Vaccine side effects for 12-15yr olds

[Flossie44]

What can they expect to feel after the vaccine?
I had AZ and felt terrible after the first vaccine, and fine after the second.

My two dc (vulnerable 12-15 age group) are being vaccinated on Thursday. It’s Pfizer. What side effects will they feel in the couple of days after?

I've had both doses of Pfizer. First dose I had a headache for two days. Second dose I just had a sore arm for two or three days after. My OH just had a sore arm for a day on both doses of Pfizer.

Has both doses of Pfizer, both times just had a sore arm for 24h. That was it.

Will children feel side effects worse?

Had a very sore arm, with quite painful burning including my hand for 24 hours. Didn’t even notice the 2nd one. My sister was the opposite, no problems at all with her first but was bed bound with fever, chills and headache for 2 days after her second.

My 13 year old has already been vaccinated due to her health condition. I was really worried but she had absolutely no side effects at all other than a sore arm for a few hours.

It was a dilemma but now a huge relief to me that she's now vaccinated as already loads of cases at her school.

DS(16) had his and only had a sore arm

MY DS (16) and 3 of his friends all had Pfizer - no side effects at all.

Everyone reacts differently
DD had sore arm round jab point at first dose, slightly raised temp after second.

My DS who is 13 had zero side effects. He had a sore arm for a very short period of time - not even a whole day!

16 year old had a sore arm the day after. That’s it.

2nd dose I had fatigue for a couple of days.

My two teens had zero.

I had sickness but my twenty year old was fine with first Pfizer and had a few shivers in the night with second but was fine next day.
