Had my Covid vaccination yesterday and usually don’t have much in the way of side effects, but this time I feel like I have the flu. Fever, headache, aches in arms and legs, Palpitation, BP spike. Not much sleep. Sorry to moan on but just wondered if anyone else had the same?

I was going to have another covid vaccine next week because I want to start going to the gym again, but I’m travelling home on the following Sunday and I’ve got a well woman check that week. My daughter caught covid for the first time the other week, having been exposed to it numerous times over the past few years. Not sure what to do now.

I decided to give it a miss after looking up how many cases there are currently, which was very very few.
I shan’t bother in future unless there’s a surge in cases.

Agree.

Felt awful the day after my jab, but still pleased I had it.

I nearly always feel fluey the day after a Covid jab and make sure I have nothing scheduled for that day. I just stay in bed and by about 5 o'clock I start to feel okay again.
