Delayed reaction to vaccine?

44 replies

Lampface · 28/02/2022 16:45

Has anyone else had a delayed reaction to their first vaccine? Only just got jabbed after recovering from a major injury. Was fine over the weekend but this afternoon (3 days after my vaccine) I'm starting to feel all the common side effects. Is this normal? Thanks.

Which side effects do you mean?

JanglyBeads · 28/02/2022 16:53

It's more likely you have Covid tbh.

That would be ironic, I can't leave my house due to my injury (had the team visit) so the only people I've seen face to face in the last few months other than DP are the two people who came to vaccinate me!

Yup, sounds much more like Covid than the vaccine. Have you done a lateral flow? And has DH?

Just taken them, both negative, but it was a lateral flow and I know they can be a bit tricky!

No it sounds more like a reaction to the vaccine, I know people who had delayed reactions like this.

As in an allergic reaction?!

3 days is not a big delay so yes, it is fine. take a paracetamol and you'll feel better soon.

THEDEACON · 28/02/2022 17:55

Sounds like your immune system working after vaccine

Suzyinthesummertime · 28/02/2022 18:24

I know people who had symptoms like you describe, also someone with a reactivation of shingles and another who had a blood clot shortly afterwards

Cookerhood · 28/02/2022 18:55

Allergic reactions tend to be within 15 minutes

boogiebogie · 28/02/2022 21:01

That will make the op feel much better Suzy... Could be a reaction. Most are mild but if worried or extreme do get it checked out.

Suzyinthesummertime · 28/02/2022 21:05

@boogiebogie Does she want the truth or lies??

Do you have a source for that assertion @Suzyinthesummertime , because I'bmve not seen that anywhere?

Cookerhood · 28/02/2022 23:01

@Suzyinthesummertime

Cardiac arrests and heart conditions have also dramatically increased since the rollout of the vaccines. I don't like it either but fact
Rubbish

I've had a delayed case of hives all over my body 9 days after my Moderna booster. 12 hours after it I had standard fever, chills, muscle ache but over a week later, had hives for the first time. It's itchy, burning and has lasted 3 days so far. The Gp suggested antihistamines but doesn't think it's jab related...however, he also can't explain why I have it so suddenly. It's even on my scalp and large welts all over my entire body. It's bad enough that I'm constantly uncomfortable. I have no allergies or hay fever and haven't come into contact or eaten anything not part of my daily routine.

But I've reported it to the yellow card scheme. Apparently it's being investigated to have a delayed reaction to the moderna vaccines and skin rashes/hives are one of them.

I really hope this is not a long term side effect I need to manage with daily antihistamines.

Oh so because you've not seen it anywhere it's not true? Wtf! There's plenty of evidence out there!
Suzyinthesummertime · 01/03/2022 02:22

@Cookerhood- sadly not

Crack on and provide it then please, that's how the burden of proof works. And nothing from YouTube either...

@Suzyinthesummertime

aka I don't have any evidence but don't want to admit it

If you're going to make claims like that you need to provide

  1. Evidence that "cardiac arrests and complications" have actually "dramatically increased" - I don't actually think this is true. You're claiming this is happening worldwide? Just the UK? In all demographics?
  2. If this is actually the case, evidence that it is causally linked to the coronavirus vaccines rather than some other factor such pandemic restrictions, coronavirus infection etc. Correlation =/= causation and all that.
ThingThatIBring · 01/03/2022 10:32

My understanding is that what @Suzyinthesummertime about increases in cardiovascular deaths (including in younger people) is absolutely true - this is reported in publicly available official data.

What's not clear is why this has happened. Being cooped up inside for months during lockdowns, putting on weight and not seeing medical professionals? Increased waiting lists for care? Covid itself? The jabs? It's certainly possible that the jabs are contributing (and there are known mechanisms via which they might be), but we don't know that, and there are lots of other potential factors.
