QI’m busy at work and if I don’t go in I don’t get paid. I’m worried I might need a day off due to the side effects of the vaccine. Is the booster actually safe?

AYes

– it has been rigorously tested and approved for use by the MHRA. Millions of people have been protected from serious illness by getting vaccinated, and any side effects are generally very mild and don’t last more than 24 hours.

It’s easier than ever to get the jab, it only takes a few minutes and you can get it at a time that’s convenient for you – even at the weekend.

If you get Covid-19 you will definitely need to take several days off work to isolate and recover. So even if you have to take one day off work because of the sideeffects of the jab, that’s a much better scenario in terms of your job situation.
