Vaccines and Reactions: Thoughts please ?

Best wishes paddyann, hope you feel better soon.

There’s really no medical/physiological reason why a non-live vaccine would make anybody ill. It’s not active to cause any sort of reaction within the body.

Best do what the doctor says?

I have had a non serious but knocked on my bum reaction with every covid jab and most of my flu jabs. I guess your answer depends on your definition of illness. Active or not it certainly does cause a reaction in my body! I still go and get them because I have had flu twice and the reactions I do get are a walk in the park compared to flu, also I do not want covid.... but please don't say that reactions can't happen because they do!

I probably didn’t phrase myself at all well. I was kind of musing over the phenomena of reaction. Let me try to exp,sin better where my thoughts were drifting off to.

When my husband had leukaemia and had no immune system of his own at all he had intravenous immunity , white blood cells taken from other people to enable him to then receive some vaccinations against infections within his own body.

After the vaccinations his blood and major organs were all monitored very carefully three times a day. The dead vaccines produced no detectable changes in blood or organs. Which is what, medically, would be expected.

I wasn’t denying people’s reactions, more trying to reassure that nothing serious was happening in terms of what the reactions were doing to the body.

Which I obviously did very badly? Sorry.

My Covid vaccine was my 5th ,first 4 were all phizer.no reactions at all.this last one was Moderna.which I was dreading having heard about bad side effects,so I was pleased that it wasn't as bad as expected,but worse than others

Nana8 older people are actually on their fifth vaccine perhaps Ashcombe is younger
I had my fourth in the springtime and now awaiting my fifth it was booked for Sunday but had to cancel as had another problem occur

I've just had my fourth today.
I think I may be behind in how many I should have had, but presuming it doesn't matter?

I haven't had my fourth yet and now have to wait as, ironically, I caught Covid just as I got an appointment to go for the vaccination.
