[Tech1] Jab

[Nick Ware]

We were trained for dealing with it on the Hostile Environment Course in my time working for CBS News. Pretty graphic simulation by medical experts. We each carried an Adrenaline injector wherever we went, athough thankfully never had to use them.
Plus, travelling over a period of months, some of it in 1980’s Russia with a type 1 Diabetic sound assistant, I had to give him his jab on several occasions. I quickly learnt to recognise an imminent fitting attack. The worst moment being the occasion that his jab kit had gone into the hold of an Aeroflot aircraft, and we were kept waiting for two hours in the Warsaw airport departures lounge.
And yes, I sat there for my 15 minute post jab observation period, as I would advise anyone to.
Cheers,
Nick.

Rare though it may be, if you’ve ever witnessed a case of anaphylactic shock you’d probably opt for the 10 minute wait – its pretty terrifying.

They must all know by now that any kind of a reaction is highly unlikely. It’s a tiny amount of vaccine with a very fine needle and shallow injection.
Cheers,
Nick.

Just a quick comment on Alan's post:

I had my vaccination on Thursday (at Plymouth Argyle's stadium, as it goes, and while it wasn't quite in and out in 5 minutes, very well organised) with the Oxford/AstraZenica jab, and I was told that the 15 minute sit-down wasn't necessary with that one.  And I was driving, but they didn't even ask.

AZ / Oxford jab for me yesterday.  Virtually no queuing and as my wife was driving me, they didn’t insist I waited for ten minutes before leaving.  I was in and out in less than five minutes.
