You can get tested to see if you've had it by a company called Monitor my Health. I used them with no problems.

Cheers, might have a look at that

We seem to be having a wee resurgence of it at work lately - a lot of students have been self-reporting, but I know a few colleagues who've also had it in the past few weeks.

Got my flu & covid vaccine on Monday, arm is pretty sore but there is quite a solid lump where I have been jabbed..

[Smartie]

Seems to be an awful lot of it about at present.

My work diary has been absolutely decimated with cancellations, most of which appear to be covid related.

Scotland had the second highest infection rates in the UK, albeit Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland are all practically the same.

Levels in Scotland are 0.5% lower than in Northern Ireland but 0.5% higher than in Wales and nearly 7% higher than in England.

However levels here have dropped by more than 9% since last week.

In England, the estimated number of people testing positive for COVID-19 was 940,700 (95% credible interval: 888,600 to 994,200), equating to 1.73% of the population (a decrease from 2.43% in the previous week), or around 1 in 60 people.

In Wales, the estimated number of people testing positive for COVID-19 was 56,000 (95% credible interval: 44,200 to 69,900), equating to 1.84% of the population (a decrease from 2.38% in the previous week), or around 1 in 55 people.

In Northern Ireland, the estimated number of people testing positive for COVID-19 was 34,200 (95% credible interval: 26,000 to 43,500), equating to 1.86% of the population (a decrease from 2.17% in the previous week), or around 1 in 55 people.

In Scotland, the estimated number of people testing positive for COVID-19 was 97,500 (95% credible interval: 81,100 to 115,900), equating to 1.85% of the population (a decrease from 2.04% in the previous week), or around 1 in 55 people.

Had mine along with the flu one a couple of weeks ago. Mild stiffness in my arm for a couple of days but nothing more.

Sore arm where the covid jag was. No problems with the flu arm. Soreness was manageable and went away after 24 hours.

Likewise, got my flu and covid jabs today, got them in the same arm this time as last time I got on left and right arms and a couple of hours later couldnt lift my arms above my waist as they felt dead

Wonder if they are doing street by street as I saw a few of my neighbours in getting their jabs too

24 hrs of feeling a bit **** and a dead arm for a a couple of days or so. Covid and flu in the same arm.

[Bridge hibs]

I thought you got the same vaccine as previous, I had three Pfizer/BioNTech vaccines but yesterday received Moderna, not that Im fussed, covid vaccine is protection no matter, just curious though

Felt fine yest, sore arm this morning and body sore and shivery, that I can handle compared to covid

I mentioned a few days ago that when I went a couple of weeks ago the nurse told me this year the vaccine had been specially adapted to protect people from the Omicron variant so I can only assume that is the reason for the change.

Has anyone else found they seem to be more prone to other infections since having covid?

I had covid mid to late December last year and since then I seem to permanently have something else bothering me. I've got a cold every other week, I've had an ear infection, an infection in my taste buds that was particularly unpleasant, 2 bouts of viral tonsillitis and I've just woke up again this morning and my throat feels like I'm swallowing broken glass.

It's like my immune system is ****ed and I just can't properly clear anything.

My wife seems to keep getting pretty nasty colds/infections with greater regularity now. I had wondered if it was down to lockdown rather than Covid in the sense that we went about 2 years not getting much exposure to colds and thought our immune systems had got a bit lazy as a result. If you’ve got a child in nursery then they will be exposing you to loads of viruses too.

Definitely think the regular cold is a bit more severe now though.

An thanks SDG, that makes sense. I never actually put any thought into it until I checked the update on my phone, I do know or have heard folk stating they have had mixed jabs. I was just under the impression they would be consistent to what you previously had. As you say though due to variances in the infection they have to adapt and that makes perfect sense

I had the booster and flu jabs and felt fine.

I didn't even notice the sore arm so much this time.

[Santa Cruz]

I don't even know how many boosters I've had now, it's either 6 or 7. I think the primary 3rd dose I received was equal to 2 doses of the current Moderna dosage. I've been ill after every jag. Mr SC has never had a single reaction to any vaccines and he's had all three types that were used. Personally think its down to everybody having different immune systems and that's why we all experience different degrees of reactions.

I took the flu and booster jags at separate appointments. The vaccinator was very understanding of my reasons, said it's a personal choice. There was another brilliant young girl vaccinating down at O.T. who was so observant, on her way for her break she noticed people with walking aids and moved them out of the long queue to get them vaxxed quicker.

I read this is why rsv in babies has been so bad this year, basically a huge immunity debt needed paying from no one getting it.

More people in icu due to flu than covid for the first time since the pandemic started. Boosters doing their job, but also a crazy amount of flu just now. Flu season kicking off early this year

Interesting to note that in the UK, flu ICU admissions just overtook COVID ICU admissions for the first time in at least a year, and almost certainly for the first time since the pandemic began
