Pitzer booster jab - feel awful

[Mondui]

I have had 2 x Astra Zeneca jabs felt awful after first and ok after second . Had pitzer booster on Saturday feel awful , really drained , sore arm and aching armpit on side of injection anyone else had this

We all had Covid March 2020, really quite unwell.

DH and 2 x AZ, rough after first, bit woozy after second

DC16 2 x Pfizer (CEV) tired/sore arm after first, really washed out and sore arm after second

DCs14+12 1 x Pfizer -both fine other than sore arm

We are very very lucky though as despite scares we have not caught Covid again despite DCs entire friendship groups catching it and then being last ones standing.

I suggest if having Covid before being jabbed helps immunity? Works love if anyone knows

Dreading the boosters though

Interesting. I had Pfizer booster last Thursday (after AZ originally) and I was so tired, it was unreal. I felt like I hadn't slept in days. Lasted just over 24 hours.

Also had a very sore arm for 2 days - presume it was the Pfizer arm (had the flu jab in the other). Nothing like the sore arm after the swine flu jab years ago, though.

Yup, I had flu + Pfizer booster at the same time and felt very off for a couple of days.

Ooh @SpookyScarySkeletons that makes sense, we all had cough/temp/aches/headaches/lost ell and taste.

I then had Covid fingers/toes and DH and I both breathless for many weeks.

That's so interesting, thanks

Me too. I had 2 x Jansen jabs earlier this year (on a trial). Absolutely nothing.
1 x Pfizer jab last week and completely floored for 24 hours.

Not me, but my DM had her booster recently and is not well with it again. She was ill for about a week after her 1st jab, 2nd jab , ill for about 4 days. She has had covid too and was very poorly with that.
She was not actually sure about getting the booster at first because she was so fed up of feeling like crap after each one.

Thanks all sorry so many of you have felt so rubbish like me ! Armpit was throbbing for a good 24 hours and so painful to move , even had to get DH to help me dress ha!
This evening it has eased a bit , I did go to work but ended up coming home and WFH . It has put me of getting another I have got to say . I think I was feeling more sorry for myself because that day I had pulled my back and burnt my leg with a hot water bottle which was not done up properly! I am very robust and don’t usually complain but was feeling pretty awful ! Still feeling shattered

Eeek you've still felt rough?! I thought they said up to 48 hours. I'm a day later than you so was hoping I'd feel better tomorrow 😳

Mine was about 5.5 days before I felt OK. Still absolutely exhausted though 1.5 weeks later

I only had a sore arm for 3 days.

I feel much improved from yesterday @wholeclasskeptin yesterday I felt so rough a lot better this evening . I hope you feel better soon too
