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?

None of us at work isolated - just took the day off if needed and then cracked on. Bonkers that they’re making her isolate. I think they need to clarify this pretty quickly, especially as more HCW’s get their second doses in to March and beyond as otherwise they’ll have a massive self-generated staffing crisis

I’m guessing having the vaccine won’t trigger a positive on a covid test?
Though if it’s doing it’s job, it will report a positive antibody test?

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.
