I felt a bit tired and achy on the first..nothing on the second. I am very lucky, we live a few hundred metres from a vaccination centre and were called one snowy night to stop a waste of vaccines. My wife and I are both teachers, so we, and some police were allowed to mop up leftovers.
I have read this whole thread and my tuppence worth includes daily dealing with those who doubt the pandemic and the mitigations, causing immeasurable anxiety and stress to many of us by not having the decency to follow guidelines around us. For me it was mainly older teens, but family members and even for my wife, colleagues.
My father came out of retirement as a consultant pharmacist and was overjoyed when we said we have been vaccinated. I would listen to his opinion, or my sister (GP) and my brother (ICU nurse who had covid in each wave) over any anti. And, yes, they are entitled to their opinion, but they will get no time for me.
A colleague of mine was asymptomatic but had a positive test after regular screening. He believes he has had it twice and knows it barely affects him, but his consideration for others, and the unknown level to which it will affect them means he is considered and respectful in how he behaves around them.
I wonder if that is all that is missing.
