frankS Posted August 12, 2021 Share Posted August 12, 2021 Donna. I had my second shot last week by my local doctor and she issued me with a written notification of my vaccine shots. Think some sort of official receipt comes from Medicare later on. Frank 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frank Frank, if you can download the Medicare Express App and sign in an electronic version will be there already. Any healthcare professionals who are vaccinating will all log into the same place to add details of persons they vaccinate. It is the national Australian Immunisation Register (AIR). If you're enrolled in Medicare, you’ll already be on the AIR. Of course the paper certificate is perfectly acceptable too. Well done Frank Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They need to work through some other issues. https://www.innovationaus.com/nsw-may-add-vaccine-record-to-service-nsw-app/ It is also a great idea for everyone to activate their MyHealthRecord as well 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Green Hornet Posted August 12, 2021 Share Posted August 12, 2021 Thanks for posting this Donna. I just had my second AZ shot an hour ago. Even though I don't live in a locked down area, its a relief to be fully vaccinated. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Second Pfizer shot 3 weeks later hit me after 12 hours, sore joints & muscles, headache, hot/cold chills for 12 hours, felt better 12 hours later. Living on your own makes it much worse that if you have other people around imo. 1 hour ago, mrsswordfisherman said: Some people need help with checking in using a smart phone - see post above Some people need more than that.

kingie chaser Posted August 13, 2021 Share Posted August 13, 2021 A so called immunologist expert I was listening to this morning said there is no doubt in his mind 100% of the Australian population will eventually get covid at some point, whether thats this year or next. Your best chance is if you have have had the vaccine but you will still get covid. The country cannot keep going like this, get vaccinated then open up & let it run its course like the flu does every year. If not look forward to a permanent paralysis to your freedoms! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dirvin21 Posted August 13, 2021 Share Posted August 13, 2021 I've had both my AZ's, I was part of the first rollout first dose was a bit brutal but second dose was fine, I just considered it a mere addition to the many vaccines I've had in the name of being a "frontline health worker" 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pegz Posted August 13, 2021 Share Posted August 13, 2021 I have had my first AZ with the wife. The next day I got the chills and joint aches but worst were i have arthritis then that eased and during the night a bad headache took some Panadol and it was all gone in the morning. The wife had no side effects. Next jab in a couple of weeks 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having vaccine doesn't guarantee you not catching Covid-19. The vaccine teaches your immune system to fight the virus as soon as you get it so it doesn't take off in your body and you get really really sick. With the vaccine you may not even feel any symptoms or you get a mild sickness usually. Just like with influenza though, if it mutates we may need to get boosters each year to cover you for the different variations.

wazatherfisherman Posted August 13, 2021 Share Posted August 13, 2021 Thanks for posting this Donna. I had my first jab nearly 5 months ago and second one about 6 weeks ago now. AZ vaccine. I currently don't have a smart phone and am wondering if you know of a way to acquire the required proof by any other means, such as a card or some sort of paperwork. I will get a new phone in the next month or so, but just wondered if there is an alternative way. With thanks. Waza 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Jim, nothing I didn't already know but others may not. Although our government & a big % of Australia need to take the blinkers off! Many countries have gone back to life as normal & when I say life as normal I mean normal 2021, living with the virus. They still have high infection rates even with 70% fully vaccinated but there is a low death rate. Something our politicians don't want to accept or tell the public about but it will happen here.

Waza @wazatherfisherman if you have a MyGov account go to it and sign in When you log in there is a quick Link that will take you to "COVID-19 vaccination status" Click on that link and you are presented with options to "view COVID-19 digital certificate". Select this and it will come on your screen. You can save a copy to your computer and/or print it out. PM me if you need help waza 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingie chaser Posted August 13, 2021 Share Posted August 13, 2021 You can also download the certificates to your phone or PC & you can also print it. Probably a good idea to have it on your PC as employers or other groups might want you to send it to them? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
