British Problems

When you've cycled to the vaccine centre and had that 4th Covid jab and it's a new variant and where you've been asked by 4 different people if you're allergic to anything and then told to stay seated for 15 mins as you're on your own and cycling could be dangerous should you have a reaction.

Then your minds start racing, what if you have a reaction and keel over. And then further, after 20 mins when you're on your bike in school rush surburbia. What if that reaction kicks in 25 mins after the jab. I don't stand a chance looking at how some of these parents drive.

I think the fifteen minutes gives them enough time to know if you would have a reaction, if you were going to, I'm betting you'd feel some symptoms early enough. I had my COVID and flu jab last Monday. Beyond a little bit of soreness where the needles went in, I felt nothing and didn't know I'd had either of them. My husband felt sick after his and another friend was feeling poorly for a couple of days. There's always the possibility of reaction with any jab but better to get protection and do your bit to lessen the spread if you can. Maybe wait a bit longer, till the nutters on the roads are back in their houses. You can be doubly sure then xx
