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?

We’ve had a dozen or so between us, never any issues.

No I have never had any issues before.

There is a thread under Health Sue Covid jab 2026 with some others experience.

I had my Covid jab on Monday and apart from a sore arm, I didn't feel too bad. Yesterday I had a very busy day and I was out and about most of the day. I found that as the day wore on I felt worse and worse - fluey, nauseated and light headed. My injection site was swollen, hot and red.

In the evening I went to bed early having not eaten anything since a light breakfast. Today I feel better but still not recovered.

Apart from the sore arm I have not had any of these symptoms before with previous Covid jabs.

I had my jab yesterday and feel utterly washed out today.
