I had my first jab a week ago and felt lousy a few days after - like I was coming down wjth something and headache. A week later I feel exactly the same. I have already had Covid last March so as a 45 year old woman I'm wondering if this is normal? Feel very hot and dizzy and generally unwell. No energy and fatigue.

I had my second Pfizer yesterday and feel hideous. However the nurse was very clear that if you have a headache lasting more than four days after the jab you should seek medical attention. Hope you feel better soon!

With Pfizer it is normally the second dose that has bad side effects. Though only around 1 in 4 people still.

From the surveys of people given Pfizer those that get side effects s can sometimes have them for 6 to 9 days. Most people however only have side effects for up to 48 hours though.

Hope you feel better soon ❤

Apparently people who've had covid have more reaction to the vaccines

My face has also really flared up with worsening rosacea. 😳

I am better now a week on but had similar side effects so was starting to worry. I’m now worried about my second one.
I had headaches felt so shattered, couldn’t concentrate and my face also hurt and my eye did too.
Settled after a week but I’m still worrying now

@nicenicenice. I'd speak to a pharmacist. You'll get good advice there.
