Does anyone have any experience of having pfzier booster after Az. I’m wondering if I will be up for much tomorrow or not.

Me! I was dreadful after both AZ jabs but only had a sore arm after my Pfizer booster. Same for DH. Good luck!

annlee3817 · 13/12/2021 14:21

My parents both had AZ, and had the pfizer booster, no side effects at all other than a sore arm, I had Pfizer for all three, booster yesterday and feel like crap today, functional, but still crap

EmmaStone · 13/12/2021 14:22

My arm was a bit sore for 24 hrs, that was it. I've not heard of more than a bit of fatigue - they had an early night and all well again the next day. But that's just my anecdata :)

I was ill for about 24 hours after both AZ jabs. Had Pfizer booster, no symptoms other than a sore arm.

redferrari · 13/12/2021 14:25

Had Pfizer yesterday (Pfizer first time too) and just have a sore arm and am totally fine. Almost forgot I had the jab yesterday!

Nishkin · 13/12/2021 14:26

Sore arm and headache the next day

Yellow85 · 13/12/2021 14:27

Absolutely grand except a horrible taste in my mouth that came on instantly. Apparently a known side affect post covid infection though.

PastMyBestBeforeDate · 13/12/2021 14:28

I wasn't great the day after but I also had my flu jab at the same time. Apparently I shouldn't have done according to my consultant but they hadn't told me.

Incredibly sore arm, to the point I was nearly crying getting dressed and I didn't have the strength to push the switch in for the washing machine or open door handles on one side.

picklemewalnuts · 13/12/2021 14:34

I fainted next day. No reaction to previous two AZ.

My advice- if you feel weird, hot, nauseous... anything really... sit in a big soft chair! I sat at the kitchen table and came to on the floor. I have bruises!

I'd felt fine, just gone to get a coffee. Suddenly nauseous, hot, clammy. Then found myself on the floor.

Mrsbrownsbuoys · 13/12/2021 14:34

I had AZ for the first two and the Pfizer booster yesterday. My arm was very sore last night, struggled to get undressed, couldn't sleep for long, and I've a headache today, but otherwise feel ok.

123fushia · 13/12/2021 14:35

AZ for first two and had phizer booster yesterday. No side effects at all from each one.

Werk · 13/12/2021 14:41

I had Pfizer booster on Thursday after 2 AZs.
I have also had Covid in the intervening time between 2nd jab and booster which might make a difference?
Anyway I had awful headaches with the two AZs lasting 10 days.
This time - headache and fatigue for 3 days. I have tested for Covid, negative, as I felt so bad. Spent all of Saturday in bed. It might be linked or it could just be another virus that floored me.

thelittlestrhino · 13/12/2021 14:47

I had Pfizer after 2xAZ last Wed. Sore arm/swollen lymph nodes in that armpit on Thurs eve/Fri but nothing of note.

thelittlestrhino · 13/12/2021 14:47

@thelittlestrhino

I had Pfizer after 2xAZ last Wed. Sore arm/swollen lymph nodes in that armpit on Thurs eve/Fri but nothing of note.
And I had zero effects from either of the AZ doses
EmmyLake · 13/12/2021 14:48

Two AZs with no side effects, was tired after Pfizer booster but not unmanageably so. DH has a swollen lymph node and a sore arm after his.

123tigger · 13/12/2021 14:49

A headache and bit of fatigue but fine 48 hours later.

SaturdayKitchenDisco · 13/12/2021 14:52

Absolutely fine after both AZ jabs. Had Pfizer for booster on Friday and was completely wiped out all weekend. Mostly fine today though.

YanTanTetheraPetheraPimp · 13/12/2021 14:52

Pfizer arm nothing, flu jab arm a bit sore.

RidingMyBike · 13/12/2021 14:52

Two AZs - first of which had me in bed for two days with fever, feeling hot cold and shivery and generally awful. Second just a bit tired.
Had Pfizer booster on Saturday - sore arm (not painful, just sore) yesterday but it's almost totally better now. Yesterday felt rather tired and shivery so took things fairly easy. Didn't need to go to bed. Just a bit tired today (which TBH probably has more to do with time of year, small child, lots of work).

FleetwoodRaincoat · 13/12/2021 14:54

I had Pfizer after 2 AZ jabs at the same time as my flu jab. Had not side effects, other than a sore arm from the flu vaccine. You'll be fine.

Salamander91 · 13/12/2021 14:56

Me! I had my booster about 9 days ago. I've had lots of mild headaches the past week but I'm not sure if it's a coincidence since its been so long now. Nothing a couple of paracetamol hasn't sorted though.

Rshard · 13/12/2021 14:58

Nothing but a sore arm with AZ, my Pfizer booster has wiped the floor with me. Had it Thursday afternoon and started feeling ill that evening, still feel rubbish.

CovidCurious · 13/12/2021 14:59

Felt exhausted after AZ 1. Nothing to speak of after AZ 2. Sore arm after Pfizer booster (not intolerably so but noticeable every time I moved) and slept very badly for one night. Took it easy the day after the booster because I had planned to anyway, but I probably needn't have done.

ilovesooty · 13/12/2021 15:01

No side effects at all.
