Vaccine side effects
Discussion
Glad you survived it, but it is a personal decision that only you can make. I personally had it done because not only was I convinced that with my asthma I was more susceptible but also a social conscience. The son-in-law caught it, took it home to the family, and he was taken to hospital and in a pretty bad way. You've had the virus, you know what it can do, so, wel, it is still your decision.

It’s a bit odd really, you don’t hear of anyone getting the virus where we live. Yes, my wife & i got it but we had spent the weekend in London (Wembley). In the stadium, round many bars, then a few more. Indian restaurant, then back at the hotel .. dozens round the bar. Following day went for a few beers for a change. 3 days later I was at another match at Hillsborough. The virus wasn’t really heard of then, in fact a week later Crufts at NEC was held. Hundreds of overseas visitors. But like I said where we are has not been a ‘hot spot’.Mother (mid 80's) no side effects
Sister (mid 50's) in bed for 3 days with exhaustion & joint pains... (but she is borderline case to be on the 'do not vaccine' list - as a kid a cholera jab put her into shock, and has had side effects from all jabs she has received) She went ahead anyway, as a teacher and relatively high risk due to other health issues

I had the OAZ first jab in mid January at 3pm. By 10pm I was feeling odd, the pre cold feeling, sensitivity. Bed at 2330.
I fell asleep normally but then around 0130 was semi awake, tossing, turning and groaning like I'd got a very sore head hangover. Broken sleep and waking every so often with more vocal groaning and never finding restful sleep.
Got up at 6am extremely tired, headache and feeling extremely hot but no real temperature. Went straight downstairs, downed paracetamol and ibuprofen, then stood in only my shorts in the back garden for the coolong bliss of the -4'c air and stayed there for a solid 10 minutes.
Although tired, I felt normal again a couple of hours later.

My arms a bit sore where I was jabbed but thankfully I think I'm over it now. Heading back mid May for round 2!
Had mine first thing Monday morning. By the evening started to ache, paracetamol took care of that. Arms turned into radiators for about half hour whilst in bed. Next morning again had the ache and what felt like a mild hangover, again paracetamol took care of that. By Mid morning i was fine.
Seemed to have got off the lightest given what my colleagues told me they had suffered, I'm 33

Lots of people I know of similar age haven't had any side effects. Lucky bar stewards.
Well, it is now 27 hours since I had the second Pfizer, and, as said, had been warned about the probability of headaches etc. The result is the slightest irritation at the injection point (like a small bruise feels) and nothing else. No aches pains, shivers - nothing. Onwards and upwards!

Mrs. Guitar (who is 28) had full-on flu-like symptoms after the second Pfizer jab, lasting around a day and a half. She's fine now though and delighted to be hopefully 'covid bionic'.
I wonder - in the same way some people can go from being asymptomatic through to completely wiped out (or even hospitalised) by covid, is it possible that we see the same sorts of variation in vaccine response? Would those who have little to no reaction to the vaccine also be likely to have little to no reaction to covid itself etc?

I've wondered the very same thing. Anyone here have knowledge in this area?Greendubber said:

My wife’s younger colleagues (25-28) who had the Pfizer had to be sent hone from A&E because they were looking worse than the patients Lots of people I know of similar age haven't had any side effects. Lucky bar stewards.
Something they’ve found is that those who’ve had Covid seem to react worse to the vaccine.

I'm afraid that at 75 I didn't want to try and find out! Someone, somewhere, will, I am sure, die as a result of the vaccine. But we must consider the situation as is, and even if someone dies, the rest of us have been saved, if not death, then a particularly nasty episode in our lives. Everything has a risk factor.lowdrag said:

Everything has a risk factor.So far there doesn't appear to have been any deaths as a result of the vaccine and 21m people so far have received it.
"The UK has so far received 143 reports of death following vaccination—none of which were caused by it. The Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) says: “The majority of these reports were in elderly people or people with underlying illness. Review of individual reports and patterns of reporting does not suggest the vaccine played a role in the death.”"

Whilst it might make some feel crap for a few days, the pros seem to far outweigh the cons to my mind. If you have any concerns or a history of things like anaphylaxis then I'm sure you'd mention it beforehand (assuming they don't already have notes on your record about it)?

When we got to the health centre the long queue were given a message: 'Hello everyone, you'll all be getting the Pfizer vaccine today, ok.'This week a friend went and all there that day got the Oxford jab.
Yesterday a freebie monthly rag came in the post, I always scan it before binning it or having a read if something catches my eye.
'This' caught my eye.

I am booked in to have my 1st jab on the 13th. Is it law that you have to have it. The Missus insists I do ... hoping I will die probably. She says I can’t travel abroad without it. Given the choice I would rather ‘give it a miss’. Had the virus last March, so rightly or wrongly, feel like I have a certain degree of immunity. (59 year old) 
It’s not law that you have to have it. It’s up to you whether you want it or not. You have to make that decision yourself. Douglas Quaid said:
