As I noted earlier, I got the J&J on Sunday. Yesterday I felt absolutely miserable - muscle aches, chills, headache, exhaustion. This morning I've improved somewhat, but I'm still not back to normal.

My Moderna'd left arm has been aching since yesterday evening. I'm now convinced they've put something stronger than water into the shoulder. No fevers or chills or any of the other regular side-effects yet, but all the reports say that it's the second dose of Moderna that really fucks you up.

The 10 worst performing states in the US in terms of vaccinating people are:
Alabama, Georgia, Mississippi, Tennessee, Arkansas, Texas, South Carolina, Indiana, Louisiana and Idaho.
I wonder if we can find any common theme here?
(The next 10 are MIssouri, Utah, Nevada, North Carolina, Oregon, Michigan, Florida. Wyoming, Kansas and Ohio - the correlation isn't quite so strong, but it remains pretty pronounced).

So I went and got an an armful of Pfizer this afternoon. It was all pretty laid back at the rec centre, lots of volunteers (or underemployed tourism workers) to ease all us low-70s through the process. They'd even chosen an age appropriate music mix. Unfortunately Knockin' on Heavens Door was playing as I arrived, which caused some ripples of amusement. I was in and out in half an hour, and half of that was waiting to see if there were any immediate reactions. I asked when my second dose was due, "No idea." said the the nurse. "In four months" sang a chorus of tourism workers. So there you go, or at least I did.

It looks like it might be both
The pace of first-dose vaccinations looks set to slow significantly for several weeks after a downwards revision in official forecasts and a delay in the import of 5 million doses from India now expected to last until at least June.
A modelling paper produced for the Sage scientific advisory committee said the pace of England’s vaccination programme could be squeezed to 2.7m a week until the end of July, leaving little surplus for first doses until tens of millions of second doses had been administered.[...]
In England, the requirement for second doses in England rises to between 2.1m and 2.4m a week from the middle of April, in response to the speeding up of the vaccination programme during January. On paper, that leaves only a small surplus for new first doses of a few hundred thousand a week.

8.42m in 2019 according to that page. It's actually the smallest cohort among working age adults, there's a noticeable drop off in the 40-44 range. So it might not take that long to get through us, bearing in mind health workers and the vulnerable, as FB notes above.Last edited by jwdd27; 07-04-2021, 22:04.

Perhaps it's not so much of a joke.

P pointed out something when we were discussing this last night. The chances of getting blood clots while on the pill are hugely greater than the risk from the AZ jab. But doctors don't bother to tell women about it. And they're like 1 in 1000 during pregnancy. Which also doesn't get mentioned much.
Some idea of comparative risk would be useful from them in charge so people can make an educated decision.
