Sore arm has kicked in tonight after 24hrs. Nothing serious at the moment. Feels like someone’s punched me not very hard.We had the a first dose of AZ yesterday at 4pm. I've put 'no side effects' in the poll but I did get very tired and fell asleep at around 9pm. Just woke up at 3.30am bright and breezy. Other than that, nothing at all.
I was very impressed by the set-up at the vaccination centre which in our case was at Lords cricket ground. It was a very slick operation with a short outside queue that kept moving constantly and plenty of people explaining what to do and where to go. The whole thing took about 15 minutes from joining the queue to leaving the building.

Does whether you had corona or not already make a difference about whether you get bad side effects or not?

Some research was posted recently to suggest that in the phase 3 trials, (I think) that was the case ..
Though in my case, the odds are vanishingly low that I could have caught it...

Yeah I'm really surprised if I haven't had it but it could be possible. I suppose you have to adjust expectations for age too (I'm under the impression side effects might be hitting young people worse?)

Apparently that's why the French are trying to recommend it for the over-55s.
It didn't help me at 60 though - I still had nasty headaches after 5 days and might have phoned 111 if the current advice had pertained then ...
Though my reference for "headache" was cluster and vicious sinusitis, so "moderate" on my scale.
But it was absolutely the norm for me to get laid out by any viral infections I caught (at work in the petri dish) - I never caught "colds" or "sniffles" ...
Incidentally, here's the TWIV team's latest comments on the issue ...

That's is quite an impressive allergic reaction to it!
Hope it goes away and the vaccine is still effective despite the reaction. Apparently, after a reaction like that, a second shot isn't recommended. Unless the reaction is an extreme coincidence. Surely the GP recognised this as a reaction to the vaccine and is having further tests just to be sure? Allergic reactions to vaccines do happen, that's why they ask questions about allergies, but that's not a 100% guarantee that it may not happen to someone who hasn't had an allergic to an injection before.

Well, it's 22 hours since I got my Oxford/AZ chip, so far no side effects.
I'll wait a little longer before voting, just in case I've tempted fate & something hits me later.

Had AZ on Friday. Bit of a sore arm yesterday but nothing else worth mentioning really.

Cool. Can you change your vote to a yes on the other poll though?
Here.
Have you had the vaccine WITH POLL
Crystal Palace is good Maggot but Spymaster is winning in my book with Lords cricket ground. Anyone else had theirs anywhere fancy? I got jabbed at a hospital and a university...which isn't impressive at all. Mine was in a portacabin type thing...

AZ yesterday. Very, very mild dizziness walking home from the doctors (but that could've been lack of coffee tbh). Mildly sore arm, like someone had punched it gently. Feeling a bit tired and under the weather today. But nothing that Is have paid any attention to if I hadn't just had a jab.

OK, almost 30 hours after the Oxford/AZ 5G chip was installed, and no side effects whatsoever, not even a sore arm when I grab around the injection site, I got lucky I guess.

If Mr Peanut says It's okay, then it is.
Had mine dinner time yesterday, got to about 6pm and I was bolloxed. High fever, stabbing pains in all my joints. When my 200 degree arse cheeks sat on the toilet I nearly chattered my teeth out. Finally fell asleep at 2am and woke up at 10am today stuck to the sheets, I was fecking drenched. Got some gardening done late afternoon today so I'd say 24hours before feeling nearly normal again.
I hope the second injection isn't as bad.

This is exactly what I did!!!

Mad isn't it. I literally trawled the kitchen - half a packet of hobnobs, a hot cross bun, bit of cake, a can of ginger beer and one of those snack packs of haribo. Felt a million times better afterwards though

Good news re safety and effectiveness of Astrazeneca. Well worth the shivers and sore arm.

It's a little over 24 hours since I had the AZ vaccine. Not sure if it's related but I was thirsty all evening so had loads of water. I woke up at about 4am in exactly the same state so had to get up and have another glass of water. And again at about 7am when I got up. I do feel a little rough but that might be not sleeping through the night and I do feel a little feverish but again, that might be lack of sleep.
Nothing horrible (so far) but I will have an early night.

I had a raging thirst about 4 hours after mine.
Fingers crossed no more symptoms for you.

Thankfully, I feel almost back to normal today. I had an early night although I still feel a little tired today.

I had similar. I had the jab yesterday and thought I might have got away with it as no reaction at all for the first five or six hours. In fact I was positively chipper at first, bounding along in the sun as I walked home. But didn't sleep well, was a bit sweaty and woke up parched, bit like having a hangover. I'm feeling a bit better now, but arm is very sore.
At least it shows I've got an immune system. Will vote tomorrow.

Interesting advice. It’s what you might say if attempting to counter a nocebo effect with a placebo effect.
Taking it right after the jab is a bit too early to deal with the common muscle and joint aches and pains.

Can't use Excel.
But fear not, I've done it by hand via the medium of dead wasps and the internal organs of a seagull, which my belief system tells me brings good luck with mathematics.
