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

[CosmikRoger]

Not bloody likely, the Savoie Libre mob are all just a load of freemen of the land types who don't want to pay taxes.
There is the occasionnel bit of seperatist graffiti, and the odd twat or two who have car number plates with a flag of Savoie and SE in place of the Eu flag and F like everyone else does, but it's not taken seriously by many and when you see such a number plate you know that the driver ain't worth taking to

So 6 days after my second Pfizer jab and I'm pleased to say I have not developed any eczema, just been slightly itchy and that seems to have gone.

So 6 days after my second Pfizer jab and I'm pleased to say I have not developed any eczema, just been slightly itchy and that seems to have gone.

I had The Shit One and had the predicted aches and yuckiness which have begun to subside now. Started with an itch last night that was so strong it bordered on sciatic pain (back of the leg but not quite in the right area). It was quite an odd feeling, but I didn't think anything about it at the time. May have been the vaccine, though just as easily a random itch I suppose.

I have had two Pfizer jabs ten days apart. Should not have happened but I ignored the obvious cock up and rolled up and got the second jab. I had adverse reactions but nothing lasting unless I can blame my MH issues on this. I feel much safer.

 

[TopCat]

I had fever and chills and shivers and throwing up. It was worst after the first jab and milder after the second.

However itching is a known immune response and your description sounds somewhat beyond a random itch. I think it's an indicator that it's getting to work. I'd be concerned if I had no side effects tbh.

Yeah, I get numbness and other odd sensations due to a thyroid thing and some nerve damage, but this was still a 'what the fuck was that' kind of itch. But as you say, a 'good itch'.

Just got my first Astra.... Half an hour early, walked in and I was out in 4 min... Rapid ID check.... check for next of kin, and allergy questions then needle in and theres the door.
Military personnel in a sports centre....

Nicely done

Zero side effects it seems

The Baroness had the Pfizer one and two weeks later developed a massive scaly rash over her back and arms.

She had to go to the Docs and get steroid cream for it. It's taken about ten days to go down.

I've got photos but don't want to put them up in case they leak into the wider domain. They're pretty nasty.

I hope that lack of side-effects persists

But from what people have been posting, I'd give it more time ...... how are you today?

 

[planetgeli]

Two sisters-in-law both had AZ yesterday (Walthamstow and Hackney). Hackney lass is basically fine, just felt a bit weird in bed. Walthamstow lass up all night "crying and dying".

In strange coincidence news my partner (their sister) is having hers this afternoon.

 

[Wilf]

Did you get your jab William of Walworth ? You mentioned you hadn't had the letter a while back iiirc.

Jabs have slowed down across the UK over the last couple of weeks, due to a drop in supplies, which is about to be corrected, my SiL's team have been told that they will be doubling the daily number of jabs given at her vaccination centre over the next couple of weeks.

Over the past three weeks, the number of daily Covid-19 vaccines administered plummeted by 40% but this has picked up again as the Welsh Government presses ahead with ambitious plans for rolling out second jabs.

As expected, the vaccination rollout in Wales slowed sharply as a result of a planned UK-wide drop in the number of coronavirus vaccinations produced but this is now set to be reversed.

It is anticipated that Wales will speed up the vaccine roll out with 30,000 doses per day from next week thanks to an increase in supplies.

Had the AZ jab on . . . Wednesday

To call it "pain" on the injection site is a little bit dramatic, but I was aware of where I'd been stuck for a lot longer than, say, my usual flu injection. As per my usual flu jab for the next 6 or so hours I experienced a rather nice "just coming up on a pill" sensation

By evening I was still aware of the injection site and felt like going to bed even earlier than I usual go to bed, took a couple of paracetamols . . . slept well

Next day (yesterday) started the day feeling very "sensitive" to any clothing I was wearing, pain on injection site had gone, two more paracetamols, still felt sensitive to clothing and was, lethargic, but that could just be my normal furlough state, as the day went on started feeling chilled, sensitivity remained / worsened - more paracetamols, eventually threw the towel in and went to bed 7'ish and crawled under the duvet with extra layer on that, slept through until this morning (5 - usual time to be awake)

Awoke this morning feeling much better, no injection site pain, clothes don't feel "scratchy", feeling a normal temperature

All in all, if that's all the "side effects" I get, I am a very happy camper

 

[gentlegreen]

That's a new angle for the AZ - though it didn't go as far as a Pfizer-type allergic reaction ...
In contrast to my OTT feverish response, two weeks on and I'm only aware of the injection site if I gently tap the area - whereas with the flu jab I had in 2019, I could feel a persistent small "bruise" even without touching (if I remember correctly) ....

Still no advance on 5 for us more-than 48 hour peeps...

 

[StoneRoad]

I think totally unrelated to having had my first jab [14 days] but yesterday late afternoon I started to feel very low in my spirits and abnormally tired, which got somewhat worse as the evening progressed. Same thing has happened several times during the past few week, but this was the most noticeable version. Ended up having an early-ish night, slept fairly well and feel as good as I did yesterday morning, maybe slightly better as there was some sunshine earlier ...

I had the Oxford/AstraZeneca vaccine at 17.00 on Wednesday at Superdrug, where there is no cold storage for Pfizer. Straight in, routine questions, painless jab, I then had to wait in a screened area for 15 minutes as I had driven there alone.
No discomfort other than the arm feeling heavy. Woke at 10.00 yesterday, went back to bed after an hour for another nap and slept soundly until 15.45, then a mad rush to leave for work at 16.00. I was a bit hot and irritable, and struggling to stay awake when I was there. Temperature normally 36.4, was 37.1 when I got home at 21.30 but back to normal this morning. Second appointment booked for 23 May.

Presumably this is not unconnected with the start of the second jabs for the Pfizer 1 oldies breaking about now?

not really, that's more of a coincidence.

the real supply issue was that Pfizer had reduced production temporarily, so they could re-arrange their facilities to significantly increase output.

 

[hipipol]

Got Phizzered up yesterday - bit of arm ache last night, feebler today, nowhere near as bad a Cholera or Yellow Fever - made joke with one of the Helpers that I wanted the RAF jab, she say never heard of it, me Per Ardua ad Astra motto of the RAF. No smiles. Oh well.......

 

[han]

24 hrs after my AZ jab I feel tired and a bit achy, but nothing worse. Fingers crossed that'll be it.

 

[Numbers]

Had the AZ at 8:30 this morning, arm was sore immediately and still is, as I said on the other thread my whole arm now feels just shy of a dead arm, weirdly my nose started running after about 15 mins, now my head is burning up and I have a headache coming on.

Missus Numbers had the AZ y/day and is fine.

Ooh good luck that doesn't sound a great start, so quickly.

And thanks for the vote btw.
