Covid Vaccination.
21 Answers
I have been given an appointment for a Covid vaccination. I was given only the date and time. Is there anything I should do or not do prior to the appointment. My wife says that she has heard that we should not have any alcohol before the vaccination. Thanks folks.

and nothing within the Gov.uk leaflet that relates to the situation after vaccination either

However other (hopefully reliable) sources suggest that, for the vaccine to be most effective, it's best to refrain from alcohol for a few days prior to vaccination and for up to two weeks afterwards. e.g. here: https:/ /www.dr inkawar e.co.uk /profes sionals /press/ drinkaw are-iss ues-adv ice-on- alcohol -and-th e-covid -19-vac cine

Percy glad You’ve got a date. What “group” are you in a pls? By this I mean that the priority list has been broken up into tiers. So for eg folk over 80 in care home and frontline workers are group 1, etc
My husb is group 4 ... keen to know which group they currently doing.... I’m guessing it’s still group 1 or 2
