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

[gentlegreen]

gentlegreen : ALL of the above strongly points to you needing to phone your GP!

Nah I'm fine now.
It's just that my sinusitis wasn't giving me headaches like that before.

 

[gentlegreen]

Presumably, unfortunate though it may seem, at your vaccination venue. The vaccine could have given you the standard 48 hours of side effects, with some other kind of respiratory (probably) virus kicking in after a fairly standard 48 to 72 hour incubation. I think you said as well your symptoms changed qualitatively on day 3? Anyway - all only speculation of course.

I double masked - and the place was light and airy - and they called me in early because the traffic was so low
Viruses have always floored me for days - and this illustrates that there's a massive overshoot.
I've been inactive for 4 months and I've been on an 800kcal deficit for 6 weeks so perhaps that was a factor.

Over 12 hours since I had my second dose of Pfizer- tender arm and slept like a log...same as Badgers!

My anxiety re public transport is reducing.......

 

[felixthecat]

Me and my mum both had the Pfizer - no side effects.
Daughter, sister and niece all AZ with very sore arms, nothing else

 

[editor]

I had the Pfizer.

Had it first thing in the morning, very achy arm by the end of the day. The following day was just like when I had Covid: terrible aches all over, shivers, intermittent temp, generally felt shite. Went to bed early and sweated/shivered through the night.

That's pretty much the experience I had on the AZ one. I seem almost back to normal today but so I'm going to try for a walk and see how long I last!

So...."Oxford. Is that the shit one?"

Results so far with percentages (because poll doesn't handle % so well).

Pfizer no side effects 29/45 (64.4%)
Pfizer side effects <48hrs 14/45 (31.1%)
Pfizer side effects >48hrs 2/45(4.4%)

AZ no side effects 8/35 (22.9%)
AZ side effects <48hrs 22/35 (62.9%)
AZ side effects >48hrs 5/35 (14.3%)

Ok, so I felt kinda cold last night (had to use my second duvet) but that may have been due to me having the window open again. I woke up today with a fairly sore shoulder. Nothing killer but kinda bruised. Almost like if you got smacked hard in the arm but it was a few days ago. A much bigger ouch when i tried to lift my arm above shoulder level. Now have slight ache in the shoulder. Bit like slightly pulled muscle. It is spreading down my arm a bit as I type.
Noting seriously painful. More like just overdoing it at the gym a day or so ago.

I am maybe more sleepy than usual but I always have a fucked up sleep pattern so that might just be background me-ness.

Coming up to 48 hour. Arm still a little sore. The pain is maybe a little less sharp than yesterday.
Did have an epic liein. got up for about 10min at around nine then went back to be until just a bit ago.
Also maybe a bit more sensitive to the cold.

2nd vaccine booked 2nd April

I have voted Pfizer + no side effects.
I had it yesterday afternoon and whilst I'm really tired I often am because of medication.
Arm is pretty sore when I move it or press it but it's not really bothering me.

 

[8ball]

Yeah, I’d have voted for that too, but they gave me the AZ one and I had the side effects.

 

[moomoo]

Pfizer and no side effects whatsoever. Didn’t even feel the needle go in.

 

[deeyo]

astra. occupation. had it friday. think i was more tired than usual yesterday and a little bit sore in the arm still. nothing worth mentioning really. i'll vote no side-effects.

Have you had the vaccine WITH POLL

Thanks LynnDoyleCooper and 8ball I sort of feel a little bit heavy headed/swimmy but it's quite pleasant and mild. It's probably just me, I didn't have much sleep last night and I'm buzzing with happiness of having got jabbed so I suppose it's that combination. Only other symptom is my arm is a...

Can you tick yes in that one too please deeyo ...glad it went well for you.

 

[tony.c]

I had the Pfizer. Hardly felt injection. No side effects except for a little achy at injection site for about 48 hours, but only really when pressed on (when taking blood pressure).

 

[Roseygirl]

Not had mine yet, slightly older than me, my mate and her husband had their first dose last Sunday, she just said she had arm pain but is still tired a week later

 

[kalidarkone]

So have begun to notice having really itchy legs and back of the knees. Developed the worst eczema I've ever had and first attack for over a decade 3 weeks after the first jab. So will keep an eye out.

No delayed action on that front with the AZ - there must be something particular about those lipid nano particles - apart from asking me if I drove there, there was no 15 minute wait afterwards ...

nanobots? This explains it all

 

[Shippou-Sensei]

Ok so at this point apart from a tiny bit of a bruised feeling in my upper arm everything seems alright. The feeling of having pulled a muscle was fairly much gone by sunday.
Will leave it a bit before voting incase anything pops up but I'm tempted to vote no effects because apart from the sore arm i'm not sure if anything else was actually caused by the jab.

Off topic, and yet also a bit related, I'm off for the second dose of my MMR vaccine today! Hopefully I won't be offered my second Pfizer dose this week as need to leave 7 days between vaccines.

I need to get that myself - how's it going so far?
I'm leaving it until next year when I'm hoping to be fighting fit.

 

[pinkmonkey]

Had the AZ at 5.30 last night. Had to go to bed at 9. Felt so tired. I’m still in bed now. Earlier this morning I felt like someone had replaced my blood with cement.Everything ached and was stiff. I took an Ibuprofen and now I’ve had a tea I feel nowhere near as rough and might even get out of bed.

I got called in by my work occupational health as they noticed I hadn't had it when they were reviewing vaccinations for everyone. Had my first dose then this second is 3 months after that. First was fine, no effects beyond a normal slightly sore arm for maybe a day maximum.

 

[Wilf]

Just had it. NO BISCUITS.

Wow. Are people meant to get it if they precede MMR or just if they're in a frontline healthcare role? (I had all the jabs that were standard in the 70s/80s but still managed to get mumps and measles. .)

AFAIK it's just for frontline healthcare, at least that's what the OH doctor said, apparently it's recently changed guidance. I had the standard vaccinations as a kid but was born before the MMR was brought in, which I think was 1988 or thereabouts.

 

[gentlegreen]

I'm getting mine for completeness.
I have no idea if I had measles or mumps as a child and with unvaccinated kids around, I don't want to catch it in later life ...

I think everyone on here must be pre-MMR.

From what I can tell the MMR jab was introduced in the UK in 1988 so most posters wouldn't have had it as kids. You'll have antibodies to mumps and measles though which is good.

I'm considered to be someone with a severe learning difficulty by some - therefore, I was expecting a lollipop. Did not get a lollipop.
But, I am feeling much better this aft, the side effects didn't last long.
