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

[ATOMIC SUPLEX]

2nd Vaccine yesterday. Sweaty night, feel like shit this morning. Felt a bit weird last night before bed, kept passing out (sleep style, but not in what felt like a normal way).
Some of this could of course be to do with/impacted by recent surgery.

 

[skyscraper101]

Moderna. Morning after, no side effects. Just the tender arm.

OH had his 2nd AZ jab first thing yesterday morning (very well organised vaccination clinic in Stratford Westfield).

What with the 36 hour misery following his 1st jab, we were expecting similar but he's been absolutely fine this time - even managed to pick up a night shift last night, which would have been impossible after his 1st.

 

[Wilf]

If the side effects are the bodies reaction to the vaccine then for the 2nd dose the body is now used to the vaccine so it doesn't react as much.

The other good thing is the AZ blood clot risk just about disappears when it comes to the 2nd jab.

less (fewer?)

How come there are so many votes. There aren't that many regular posters are there?

Anyway feel fine, slightly sore arm but that's it.

e2a ignore that, I misread.

There's more than you think. On the first vaccine poll there are now 338 voters.

Have you had the vaccine WITH POLL

We had some discussion about drinking after the jab, the MHRA doesn't think there's a problem with it. There is no evidence that drinking alcohol after a Covid-19 vaccine interferes with how it works, a UK regulator has said. The Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) was...

With a few more to come. With the odd exception (one has been banned, maybe a couple are 'unfamiliar' names) I think that's a pretty good record of the number of (fairly) regular posters there are at Urban.

First one today at 11am. AZ. Arm hurts a bit and a shooting pain sensation down to my fingers whenever I got into a bit of a typing rhythm on the keyboard once I returned to work. Other than that. Ok. So far. Will vote after 48 hours.

2nd AZ today, weirdly they asked me to sit in the waiting room for 15 minutes after stabbing me.

That’s standard practice, not weird

 

[wemakeyousoundb]

That’s standard practice, not weird

It wasn't when I had the first jab though only for the poshos with the Pfizer one, so weird to me.

 

[cybershot]

That’s standard practice, not weird

I had 1st AZ today and didn’t need to sit and wait. Only if you’re driving apparently.

 

[Orang Utan]

I had to sit for fifteen after both (Pfizer)

Still not weird. Just sensible

 

[Voley]

Feeling a bit groggy/headachey now after 2nd Pfizer this lunchtime. Paracetamol taken, I'll want an early night I think.

Feels a bit like a hangover, I've just realised. I really don't miss them one bit.

 

[8ball]

Yeah, Pfizer has a higher chance of scary allergic reactions shortly after the jab. Where I had the jab they were doing the 15 min rule for everyone but you could escape early if it was AZ.

 

[Voley]

15 min waits for everyone at my GP's. Everyone getting Pfizer afaik.

I felt the same the day after my second Pfizer. Bit of a headache and yes, felt kind of hungover. Was right as the rain the next day, apart from the injection site being a little bit sore. Hopefully you're the same.

Thanks. Yeah, if my first jab was anything to go by, a good night's sleep should sort it.

 

[cupid_stunt]

Yes it is weird for the AZ jab, normal for the Pfizer jab, but not for AZ.

 

[two sheds]

I was told 15 minute wait for AZ only if you're driving

 

[cupid_stunt]

That's 15 minutes advice before driving, so you can go & sit in your car, no official requirement to sit in the waiting room, that only applies to the Pfizer jab.

 

[Epona]

I always sit and wait for 15 minutes in the waiting area after any vaccination (not just COVID) because I have other severe allergies and it is most definitely advisable in my case to hang around where there are medical staff just in case.

 

[cybershot]

Pretty much had every common symptom since 5pm. I feel fucking awful. Paracetamol no effect until a second dose about 40 mins ago sooner than I’m supposed too, double dose of 500mg. (So now up to 2000mg para since 5pm)

Now in bed with a hot water bottle because I’m freezing and a thermal beanie hat.

See you in the morning. I’m going to sleep.

Good luck, I had a 10am jab, and was woken up by a nasty headache the next morning but three pints of tea sorted it then I was fine.

 

[Dystopiary]

Had first jab (Pfizer) a few weeks ago. The jab was easy and quick. Had to sit down for 15 mins afterwards.
Felt a bit ill for a few days after.

hope you feel better soon

Adults are more likely to report mild and moderate side-effects after mixing doses of the AstraZeneca and Pfizer Covid vaccines, a study indicates.

Chills, headaches and muscle pain were reported more frequently when different vaccine doses were combined.

Any adverse reactions were short lived, with no other safety concerns.

"It's a really intriguing finding and not something we were necessarily expecting," Prof Matthew Snape, from the Oxford Vaccine Group said.

Covid vaccines: Mixing increases reports of mild side-effects

Researchers are still analysing whether injecting two different vaccines leads to better protection.

Well, yes. The chills turned into the sweats now lying with a cold wet cloth over my forehead.

Terrible nights sleep. The paracetamol wears off after about 3 hours which ain’t great.

Basically feel like I have flu. I guess if I’d had covid it would really have knocked me off my feet if the vaccine is doing this.

No work today. That’s a certain and teams can fuck off off my phone.

Up nice an early (as usual ) with a banging headache (unusual ) but thought to actually take paracetemol and ibruprofen (why not both) and feel pretty much fine now. Got to wait until 0845 to call in sick, as have primed manager and colleagues already Then a full day of (work qualification related) essay writing, while carefully keeping any work-related active with a green dot progs closed ☠

I am going to hold off on voting in this poll until I have gone through 48 hours+ so my data is correct.

I'm alright, I think! Arm slightly sore but the headache and aches have gone Now I need to remember to book my next one

 

[5t3IIa]

Oh, has there been a consensus on voting vis a vis two votes - one for I had AZ and one for I had AZ and [etc]? planetgeli
