Have not heard of any 'serious' reactions, but anecdotally it appears flu type symptoms are VERY common. Mind, apparently they are listed as 1/10 chance of occuring. I think it seems like more really..BUT that could be down to...well people aren;t really going to say, if they didnt get a reaction, more likely to say if they did?



The goverment also, have a vested interest in NOT scaring people out of getting the vaccine, so I assume some have had very bad reactions but its been kept out of the press. No way have millions been done without at least a few suffering badly..

I did a actually wonder about that last part ..

Among all the people I know of who have had the vaccine..
Only a couple have really been unwell after.

With like flu and headache which they were warned could be the case although they were worse than they expected it to be.

As I said my own Mum was only extremely tired after with no other issues, so far.
Thankfully.

However your last paragraph, I would still agree with wholeheartedly.
I'd say you are correct in your thinking there.
It makes total sense that any really bad after effects would be played down and not be raised as a statistic.
Not while the roll.out of the vaccine is being intensified further anyhow.

Interesting point that was.

My wife has (NHS staff) and I'm sure there are a couple on here who have. As a group overall most people here won't have yet as we're a bunch of spring chickens.

My aunt and loads of her friends, all good

Ness has had hers as well, and Smithy

I'm going in 2 weeks for my vaccine

[Candy Annie Cane]

My Dad had his....absolutely no side effects. Although he now has shingles but don't think its related (no matter what one of his friends-who refused their vaccine- tried to convince him it is)

shingles are usually caused by stress and a lowered immune system, I wish him better x

IN THEORY it's not totally impossible... technically, almost everyone who has had chicken pox in their life has the shingles virus, it lies dormant forever but can re-surface as Shingles, because of immune system stuff or sometimes basically at random. So I guess... theoretically... it's not impossible that after a vaccine, the immune system being busy creating antibodies could allow shingles a foothold.

It wouldn't be a reason not to vaccinate though, shingles is unpleasant but very rare for it to be serious.

[Nicky91]

the only reason i am not vaccinating myself is i don't go anywhere and we live in a 'bubble' i guess, i've never had a active social life tbh, other than (in secret from my parents) being on forums

now it is also sorted for me by my parents i am on waiting list for online grocery shopping, i got 5.134 people in front of me

.... are you not "allowed" to be on forums / on TiBB, Nicky?

My father in law got shingles a couple of days after his flu jab last year..

He still said he prefers the shingles to flu. I always thought it was massively painful but either he played it down a lot, or its not!

Neither me or Mr C qualify yet, he got called as he had a pnemothorax (collapsed lung) a few years ago, so he gets called for the flu vaccine now, so I expect he is on their list of 'clinically vulnerable', he wasn't asked to shield though so not sure why he is so high up the list, probably because it's lungs!

My husband is meant to get his flu vaccine, has turned it down for years though (after 2 bad years in a row, where he caught flu right after getting it, so convinced himself the vaccine was giving him it..rather than the vaccine only protects against some flus and it was bad luck). I wonder if this means he might be due soon..as he IS meant to get the flu one. He only gets it on the grounds of asthma though, which is quite controlled by his inhaler..which apparently was changed early on to mean he is NOT higher risk than others.

I think its only brittle asthma that is now considered "high risk"

Flu rates this year are actually at rock bottom levels. They've discovered, essentially, that while PPE/lockdown/social distancing has a real battle against Covid infection rates... it seems to have a HUGE impact on influenza infection rates. Flu hospitalizations are way, way down.

Ha. So the memes about covid finally wiping out influenza are actually true?!
