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

[elbows]

Yeah the system actually seems to have done a reasonable job in delivering non-AZ vaccines to the under 40's as per the updated UK advice on that, with some spillover to over 40's too if they get lucky and are only just getting round to having their first jab recently (eg me a week ago).

 

[LeytonCatLady]

Had my first on Friday (Pfizer). My upper arm ached slightly until Saturday afternoon but nothing major.

 

[weepiper]

Had the AZ first dose about 1pm. Been fine all day but now sat under a blanket with a hot water bottle and my teeth are actually chattering, it's quite disconcerting

Hopefully better tomoz

that about matches the timescale i got (i got jabbed mid afternoon and was freezing cold round bed time)

if you follow the same path i did, expect to be hot and feverish some time in the early hours...

 

[kabbes]

I have voted for both the kabbess (Pfizer) and myself (AZ). I voted no effects for the kabbess although in truth there was the usual dead arm.

 

[strung out]

I am also voting for my wife who had Moderna this afternoon. There is no Moderna option, but no side effects so far.

...right on cue...

Felt rubbish most of yesterday (hot, sleepy, banging head etc). Better today although my temperature regulation is still a bit off. My shoulder has a big sore swelling where the jag went in and the gland in my armpit is swollen on that side too, and my fingers on that side are a bit painful. Also got a dicky tummy today.

Get better soon, Weepiper!

My g/f (mid 30's) had her 1st pfizer jab on Monday. Nothing to report except a dead arm for a couple of days.

The hilarity of my 'pinch punch 1st of the month' gag was lost on her when I accidentally got the wrong arm.

 

[Epona]

Had 2nd AZ yesterday, am still in the no (or at least very little) side effects Smug Club.

Nurse hit a nerve or something though, the jab itself was utterly excruciating and I'm still in some pain. Shouldn't have googled about it, I now know more than I needed to about injection related injuries (which I should stress are extremely extremely rare). Hopefully it will get better in a few days.

 

[gentlegreen]

although my temperature regulation is still a bit off.

that was the weird one for me. I got caught out more than once - not like normal lurgy.

 

[Flavour]

Had Johnson & Johnson this afternoon, no side effects so far besides sore arm.

No sensation of being fucked from both sides?

You have now made me imagine him doing a clumsy photo op where he personally vaccinates someone with J&J and it is not nice

 

[Epona]

Happy to report shoulder/arm is fine this evening

 

[SpookyFrank]

No sensation of being fucked from both sides?

Side effects may include several years of legal hassle in pursuit of child support payments.

Public service announcement:
Just found out from a friend on Facebook, if you have your second Covid jab booked via the NHS website you are now able to bring your booking forward. I've just done so online and got a slot three weeks earlier.

Thank you. Just booked mine for next Sunday, which is a little over two weeks sooner and will put my interval at 8.5 weeks. Lovely!

 

[Elpenor]

What age? I’m 39 and no option to do this for me. I cancelled and rebooked to investigate

I’m 47. I don’t think you can have it less than eight weeks apart, though.

 

[Elpenor]

It’s still giving me a solid 11 week gap.

 

[Monkeygrinder's Organ]

Just moved mine up from 19th July to 28th June, so an 8 week gap from my first.

 

[kabbes]

The kabbess tried to rebook her second jab from her 12 week gap and managed to obtain an appointment 25 minutes earlier.

 

[Bahnhof Strasse]

We weren't given a date for the second one, just had to wait on a text message, then a friend said we could just book it via the website, so we did, for last Monday. Then we got a text message saying we could have it in mid-June, with a link to reply if you have already booked elsewhere. Really quite efficient. AZ both doses, no side effects at all with 2nd dose

 

[MickiQ]

Eldest Q (33 end of the month), Son Q (just turned 31) and Paddy Q (32 in Sept) have all had their first jab in the past week (Son yesterday), Not spoken to Paddy (or Middle Q) since he got jabbed but Son and Eldest have both had Pfizer and report no side effects. Eldest's husband who is 38 had AZ just over a week ago and apparently to his wife's great amusement felt like absolute shit for 24hrs
This means that the only unvaccinated member of the Midlands branch of the Q clan is 19 year old Youngest.
Spoke to my Mum yesterday and told her that all bar one of her grandchildren are now vaccinated. Mum Q has been done but complained that she was still suffering from arthritis, That's really not how it works Mum

 

[mr steev]

I had my second AZ jab yesterday, with no side-effects this time. I'm a little tired, but that is probably down to lack of sleep. No dizziness or feeling wiped out like the last time. Not even an very achey arm

 

[marty21]

Had my 2nd AV jab this morning, nothing unusual yet , when I had the 1st one , in April, I just slept really well for 2 nights running, that was it. Hoping for the same reaction again.

 

[marty21]

You're not supposed to be drinking for 3 days after the vaccination...

It affects immune response, OH was told not to drink afterwards when he went for his, I am not sure why others are not being told this.

Getting hammered right after you have had it could (from what I have heard) be rendering it less effective.

The jab folk didn't mention drinking when I had my jabs.
