Had the Covid vaccine yesterday morning

[BrownEyedGirl80]

And feel shocking.Anyone else?
Anything is better than Covid itself obviously but God I'm in agony.
Aching,hurting body since about 9pm had the shivers for a few hours but they seem to have gone for now.
Anyone else reacted like this? Dh had no reaction at all.

I had mine (AZ) on the Friday lunchtime and was in bed by 9pm, exhausted and freezing cold. Was fine the next morning just felt a bit hungover and my hips were a bit achey. DH felt generally "ropey" after his and very tired. Arm a bit sore but not as sore as after the flu jab.

The only person I know who hasn't had a reaction after the AZ is my boss.

I had my jab 24 hours ago. No side effects at all so far. I had the Oxford.

The doctor who gave me the jab said “and if you’re very unlucky you might have a bit of a fever, but that’s less than 1% of patients” I looked at her because that’s not the odds I’d heard but didn’t challenge her. Lo and behold, nine hours later I was lying under two duvets and a blanket with my teeth chattering. Only lasted about another six hours though and DH wasn’t as ill.

I feel rubbish again after feeling slightly better earlier

Which one did you have? I had Pfizer and was absolutely fine as were everyone I know who had pfizer

A friend had Pfizer and felt crap for a day.

I had Pfizer and was absolutely fine but then I have a suppressed immune system so won't fight back as much as other people (if I've got that right?) which could explain it.

Good Lord, sounds dreadful.

What's the average time it takes for the side effects to start? Had mine this afternoon and I'm thinking it's worth taking paracetamol before I go to bed...

@hellscatspangle I had jab at 10am started around 9pm

I had Oxford astrazeneca

I didn't even have a sore arm when I had mine!

Hope you feel better soon OP.

Mine was AZ too. And I'm youngish and fairly fit.

MY OH was like this too- we both had ours two weeks ago.
He was quite unwell for a day, and under the weather for 2-3 days afterwards.
I had no side effects at all.

I had the astrazenica at 5pm and at 5am I woke up with severe joint pain that sister shift with cocodamol
It lasted just over a week and since then no other issues.

I had the Pfizer last month and had no symptoms. I don't think it's due to my immune system though as I'm rarely ill. I never had morning sickness or period pain either so I must be lucky .

Me. I had the AstraZeneca last Thursday.

Fine during the day but come Thursday night - never felt so unwell. Severe body shakes, started off freezing cold then hyper pyrexial, burning up. Splitting headache.

Had to get DD to school next morning, almost fainted with the effort required.

Came home slept for four hours, woke up for school pick up and felt fine. Fine since.

Will be having the booster - as I've started the process I'll finish it.

But if we ever need yearly jabs...no way. Not doing that again.

A slightly sore arm.....that's it

I had the AstraZeneca vaccine on Saturday morning and been fine, not even a sore arm. I did take some paracetamol on the Sunday evening as I was at work Monday and thought just in case but been okay so far

Yes five days of fever and an abscess at injection site needing antibiotics. Lovely vaccine but still better than COVID

Had one on Sunday. No side effects except for slightly sore arm if I touch the area. But I think I have weak immune system, I heard those with stronger immune system respond worse/fight off aggressively.

@Vintagevixen apparently with AZ the first one is the worst and the second a lot better so I'm hopeful less side effects!

I've also had a bad cough. It says 1 in 10 people get that so...

Had mine Sunday afternoon and spent yesterday freezing cold with the shivers and all my limbs were achy.
Feeling much better today although still have a sore arm.

I fell asleep just hours after it on the couch, but I was ok...

Til the next day I had the mother of all headaches which lasted two days. Day 3 is here and my arm hurts but as long as that headache stays away....

I dosed myself with paracetamol immediately after the jag and every 4 hours after.

Husband was fine though
