Could this be reaction to AZ?

[mommybunny]

I had my second AZ jab this past Thursday, and didn’t have much of an immediate reaction bar a sore arm (though I had a fierce headache after the first in March). I went to a restaurant with a friend this evening and as soon as we were seated I started feeling strange, almost like I was coming down with a head cold. I know I don’t have a temperature (the restaurant took it before we were seated) and my senses of taste and smell are fine.

My DCs were just tested in the last day or two for COVID for school and my DH is fully double jabbed. In the last week I’ve been spending all my time at home bar masked trips to supermarket and outdoor beekeeping course (and trip to get the jab).

Since getting home the feeling hasn’t gone away, I don’t feel awful but I don’t feel quite right. Could this be a reaction to the jab, 5 days later, or could it be COVID?

Could it just be the start of a cold?

It’s possible I suppose but I don’t know how I would have gotten it - I don’t know anyone who has had a cold and my family are more out in the world than I am and they don’t have any symptoms.

Colds can be picked up anywhere and very easily.
. Seems more likely than Covid. Or as you say perhaps a reaction to the jab. See how you feel tomorrow, hopefully you’ll sleep it off

You mentioned you don't know anyone with a cold...but you didn't say you knew someone with covid? the vaccine is triggering your immune system so its likely that.
