12. Funnily enough, I had a not too dissimilar experience...

I started to get text messages from the HSE here in Ireland, to book my second booster. I was a bit reticent in replying because I had heard nothing about a second booster shot being on offer ! Anyway, subsequently I had a missed call followed by a message to call them on the recognised national number. Indeed they confirmed that I was eligible the second booster.

As it happened I saw they were taking walk-ins at our City Hall so in I went on the Sunday (which was the last day at that centre) and I was in and out within 15 minutes, they don't even require you to sit and wait anymore. The nurse said " but you aren't immuno compromised" to which I had replied correct but the HSE insisted I get it. She had turned numerous people down the previous weekend but said she couldn't be bothered this time ! There wasn't much of a queue, they should have been grateful people wanted the shot !

I got the Pfizer too and apart from it been noticeable around the puncture site, it was no problem.
