Have you had "the jab"? Tell us your symptoms

Hope you bounce back quickly ... weekend tomorrow - east coast weather supposed to be feral - stay in bed and rest up

Sounds better than getting the flu - and a lot better than getting Covid. Many a year I'd have "colds" but only once have ever had the full on proper Flu - OMG - 10 years ago and still remember it vividly - a week spent literally crawling between bed and the bathroom - between burning up while lying on cold tiles to shivering under boiling water - eventually made it to the docs with the simple request of "kill me"

 

Yes, hope the same for any who get nasty, but usually temporary, side effects.

I want a time machine so I can bring forward dose 2 +14 to today instead of waiting 27 days.

 

Thanks Lizzie.

Bed will be my best buddy this weekend.

 

Just to add to to the sharing:

My 85yo father had his 2nd AZ this week, at 8 weeks after the first (he brought it forward from the original 12 week appointment). The first dose made him quite unwell for about 24 hours, then back to normal; the second dose had no side effects. Good on him.

I've had full Pfizer, mid May & Early June.

This morning I had a serum and swab test, as required for travel to China. Got a call tonight from SA Health following up on the serum test results as apparently I've have a very strong immune response for COVID. They wanted to know if I'd been vaccinated (or infected). They also wanted to know the batch number of the vaccine - must have been the good stuff!

So that's and big GO TEAM for the Pfizer and AZ vaccinations from me and my old Dad.

 

First astra yesterday. Chills and muscle pain over night feeling light headed today like I'm hangover.

 

Apart from myself is anyone else suffering from vaccination envy?

 

Treat it like a hangover - water, sleep, panadol and take it easy for a day or two

 

Had AZ in May and June, lucky no side effects so far and serum levels look good but will retest again soon to make sure as I had the jabs pretty close together and well under the advised age bracket.

 

This is by far the funniest scene of the whole movie... especially the cough-spew tune !!!!

 

I got the AZ 2 months ago….. waiting waiting waiting for the second dose. 4 weeks to go! The first night I got mild belly cramps and I farted A LOT (or maybe that was the bean burrito I ate before hand???). Anyway, next day I woke up with headache, achy muscles, fatigued and foggy brain but it was nothing that a dose of Panadol didn’t fix within an hour. Sore arm persisted for a week. Second dose of AZ is supposed to be (almost) side effect free.

 

I got AZ before people in my age group got "banned" from having it. I was told beforehand to really relax my arm before the injection. I had no side effects at all except for feeling a bit tired the afternoon of the day after. It is very normal for me to feel tired in the afternoon, so I have no proof it was a side effect.

Pro tip, relax your arm

 

Daughter (40s) had her second Pfizer last week. Absolutely no side effects.
Her husband had his second Pfizer yesterday - sore arm and headache so far.

 

No jab, no symptoms. Looking good so far.

 

Second AZ yesterday, no after effects. Like Wylie I felt mildly 'off' on the morning after my first jab.

 

On my first AZ had chills at night. But initially I thought it was the cold weather (Brissie dropped to 8C that night) and I usually have all windows open and just a throw on me. Later released it’s the jab. Chills would come and go. Woke up perfectly fine. Went to work and was fine (other than having 2 coffees. I usually stop at 1 coffee but felt the need for a kick).

On second. Nothing. Almost suspected the nurse missed my arm.

 

Wouldn’t that me funny if they missed your arm

 

Yep. I want my money back
