Serous question.
What side effects are people getting from the jab?
Myself and wife (pfizer) - very minor fluey impact.
Family member 1 (oxford) - fluey - sick
Family member 2 (oxford) - serious side effects and taken to hospital

Very efficient operation
Both Pfizer. Missus slightly sore arm forone day. Me, no reaction whatsoever.
Glad we didn't insist on the "British one"
Really happy with this vaccine rill out. Hope it doesn't get thrown away by a hasty end to lockdown.
I avoided watching the Panorama programme on Covid deniers. I would have smashed the tele in frustration and anger.

In the UK we have, generally, been very suspicious of the Russian and Chinese vaccines. 'Would you trust a Russian vaccine?' type comments. To me though Russian and Chinese scientists are surely just as competent as our own and their Governments will make adequate funds available. A lot of politics at play here I suspect. Many countries are quite happy to buy from Russia and China. Who are we (UK) to be sniffy about it?Thought you might like an insight into the situation here. Elena has had two vaccinations of the Sputnik vaccine at a 3 week interval. Her job is considered a vital one and I'm not referring to her part time fashion modelling! (they don't seem to have the front line workers concept here). She is in her 30s.
There is a high level of scepticism still about the vaccine. Peer reviews in the UK as reported in the Lancet suggest it is effective at a similar level to the Astra one. There is strict advice about alcohol consumption: no drinking from the first vaccination until three weeks after the second.
I have had the first Sputnik jab (had to pay as a foreigner) So I am forcibly having to give up celebrating the occasional Gills win with russian champagne but it does at least coincide with Lent!
Elena is very worried about her late 60s mamochka back in Ukraine with no news yet of a vaccination in her town many kilometres away from Kiev.
The Government is concentrating on the very biggest cities in the vaccination programme and Moscow has had by far the worst outbreak.
