Had the jab yesterday and have felt pretty dire today, headache, listless, sleepy, sore arm. DH also felt unwell. However we both seem to be feeling better now 24 hours later. They didn’t give us a document describing this particular jab.

Onward and upward. 👍

I was bedbound after the Modena booster in 2022 for 19 months with horrendous symptoms & pain. I had tachycardia with a 250 HR. I'm on beta blockers. I have an autoimmune condition and COPD but am too wary to get jabbed again, have had COVID since & fortunately been ok will take my chances.. A friend got myocarditis post booster.

I had my booster on Thursday last week and for the first time I have had a reaction.
I wasn’t 100% on Friday with a very sore arm, very hot to touch and tender.
Today in spite of the lovely weather I have felt cold and shivery at times.
I have now come to bed with a hot drink and Paracetamol.

Mum reports a sore arm and aching all over for a few days, with a Moderna vaccine.

Had my booster last Monday. Had left Tuesday free in case I had any reactions - but absolutely none. Site of injection very slightly sore for a couple of days, but that is all. Another week and I will be protected against whatever is the current type of Covid doing the rounds. Wonderful NHS - thank you.

That is usually me Franbern and I am really surprised that I have had a reaction this time.
I had the RSV at the same time but it is definitely the Covid site which is still warm with a small lump.
My whole arm is still subject to sharp stabs of pain rather like nerve pain.
For the first time I am considering skipping the Autumn booster if we are offered one.

I never had a single covid jab and never would.

Assume you do not use NHS in any form whenever you are ill.

I have been thinking of other people I knew who stated they would not get this vaccine, however none of them are still alive now!!!

Lucky you Robin, I had my jab and it helped me recover from Covid when I eventually caught it. I was in close proximity to someone with a heavy dose, or I’m sure I’d have not caught ig
