Vaccine

[pinkkoala]

For all those that have had the vaccine or know someone that has, have they had any side effects, minor or major.

Slightly sore arm for about the 24 hours. Otherwise no problem at all

My husband had it (NHS front line and also vulnerable medically). Slightly sore arm but nothing else.

Do any of You know when you get your appointment from nhs whether you can reschedule, as mine has just come through but am struggling as have something else on. The link at the bottom of the email says press to cancel but doesn't say about rebooking

What else do you have on? Unless it’s really important I’d take the vaccine slot, you may not get another for a while!

No side effects at all.
Whether you can change appointments might depend on where you are on the list.
Around here you couldn't change appointments unless you were able to swap with a colleagues, when more vaccines become available it will all get a lot more flexible,

As far as I'm aware rebooking isn't an option at the moment as the hubs don't necessarily know when their next batch will be. I think you can swap a slot with a colleague for earlier/later in tge session but not to a different session

what do you have to do which is more important!! Unless you physically can't get there I really don't know why you wouldn't rearrange heaven and earth to go. If my appointment was at 3am I would go without hesitation.

My sister said she had no side effects at all not even a sore arm.

Take the slot. I don't think this is something you can muck around with. Who knows if you'll get a second chance anytime soon. When my husband got the call he said he'd get back to them - I almost died hearing that. I made him ring straight back and it took a while to get through.

I will be taking the slot was just asking as i do not drive, and its literally just before start of my shift so may be late back for that.
My dp works nights and i am relying on him to get me there, obviously he has agreed to when i told him the time.
I suppose i was panicking about trsnsport issues, but he says just take it else you might not get another one.
So any side effects anyone.

I felt ok for 2 days and then mild fatigue for 3 days and then ok since.

Sore arm here.

I'm pretty tired, but work has been mad for months and I've stopped now I have a few days off so I suspect that's what is causing it rather than the vaccine!

XH has had it (NHS) and had a mildly sore arm later that day but it passed off overnight and no other side effects

He could not reschedule - it was ‘have it now or wait an indeterminate, probably lengthy time because we’re not re-ordering the list’

Sore arm 24 hours, then headache and tired for a couple of days. Know quite a few people who've had it (NHS) and all saying the same.

Dh had a sore arm on the second day, nothing else.

I have mine booked an hour before i start my shift, hoping that i will be ok.
Have most of your side effects kicked in couple days later.

I had mine at 8am today. Nothing til 5pm and now my arm is very sore.

Just a sore arm the following day.

None whatsoever 8days later

My 86 year old neighbour had it about a week ago and she also mentioned a sore arm but that was only for a day or so. Nothing else.

I am at work the same day and day after so just bit worried about the heavy work load, i am hca in care home.

Bit of a sore arm, nothing major.started 6hours after the vaccine basically gone 36 hours later.
