Being in 2 high risk groups I was privileged to have had the 1st dose of this vaccine a few days ago. I'll need the second one in 2-3 weeks.
Only side effect was a sore arm overnight.
1st dose gives about 52% immunity.
2nd about 95%.
Potential for more severe side effects after 2nd in the form of chills, headaches, joint pains.
Next time I'm in Gloucester Cathedral I'll pay my respects to Edward Jenner.
He is the man credited with saving more lives that any other through the invention of vaccination.
He came from nearby Berkeley and there's a statue of him just inside the main entrance.
