In case it helps anyone in any way.
I'm 33, solid organ transplant and immune supressed. I had AZ Saturday about 3 weeks ago, 1pm ish. Smooth process, no real waiting around, friendly volunteers and staff.
Felt fine all day, woke up on Sunday feeling like I had a cold - sluggish, slow/foggy brain, achy, decided to lounge around on the sofa instead of going out riding (boo!). Because of immune suppression the back end of colds usually linger for a week or so, but I woke up Monday morning 100% - it was like magic, never known anything like it. No fever or chills, just lost 30-40% of my energy and drive like a cold.
I believe I had CV in April 2020 before tests were available. Transplant community are pretty chatty and it sounds like the people who have had the strongest reaction are those who suspect they've had it/tested positive at some point in 2020.
On a last note, I had an honest conversation with my transplant team as my heart failed due to autoimmune issues. I was advised to go for the vaccine.
