Thought I'd just update this post to say that Jumbo delivered on all counts. Arrived in NL on Friday morning, and had a delivery booked with Jumbo for Saturday afternoon, to give us room to make changes in case of problems - and it was lucky ... Read More
Vaccine for covid 19 by blackadder101
Has anyone taken the vaccine yet ? if so did you experience any side effects ? If you do take the vaccine do you get a certificate that might help you get exempt from a PCR test when travelling ?
My wife and I (both in our last weeks of living in the UK) have had both doses of Astra Zeneca vaccine. I had chills and a fever for a few hours afterwards, although I didn't actually feel too bad in myself. Second jab I had no side effects ... Read More

Ah yes, we did find it a bit more expensive, but there are only a few options we could find where they'd deliver to the area we are going to stay for the first 6 weeks. We're really only using this to get us through the first ten days or so ... Read More
