Just had the Pfizer. Tell me it was the sensible decision to make. I suffer from anxiety.

I'm 30. No risk factors. Breastfeeding.

With Pfizer, headaches are common and blood clots are extremely rare. So even if you get a headache, unless it lasts for days and days or is an unusually bad headache, no need to even begin to worry that it's a clot.

The other bit of advice would be: drink LOTS of water. Most of us are dehydrated even when we're not getting vaccinated. These vaccines seem to cause more need to drink water. And dehydration can cause headaches.

I’m 31 and I’ve just had my 2nd Pfizer dose. You will be fine.

Well, for any one who's interested, as far as short term side effects go I just got a bit of a sore arm. Was gone by the 48 hour mark.

So glad to hear it!

I had my second Pfizer a week ago. slightly sore arm for 2 days, nothing else.

First dose a few months back had given me a pretty bad headache. Or maybe I just should have avoided alcohol for the first 48 hours post vaccine Hmm
