had the pfizer one in january-no side effects at all. i have a weekly swab test and the quality of the kits is getting poorer.
 
Had the AZ jab on Tuesday, felt tired after an hour of having it so had a nap. Watched the match then went to bed, was really restless and felt like I was burning up. Had a better night last night but still feel really warm and have a cracking headache.
 
Sore upper arm and shoulder and stiff legs for 24 hours after Pfizer 1st dose. Nothing to be concerned about.
 
I had Pfizer in January. Very tender arm for a day or so. Felt like it would be a big bruise, but nothing to see! My work colleagues were mostly the same, one or two had flu like aches. Next dose at the end of this month hopefully.

Not me(not had it yet) but the wife had a really bad 48 hours with alternate chills & hot flushes. Also had painful joints and serious fatigue. Not great on top of her usual issues.

Is the 2nd jab a weaker version of it or the same strength? Hopefully the 1st jab will help anyway unless that's not how it works?

Edit: I forgot her headache & sore throat symptoms too.

And as luck would have it, just had my date for the 11th of March. Bumped up the list as an 'unpaid carer' apparently although given I hit 60 at the end of the month , it's not much of a bump.

I have the flu jab every year and have never had even a sore arm from it so I'm hopeful of no side effects.
 
Had Pfizer. The usual ache at the sight of the injection for a couple of days.

But also had terrible pain in my left shoulder, right in the joint. Not sure if it was connected to the jab, or I did it whilst training.

I am mostly convinced it was from the injection. It required about 3 weeks to stop aching.
 
Most vaccines have a reaction. They always have. It's just thst we were all rugrats when we got them, so can't remember. When I got jabs before going to India I thought I had the flu for a few days on arrival, before I realised what it was. Plus, not dying or getting really ill kind of trumps it for me. Vaccines work, mild side effects or not. Listen to scientists. We have all been vaccinated before. Leave those too stupid to realise they have been vaccinated to FB and agreeing with Hank from Alabama telling the thick cunts it's a conspiracy to control their mind. Although controlling Hanks mind would get a like from me.
 
Had the Oxford vaccine , bit of a headache ,like you get with a head cold , gone the next day.
 
Scheduled for J&J vaccine on Sat morning. Based on the numerous reports and personal reactions, I have to have 48hrs off work after the jab in case of after effects. Will let you know.
 
No problem with the AZ vaccine at all. I do worry that people like me won't bother to vote as much as those that have a reaction. There's an urge to tell people if you feel unwell. I know lots of people that have had it, mostly with no side effects or occasional sore arm or headache but still hear anecdotes such as the cleaner at my partner's work who was in bed ill for 2 days after. Those of us who didn't notice anything stories are unremarkable. I think we will be able to rely on the official figures as there's millions vaccinated now.

What people don't understand is this is a mass vaccination of an entire population of all ages. Most vaccinations are given when people are young which allows for a very distinct control group when it comes to reporting safety. With these vaccines there is no control group other than every single person in the population and that makes it extremely difficult.

The fact is though these vaccines are extremely safe and the media are absolute fools for reporting anything but that. More people will die or have adverse reactions as a result of taking ibuprofen or paracetamol this year but you don't see conspiracy theorists or morons calling for them to be banned.

As a population we are extremely sensitive at the moment to information and that's unfortunately a consequence of living in an unchecked social media world and also 5 years of political nonsense where both the media and political establishments have been at war.
 
Is one of the side effects not maintaining social distancing? Plenty of old timers now just seem to do what they want recently having received the vaccine. Forgetting they can still catch and pass on the virus.
