Got second Pfizer this evening at my doctors surgery, doctor said oh your a bleeder and put a plaster on me, bloody hurt as she injected me but my first vaccine did too but no blood that time.
Overthinking it I know!!! but did anyone else bleed as injected?

Yes! The nurse said "Oops!" which was less than reassuring Hmm

Yes, DH is a bleeder, he got a little plaster!

BeaMinus · 25/05/2021 22:44

I had a little plaster. Dh didn't.

LilyPond2 · 25/05/2021 22:58

Another bleeder signing in! (Little plaster, no bandages!)

mrwalkensir · 25/05/2021 23:00

just pot luck if they hit a capillary

DramaAlpaca · 25/05/2021 23:01

I bled too. Just got given some cotton wool to put over it. Also had an impressive bruise afterwards.

Poorlykitten · 25/05/2021 23:08

Yes. She said ‘whoops, that’s not meant to happen!’...instilled me with confidence!

FloraFauna27 · 25/05/2021 23:19

They used two cotton wool balls on me!

DumplingsAndStew · 26/05/2021 00:18

Yes I did and it bloody hurt 😂

MrsTerryPratchett · 26/05/2021 02:16

I always bleed like a stuck pig. DH never does. I'm also a bruisey type.

And I don't get lollipops anymore Sad

I'm a bleeder. It quite took the doctor by surprise.

Felt quite bad given that I was his first jab of the day Grin

RumHoney · 26/05/2021 05:13

I did, I warned them in advance, but still got cotton wool taped to my arm to soak it up.

Monkeybunkey · 26/05/2021 09:32

I had cotton wool taped to my arm as there was "a little blood" according to the jabber. No bruising afterwards though.

Inadaze80 · 26/05/2021 09:44

Yes, I had AZ and bled. Nurse asked if I was on a blood thinner (im not).

Mamadothehump · 26/05/2021 09:51

DH and I had ours together. Nurse did his 1st and said, "Ooh sorry, you've got some blood on your top. You're my 1st bleeder of the day" then gave him a plaster. I then had mine. No blood then but when I got home, I had 4 blood spots on my top. Typically I was wearing white 🤦‍♀️
