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

[magneze]

Parents both got 2nd Pfizer yesterday. It's a bit of a weight off the mind, especially for my mum who needs an operation in the next couple of weeks.

I had my second Pfizer jab today. This ones the third but had a proper gap unlike the previous one so it’s really the second. I feel a bit odd but am ok. I expect calls from vexed staff trying to work out what’s gone on/wrong.

Mum reports that she feels tired after 2nd Pfizer jab today. Arm hurting up to her shoulder. She couldn't care less though, she's currently watering the garden singing along to The Cure.

24 hours on from first AZ jab, happy to report that I am in the "had a great night's sleep and feel really healthy" group rather than the dire monkey-sweats group.

OH was really ill for 36 hours after his - proper took to his bed feeling like he had flu, so I was expecting similar.

I put no side effects, I did have really bad tinnitus for about 12 hours, it's not on the info sheet but when OH got that as his first symptom I looked it up and apparently it is widely anecdotally reported. But other than that I slept like a log and feel great today, my arm isn't even sore

Had a rough night. Chils and aching and throwing up amongst other horrible effects. Paracetamol should put a dent into it.

1 day 23 hours and 50 minutes on from first dose of AZ, I have declared myself side effect free.
My arm is a little tender to the touch, and I have had a mild headache yesterday morning, and for a brief moment last night I thought I had this "oh I have got a cold coming on"-feeling.
Under normal circumstances, I don't think I would have really noticed any of this, that's why I would call it no side effects.

 

[tony.c]

49 hours on from second Pfizer jab and no side effects apart from slight sensitivity to pressure at injection site.

 

[scifisam]

Had my second jab on Friday and this time the effects were merely being sleepier than usual, which is nothing really

 

[farmerbarleymow]

Had the second Pfizer yesterday. Nothing significant to report so far - arm is less sore than the first one, and I slept well last night with some odd dreams.

 

[sojourner]

The fella had his second AZ yesterday at 2.30. We were really hoping that he wouldn't get any side effects this time, but unfortunately he did Nowhere near as bad as last time, but enough that he was really rough with the shivers again, and fluey with a fever, and had to take the day off today. Gutted cos this means I'll almost certainly get fucking side effects again.

 

[farmerbarleymow]

planetgeli can you do another poll for first and second doses please, so we get the full picture of vaccination coverage?

 

[waxoyl]

Had the AZ vaccine 3 Weeks ago now, still getting headaches only mild ones, paracetamol don't seem to work. massive appetite.

I don't want to worry you, but you should speak to your GP about that.

Furthermore anybody with new onset of severe or persistent headache that does not respond to simple painkillers starting four days or more after vaccination should speak to their doctor.

MHRA issues new advice, concluding a possible link between COVID-19 Vaccine AstraZeneca and extremely rare, unlikely to occur blood clots

Vaccine roll-out to the over 40s starting this week.

Chris Hopson, the chief executive of NHS Providers, which represents NHS trusts, said:

It is an incredible achievement that more than 32 million people have received their first vaccine, with over 7 million receiving their second jab.
While there is still a way to go with our vaccination programme, we welcome the progress being made, with the jabs due to be rolled out to the over-40s this week and all priority groups now offered a first dose.

Yes, definitely worth getting medical advice waxoyl - it's likely nothing at all, but worth a chat with the doctor for peace of mind.

Good. Make sure you do mate. I reported my vile 12 hour headache with vomiting on the Yellow Card scheme, cos it was so much worse than what seem to be normal side effects.
