Astra Zeneca one?

People are only posting about their side effects, I would like to know if many people don't experience any?

I had mine 10 days and no side effects. May have been a bit tired on the Sat but honestly nothing, not even a sore arm. I'm 55 and don't think I've had it if that helps - Covid that is!

I’m the ninth of my friends to get it, and I was the only one with any side effects. MIL & FIL were both absolutely fine too.

Me,
My arm hurt a bit when I raised it to take my sweet her off but that's all

soontobeanana · 13/03/2021 18:21

Me - had vaccine 2 weeks ago, No side effects. May have had Covid last April.

Unreasonabubble · 13/03/2021 18:21

Absolutely none whatsoever and had mine Thursday.

OppsUpsSide · 13/03/2021 18:21

DM had a red arm, DF had nothing.

I had phizer and my arm was a little bit saw for a few hours.

NoBetterthanSheShouldBe · 13/03/2021 18:21

Me, five days ago. Nothing whatsoever, don’t even know exactly where the needle went in.

OppsUpsSide · 13/03/2021 18:21

*sore

Whattherapy2020 · 13/03/2021 18:21

I had mine 27th Feb. I had no side effects whatsoever. Not even a sore arm.
Don't think I've had Covid. Pretty sure I'd be dead if I had as I am in lots of risk categories.

Scarby9 · 13/03/2021 18:24

Literally everyone I know - and I know lots and lots of people who have had their first and several who have had their second - except for a few slightly sore arms, one hot arm, three tired the next day and one slight headache ( but that might have been the Zoom wine club the same evening).

I've got my first next week and am hoping to keep up the tradition.

All good to know!

All of my family and friends are moving into the eligible group now and not one of them has had any side effects. Isn't it around 10% who do ?

Global stats exist now so canvassing a few mumsnetters isn't the best way to find the actual data

Lauren83 · 13/03/2021 18:30

I had none, and I had Covid the month before which I have heard can often make side affects worse

tillytoodles1 · 13/03/2021 18:38

Apart from feeling a bit tired today, I've had no side effects at all.

TheFallenMadonna · 13/03/2021 18:39

Just a sore arm.

Zebra100 · 13/03/2021 18:39

No side affects at all.

HazeyJaneII · 13/03/2021 18:40

I had a bit of a sore arm and that was it.

MirandaWest · 13/03/2021 18:40

My dad had the vaccine at the beginning of February and didn’t have any symptoms at all.

HolmeH · 13/03/2021 18:40

Both parents & MIL - sore arm only. All in their 60’s.

RedRosie · 13/03/2021 18:42

Me (maybe a momentary tiredness but I went to work as usual). And my very elderly parents (nothing, not even a sore arm between them). My DH had full on ManFlu though Smile.

HoollyWugger · 13/03/2021 18:43

Maybe a bit headachey for a couple of hours, and arm slightly sore (but could still lie on it). I had the Pfizer.

boymum9 · 13/03/2021 18:45

My mum (60) and grandmother (87) both had AstraZeneca and had no side effects.

FishWithoutABike · 13/03/2021 18:46

I didn’t have any side effects.

NoGoodPunsLeft · 13/03/2021 18:48

My mum & stepdad didn't, both felt a bit tired on the day but felt fine the next day (stepdad had a nap afterwards & felt fine)

NoGoodPunsLeft · 13/03/2021 18:48

Both AZ
