I had flu-like symptoms with my first jab, although these only lasted a day or so. Had my second jab a week or so ago and was perfectly fine. This was the AstraZenica.

Pfizer here. Both jabs. Zero side affects.

Same here Whitewave. Feeling a bit lethargic today but that’s nothing unusual!

After 1st Pfizer vaccine..felt fine...excited to have 2nd one last Tuesday...initially a sore arm that's all...Wednesday...horrendous intermittent stabbing headaches that lasted until Thursday a.m...and since then...everything feels a bit surreal, am very emotional, just dont feel fully 'with it'...its a bit scary....cant hear properly either...

Same here farview. No side effect at all after first jab- and none this time until late evening when it hit me. Terrible headached, bad stomach and high temp. Same next day. Better today, but I am sure I've got a mild temperature now. I was not expecting that, at all!

Husband and I both had Pfizer, and after the 1st dose we were both fine, just a slight tenderness for a couple of days. Although, I did get some redness and itching after 7 days, where the needle went in.

We had our 2nd dose on Saturday. We were fine on the day, but for a couple of days afterwards we both felt exhausted, and had lots of muscular aches, and hubby had a headache. Then, yesterday morning, I developed quite a large rash at the top of my arm, which is very red, itchy and slightly warm & swollen. It's also quite achey to lift my arm. After doing my own research, it seems to be a normal, possible side effect, so I'm not unduly worried. I hope it goes in a day or two!

It's a week today now since my vaccine and am still definitely not 100%....extremely tired and look totally haggard...

Farview, I felt ‘not myself’ for about two weeks, from twelve hours after the jab.

I had a full on migraine with sickness for thirtysix hours, not able to have a drink, only sips.

I honestly felt as though somebody had altered my dna!

No energy, no interest in anything, wanting to eat strange things!

Tired and miserable, not me at all .

I’ve got my second jab in about two weeks and I’m dreading it !

This was the AZ.

Oh heck 3dognight...seems to be quite common then to feel poorly after whichever vaccine.....I'm having an operation on my leg tomorrow to remove a piece of garden strimmer blade that's been in my leg since August...and I'm so not feeling well enough or in the right frame of mind...but dare'nt cancel..may have to wait months again....
