Have you had the vaccine WITH POLL

[May Kasahara]

Had the Pfizer on Tuesday morning, through work. Arm was v sore by the end of the day, then yesterday I had the full 24 hours of feeling like shit - high temp, aches and shivers. Just like when I actually had Covid, in fact.

Sweated it all out overnight and feel fine now, just tired. Next dose is booked for early May

Got quite a sore arm this morning - enough to get me out of bed this morning

Had the Pfizer jab yesterday morning, Arm felt sore last night but nothing else. Woke up about 5 this morning and ached all over. Couple of paracetamol have done the trick.

I've slept for about ten hours a night since the vaccination, which is a bit more than my usual. Nice deep sleep too.

My OH had it yesterday, experienced the sore arm like you, and overnight started to feel nauseous and ache all over.

I'll let her know it'll be over by tomorrow

 

[May Kasahara]

Yes, I was very nauseous too actually. Hope she feels better soon

I must have been lucky - the only things were sore arm and being a bit more tired than normal.

I sometimes get a sore arm and more tired than normal, but it is not usually related to any vaccines I've just been given.

Oh those numbers are nice and roundy and upside downy so I'm recording them for posterity.

As of now (and we seem to have had a rush on this week so far) - 66 (40%) YES, 99 (60%) NO.

Just ruined that for you, sorry.

Had the Pfizer jab this afternoon, no side-effects whatsoever as yet.

 

[Cid]

I was 66 I think... Had mine today, feel mildly selfish as a not particularly unhealthy (Type II, but only marginally) late 30s person who doesn't work in the public sector. But I'm kind of aware that the rollout doesn't really have that kind of nuance, and best just to accept it when it comes.

I felt a bit odd, but may be psychosomatic. See how I feel tomorrow morning. Pfizer.

Got my date for my first ...March the 4th in a car park in Barry

Work wouldn't give me the following day off as a holiday even, just in case I feel shit

Fuckers.

Incidentally I only got the message to book yesterday, so er... relatively fast turnaround in Sheffield I suppose.

Ignore them - they're talking rubbish. The only reason someone shouldn't have the vaccine is if they've got a medical reason not to.

Meh, mates used to tell me to stay out for another few pints, it will be fine.

 

[Voley]

Happy to report practically no side-effects for me. Bit of a headache this morning so took a couple of paracetamol. Arm a bit tender, nothing else. All good.

I had no side-effects, except painful arm, pretty standard for vaccines. I'm less happy than Voley as when I felt a bit odd yesterday people were saying 'ah, side-effects show you have a good immune system'. I am now convinced that no side effects just shows you have the constitution of an ox .

 

[gentlegreen]

Just had a direct text reminder from the Surgery - making it local again - hopefully offsetting any bad marks in my record for declining a flu jab this year.

 

[gaijingirl]

I got mine a week ago through work. A sore arm for a couple of days but nothing else (Pfizer). My second jab was booked there and then for April. I'm so incredibly grateful. I almost certainly had CV19 over Christmas (whole family got positive results - mine came back inconclusive but I was sick/fever etc too) but it was a pretty light case compared to many people. So I should be pretty damn immune right now. I've also never had any symptoms after flu jabs. I have no idea what this means about my immune system. Is there any science behind the idea that if you get a reaction it means that you have a good immune system?

 

[Voley]

I don't generally have bad reactions to vaccinations. Notable exception being the rabies one: 3 days of feeling like death after that. The second jab was the really horrible one. The others were fine - there were three iirc. Weird.

Had a very odd reaction to a Vitamin B12 jab once: faint, weird breathing, went all sweaty etc. Doctor wasn't sure what happened: they don't bother giving it to me now, just check my levels every year or so.

 

[Voley]

I've never heard of this 'a bad reaction means you've got a good immune system' thing.

Was that the jabs you get after being bitten ?

 

[Voley]

Was that the jabs you get after being bitten ?

Haha. No. There's a few you can get before travelling to areas bad for rabies. They only buy you a bit of time if you get bitten - 24 hrs or so iirc - you've still got to be treated if you get bitten.

They're also really expensive - my GP only twigged it should be costing me a couple of hundred quid or something once I'd had the first jab. Quite lucky to get them for free.

Maybe I will take a chance on that then - someone somewhere thought it would be a good idea if one was moving to France...

A shame I'm estranged from my mother or I might find out if I ever caught measles or mumps as a child as those aren't on my medical record - so MMR is definitely on the cards...
