For those who have had the vaccine

[Citizen of Legoland]

I thought it was a lifelong affliction of which there was no known cure, despite lighting candles and a feeling of always being the victim

That's dippertheria.

You've had COVID though anyway haven't you Kaz? Don't know what's the point of a vaccine to invoke an immune response and develop antibodies, in someone who presumably already has antibodies?

FWIW I had mine (AZ #1) today and a have a very, very slightly sore arm. Nothing else so far... and hoping it stays that way.

Because i was sick 12 months ago and my last antibody test they were barely there , everyone is getting vaccinated

Still yawning away and slightly sore arm , just feel tired

I had my jab on a Thursday evening but only got side effects Saturday. Probably peaked around lunchtime. Really wasn't much tbh, just spent the day resting/sleeping. So I'd agree, stand by!

Had my AZ Saturday afternoon and now my side effects have gone as of this afternoon drank loads of fluid last 2 days

I got an antibody test 15 days after my AZ jab (through the ONS) and came up positive for antibodies, if anyone was after re-assurance

That is very reassuring. My first thoughts when the vaccines were close to the roll-out was that when everybody had the jab, they could download the test results and get a response, basically a big green V on your phone for having been vaccinated, or a bg green A for having antibodies present, if you hadn't had the jab yet. Or a big red W for not having anything and wasting everyone's time and effort.

No side effects whatsoever from 1st jab. Not even a sore arm. ( however there seems to be growing evidence that some folk who have had Covid - whether they realised it or not at the time, tend to have more pronounced side effects)

Pfizer second dose is meant to be a bastard, AZ first dose is the bastard. AZ second dose is meant to be a lot easier. Just the other way around for some reason.

Had both the Pfizer doses (healthcare worker). Bar a heavy arm no side effects whatsoever. Of the 25+ people I know that are fully vaccinated with Pfizer only one had side effects (dodgy stomach), everyone else fine

Well having had mine at 11:00 yesterday I am waiting for the potential ill-effects but so far none at all. No chills, headache, tiredness, nothing. A miniscule amount of arm pain which tbh had I not had the jab yesterday, I may not even have noticed. That miniscule.

Had the AZ vaccine, just felt a bit of a prick, so nothing new :)
