Side effects of Oxford jab

[PusheenLove]

I had the jab at 4pm yesterday. Felt totally fine. Thought I was one of the lucky ones.

Woke up at midnight with a pounding headache, fever, chills, aching all over. This is still happening now

Anyone relate?

Yes, very similar. Had jab 4pm on Saturday and woke up at 3.30am Sunday morning with temp, chills, aching etc. Felt rough off and on all day Sunday but woke up feeling fine today so fingers crossed it’s short lived for you too!

Yes to the headache. Skull crushing and pins and needles. It faded away after a few days. Hope you feel better soon.

Oh and report symptoms to the yellow card scheme:

Thanks for the solidarity. Very reassuring

Not me (haven't had it yet) but my husband.

He had his jab on Saturday morning, was fine for most of the day but headache and shivery in the late evening and night. He slept for 9 hours, which is unheard of.

Better yesterday, but not 100%. This morning almost completely back to normal.

My dad had the Oxford jab, aches and pains, headache and tiredness last a good couple of days for him. But they did slowly ease of through that two days. He was fine by day 3.

I had similar with Pfizer but didn’t last long and were very mild.

As someone who is lucky to get 3-4 hours I'd probably take the headache and shivering if it meant sleeping 9 hours!

Also my arm feels like it's going to fall off
