Hello
Am due my 2nd Pfizer this week. Am nervous as not many people have had it with 12 week interval.
Would anyone who has had it 12 weeks apart be willing to reassure me.
TIA

My housemate did. She had a sore arm both times and no other symptoms.

Currently sitting in the waiting area after having my second dose.

A friend did, she's a doctor hence the early vaccination. As Pp, sore arm but all good.

My mum & dad had 2nd dose 5 weeks apart???

LadyPenelope68 · 11/03/2021 16:28

I’m due mine next week.

Spindelina · 11/03/2021 16:30

Mine was just over ten weeks. First dose I had a sore arm and no other effects; second dose I had a sore arm and also felt a bit rough (shivery / flu-like) for about 24 hours.

TheProvincialLady · 11/03/2021 16:30

I had mine yesterday. My arm is sore but otherwise I’m fine. I felt quite rough after the first one but nothing this time. You’ll be fine.

ILoveWillSmith · 11/03/2021 16:46

I did (NHS worker) As other people, sore arm that's all. My colleague had a bad headache for a few days too.

Furrybootsyecomfy · 11/03/2021 16:48

I have - I felt fine (bit of a sore arm) after the first. After the second I felt rough for about 36 hours but nothing that paracetamol and scowling from under my sofa duvet couldn’t sort out.

Had mine 9 weeks apart. Sore heavy arm for a few days and felt very hot that night, all good now!

TeenMinusTests · 11/03/2021 16:55

DF had his 11 weeks apart. No issues.

pombal · 11/03/2021 17:12

Thanks so much for the replies. Am an HCP but only one of my colleagues has had second dose so far.
I’m a worrier by nature and was really upset when they changed the dosing regime AFTER I’d had the first dose Angry
I understand why, but I might have made different choices had I know that would happen.

Had mine today, exactly 12 weeks from my first. Had a sore arm then and and sore arm again now, fine otherwise.

LeoTimmyandVi · 11/03/2021 17:39

Had mine yesterday - arm sore today, but not as bad as first one. Feel fine in myself!

DamnShesaSexyChick · 11/03/2021 17:44

Had my second one today, not even a sore arm yet.

pombal · 11/03/2021 17:46

Mine was 9 weeks apart.
Just had sore arm and a bit of a headache since then (it’s been 2 days)

Moirarose2021 · 11/03/2021 18:04

10 weeks apart here, absolutely fine.

pombal · 11/03/2021 18:04

After first one I had sore arm, slight headache and felt ‘strange’ for a few days.

I’m just worried that for Pfizer, we are the first to have it at this interval, and it’s a new technology.

This whole year has just been one thing after another to worry about, am drained.

Second dose of Pfizer yesterday, nine weeks apart.
Arm is fine this time but I've had a headache all day.

hairymuffet · 11/03/2021 20:23

11 weeks, had both, nowt but a sore arm

Megan2018 · 11/03/2021 20:25

My Grandma has, she’s 94. She had her first just before Christmas and her second this week. No issues to date.

BlackBrowedAlbatross · 11/03/2021 20:28

I had mine last week, 4 weeks after the first dose. The nurse told me that often the side effects are a bit worse after the second vaccination, but that wasn't the case for me, they were pretty similar, a bit milder if anything (sore arm, tired and on/off headache for a day or so).

Wowzel · 11/03/2021 20:29

I had my second dose today (10 weeks after first) - have a sore arm. Hopefully will feel ok tomorrow, I felt gross after the first one!
