Astra Zeneca vaccine- has anyone had 'brain fog'?

Hi all,

I had my AZ vaccine on Sunday morning. I've felt really fluey (pretty sure that's not a word!) since then and have pretty much been exhausted and nauseous since.
This morning I feel less fluey, but I have major brain fog. Has anyone else felt like this?

I checked the information I was given at my appointment and also the NHS website, so I know that symptoms can last for a week, but I've not heard of anyone else mentioning brain fog as a possible side effect.

Has anyone else felt like this? Disclaimer- even though I have felt awful, it's still well worth it and I don't regret getting it).

I didn't, but I've definitely been more forgetful and foggy this year generally, gradually increasing. Saw an article the other day about it being a common effect of the stress we are under. So possibly it's a "crap pandemic" thing, rather than a jab side effect?

I felt quite groggy and assumed was part of the overall exhausted feeling I had for a few days.

My boss and also a close friend described exactly this, took 4/5 days to pass.

Yes. Me too.

Hit a crescendo 3-5 days post jab then eased after that. Still a bit headachey but can think straight at last!
