drewd Posted March 24, 2021 Share Posted March 24, 2021 I had the first AZ jab on Sunday and have had no side effects except a slight soreness in the arm where the injection was given.

IlonaM Posted March 26, 2021 Share Posted March 26, 2021 Interesting article on side effects by James Gallagher, BBC Health and science correspondenthttps://www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-56375307 Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/277644-side-effects-post-vaccine/page/4/#findComment-1500436 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted March 27, 2021 Share Posted March 27, 2021 Thanks for sharing IlonaM - at least somebody from the BBC eventually says that side effects do exist and can be harmful for some, although they may vary enormously. Cases of death or permanent damage are extremely rare. But... when there are chances you can be one of those rare individuals the perspective is quite different. As far as I am concerned at the moment my immune system may be able to kill an army of Coronaviruses and by accident killing me too as I am over stressed with moving house - yes yes yes, that is amazing! no real necessity in doing it now, but it pleases both myself and my live in landlord's love affairs and extended family bubbles, good for him he has found love during the pandemic with a fianc?-carer full of verve! and for myself to since I have found a self contained small flat where I can move around without wearing masks while just heading to the kettle. The last twelve months have been really difficult and I wish everybody else clinically vulnerable and trapped in similar domestic circumstances to be able to find alternative accommodations for the future as the problem is not going away. Meanwhile I have agreed with a hospital consultant and with my GP further investigations into the frequent overreactions of my immune system to some drugs and some food. It is just a simple blood test and although it will not give the definitive answer in relation to when and if getting the Covid vaccine, it can at least help to understand possible side effects later on or how to treat me in case I get a sever Covid infection. Meanwhile I will have an antibodies test with the Gov kit sent by post so that I can make myself and others more aware in case I had asymptomatic Covid in the past. I think I will ask the nurse at my GP practice if he can help as I may not have the courage to prick my finger... has anybody done this yet?

tomdhu Posted April 2, 2021 Share Posted April 2, 2021 I guess you must be in a very small minority, myself and my Boomer friends have had both Pfizer jabs and none of us has had any symptoms whatsoever. My wife and her friends who are quite a bit younger have had the AZ vaccine and none had any symptoms either.

fishbiscuits Posted April 4, 2021 Share Posted April 4, 2021 My mum felt pretty sick after Pfizer. LOTS of people I know felt mildly ill after AZ for 1-2 days. It's no big deal, but something you should probably be prepared for in terms of work, etc. Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/277644-side-effects-post-vaccine/page/4/#findComment-1502406 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cora Posted April 4, 2021 Share Posted April 4, 2021 Yes, I would definitely be prepared to feel rough for a few days - flu symptoms and headaches. I was glad I had been recommended to take paracetamol beforehand but it all passes..

Nigello Posted April 5, 2021 Share Posted April 5, 2021 Bottom line - prepare yourself for a day or two of chills, aches and general zonked-outness and if not, then that's a bonus. (There are those who say that preparing yourself for such, though, heightens the chance you will feel the side effects or even invent them, but take your pick.)

Bic Basher Posted April 12, 2021 Share Posted April 12, 2021 I had AZ on Friday.Initially I started to feel warm with a sore arm, which then turned from going from chills to feeling hot and didn't sleep on Friday night into Saturday.Saturday (Day 2) was the worst with classic mild flu symptoms and all I could do was rest.Sunday started off much like Saturday with continual achy legs, although I no longer felt hot and generally zonked out, but improved by the evening.Today I still felt zonked out, but with the added bonus of hallucinating first thing this morning, I still felt zonked out throughout the day although tonight I feel the most alert since before taking the vaccine.

Penguin68 Posted April 16, 2021 Share Posted April 16, 2021 Had my 2nd AZ jab yesterday - apart from some slight muscular tenderness still at the site, no other side effects (my first had a shaky 4 hours or so with an additional headache on the first morning after the shot).

Applespider Posted April 16, 2021 Share Posted April 16, 2021 Had first Moderna jab on Wednesday morning. A little arm soreness on Weds evening - and on Thursday, it felt like I had done a big arm workout with heavy weights. Not painful enough to stop me doing anything but definitely noticeable when I moved. Today, Friday, it's loosened off again and no other symptoms Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/277644-side-effects-post-vaccine/page/4/#findComment-1505384 Share on other sites More sharing options...
charlottep Posted April 16, 2021 Share Posted April 16, 2021 i had my first AZ jab yesterday at midday. Felt fine all day but woke up at 1:30am this morning with a fever, flu like symptoms, aching all over. Paracetamol has helped a bit but feel totally wiped out today, back and leg pain, fever and chills, groggy. hope tomorrow will be better!

I was under the impression that such exotic treatments were now being reserved for the under 30s or something...

Applespider Posted April 18, 2021 Share Posted April 18, 2021 Sadly not. In the latest batch of over-45s so just booked online. Decided on Guys as it was an easy train ride to London Bridge and I had a couple of things to do in town. And when I arrived, it was Moderna being doled out. I would have accepted any of them! Another friend got hers in Wimbledon on the same day and also got Moderna. But I know two others who got AZ this week. I think it?s very much down to whatever your centre has on the day.

Siduhe Posted April 18, 2021 Share Posted April 18, 2021 I got my first dose of AZ at the Waldron Health Centre at New Cross on Friday. No noticeable side effects other than a splitting headache at about 9am the next day (which isn't something that is usual for me, so may have been connected).

Pugwash Posted April 18, 2021 Share Posted April 18, 2021 When I had my 2nd AZ jab. the nurse who did it asked about side effects (I had none) but mentioned that my daughters aged 35 and 45 both had 2 days of feeling unwell. Nurse was saying that of those who she had seen, was that the 'older' patients 65 plus seem to have a less reaction than younger folk.

elloriac Posted April 19, 2021 Share Posted April 19, 2021 My other half had his first AZ jab on Friday, he had a headache and fatigue, and ached all over, especially on Saturday, but is feeling fine today.

Cyclemonkey Posted April 25, 2021 Share Posted April 25, 2021 I had my first AZ dose yesterday afternoon. By the evening I felt tired and a little nauseous. Over night I had aching legs and back, headache, woke at 2am really really cold and then at 4am I was feverish and sweating buckets. Now feeling a bit washed out and tired but otherwise fine.

mancity68 Posted April 25, 2021 Share Posted April 25, 2021 My mid 40s brother had Moderna. Gave him a bit of a reaction at the jab site, large hot red patch still there after e days and flu type symptoms 24 hours after later. Still managed to go to work but crashed out as soon as he could!
