vaxxed

This is me… fully vaxxed! Had my second jab of Astrazeneca today (so far so good). There was a bit of a mix up with the dates. I had thought it was scheduled for July 1st, and indeed said as much on a post here. But the other day I checked my calendar and I had it down for today, June 28th. So I thought best to go down to my health centre today just in case as I didn’t want to miss my appointment. Sure enough, I wasn’t on today’s list, but they let me in anyhow, since I was already there. It’s actually better timing this way as two weeks tomorrow I have my first tapas tour in over 16 months (!!!) and this way I’ll feel safer doing it.

And so now I am back at home waiting to see if I get any icky side effects. Hope not!

vacuna masiva (1)

Yesterday it was Peter’s (@SevillaEnglish) turn to get his first jab. But unlike me (my first one was on April 12th) he had to go out to the Olympic Stadium for his. Mine was at my local health centre and I was in and out in five minutes. Well, with the fifteen minute waiting period afterwards in case of an allergic reaction. But Peter’s was one of the Vacunación Masiva programs they have going on, and it doesn’t get much more massive than at this stadium. I’d actually never been there before because why would I have? It’s at the hellish far end of the Cartuja island, the saddest and most desolate part of town since EXPO ’92 finished. So the plan was to taxi over there and then walk back to civilisation. Ironically Peter lives about two minutes away from our health centre (we go to the same one).

Quite unexpectedly, despite the huge number of people filing into the stadium when we arrived, Peter also got his jab within five minutes, then we waited the required 15 extra ones, then we were out again. Very efficient. Gotta say I’m a bit envious though. Peter got Pfizer, which means his second jab will be in 3 weeks. Since I got AstraZeneca the waiting time between jabs is longer (10-12 weeks) so I won’t get my second one until July 1st. Oh well.

The walk back into town wasn’t that long, maybe 40 minutes or so, but it was so fucking bleak walking through the old EXPO site, as it always is. It was also fucking hot! About 33º by that time of day, so by the time we were back over the river we headed to the Alameda for a much needed and much deserved COLD BEER at El Disparate. Today Peter reported no side effects other than a sore arm. More news as it happens.

coronavirus, covid-19, sevilla, vaccination

So after spending all day in a total tizzy (my vaccination appointment wasn’t until 5.30 pm) I made my way to the health centre, bared my chubby arm, got the jab, and then went for a cold beer. Peter had met me there on the off chance that someone might not have shown up for their appointment and he might luck out and get his too. But it turned out that they were calling people by year of birth and he is just a couple of weeks away from his. It was actually very efficient. I was called within less than a minute of arriving, then was told to wait for 15 minutes before leaving. I waited half an hour just to be sure – I once had an anaphylactic reaction after a chemo infusion (after I got home!) and don’t ever want to experience that again.

And so that’s one down and one to go. On July 1st. Guess I should know soon enough if I am going to have any nasty side effects. So far so good… 🤞

AZ

So I got the call this morning. My first vaccination will be on Monday and the second one on July 1st, about eleven weeks apart. Astra Zeneca, which I have to admit I’m not too happy about. According to this article there are benefits to delaying the second dose, but I still don’t understand why AZ is considered dangerous for people under 50 but fine for people 60-69 (which is the latest vaccination strategy). I’m guessing they’re experimenting because they don’t have data on over 60s yet. Anyhow, have already heard from a few Twitter pals that they, or someone they know, has had AZ and they are fine. But what if I’m one of the unlucky 1 in a 100,000?? 😬
