Oxford vaccine side effect still bad on day 5

[Newdreams]

Hi

i Had oxford vaccine on saturday morning by evening had chills and vomitted couple of times. Temp went up to 40.3 been taking ibruprofen and cocodomol on advive from gp. I was offered it as a carer and was so excited to have it but today is day 5 and temp currently 39.1 been on round the clock meds but feel so rough. injection site swollen and very tender can not liff arm up properly. I feel shakey and shivery just dont know what to do was hoping would have been over the worst of it by now. Has anyone been through similar. and if so what helped?
TIA

Have you done a Covid test?. That seems like a very high temperature for a vaccine reaction if you are sure you don't have Covid, maybe speak to your GP if the symptoms don't improve tomorrow.

I am going to be vaccinated on Friday so can't share my experience of side effects yet

Have you had a covid test? Although it could well be side effects I think people who have side effects which go on a long time should have a test to rule out that they didn’t coincidentally develop covid at the same time as having the vaccine.

sorry i should have said when spoke to dr on Monday he suggested doing covid test which thankfully came back negative. I also havent been able to sleep since the vaccine like im so tired but my eyes are wide awake. i never react to vaccines like this but feel so rough. im dreading the next dose.

This thread about how long side effects lasted might help

My mum had chills about a week after the vaccine and is stil experiencing a lot of pain in her shoulder/arm, 2 and a half weeks later. She can't lift with it and it wakes her up at night. Slightly worried that it doesn't seem to be getting better.

Oh no hope she feels better soon i feel like that at the moment the site is so red and tender hurts even when clothes brush against it.
