Same as quite a few of us, I'm hoping the second jab is an easier event after that.
According to the 'consentor' I spoke to (perhaps not the right title, the one who asks all the questions) those who had bad reactions to the 1st jab are usually fine for the 2nd. Whereas if you have no reactions first time around you're more likely to when having the 2nd jab.

Edit: I specifically asked as my wife was very poorly for 48 hours after the first jab, we're both waiting for the 2nd.

Great news then, if I'd not just had the jab when the headache started leading onto a sleepless shivery night I'd have honestly thought I'd caught the fucker.

The speed of 'illness' would have been scary as fuck if it actually was CV rather than the mini controlled vaccine dose.
 
So after being all cocky yesterday about how I felt totally fine after the vaccine, I've had the worst night in a long time: thumping headache, shivering violently, aching all over and feeling like I could be sick at any second. I think I slept for maybe three hours. Ended up taking the day off work (which I hate doing) but there's no way I could drive safely, nor do my very stressful job. I'm glad to hear that the second dose seems to be OK.

Obviously this is only from a single person (an auxiliary I think) although she is involved so hopefully correct. That said I barely had a reaction so hoping it's a general comment rather than a hard and fast rule.

CV does hit you fast does it not? I thought I had it last September when I went from walking the dog twice a day to not being able to get beyond the back gate overnight. Turned out to be a serious chest infection that made me housebound for 2 weeks and knackered for another 4 (with maybe a little left over yet).

Like falling off a cliff.

Headache straight after 9.30 injection, couple of paracetamol, felt ok then 3/4 hours later felt shit, then shitter etc ending up hurting moving in bed, hot but cold in bones...rough following day, been mentioned as like a hangover but I put it down to just no sleep. Started to feel human (if ever ;)) about 17.00 on day 2. Slept like a baby that night from 20.00 and fine afterwards.

Wouldn't wish it on anyone.
 
Both me and my wife are in our 70th year, my wife is registered disabled. We both had the first jab, Astra-Zeneca, and both had minor ache around the injection which lasted a couple of days. The government web site, gov.co.uk covid update section has a a lot of info about side effects which is updated on a regular basis as more data is available. Worth looking at if you are at all worried. Remember, in the trial before general availability, almost 60% said they had side effects of various levels of severity, almost half of them had been given the dummy jab.
 
No reaction at all to jab 1 . I once had a yellow fever or cholera jab and that was a ride . Never felt worse over 12 hours. I still have a mark on my arm from a kid when we got some 8 needle thing in school. Of course in those days no one asked permission or whined if it hurt or there was a reaction.

The school vaccination program for TB required parental permission of all children under 16.
