Today [7]

I got the Pfizer vaccine for both of my jabs but would have taken the other if that had been the one offered and kept my fingers crossed I didn't get the side effects or I could have been in trouble. I must say though that I'd take the side effects over catching Covid any day.

We have choice of 4 or 5 vaccines but I haven't taken the shots yet because even with an appointment I would have to wait in queue for an hour or more. People are coming from other, mostly neighboring countries in a new industry, "Vaccine Tourism":

That doesn't sound very well organised. I was in and out for mine in ten minutes. I asked how many they were doing today. It was 800. This was just a small medical centre who were doing the jabs on behalf of all the local GP practices.

When I went for mine it was all done with military precision - walk in, answer a few questions then roll up your sleeve and get your jab, no queuing, although I have just checked up and only 350,000 jabs were given out that day in the UK, so it was pretty quiet one.

No, not very organized, there are just few centers where to do it.

I had to wait a bit on Saturday but that was because my jab was at 09:00 and they didn't start until then and I arrived a bit early. My card is stamped 9:01.

Mine said 12:58 and do not even think of coming early, so sat in the car until the correct time and sailed straight through.

They said that to me too but you know.

It's you old folks always turning up early and clogging up the system
