Also in the UK. Like 99.9% of the population I wasn't fortunate enough to be offered a choice of which vaccine I got. Turned out to be the Pfizer one. Only had one dose so far. But the only side effects I found were the shoulder they stabbed me in went a bit tender for a couple of days. Meant things like changing gear while driving to work weren't fun times. After that no real problem
Wow... I’m sorry you had to go through that :/ I’m a healthy 23 year old as well & I got my first shot over a week ago. My arm was sore for 3 days & felt minor soreness in my lower back. Oh & also sleepy on the first day. I’m from the US & took Pfizer.
Enjoyable?;D i was dying! with you! while i was reading about your experience 😫it felt like it was horror story and i am in middle of it with you😅it was so traumatic that i gonna scared for life to take that vaccine😨😳
Oh no!! I’m sorry lol. Bright side is it’s been over six months and I’m alive and well
Why are you not a fan of pzf? I thought that was the better one to take over Astra?
both are slowly being rolled out in Australia. I’m hoping to take pzf but my state seems to be giving more astra. There seems to be so much drama with astra which is why I leaned towards pzf.
I had the first dose of the Moderna vaccine yesterday. My shoulder is sore at the injection site but am otherwise ok.
I have been told that the second dose is where people have complained about side effects. I get the second dose in 4 weeks.
Update. The third day after the shot, my arm was very sore and I felt achy all over and just felt funky. The next day I was a little better and today I am almost ready to start working out again. Hopefully tomorrow.
I am weighing the options and have heard horror stories like this. It will ultimately come down to what I think will be a bigger risk, something like this or getting COVID.
What many dont' realize is the vaccines are still technically in the experimental stage. People talk as if they are done with testing and the vaccines are for wide distribution. They aren't they are for emergency use they have just expanded the use of them.
Well I mean the AstraZeneca is the traditional viral vector vaccine, just like the ones most of us have had growing up.
It was definitely a horror story but i am alive and well now (lol). I’m also somewhat immune to covid which appears to be much more serious!
‘Somewhat immune’
I’d like you to dig into that. What is ‘somewhat immune?’
It depends who you are. Some people get COVID and their symptoms are very minor or even on-symptomatic. The question is, in their case it might not be beneficial to take the vaccine if it has bad side effects. However, someone in high risk probably has nothing to lose by taking it. And I would reiterate the above comment, what does "somewhat immune" mean?
I just had it done like 3 hours ago.
After 5 minutes of getting the shot i had some issues with the blood pressure, going really high and then going really low, almost passed out, they monitored me a bit and thankfully it only lasted for 15minutes, so now i'm home.
Waiting for the days to come. Some people i know have just gotten a fever the first day. So who knows what is coming. Beats covid though.
you'll regret it when you catch a cold next fall, many are going to die and they will blame covid, not the vax
Not sure how the cold and dying are related?
People who get the vaccine experience worse effects from covid and i really hope u dont have to learn that the hard way
That’s cuz AstraZenica is f*cked. We use Pfizer and Moderna in the US of A cuz we’re betterrrr 😁😆
Lol we have the option between Astrazeneca and Pfizer :)
Then why’d you choose them!!! 🤦♂️
I prefer AstraZeneca because it's the traditional type. Pfizer is novel so wasn't to keen to have that tested in my body - long term effects remain unknown!
JNJ is the best tho. Because one and done! Now you’re going to have to go through all that a second time!
Yes I will :'(
I’m telling you. Get the JNJ one. Its better.
Too late now isn't it lol
Nah its good. Skip that second appt and get another vaccine
This is normal for a vaccine. Essentially your are injecting a modified strain of the Coronavirus that is altered so that your body can make antibodies for the virus. So it's normal to get sick because that's how your body is able to fight back. Just without all the bad shit that can kill you.
Sounds like yours is an outlier extreme example.
My mother got the vaccine, she's 84 and in poor health. She had no adverse reaction to it and we're looking forward to her second dose (in about 3 weeks now).
Still a lot better than what you would have experienced had you contracted Covid.
That is very true!
the vaccine does not prevent covid19, infact some people's immune systems have become weaker!
If you know yourself to have a strong immune system, the question you should ask is why you need a vaccine? A person with underlying conditions or a generally weak immune system i can understand, but since our bodies have taken quite a few vaccines already, do you not trust your immune system to have got stronger as a result?
@Millicano I guess we're just gonna have to wait and see what happens to me D: lol
@alyssa11 sorry i didn't mean to scare or upset you. Youve had the vaccine and were brave to, if it improves your immune system you will know in years to come. Vaccines do help, the flu vaccine prevented me from getting chest infections. I am not totally against the new vaccines, but I've always waited a while to feel happy to have one, thats how i am. To be fear-mongered, expected, demanded to have one though is unnacceptable. We know ourselves more than anyone. I was in London during the first pandemic (hospital staff), my immune system handled the virus. However what i cannot understand is why 'people' went to lengths to make others feel unwell, i won't get into details here.
@Millicano Yes and it's a very, very messy situation. Living her has made me accept the feeling that it's either I take the vaccine or we're trapped indoors forever
@Millicano You cannot "know" pr measure the strength or weakness of your immune system against a particular virus until it is confronted by that virus, and by that time it may kill or disable you. This is like testing a supposedly bulletproof vest by shooting a bullet at it, with you in it. If it works you live, if not you die.
People who insist that their immune systems are "strong enough" have no direct experience with the virus or think they do and really don't. Suggesting that other people take this risky course that you advocate is almost criminal.
While you guys debate about the vaccine, here's an interesting and reliable article *if you're interested* www.bbc.com/.../20210114-covid-19-how-effective-is-a-single-vaccine-dose
@alyssa11 historically speaking, there are cities and towns (and new gens of people) who have not had the previous vaccines. Therefore sometimes little outbreaks of historic viruses do occur (i have reported on measles). Did this cause lockdowns? Normality will occur even if you dont take the vaccine. I found it quite surprising how in November 2020 having taken a new job i realised i was missing 3 vaccinations for historic viruses (did i need these if for a decade i didn't get ill from them having worked in multiple hospitals 🙄) Vaccinations are now a business, money. If all vaccinations were not being rolled out to ALL schools and some were on a GP appointment 'cost involved, you have to pay for it' then the need to have a vaccine is flawed. Because apparantly all it takes is 1 person to have a virus and everyone gets it right? I can't get my head round not adminstering historic vaccines to all.
@Millicano I see what you mean but aren't you referring to small outbreaks of historic viruses/pathogens? We're in a pandemic so things are slightly out of control.
@Millicano Herd immunity.
But unfortunately we don't know how to identify risk groups. I'm surprised my body reacted this way to the vaccine when I'm a healthy 23 year old.
Sounds like it was very unpleassant, but you recovered without any apparent damage. That says a lot.
Thats a very valid point!!
@msc545 To not trust yourself is a criminal act? haha, sorry you feel so little of yourself. Let me think, have you been in a situation you knew you were not at fault for because you knew this with your own brain memory? But in a report it states by someone else you were at fault and they'd encouraged this decision by introducing guilt which you knew are untrue. Do you trust yourself? Or are you always going to listen and just do what your told? Criminal is interpretation based on another persons judgement, but not yours. But this concept you have bought into and believe is fair, it is not.
@msc545 so deprived schools/states who aren't given vaccines should be confident of herd immunity? not the ones with strong immune systems in wealthy states/schools who should have the vaccine?
@alyssa11 strong immune systems reacting aggressively to viruses which is why you feel a reaction like that. Weak immune systems dont and allow the virus to do damage and slowly become ill. Weak immune systems won't react aggressively to the vaccine.
I forgot to mention the fact that because of the strong reaction the vaccine is destroyed by your immune system majorly and so your antigen level is unsuitable and you need a 2nd dose in 6 months time.
@msc545 when you say it didn't do any apparent damage, well it remains to be seen if it did any good either (read above)
@Millicano Look up the concept of "detrimental reliance".
@Millicano They may not have a choice.
@Millicano That is just SO incorect.
@Millicano If she catches Covid, we will know it didn't work. I think there is about a 98% or better chance she won't. That is as good as it gets.
@msc545 you make blanket statements like 'criminal' and 'incorrect' without an explanation. And by the way I know someone who is seriously ill with covid19 after they had the vaccine. It's ironic this person had cynically suggested I'd not get a job in something topclass for not having admin skills, and in 1month I am in strategic health intelligence, I find it funny that. But hey I don't wish all my enemies death 😇
@Millicano You need the words "incorrect" and "criminal explained to you? Seriously?
Look up what blanket statements mean.
Had you ever had an antibody test done? The first shot usually isn't the one that comes with nasty effects like that, unless your system already recognizes the spike protein as soon as your cells start manufacturing it.
That’s horrible but I’m really glad that you’re doing a lot better now. Thank you for sharing what you went through
Thank you! And sure, I want to normalise the vaccine and encourage people :)
You’re welcome 😊
yeah, you better stop telling that story, or you'll be silenced xD certain people don't like it, when the public hears about those things.
Sounds like its worse than the flu, i am pretty sure i had it last year and my symptoms were mostly caughing up a lot of slime, chills and finding it hard to breath.
I had two Moderna vaccines, and all I had was a little soreness in my arm for a couple of days. No fever, no body soreness, no body aches, no confusion, no tiredness, etc. All was good.
That sounds horrible, when my sister had covid, she couldn’t move to answer her phone, sounds kind of similar. I got the Pfizer one as it was the only one they were giving out in Ireland at the time. I just had a sore arm after both shots.
Thank you so much. My first shot 2 hours later i aas at home watching tv when i told my self i can't do this so i went to bed and skept for 8 hours next day i had the flu with fever a d 3rd day i had trouble breathing after 2nd shot i feel normal agsin after a year of long term symptoms
I got mine too both doses, first dose just a sore arm for the a day or so. 2nd does, just groggy for 24 hours
