Hi I had the jab (first one) yesterday have a sore arm and intense fatigue. Anyone felt really off afterwards? And how soon after the jab?

My friend has had both jabs, sore arm after first jab, advised that flu symptoms/fatigue are common after second jab apparently.

Yes I had really sore arm and felt very tired, went off after about 24 hours. Colleagues have told me worse after the second, but I think it really varies. I just took paras and went to bed. A friend had to take ibruprofen for 3 days and had raised lymph glands and felt fluey but with her second one felt fine ! Hope you feel ok .

I had a bit of a headache the day after. There's another thread somewhere about this.

I feel nauseous, painful arm, a bit 'off. Some colleagues had temps and were sick the night after.

After the first jab I felt ill for about five days, I had a terrible headache, aching limbs and felt nauseous.
I have had my second jab today and my arm is very sore and I feel slightly sick at the moment! Waiting to see what tomorrow brings!

My grandmother (91) had the vaccine on the 23rd of December and is due her second one on Wednesday. She suffered from fatigue quite badly after the first one, it lasted about 4 days. She’s still going ahead with the second as a few days of fatigue is better than suffering from COVID (her words)

Had mine this morning.My arm feels very bruised,it woke me up.
I got home at 11am and fell asleep on the sofa for 4 hrs,early to bed as still tired but now keep waking when I roll on to my arm.
This is the first time I have ever had any side effects from a vaccine.
