Terrified

[Loo87]

I'm terrified of getting my first vaccine. What side effects did people have with each vaccine?

I had Pfizer for all 3. Bit of a sore arm, and felt a bit tired and headachy for the first one, just the sore arm for the second and third. On the way home from the first vaccine I also felt amazing joy and exhilaration: I was singing in the car. Though I think that was relief to actually be able to do something to reduce my chances of dying, rather than an actual side effect.

I’ve had 2x Astra Zeneca and a Moderna booster. Currently have a sore arm after the booster. My husband has had 3 x moderna and had no side effects at all.

Sore arm. That was it.

What is it you are worried about?

AZ for both vaccines. First one sore arm for a few days, felt jet lagged the day after. Second one felt a bit more tired than usual the next 24 hours.
Haven't been able to get my booster yet.

I had no side effects at all, not even a sore spot, following 3 Oxford AZ jabs.

Sore arm but no other side effects following Pfizer booster.

No one in my family has had any side effects whatsoever.

2 x astra zenica and booster was Pfizer.

Vaccine 1 gave me the worst hang over in history for 24 hours

Vaccine 2 and booster sore arm like with flu jabs but otherwise absolutely fine

First one fine, second and third a bit achey

In short, a hell of a lot better than going through covid unvaccinated!

Well done for deciding to go for it, I promise it’s not as scary as it seems

No side effects from the first Pfizer, a bit of nausea and insomnia from the second. I've not had my booster yet.

I have a little baby and I'm terrified of the side effects of the vaccine. But I know I have to have it rather than the seriousness of catching covid

1st and 2nd Jab - slightly sore arm

Booster - very sore arm

None whatsoever apart from the pain you get with a pin prick:
not for DC and cousins (young adults)
not for DMil (95)
not for DstepM (70)
not for me, DB (almost 60)
not for DSis and DBiL(in their fifities)

oh I forgot Pfizer and Moderna

Ds2 (13) 1st Jab - slightly sore arm

Ds1 (18) 2 x jabs - minimally sore upper arm
Booster - some nausea and tiredness

2 Astra, 1 Pfizer.
No side-effects from the first two, a bit tired for a couple of days after the Pfizer. Also half a day of brain fog after the Pfizer.

For all three I had a slightly stiff arm which lasted less than a day. Nothing else thankfuly. My dh and son were the same x

2 Pfizer 1 Moderna and only side affect was a light headache for 24hrs after Moderna - but could have just been a coincidence

Have had 2 Pfizer so far, had a wee temp first time and a sore arm the second. Getting my booster on wed.

I had Moderna for my first and second dose. I felt unwell for 24hrs after both but symptoms went as quickly as they started.

Even though I felt poorly, I’m still going for my booster next week which will be Pfizer.

You’ve go this @Loo87

AZ 1 - Sore arm
AZ 2 - Nothing

Not had booster yet

How about be terrified of catching covid and realising the seriousness of getting a vaccine instead.

My booster was pfizer
Ds1s was moderna
Dh has had no issues whatsoever, not even a sore arm
My 75 year old mum who has several comorbidities had no effects at all from any of her jabs other than slightly sore arm

None for me and my DH had headache for one day and that was it.Hoping our boosters are the same but better than getting covid

Pfizer for all 3.
Slight sore arm with all 3
Slight temperature with the second.

1st I was sleepy for 1-2 days
2nd and 3rd, arm felt a bit bruised, that was all.

Do you have something calming you can do? Guided meditation? Read?

Had two doses of Pfizer. I had a sore arm each time and was hit with a wave of tiredness around 24 hours after but nothing major.
