Seems like I'm being left behind!

Nananet sorry not nabanet!

Nabanet01 I think we've all had thoughts and feelings during lockdown that we know aren't "logical" and that's why your feelings took you by surprise.
It's sometimes pointless fighting these feelings and I find it can be easier to push them out with things that evoke the opposite emotions rather than trying to reason myself out of the negative ones and fight with them!
For example, if you think about happy holidays or events you've enjoyed or what it is that you love about your husband - that might evoke feelings that push the twinge of jealousy away.
Having a laugh -whether it's your favourite comedy films or old family anecdotes - can be therapeutic. Or simply acknowledge you're feeling a bit "off" and treat yourself to something, from your favourite ice lolly to a new top or whatever.
We all have different views on spiritual things but I also find handing things over to God in quiet prayer, rest in his peace and asking him to replace my negative emotions with positives is very effective. (I'm by no means trivialising any serious struggles folk have and am also a great believer in professional counselling).
Didn't set out to get so heavy with this. Anyway - be kind to yourself and don't feel guilty. ?

I agree, my husband wo is 66 has had his, I did ask (I am 63), if I could have mine at the same time and was told no, I need to wait1 I feel anxious at having to wait. Mix of emotions, glad he has had his, but.....
Also seems odd, a friend, who lives close by, who is 55, without underlying health issues has had hers!

Fewgaas19 I think you are on the wrong thread......

nananet01, my friend felt the same. She waited outside the centre at 'end of session' time - when leftover doses of vaccine are offered to anyone - to get her vaccine early.

Hi, due to my husband having a heart attack in November, we have decided to take early retirement. This means selling our house and hopefully making a profit. We are thinking of Louth Lincolnshire. Does anyone know the area?

This must be the first time in history that people have wished they were a few years older rather than younger. It’s interesting that you’re surprised by your own reaction - it’s definitely vaccine envy! I find myself writing ‘wonderful’ on social media or on the phone when older friends announce they’ve had the shot, whereas in reality I feel a pant of envy ?? which I do my best to conceal and about which I am not proud. I’m off for mine this afternoon so I can torture my younger chums now!

I wonder if it's because you are suddenly in the vulnerable, unvaccinated group? I feel something of the same, and am looking forward to my jab!

I was relieved that DH had his as he has health conditions, I received mine 2 weeks or so later (just last week) at the Surgery if your name wasn’t on the list then you couldn’t go in.
My niece lives around the corner from her surgery and at 9pm the other night got a phone call to say that they had 2 vaccinations left over and did she and her husband want them? they didn’t need asking twice, she has a long term health condition (in remission at the moment) and has been worried about catching Covid from her school aged children. Im Assuming it was the Pfizer vaccine.

Yes they will refuse you if you haven’t had the letter or are not in the correct category!

My husband and I had ours this week, to be fair much earlier than I was expecting.
We have both worked all the way through, and we have school aged children living with us, but we’ve taken sensible precautions, and I haven’t spent too much time worrying about it, even when I was aware that it was in the school and nursery.
I think you are being a bit silly, we all have to wait our turn.

Hello nananet I confess that I felt the same when my husband was phoned in regards to his vaccine and I heard nothing, however I was called a few days later to go for mine, but I can relate to your thoughts as I have underlying health problems so I already felt vulnerable. But your vaccination will happen.

of course it is o.k. to feel left out, or whatever,

these are strange times, and our thoughts/minds, whatever you want to call them, are all over the place.

lucky you if there is anyone here who can genuinely deny that!

I had my first,, the Pfiffer one... can`t wait for my second one
call me what you like, it is the humanness in me!

You will have your vaccination shortly just don’t worry. My DH and I have had the vaccination. However my dauggter in early 40s currently staying with us recovering from a surgical operation hasnt had the vaccination. My DH shielding as well. We have district nurses coming in daily to attend to our daughter. It’s a concern but little we can do about it. She has to wait her turn.

Nananet01 I totally get you. My husband is 68 and was called fairly early as they were ahead in our area - I felt a bit envious just because I’m still
Nervous of catching it even though we follow the rules and I can’t wait for it to be my turn. As they’ve now out in another group with underlying conditions etc I guess it may take a bit longer to get to the 60-64 group but let’s just keep our fingers crossed eh. He did ask if I could go with him when he went but the answer was a resounding no!

The joy of living in a country with an organised and extremely efficient roll out of the vaccination programme means having to be patient and wait four weeks in a warm comfortable house to have your jab has become stressful. You will be done shortly, chill, relax, have another glass of wine and a slice of cake! ????‍♀️

My DH, 80, had his 30th December, I was quite disappointed I did not have mine at the same time, though younger I am considered extremely vulnerable. Anyway I had mine in January, DH had Pfizer and I had OAZ, we now await our 2nd calling!!

If your appointment is after 4pm there is a better chance your companion will be done, by that time they could have some spare and not want to waste them.

My oh had his two weeks before me I didn't think to ask to have it with him I had mine last week so not too long to wait they were very strict about going in alone they have got to have a system hope yours isn't too long .We have both got appointment in April for 2nd jab .

My son is a doctor and recently they had 455 patients who were being vaccinated. One person did not turn up due to illness so my son rang me and asked if I would like that shot. He came to my house to give it to me . I think the availability
depends on how many people don't turn up when invited. If there is likely to be some left over you may be lucky and get it as they do not want to waste it.

Nananet01 - I can understand a little. There's 10 years between me and DH and he was vaccinated a couple of weeks ago, and it did feel quite strange. However, taking the vaccine when you're offered it is the only sensible thing (even responsible) thing to do, so good for him.
On the bright side things are moving ever so fast now. When DH was jabbed we worked out on the original programme I might not have had a jab until late April - but I actually had one yesterday - Hooray!!
Also it's important to remember that having had a first jab means nothing more than you're travelling that road - towards some immunity in the coming months DH can't do anything extra as a result of being jabbed so in many ways - so what?
Hope you get your jab really soon!

You really must just wait your turn, and soon the under-65s will be vaccinated. Just be patient.

You are able to go on the NHS website and book. They do have a degree of flexibility as to age and needs....

Those who have had their second dose, were you invited back automatically, or did you have to book? I was told it was due on April 24th, but I wasn’t given an appointment.

When you ring to make the appointment, just ask if you can also be vaccinated. They made me an appointment without any hassle and I went along with my husband, who is 6 years older and in a different age group. Surely it makes sense to have those cohabiting together equally protected. If you don't ask you don't get.

Boz you are not allowed to go in with anyone! There are strict rules about who enters the building.
