Got my second one on saturday, I’m a bit worried bc everyone says it hits you harder than the first one :worry:

my brother had his 2nd last week and said there were no side effects at all

...awwww, so pleased for you, Smithy...it’s Tuesday now and you’re feeling fine...?..so try not to think about it ...I know a few people who have had a second and no effects at all other than their immunity complete...:laugh:...I’m so glad that you’ve had it, though and another one that Boris can cross of the list...excellent, skinny legend and Vaccine legend...:love:..

How old is he?

It seems to affect younger people more
Girl I’ve been so ill the last few weeks :skull: I haven’t eaten since Saturday

I have my first a week tomorrow. :amazed:

he is older than me, so ... not young :laugh: I felt the first jab, not as bad as some but i certainly felt pretty crap for a day

whoo .. good stuff, make sure you get your sticker :hee:

What brand? My wife (33) has had both Pfizer doses and the second one had no side effects at all really: Sore arm and a little tired that evening. Fewer side effects than the first dose (although she didn’t have many for that either, just general tiredness for a couple of days).

Whereas AZ dose 1 kicked my arse for about 3 days.

Oh that’s probably why then :fist:
AZ :worry:

I’ve heard AZ 2nd dose tends to be easier than the first, most people saying the 2nd one hits hard are Pfizer: Though it’s basically just different for everyone I think.

i'm still confident i am not letting myself be vaccinated

i don't want that junk inside of me every single year

...:love:..

...have you spoken to your GP, Smithy...?..if you’ve felt ill for several weeks now and you haven’t eaten for 3 days, you must speak to your surgery, yeah...?...:hug:...did you say all of this when you had the second vaccination..?...

Netherlands begins with using Janssen (Johnson & Johnson) vaccine, after EMA had declared it safe

Obviously anecdotally, but it seems among those I know, the AZ vaccine hits HARD if you have had covid previously. This is first and second dose. Among those who 'have not had' (ie, generally not had a positive test, though they could have had it with no symptoms or whatever) covid, first dose is easy, second harsh. Speaking generally just from what I have heard.

My dad, gavins mam and gavin all had covid and got a day or two of feeling ****ty off the first jab. Gavs brother, and his wife had not had covid, and felt nowt off first jab. However, his brother has had second one now and got period of illness similar to other people got off first. This seems to be following with friends too, though it does seem one person I know, who had confirmed covid last year, has not had any side effects at all off either jab...but that seems to be the exception rather than the rule!

Not sure on pfizer though as it seems near everyone here is getting AZ.

This means nowt really. But am finding it all a bit interesting I have to say. The immune system is such a weird thing really..

Ontop of this of course you have to figure in that people are more likely to tell others about their reactions if they are bad. Like, you are much more likely to hear is X was ill off it, than that they got it and were fine. Which scews perception somewhat

They said exactly the same thing about Janssen as they did with AZ

The benefits outweigh the risks of rare clots

Fighting a losing battle here I think cherie :p

:laugh:

I'd say it hit me moderately hard - no fever or anything but I'd describe it as feeling like I'd had no sleep for 3 days no matter how much sleep I got, I felt a bit "floaty" like I wasn't really here or couldn't concentrate and I had a banging headache at the base of my skull (the blood clots obviously).

It is POSSIBLE that I had Covid in early May 2020 but I never had a test so I guess now we'll never know...

I had my first jab last Friday and apart from a sore arm which I still have kind of, and feeling tired on Saturday that's been it so far.

I know I didn't have covid as I had an antibody test recently to check :hee:

20% of adults fully vaccinated now

and 63% of the adult population have had their first jab

and I neither got a sticker or a little card to carry :hmph:

That was the worst side effect for me. Feeling left out.
