Good afternoon@gennepher. I have been having the flu jab for years at my GP surgery and have never been told that it takes 14 days to become effective but hubby has been told this in the past when he had his flu jab at the local pharmacy. I had mine a few weeks ago with no after effects at all. Best wishes.:)

Hi @dogslife
Thank you.
So far this year no effects at all, and the last few years I am usually feeling ill by now, but nothing this year...thank goodness.
You have a good day :)

Apologies AA if only I'd known

That's ok. Your threat of incarceration has led me to be inspired in my art concerning both your door and potential arson.

I shall post it later when I have finished the other chores :)

Fbg...I forgot with going for the flu jab...

Sitting by the open front window waiting for the Cat's dementia tablets to be delivered. I need the window open to be able to see the delivery vehicle. Package was supposed to be delivered by two minutes past midday, but it wasn't. It's now 14:02

Had to put Popeye in potting shed because he was determined to escape to outside.

I wish they would hurry up...tracking says Popeye's tablets are still in transit but not where they are...

Here is today's iPastel app painting.

Just come back from having the flu jab, after being unexpectedly offered one this weekend (not at my doctors surgery, but at another location). I was ushered along a corridor and told to wait. Then told to go to this room. A nurse came to me. It was by an open door to outside, which had a high chain link fencing on the other side of the path. I was jabbed. Given a clear face mask, and told to wear that instead of my mask which she told me was not good for my asthma. She said mine was too close to my face and nose for breathing...

I have never seen this nurse before, she does not know me. There were a few names highlighted in yellow on her list, and my name was highlighted in yellow.

None of this malarkey about having to sit down and wait after the flu jab for 15 minutes or so in case you have anaphylactic shock. I was chucked out of the door into the fresh air, but not before being told I had to self isolate for two weeks because of the flu jab, and because it doesn't take for 14 days. And I could become very ill and catch the flu in that 14 days. And because of Wales and Covid.

I had no prior warning I was to self isolate because of the flu jab. I didn't have any fresh food shopping in. I had been going to do it after the jab. I was out anyway, so got fresh food in. Glared evilly at anyone who tried to invade my 2metre space. And came home.

Has anyone else who had the fu jab been told to self isolate for 14 days?
I was not asked to self isolate after jab. They did ask if I was allergic to eggs as its incubated in eggs.

News to me. I helped out at our local surgery when we mass jabbed 1200 patients - not a whisper of self isolating.

my fbg this morning was 4.6 apart from that nothing much to report except as Melody has been asked by her consultant to avoid dairy for a week or so, I have been developing a new skill of cooking both keto and dairy free meals combined.

Weird me being asked to do that.
You helped out with herding the patients in and out?
How the heck did they do 1200 patients? In one day? And social distance?

I never saw another soul where I went, yet this nurse was doing other patients because of her list. A timed list for the day. There couldn't have been more than 24 names on her list. No one was waiting when I walked in.

Mine was the same 4 nurses, walk through, jab as you passed a nurse, no long lines of people, perfect social distancing, 4 done every few minutes.
Judith had her jab at work NHS hospital they use the egg free vaccine.
There seems so many different vaccines for this flu jab malarkey. I assume someone knows what they are doing. :(
