Oh, bugger.

At least you are providing data, I guess. I assume you report positive tests to them?

A little less than 3 weeks, I think it's 28 days.

You will be super immune!

Caught up with a friend over the weekend, including a long ride with 2 coffee breaks and lunch on Saturday and a train ride together unmasked yesterday.

She had two positive LFT yesterday evening.

Jon's gone back to work today (his isolation finished at midnight last night). First time at the hospital for three weeks...

Yay!

My Covid booster jab is now booked for this Wednesday (3 November) - 29 days after my +ve test for Covid.

Still struggling to get a 'flu jab though.

Are they not dishing them out in your hospital Reg?

We got some supply and I was due to have it - only to get Covid and have to go into isolation (so no trip to the hospital). We're now waiting for fresh stock - hopefully some will be delivered later this week, in which case I may get the 'flu jab before we go on holiday next week.

Finally managed to find a pharmacy with some 'flu vaccine... half an hour's drive away in Suffolk.

My appointment is booked for Friday morning, giving me a few days to get over any side effects before we board the ship next Thursday.

Another member of the 3 jabs club here. I'm immunosuppressed, or so they tell me, so technically mine wasn't a booster, but it's the same thing (perhaps with the addition a blessing over the needle by a member of clergy).

Yep.

Well, I am no longer a guinea pig. I had my last Cov-BOOST clinical trial appointment this morning. The trial is finishing early, due to changes in the booster regime.

I got a very American "thank you for your service" from the nurse...
