Concerned about being ill again with side effects.
Felt really ill after 1st AZ, had to go to bed, but nothing after 2nd.
Has anyone then had a Pfizer and had side effects ?

Following. Had 2 doses AstraZeneca and felt truly awful after both. Booster due in a few weeks (presumably Pfizer) but very, very reluctant to have ☹️

My dad did. Bit fluey after the first AZ but fine after the second one. No side effects after his Pfizer booster.

borntobequiet · 24/10/2021 15:30

Me. A little unwell after first AZ, no effects after the second - went to work as normal - no effects after the Pfizer booster.

mynameiscalypso · 24/10/2021 15:32

My dad did; no side effects whatsoever. I've had three Pfizer now and the reaction has been milder every time. Barely even a sore arm with my third.

FadedRed · 24/10/2021 15:37

I’ve had 2x Astra Zeneca and had a Pfizer as a booster last week. Hardly any reaction from any of them, just a bit of a tender spot around the injection site for a day or two.

hashbrownsandwich · 24/10/2021 15:38

I had AZ for first two, was due a booster (frontline healthcare worker) but got covid so going to wait it out now and see how it goes!

WhatsitWiggle · 24/10/2021 15:39

Felt flu-like after first AZ, nothing after second AZ or Pfizer apart from tenderness around injection site.

Toasty280 · 24/10/2021 15:39

I had the same, 24 hours of near death experience, (ok feeling bad and a bit flu like) , after the first AZ, nothing after the second. Had my Pfizer booster on Friday, slightly stiff arm but no other problems.
trappedsincesundaymorn · 24/10/2021 15:48

Me. I had a terrible time after both AZ jabs and nothing but a slightly sore arm after the Pfizer.

ifonly4 · 24/10/2021 15:55

I have. I had a very minor headache on waking the next morning, but it cleared after breakfast with no need for painkillers.

TheTurn0fTheScrew · 24/10/2021 16:01

I have. No side effects whatsoever with AZ x2, achy arm with the Pfizer booster.

bonzo77 · 24/10/2021 16:17

Me. Really unwell after first AZ dose. Absolutely nothing after second. Pfizer on Friday just gone, no problems except my arm a bit sore.

charityshopchangingbag · 24/10/2021 16:29

Had two doses of Novavax (trial vaccine, still stuck in approval process) last autumn. No side effects other than a stiff arm.

Had a pzifer in August and felt shocking for about a week - you could have put £1000 in my front garden and I wouldn't have had the energy to get out of bed for it.

I dreaded the second pzifer dose and thankfully had no major side effects this time around.

PastMyBestBeforeDate · 24/10/2021 16:54

Felt ropey after first AZ and had a very sore arm but was fine after the 2nd. Had my Pfizer and flu jabs together and felt very tired the next day but then fine.

LuluJakey1 · 24/10/2021 16:55

Me - had just a sore arm for 24hrs where the needle went in with all 3 injections.

Catlitterqueen · 24/10/2021 17:04

Had 1st AZ and was fluey for 24hrs, fine with 2nd. Booster made me feel rough as in aching and tired but this only lasted a day then I felt fine.

SpindelWhorl · 24/10/2021 18:02

I've had two AZ and a Pfizer as my 3rd primary a couple of days ago.

I think the nurse hit a blood vessel because I have a cracking bruise around the injection site. It's strangely stippled and DP says it is turning into an image of a penis. He's very uncouth. Although possibly correct.

Apart from having a gentleman's member on my shoulder, I feel fine.

Davros · 24/10/2021 20:15

2 AZ then Pfizer. I'm CEV. No problems, not even sore arm with any of them

DottyHarmer · 24/10/2021 20:20

1st AZ - felt awful - being sick, flu feeling for three days
2nd AZ - felt a bit achey for a day
3rd Pfizer - a bit shivery and then fine after a paracetamol

ImAbsolutelyTwatted · 24/10/2021 20:23

I had 2x AZ then Pfizer booster 2 weeks ago. I was ill for 3 days after my 1st AZ vaccine (was bed-bound), no side effects with the 2nd. Pfizer booster I had a really sore and hot arm plus headaches for two days. Paracetamol sorted me out and I've felt fine since.

Cervicalflop · 24/10/2021 20:25

Had AZ for 1st and 2nd jab, felt like death after the first one and fine after the second.

Had Pfizer booster last week, felt fine for a few hours then had a slightly sore arm at the injection site. Went to work the next day felt sluggish but managed to work the whole day. Got home and felt achy and shivery. Was fine the following morning.

Gizmo98765 · 24/10/2021 20:29

Yes had AZ felt dreadful chills aches fatigue headaches etc, headaches fatigue and v sore arm with 2nd AZ, pfizer for 3rd jab and but only mild fatigue and slight headache on day 1 otherwise a complete doddle compared to AZ.

Hecates · 24/10/2021 20:30

Me, I had the same reaction as you to the AZ. I had the Pfizer on Thursday and nothing but a tender area on my arm.
