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

[farmerbarleymow]

Thanks Sue/elbows - it hasn’t got any worse today, just stabilised and looks weird, never experienced anything like that before, so tempting to attribute cause to vaccine but who knows - probably not blood clot related but some other weird side effect - noticed story about a women in her 30’s who had both legs completely covered in these things after AZ and was in wheelchair for weeks, my stuff is very minor in comparison

Definitely worth getting it checked out to be on the safe side. Can you get to A & E or if you don't feel it's that urgent, get a GP appointment?

One of the twenty something bloke at work had his first vaccine and then used it as an excuse to take 2 days off sick at work. I know he didn't get any side effects.

That's the ticket

 

[WouldBe]

Had my second az yesterday, didn't even feel the needle go in. Slight headache and nausea last night but gone this morning.

 

[Dystopiary]

I've got my second AZ jab on Monday. Not looking forward to it very much as the first one was thoroughly unpleasant.

Hope it went ok.

The Yellow Card scheme was listed on the leaflet I got after my first jab, but I guess a lot of people don't bother reading that.

I didnt bother reading it properly

Well there you go.

I read the whole thing, because my first jab was soon after the blood clot issue surfaced.

 

[Olly7]

Just had my first Pfizer, no side effects yet but it's only been an hour and a half.

I'm getting my first one of those too today.

Good luck! Not that you'll need it I'm sure. I'm still feeling perfectly fine and normal, just a tiny bit of an ache in my arm around the spot where I was jabbed.

Ive been booking it and unbooking it for a couple of months now, waiting to be allowed the Pfizer. The rules changed here a few weeks ago so yeah. I don't really know anyone well in rl who's had any jab yet, so unsure what to expect. I'm hoping I'm good cos I had chosen to get it on a Friday so that I had the weekend if I was sick. But now I've got work tomorrow arvo for a few hours so am crossing my fingers. It's not the type of work I can just not turn up to.

I didn't know what one I was going to be getting until I turned up today, but from friends who have also had Pfizer they've all had no side effects.

Plus I just spent an hour playing Wii Sports and still feel fine, so I'm sure you'll be good for work and anything else

How you doing? I'm ten hours in with no side effects or sore arm yet I get the second one in 3 weeks time.

Ok thanks! I woke up at one point and felt a little shivery, but I got a couple of extra hours sleep and that's gone. Still got a sore arm but that's all.

Good to hear you're ok

Just woke up and still all good !

Great stuff! I imagine if you haven't had any side effects by now you should be good. Hopefully the second jab will be the same

anyone experienced dizziness after AZ?

I'm 10 days after second jab and as well as crappy feeling / headaches a lot of the time (i do get migraines as well and it has been a shit week at work) I have noticed slight dizziness / unsteadiness a few times.

Very nearly fell over getting something out of the fridge a few minutes ago...

It probably isn't anything to worry about, but it does sound like you need to call 111, just to be on the safe side.

Call 111 immediately if you get any of these symptoms starting from around 4 days to 4 weeks after being vaccinated:

• a severe headache that is not relieved with painkillers or is getting worse
• a headache that feels worse when you lie down or bend over
• a headache that's unusual for you and occurs with blurred vision, feeling or being sick, problems speaking, weakness, drowsiness or seizures (fits)
• a rash that looks like small bruises or bleeding under the skin
• shortness of breath, chest pain, leg swelling or persistent abdominal (tummy) pain

thanks

i dealt with it in the traditional way of going back to bed for a few hours, and feel a bit less crap now. will seek medical advice if i'm still like this in a few more days

 

[Monkeygrinder's Organ]

24 hours after jab 2 and I seem to be absolutely fine. Nothing beyond a sore arm yesterday which has gone, I did wake up in the night and felt like I was getting aching joints coming on (which I had after jab 1) but I took a couple of paracetamol and was fine this morning. Didn't sleep very well last night so I'm a bit tired but overall no major problems.

Have just noticed that the UK Com-COV heterologous prime-boost study (mixing AZD1222 and BNT162b2) is scheduled to deliver first immunological data later this month (early results were purely announcements concerning safety and reactogenicity).

Results now available - see post #1364 here.

 

[moochedit]

Just had my first jab (oxford az) a few mins ago. Doing the 15 mins wait now.

Just had my second jab. Doing the 15 min wait again.

 

[moochedit]

15 mins is up so i guess my bill gates 5g chip is online now

Had my second jab now so i guess that is service pack 2 installed

 

[Clair De Lune]

I forgot to say that I had my second Pfizer recently and the only side effect was pretty bad fatigue for about 4 days.
I don't really count a sore arm as a side effect.

 

[Yossarian]

Second Pfizer today, not sure if mild fatigue is a side effect from the vaccine or from getting up much earlier than usual to get to the 8am appointment.

 

[sideboob]

I`m off to get my first shot of Pfizer in 2 hours. Due to pre-existing health conditions I can get my jab before the old people, sorry old people
And I`m already scheduled to get my 2nd shot in 3 weeks time. I will update later to let you know if I died or not.
