Blood type and side effects of vaccine?

[RedToothBrush]

Just a quick straw poll as we've been having this discussion at home and wondered if there might be something in it.

What blood type are you?
Did you get a lot of side effects from the vaccine?
Which vaccine did you have?

AB +, Astra Zeneca, sore arm for a day or two. Nothing else. 60s.

B+ Pfizer 1st dose: sore arm and slight fever, fatigue (possibly just laziness and melodrama)

I'm intrigued by how many AB blood groups there are on here - 18 at 108 posts. I'm sure it's only 3% of the UK population.

AB+, AZ vaccine. Very achy, shivery, shaky 12 hours after jab. Tired and fluey next day (would have taken leave if a work day). Sore arm for next week but not an issue.

@Floobydo

Hmmm interesting theory.

O-, AZ and literally zero side effects, not even a sore arm.

Same here.

B+
AZ
Very tired and groggy the next day but that was it.

Me,Astra Zenika vaccine, blood group A+ no side effects, just tingly arm.

Husband AZ, blood group O no side affects on day, headache next day.

Me - A+ Vaccine AZ and I had fever, body aches, sneezing and very sore arm in the evening after the the vaccine and it lasted 2 good days

Blood group A-. 1st Pfizer no symptoms apart from a sore arm. 2nd vaccine - Fever, chills, nausea, swelling in lymph nodes.

AB negative. Had the AZ vaccine and flu like symptoms symptoms 24 hours. I think I may have had Covid last year. I'm in my early 40s.

Me - AB+ Mid 40s had AZ. Fine day 1 apart from heart skipping a few beats in the evening. From next day very sore arm, had migraine with nausea for a few days, period was a week late and my boobs were very sore.Generally tired a few weeks on.

DH O+ early 50s AZ - felt he was coming down with a cold that evening, fine next day but has been v tired for about a week. ( He had it later than me due to my job).

Incidentally is there a higher proportion of AB+ on this thread than would be usual or am I just looking out for them?

O- blood type. I had chills, followed by headache, lack of appetite, exhaustion and muscular aching all over.

A+ Astra Zeneca. Terrible headache and pain in face that went on for over three days. Not had second dose, but hoping it doesn't recur

Oops! Forgot to say I had AZ vaccine.

Given that the most common blood group is O+ it's incredible how that's suddenly the rarest on this quick straw poll.

B+ pfizer just a sore arm.

B+ I had AZ felt awful the day after like I had flu took the day off sick and spent it in bed. Had a sore arm for over a week.

O negative - sore arm for 2 weeks. No other symptoms.

O+
AZ
Chills and flu-like symptoms the next day and really tired and sore arm for a few days.

A
AZ vaccine

Dizzy headache tired lethargic. LAsted 3.5 days

B - had AZ and after about 10 hours felt rough for about 36 hours (flu type symptoms) and then back to normal. Arm still a bit painful 3 weeks on.

AB+ AZ first dose.No sore arm. Headachy and nauseuous for 24 hours. Fine after.

DH 0- AZ first dose. Very fluey and shivery for 48 hours plus extremely sore arm.

Both early 50s.

I think O blood group is most common in the whole world, but not necessarily in the UK? As an examole, nearly the whole of Latin America is 0.

O+ AZ no reaction whatsoever

Do you think people are lying about their bloody type? Why on Earth would they do that?

Or have I misinterpreted your comment?

DP: O+ AZ sore arm
