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

[planetgeli]

Had the AZ last Saturday and felt fine except for some slight numbness in my hand, and a feeling of extreme tiredness for about 48 hours.

And you're another who voted no on this poll

Have you had the vaccine WITH POLL

Partner and Stepdad both booked in for jabs this weekend (1st and 2nd, respectively) now. That light at the end of the tunnel is getting brighter. :oldthumbsup: OH had 1st Astra-Zeneca jab yesterday and feels a bit wonky this morning. Nothing major, just a bit knackered and says food tastes a...

And can now vote YES!

Exciting!

Was SinoVac'd today, no real side-effects so far, besides a very slight arm ache.

 

[wayward bob]

had az on monday at a vaccination centre. extensive bumpf about side effects including blood clotting risks, also mentioned in the chat. prominent signs that they only do az and you can't choose anything else. no side effects

 

[flypanam]

Woke up this morning, feel good. voted.

 

[Brainaddict]

I'm recovered today, got off pretty lightly really - just a day and a half of feeling a bit woozy. I'll fill out the poll for now but I'm aware that side-effects can strike up to several weeks after.

feeling a bit woozy.

That's me right now. Had my first AZ yesterday.

Have answered some mails, countersigned a contract now I'm off back to bed for a bit.

 

[not a trot]

2nd dose of Pfizer booked for next Thursday. Wife had 2nd dose of Astra yesterday.

 

[Clair De Lune]

Officially no side effects for pfizer apart from slight fatigue ..but TBF that could be unrelated. My arm was sore till last night but fine now. Pretty impressed and guess what? My mam saw how well I looked and has agreed she will have the pfizer if it's offered. Phew.

 

[FridgeMagnet]

I seem to be ok now. That was the AZ on Monday morning, bit crap Monday afternoon and Tuesday morning, really crap Tuesday afternoon and Wednesday (exhaustion, dizziness, some minor aches/chills/headache but no fever), vaguely fuzzy this morning but nothing too odd. I've put it down as "48 hours" on the poll.

looked again at the work thing that was baffling me entirely Monday/Tuesday and fixed it in like fifteen minutes

 

[IC3D]

Moderna last Friday. Arm felt like I was hit by a bat, thought I got away with it but have been wiped out for last 3 days.

 

[Clair De Lune]

My brain keeps thinking 'i have pfizer guilt' like survivor guilt

 

[Wilf]

Me too! I almost never finish a whole pizza as it's too much dough for me but I steamed through one last night. Woke up starving.

I duly reported my 'slightly ropey achiness' with the AZ, but I definitely felt hungry as well! Didn't both mentioning it as it seemed a bit random.

While we're on nice round numbers in the poll.

Pfizer
No side effects 58%
Effects < 48 hours 35%
Longer 7%

(sample = 60)

AZ
No side effects 26%
Effects < 48 hours 62%
Longer 12%

(sample = 100)

Compared to that ^

Now.

Pfizer
No side effects 60%
Effects < 48 hours 34%
Longer 6%

(sample = 73)

AZ
No side effects 26%
Effects < 48 hours 57%
Longer 17%

(sample = 152)


As the jabbed supposedly get younger, and are almost exclusively AZ jabbed, the % for longer side effects has risen significantly from 12-17%. The no side effects figure has remained constant.

Hale and hearty this morning

So far my only side effect is being unusually hungry (AZ this morning). if that carries on my cunning plan of having enough food in the house in case i get unwell will be ruined cos i'll eat it all today.

 

[Aladdin]

Finally got called for Pfizer vaccine next week.
Mixed emotions.

Finally got called for Pfizer vaccine next week.
Mixed emotions.

I can understand why from whats gone on. Had mine last week only because of a specific family member who needs support.
Still feel pretty pft about it.

 

[Brainaddict]

I might have given my response too soon. I've had long covid all year and am finally recovering. Last couple of days have felt a bit of setback in terms of my energy levels - guess we'll have to see how long it lasts.

 

[bimble]

I’m really hungry too.

I have basically been snacking the whole time since the vaccine this morning and now i'm making dinner, at 5pm. If this is a side effect its good, i am not great at eating food usually.
Also feel very sleepy but that could well just be my natural state after a long-feeling week. Maybe if i go to bed really early i can sleep through any crapper symptoms.

 

[bimble]

so really suddenly, between 5 and 6 pm yesterday, from feeling fine i got all the symptoms of a nasty flu (muscle aches & shivering with fever), seriously rough, and now it's gone, so 12 hours of that. I just feel sort of wtf and weak now, a bit dazed, but its all stopped, that was intense but short.

I didn't count it as a side effect here, but there is evidence on the what are you having for tea thread that the night I had my AZ vaccine and possibly the night after too I gorged myself stupid on large meals plus extra chips plus junk food (crisps, biscuits, caramel bars) - hollow feeling almost like prednisolone effects. It was the opposite of what OH experienced, he barely ate for 2 days and felt nauseous and fluey.

 

[Steel Icarus]

Just been and had my AZ jab. Have voted according; will change if/when side effects occur.

 

[PursuedByBears]

Just had the AZ jab in a community centre over the county line in N Yorks. Impressively well organized.

 

[wemakeyousoundb]

ex had the AZ yesterday down in rayleigh, feeling like she has a flu today, very well organised, in one door and out the other in about 5 minutes.
She has a needle phonia and told the vaccinator not to tell her anything till after it was done, and it was done already (guessing the needle phobia and anxiety might be flagged up on their notes?)
e2a: she only read the side effect leaflet after the onset.

 

[Steel Icarus]

As the afternoon has turned to evening I've become physically fatigued - not massively but enough that normal moving around the house takes effort. Arm now aching. Various aches and twinges in various muscles of my legs. Mentally fine, physically slow.

 

[Steel Icarus]

Feverish night, I was very hot and woke up every hour or so. Kept dreaming of a "uploaded" bar of how much the vaccine was working lol.
Arm batters this morning, things ache, I wouldn't be able to.make it from car to desk so I'm stopping at home.

Sorry to hear you had a bad night. Your dream sounds fascinating however! Wonderful way for your sleeping self to accommodate what had happened that day!

It was frustrating! I'm almost trying to "enjoy" these side effects as it means my immune system is doing what it's supposed to.

Getting side effects does not mean the vaccine is working better or that your immune system is reacting to it better. If that was the case, then 60%+ of people who get the vaccine and do not get side effects are not protected. It's more like my OH cannot have a glass of milk without getting the rampant shits and I can chug a pint with no ill effect.

 

[PursuedByBears]

I woke up at 5am with a sore arm and Heroin by the Velvet Underground playing on a loop in my head. Just walked the boy to school and feel mildly stoned. I'm wfh and have no meetings or deadlines today so I'm going to sit down quietly and read my book this morning Stll planning to go out on my bike at lunchtime but this may be a shorter and less hilly ride than usual.
