How did you feel after 2nd AZ jab?

136 replies

Waveafterwaveslowlydrifting · 03/06/2021 13:37

I had a moderate reaction to the first one. Exhaustion, sore arm, dizzy, generally unwell. Stayed in bed the next day

If you've have your 2nd was your reaction the same as to your first jab or different?

Wondering whether to plan anything for the day after.

Fine, just as I was after the first one.

DidgeDoolittle · 03/06/2021 13:40

I was a unwell for 24 hours with the first one. No reaction at all to the second. Same for 3 or 4 other people I know who had the AZ vaccine.

1st AZ - felt rough for 48 hours - aches, chills, bad head etc etc. had to take to my bed.
2nd AZ - just the same! I feel really short changed as everyone I know either had no reaction or only 1 😭😭

Aching bones and tiredness after the 1st.
Low level headache, nausea and the shits after the 2nd.

I felt rough for about a week after the first one
Just a sore arm after the 2nd

1st- 24 hours of feeling a bit fluey but lemsip helped
2nd - slight upset stomach the next morning for an hour or so but might not be linked.
Says here AZ tends to be less symptoms second time

Cold, headachey, tired after the first. Mild headache and a little spaced out after the second, perfectly manageable though.

kirinm · 03/06/2021 14:04

Zero symptoms after the second one. First one I had headaches for a few days and a sore arm.

CeibaTree · 03/06/2021 14:05

I was fine but I was so hungry for the following two days and I ovulated 4 days later than usual that month. I had no side effects after the first one apart from a slightly sore arm.

blahblahblah321 · 03/06/2021 14:06

1st jab - hideous

2nd jab - headache , but wasn't 100% anyway so impossible to know if the headache was caused by the jab

SirVixofVixHall · 03/06/2021 14:08

I had mine yesterday. I feel worse than expected, a headache which I didn’t have the first time, nausea, everything hurts.
After the first one I felt fluey for a week.

CraftyGin · 03/06/2021 14:10

Felt rubbish after my first. Absolutely fine after the second, which was two days ago.

LifeinPieces21 · 03/06/2021 14:20

The first one I felt rubbish for a day, second one I felt nothing.

FijiCavanaugh · 03/06/2021 14:57

First one slight fever and exhaustion for a day after. Second one (2 days ago) sore arm for a day and slight muzziness the day after. Been struggling to sleep but thats likely the heat.

Sadless · 03/06/2021 15:04

I was ill with the first but nothing with the second not even a sore arm this time.

AnneLovesGilbert · 03/06/2021 15:10

1st one no symptoms at all. Like it hadn’t happened.
2nd one exhausted, napped loads, splitting headache that day and night, tired and sort of viral the second day, nothing third or since.

Dumbledoresgirl · 03/06/2021 15:10

1st jab, I was ill for about 48 hours, aches, chills, on off headache, tiredness, bit of nausea, etc. Felt ropey for another 48 hours. Had a sore arm and developed a skin rash near the injection site which lasted about a week, soreness a bit longer.

2nd jab, instant sore arm but it went after about 12 hours. No rash. Had the aching, chills and on off headache next day for about 12 hours. Ropey and tired for a day or so afterwards.

I did feel short changed to have any symptoms at all after the 2nd jab as I was led to believe there would be none, but looking back, it wasn't as bad as first time around.

Kollywobble · 03/06/2021 15:17

1st vaccine - aching all over and pounding headache for 24 hours, sore arm for a week.
2nd vaccine - no symptoms whatsoever, not even any tenderness around the injection site.

beguilingeyes · 03/06/2021 15:18

Sore arm and felt a bit hot after the first one. Felt a bit rubbish for a day after the second one..then it was fine.

I'm one of the rare people whose second was worse..most people are the other wat round. My husband got nothing for either jab.

MistyMargaret · 03/06/2021 15:20

1st AZ - ill in bed for a week
2nd AZ - slightly achy arm for a day or two.
(I have underlying conditions.)

TheMostHappy · 03/06/2021 16:32

I felt worse but for a shorter amount of time than I did with the first one.

ViperAtTheGatesOfDawn · 03/06/2021 16:48

First one: sore arm (muscle pain) for about a week, about an hour of fever/chills, and about 24 hours of fatigue
Second one: sore arm with some inflammation around jab site, went after 3 days, and maybe a little bit more tired than usual for a days.
