Another Jab

[ffutures]

Had my second Covid jab today. Feeling fine so far, we'll see how it goes. Hoping I'll be well enough to get out and vote in the local government elections tomorrow, if I'd noticed the coincidence of dates I would have got a postal ballot to be on the safe side, but it's a bit late now. When I had the first dose I felt a bit queasy on day two but otherwise fine, hopefully this will be similar.

Got home to find a letter saying I've been randomly chosen to take part in an NHS periodic study - if I agree to participate they'll send me a Covid test kit, by testing several thousand people at intervals they'll get an idea of how it's spreading (if it still is). The down side of course is having to self-isolate if the test shows I have the virus, even if there are no symptoms. I think I'll join in, I think I'm better off knowing.

Yippee on the second jab. Mine is booked for next week.

I guess the more people who volunteer, the better the data is for mapping the spread. When they were asking for surge test volunteers locally back in February, I did that (Negative). And I'm in the Biobank mass medical data study, so they recently sent me a finger prick test to check for Covid antibodies.

The finger result was I do have antibodies. Which is good news as it means my first Covid jab worked!

Good - I'm pretty sure the 2nd jab worked because I'm a bit urgh and running a slight temperature today, but it never hurts to be sure.

Hope you are back to normal soon.
