COVID-19 vaccines

I had a rough (-ish) first AZ jab; nothing from the second beyond a slightly sore arm for a day or two.

Had both AZ jabs.
1st: Slight densifying of muscle at injection site after 30 hours. 11 weeks later;
2nd: No ill effect whatsoever.

Sounds like I should be quietly confident about the 2nd then on Weds, first wiped me out for 24 hours with the usual symptoms.

My AZ #1 was slightly rough... temp/headache 24hrs, arm quite a bit longer... #2, last week, not a dicky bird. Nada. Nothing. It was great.

Yes, mate. For me felt like beer hangover on first. Whisky hangover on second. But others I have talked to had nothing on second.

Excellent. Sounds good. Imperial century on Sunday it is then.

1st Pfizer Monday at 1630. 15hrs so far with nothing but sore arm. Anyone had delayed reactions? I’m hoping that’s it 🤞

That was it for me

24hr malaise is also a fair description of my post-AZ#2 jab experience.

AZ#1 was much worse - three days or thereabouts.

a ‘moaning lightweight’ when it comes to any illness

Bear in mind this is also my experience.

I feel like I'm a bit run down, 3 days after. But I've also been busting aaa for the 3 days since so could be due to that.

Me too, wiped me out for five days easily, aged 51

First AZ knocked me bandy for three days... second one, absolutely fine.. I felt a bit charged, if anything!

Got booked in this morning for first jab on the 20th, earliest I could get in my area at the moment according to the site was 17th I think but have an Audax planned for the 19th so wanted to get it done after that rather than before. 29 years old.

their BMI was the reason they were called up early.

My friend (no really, this isn't a #hippyisfat joke) was called up early because when he first registered at his GP he was quite a way above where he should've been weight-wise. So it doesn't even have to be if you're currently fat, just what their last measurement was for you.

I've just had AZ jab so with my clotting history just thought I'd take this opportunity to say it's been nice knowi

Dibs the bike

If you had a history of clotting issues, I'd have thought that would make you a higher risk than average so have would get the safer vaccine. Wasn't that what happened with the not getting the Pfizer vaccine due to possible reaction.

Fingers crossed.

Which one?

Nope, because there's no evidence that the clotting from AZ has anything to do with the clotting from FVL (or any of the myriad other clotting issues people have).

What's the word? It's not contra-indicated or something. So, getting a clot from AZ is still the same risk for me as anyone else and it is still extremely low. So, he did get another guy in for a second opinion when I got my jab, but I'd already done my little bit of research and he echoed exactly what I was telling the first guy. "Just fucking stab me already!!"

So, all I've got from AZ #1 is a sore arm, that I only noticed when I laid on it last night and I could be slightly groggier and achey this morning but that could just as easily be my normal morning self - I was pretty sore after riding the TT bike on the turbo for the first time in >12 months.

I had AZ about three weeks ago. I've still got a sore arm - doesn't hurt, but sort of aches at some ranges of motion.

Is that ok, or should I be contacting someone? It's not particularly obtrusive so I let it slide, then I wondered if it was due to something else, but been wondering about it recently.

12 weeks on from first AZ, I can finally hold my arm straight up in the air without it hurting a bit. I get my second jab this afternoon...
(I probably should have phoned the yellow card thing, but I didn't get round to it. I didn't think it was worth bothering the GP with.)

Cool, thanks very much for replying.

I've had a message from another member that this has happened too. Everywhere I googled for 'sore arm', it just talked about the couple of days after the injection, but looks like this is something that happens sometimes and likely ok.
