I had both this week and feel rotten. However, in the past my reactions to Covid vaccinations have, on occasions, been severe (I'm sensitive to many medications) and necessitated reporting to the Yellow Card site, but I'm surprised that this time my reaction has not been as bad as previously. It is all relative. I feel terrible, but not as terrible as previously.
I always have both at the same time, one on each arm. That way my clinicians have an idea which one has caused any reaction.
Being immunocompromised, I have to weigh up the pros and cons. The pros won! It won't stop me catching Covid, but will hopefully lesson the effects.
I have had Covid once, caught from my asymptomatic granddaughter. I received anti virals in hospital in less than twenty four hours and survived. Without the intervention of anti virals and regular vaccination, I have been told I will probably not survive catching Covid.
Everyone has to do what is best for them. The discomfort of vaccination is better than being seriously ill or dying
