Brumstopdogs Posted May 8, 2021 Share Posted May 8, 2021 Already booked into have the AstraZeneca vaccine (which grateful to have) for Thursday but just got a text now offering the Pfizer vaccine for Sunday. What would fellow VT'ers do? Is one "better" than the other or much of a muchness? I appreciate some people haven't been offerred the vaccine yet @Genieso personally happy with either but got to decide which one to go for! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d go for whichever is soonest, jab wise we don’t really know the difference it’ll have. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mjmooney Posted May 8, 2021 VT Supporter Share Posted May 8, 2021 Interestingly, although I had virtually no reaction to my first (AZ) jab, I have had with the second - sore arm, muscle aches, headache and fatigue. But only mild, really, no worse than a minor hangover. I'll be interested to see what my antibody test reveals. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m only half serious with my moaning I know there’s a process and more than likely more needy people ahead of me in the queue. I’m working from home, young-ish and heathy-ish.

sidcow Posted May 8, 2021 VT Supporter Share Posted May 8, 2021 Anyone know if they're sticking rigidly to the 12 weeks? I had my first 13 March, just wondering when I might get called for my second. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was able to book both jabs on there (the first I had last Saturday, the 2nd the earliest I could book in was for 17th July). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My missus who got hers from her trust was booked in for her second, when she went for her first. The gap between my bookings is 1st April - 22nd June. So 12 weeks minus 2 days 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bickster Posted May 8, 2021 Moderator Share Posted May 8, 2021 Currently in the midst of a passive aggressive email exchange between me on behalf on our firm and Track and Trace "As I am sure you understand it is a legal requirement to provide this information and for the contact to isolate, it is imperative we contact the Driver to advise them of the exposure." "I can invent a booking and send you a random drivers name if it makes you feel better but we did not have a booking at X Address on Y date & Time. I will not be repeating this a fourth time. Your information is incorrect and I shall not respond to any further emails unless the information you have changes. I will of course respond to any new information or cases you may present to me" They are getting on top of this a bit more now, they are down to 6 days since exposure, which given that this is someone who is most likely to have attended the 5.000 capacity gig in Sefton Park, who would have been tested by Monday or Tuesday, it's only taken them a further 4 or 5 days to get in touch But I just get pissed off with their attitude. Every time I write back to them it's the same aggreesive "its illegal not to provide us with this information" bullshit when usually the reason I'm writing back to them is because they describe the booking address by postcode only which isn't remotely enough information to identify the booking. Today, from the off they've provided enough information to identify a booking (its a first!) but it just doesn't exist and instead of checking with the positive subject, they just keep coming back to me and getting the same answer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It doesn’t exist, therefore the driver doesn’t exist, therefore the car doesn’t exist, nor the Taxi firm, nor @bickster. I think that’s it, anyway.

I’m still none the wiser T&T: Could you tell us who was driving the taxi that went to [address] on [date/time]? Bicks: Ah yes, I can see that here in the system, thanks for providing the full address, often the house number isn’t included. T&T: Great, could you please confirm the drivers details so we can contact him/her? Bicks: I’m sorry but I can’t as that booking doesn’t exist.

I think what @Genie is getting at, is what is this mysterious information that they have provided to you which would enable you to identify a booking, yet the booking doesn't exist. I assume you mean they have provided an accurate address and time (which they normally don't by the sound of it) but you had no booking for that address at that time?
