I have now had my second jab!!!!!
It started with my friend calling me to say a local (well 25 miles away) pharmacy was doing a walk-in today. (climbs ladder)
I called the pharmacy and they said no jab for me because it's less than 8 weeks since my first (slips down snake)
Then my Anaesthetist friend called to say they were doing a walk-in at the hospital today. I said about the 8 weeks and he said, nonsense, it's now 28 days. (climbs ladder again).
Arrive at Hospital, present card, get a slip and go to the clinic. Nurse days "this is only 45 days, we can't innoculate you until 8 weeks have passed!" (dragged screaming and kicking down snake)
Then I ask a staff nurse if my friend is about - and he is doing innoculations himself. I wait, he comes out and I explain the issue - he says "there's a special form". He fills it out and I get my jab!!!! (I strangle the Snake, pass GO and collect my £200!!!)
So, it seems you CAN be vaccinated early, but it needs a special form filling out. It also seems many don't know or don't care.......Like in Portugal, it's not what you know, it's who you know!
Only downside is that i now have a burning sensation in my left arm and it feels (like last time) as if I've been hit with a baseball bat!
Still, good for Christmas!!
