Hi Enorac, my brother and I had the Astra Zeneca jab on the 21/03/2021, it even showed the batch number on the card. My brother was OK but had head aches for almost 3 months. The second jab was in June 2021 and head aches again. Cannot remember the name for the one we had for the autumn, but I was OK. The one we got in February 2022 was from Pfizer/BioNTech with bach number. My brother died 12 days later. ?? - Cannot remember the one I got last year but had no problems what so ever, but did not get a card or batch number. - I am getting my next jab on Monday and wonder if the batch number and the name gets recorded again. I want a card again. - Nick

I didnāt get s card last time. Always had Pfizer but that was Moderna. I noticed nothing afterwards. My husband just had a sore arm for 24 hours at the site. All the jabs including top ups and he still died from Covid. Itās a curse.

How wonderful, I can imagine you felt fantastic when you were out (albeit a little nervous I imagine) but honestly, well done for taking that first step. I have absolutely no doubt that Martin was with you every step of the way.
That first outing was the most difficult, but please remember how it made you feel when, at any time in the future you get a wobble and donāt want to go out.
Every day, when I walk my dogs, I talk to my Dad, that was our thing, Iād always call him when dog walking. I see my Dad in the beautiful clouds and know that he is watching over me and still taking care of me.
Good luck Dottie and enjoy this sunshine and your shakes! Martin will be proud xxx
