It's this "the flu jab gives you flu" which prevents uptake in people I know who work in child care.
It needs proper communication

my sister has had the exact same reaction to the second dose along with several of her friends (all young nurses). A rough night sleep with fever and then feeling tired next day.
She has to isolate until she gets a test result - begs the question what will happen when masses receive the second dose, will huge amounts of people have to isolate?

Had both doses of Pfizer (doc working in COVID admissions) and second dose absolutely nailed me, along with pretty much all my colleagues under 55ish who’ve had it. Fever and bad flu like symptoms the day after, over by the following morning but just had to hole up in bed. Seems to be younger people get a pretty strong immune response like Covid in a day(which is apparently a good thing as it means vaccine working) but as they start to vaccinate more younger people they’ll need to communicate clearly that this seems to be a normal part of the process rather than a bad reaction.
