which of the following best describes your experience?

  1. You had no side effects.
  2. You had side effects, but are no longer experiencing any side effects.
  3. You are still experiencing side effects.

I know there have been lots of threads about side effects, but am hoping to create one where it's quick to pick out whether people are talking about very short-term side effects or something that lasted longer. If you're a 3, would be interesting to know which vaccine, your age, and whether you have a pre-existing medical condition which you think might have affected your body's response to the vaccine.

2 - Pfizer, Didn’t even feel the injection, extremely sore arm 12 hours later for about 24 hours.

Second jab- very painful injection, lots of blood-mildly sore arm, fever for 24 hours.

@Lisalisaandcultjam it's more the fuzzy head that's bothering me and I had a migraine on friday I had no side effects whatsoever after my jab until all this my kids are back in school but I started feeling like this on monday and they only went back that day so i dont myself see it being a bug I just wish there were clear answers but as it's so new there isnt
Thing is if it is the vaccine not much we can do just ride it out I have read it can take 22 days for side effects before you reach immunity but again dont know how true that is

2 - Pfizer. Very sore arm for a few days (like I'd been hit with a hammer!) and it is still a bit tender now, 3 weeks later. No other side effects that I've noticed.

2/3
AZ
Very ill with chills fever headache starting 10 hours after I had it. Lasted all night and started feeling better following eve, then felt a bit off the following day. Day 3 completely ok.
18 days later a night of killer headache and aches/tiredness followed by 2 'off days'. Then back to normal. Killer headache was same as when I had covid and the vaccine.

I have had mild vaccine reactions before... and I have a food allergy. I am prone to bad fevers/chills so think I have a strongly reactive immune system.

This is by far the worse I've had. I don't want to put people off. I wasn't keen to have it anyway and now not keen to have a 2nd. If you're at risk you should, but as I'm not I'm wondering why I bothered.
