Which jab did you have - Astra Zeneca or Pfizer? And what side effects?

[planetgeli]

This thread is not designed to dissuade anyone from having the jab. Just have the fucking jab.

All I am really interested in is the percentages of people having each jab, and the minor side effects that may or may not be caused.

For the purposes of this thread a sore arm is not a side effect.

Please feel free to post your personal experiences here.

NB: There are two questions in the poll. So, just like a dumbed down English GCSE, you should have two votes/boxes to tick.

Oxford/AZ. Very mild flu like feeling (actually, covid-like feeling), the next day. Got an early night, woke up fine. Achy arm for about a week- ignorable.

 

[wemakeyousoundb]

Mild fluey symptoms yesterday and some body aches as could be expected, all gone by this morning, jab was 47 1/2 hours ago.

 

[killer b]

Mrs B had the AZ, and was quite poorly for 24 hours. Arm was so sore it couldn't be touched.

Hey - science !
Perhaps we should do more of this sort of thing - though there aren't many things that nearly all urbanites are going to be doing.

 

[Winot]

Pfizer and sore arm only.

 

[LDC]

Pfizer/BioNTech. Ticked no side effects as had a headache for a few hours about 20 hours after, but obviously no idea if it was related - although I never get headaches. Also studies show there's a huge psychological/expectation impact with side effects so meh, I dunno.

E2A: Am giving vaccines, and some people seem to be less happy with having the Oxford/AZ one generally, some less good press coverage of its efficacy is the cause I think.

I had the Astra Zeneca and was pretty tired the next day, but I think this had as much to do with the fact that I spent 4 hours outside in the dark and rain in order to earn my vaccine (volunteering at a vaccination centre) as the vaccine itself.

Also I badly wanted to get vaccinated, so let's not underestimate the psychological effect.

So I'm not entirely sure which option to choose, but I'm going to go for none.

 

[Voley]

Pfizer, yesterday. No side effects. Minor 2 paracetamol headache this morning that could've been anything tbh.

It's so scientific we already have three people saying they had Pfizer and four people saying they had Pfizer + no side effects.

MULTIPLE VOTES ARE ALLOWED. Necessary even.

actual lol at the thread title.

it's a quote from one of the other vaccination thread

 

[metalguru]

I had the AstraZeneca... Had a hot and feverish night following that, and for the next day only had what felt like mild flu symptoms ( a bit aching and lethargic).

That was pretty much my experience too although I went really cold first, then woke up sweating after 2 hrs and couldn't get back to sleep. No pain in my arm or anything else.

 

[two sheds]

Had AZ and felt rough the day after. I had however been feeling rough for a couple of weeks before because my asthma was playing up, did feel even shorter of breath the day after but passed off after that. Didn't even get sore arm (why isn't that one of the options so I could say I hadn't had it? )

Eta: neighbour did remark that the side effect could be suggesting that the vaccine is having its effect

 

[planetgeli]

Early indications from the poll (Pfizer 8 jabs + 9 votes on side effects, AZ 7 jabs + 9 votes on side effects) would suggest the AZ jab makes you slightly less able to answer a poll correctly.

 

[two sheds]

or more likely to stick it to the man

 

[nogojones]

Pfizer, with a sore arm for about 24 hours.

 

[weltweit]

I had the Astra Zeneca at 10am this morning, no side effects at all so far.

I was glad it was the AZ vaccine, because it is at cost which is minimal and also because I expect it is more likely to still be available in volume when my 12 weeks are up and I need my second dose. Also in all the testing they did with this vaccine no one was hospitalised with Covid-19. For me this says a lot.

Should have made it public.

 

[mx wcfc]

Pfizer. Sore arm but I don’t count that as a side effect so voted no side effects.

 

[mihaly]

Pfizer- no side effects. Most of my work has had Pfizer too, some with 24 hours of feeling shit, others with nothing but a sore arm.

 

[Cid]

Maybe we should also have a poll on how many people read the opening post on poll threads.

 

[strung out]

Somebody should tag sorearm

 

[Supine]

I really don't like the title. How does saying one is shit help the cause.

It's a humorous quote from ATOMIC SUPLEX in another thread. It's why it is in quotation marks.

I wrote a careful OP to counter that. Or are you another who doesn't read OPs to threads?

I read it thanks

I had first dose of Pfizer just before Christmas.
Slightly sore arm.....then 3 weeks later crazy extreme eczema behind my knees and fatigue. Havent had eczema for over a decade...

My colleague experienced the same and had an extreme psoriasis flare up.

I feel that the fact that the vaccine does not kick in for 21 days or so (unprotected till then) is related. Afaic my body was displaying an immune response which is what is wanted.

Comparing side effects with colleagues dependent on what vaccine they have had (taking into account diversity) it seems as though those that had the astra zeneca had a more extreme response directly after it being administered- flue like symptoms and general roughness for 24 hours.

 

[IC3D]

From what I've heard from colleagues the 2nd AZ one is the worst

 

[farmerbarleymow]

Pfizer, apart from a temporary sore arm, no side effects beyond feeling slightly hot the evening after the injection, and sleeping a bit more than usual.
