Vaccine side effects

I think you're wrong there. A day feeling a bit rough. I'll take that every 3 months or so if it's needed to stop the hospitals filling up.

Are people really interpreting the posts on this thread as complaints? For me it's mostly people saying "meh felt rough for a day but no big deal".

Covid doesn't put me in hospital, and the vaccinated are still infectious.

I can see it now, Whitty droaning on in March ' get your fourth jab to save Easter'

My travel Covid passport only says 21st Jan based on my recent booster.

The date refreshes each time you open the app, it even makes that clear in the app.

It put 2 friends in hospital and killed one. In his 40s.

It does have a history of filling up hospitals. But the point of this thread is there are side effects, but mostly nothing to worry about.

After 2 x BioNtech I had a Moderna as my booster last Tue morning.
12 hours later I was feeling a little rough.
The next morning I felt quite achy, all over, definitely feeling the effects.
By that evening (Wed) I was fine again!

If 24h of feeling a little unwell means I've a stronger chance of not being really fking sick, or dead, I'll take it, thanks.

I can't see people stepping up every 3 months for another shot to be honest. I've had 3 and lucky enough, no illness but for those who get sick for a couple of days after, its starts to become a real inconvenience.

We're both speaking for ourselves and extrapolating that to the wider population, but the truth probably lies somewhere in the middle

If it turns out that omicron is actually quite dangerous then I would take another shot. I've had 3 so far and it's no big deal. But if it turns out to be a mild virus, eg, less severe than flu, then I personally can't see myself getting 4 doses a year for that.

Same thing happened to me multiple times after my first Pfizer jab. Heart pounding away, including one time when I was lying down in bed.

Seems to be a lot better now but it was a worrying few months. I suspect the rates they give for Myrocarditis are for those where it is serious enough to need treatment. I suspect it is a common side effect and most recover by themselves. Best to avoid strenuous exercise for a few weeks if I were you!

It was very jarring to say the least.

I'm a bit of a cock so I was working out the very same day, was absolutely fine.

The tightness in the chest has completely gone now (day 3 from 1st episode).

I had my booster on the 14th, aside from burning up straight after, and feeling high as anything the next day, I thought all was fine. I have had an upset stomach every morning since though, it's been a good while since and it appears to be coming the new norm for me

WRT training, I decided to take it easy for a few days so that my immune system could process the vaccine each time I had it. No weights, but continue to play tennis (light doubles so less strenuous) and low resistance gym biking.

I do notice my endurance is lower for a few days after each shot.

My experience of the vaccinations:

I’m in my mid to late fifties. I’m fit and active, but I have a health issue that means I am classed as vulnerable.

I had my first jab in February. Pfizer. The only side effect was a sore arm.
I had my second jab in April. Pfizer again. No side effects at all, not even a sore arm.

I had my third jab on the 18th December. A full dose of Moderna, rather than the booster dose. I wasn’t anticipating any side effects. In fact I went for a two hour walk with a friend later the same day. During the walk I felt normal, then suddenly had a massive stabbing pain in the left of my chest. I half joked with my friend that he shouldn’t be alarmed, but I might be having a heart attack. The pain disappeared within seconds. We continued the walk and I had no further issues.
I woke in the early hours of the 19th with lower body pains and feeling generally a bit off colour. I ran a bath at about 5.00am and fell asleep in it. I woke up feeling terrible. I had a minor headache and a raised temperature. That was manageable, but I had strong lower body pains and I felt increasingly nauseous. Thinking that I would soon be sick I took position over the toilet. Thank God I was there as with next to no warning I had explosive diarrhoea. As soon as that was finished I was sick. The diarrhoea didn’t happen again, but I was vomiting about once an hour for the next ten hours or so. I stayed in bed as much as possible and felt absolutely terrible and had fevered dreams, waking regularly with more stabbing pains over my heart.
I had pre-booked leave on the 20th. The nausea and vomiting had stopped and the headache and fever were gone. The stabbing pains from the left side of chest made themselves known every few hours. I had fatigue and had a complete inability to eat or drink anything. God knows why, but I assumed that I would be recovered by the next day.
I walked into work on the 21st and felt quite a bit better. This only lasted for twenty minutes or so. I felt dreadful and fell asleep at my desk. Two colleagues whose views I trust told me that I looked really unwell and they urged me to go home. I went home and slept from 3.00pm until 9.30am the next day.
I stayed home on the 22nd and the 23rd. Still had fatigue and no desire at all for food or drink. Oh, and the occasional stabbing pains, though they were less frequent.
Feeling guilty about being off I returned to work on the 24th. Still felt fatigued and gladly left after three hours.
Awoke on Christmas morning and felt so much better and this has continued. All of the side effects that I had are known issues with Moderna and there is a reasonable chance that they will last for up to seven days as they did with me.
My wife had the Moderna booster at the same time as me and only had a headache!!

I’m still getting the stabbing pains from the left side of my chest once or twice a day which is worrying, but the pains are becoming less severe.

Will I have another jab? Probably yes, but I can’t promise.

You should probably call 101, stabbing pain to the chest sounds like one of the serious side effects:

Did you make any professional medical appointments? At a similar age and I’d be most concerned.....

I was "lucky" enough to get that after the first Pfizer jab. So I suspect all the comments on how "rare" it is are complete cr*p and they know it.

Few people are probably sick enough with it to go to hospital but I suspect it is a common side effect, particularly in males.

You lunatic. Your body is telling you that this is very bad stuff but you'll take more? Wow.

People are so brainwashed by Governments scaremongering over this petty Covid virus. For most people, it is a very minor cold.

How do you know whether for you it’s a minor gold or a life threatening virus?

Well having been around plenty of people with Covid, including living with my kids and not having caught it, then I have either had it and not known or am not likely to catch it.

If I did catch it I would be confident of not being one of the 600 people under 40 in the UK that have succumbed to it as that is a very small number in the grand scheme of things.

I mean that's an illogical statement right there, but regardless of the whole hysteria of the past couple of years, stabbing pain to the chest is listed as a serious side effect of the vaccine and they specifically ask you to contact health services if you have it.

I don't have my sheet with me, but for my AZ they listed the side effects and what do do if you experience certain ones. OP should check his and not just man up.

It’s this kind of stupid advice that has led to the most vulnerable people to avoid the vaccination. It’s stupid at best to talk about COVID as ‘petty’. Having had it twice now it wasn’t life threatening, but having experienced it both before the vaccinations and after the difference was marked.

Well... How did you know that it was the vaccination that made the difference rather than simply you already having had prior exposure from infection the first time? Reinfection data even prior to vaccination had already long been suggesting much more mild disease. It isn't quite as clearcut as you are implying it's all due to the vaccinations that made it less severe now....

[steveT350C]

Certain vaccine batch numbers seem to be much worse than others.

I thick the rather large amount of hospitalisations and deaths the first time around would show a few holes in that theory? It looks like the current virus is less severe, but who knows, affects us all differently.
