Re: Covid-19 Vaccinations

I consider myself very lucky. I had my first jab yesterday morning (Oxford), at Westpoint Arena, East Devon and have had no side effects whatsoever, no symptoms and no aching arm. Last night I felt just a little more tired than usual but it just meant I had a good sleep until 9am. I hope the second one will be the same.

Re: Covid-19 Vaccinations

That's great LD The stats are that only 14% have the ill effects for 2 or 3 days. Women are more likely to be affected.

I wonder why that is? As for the painful arm, I am convinced it is down to the person giving the jab. When you think about it, we are all different, with differently shaped arms; getting it in the correct spot each time must be difficult (If there is a correct spot). Perhaps it's just luck?

The sore arm is usually because you have been injected with a foreign body. It's a local response to an invasion. I always get that and it always feels a bit weird because it doesn't have a centre of pain. When you touch it you can never really locate where the dratted pain sits. I think that's maybe because the stuff goes in quite deep. Apparently moving your arm around just after a jab helps but I don't fancy testing that theory.

I don't think there's a wrong spot in that area. It's just into a muscle.
It's not as if you're trying to hit a vein.

No, I think it's just the luck of the draw.
Some people are more sensitive than others.

And some would argue that women just whinge more than men.

NO, NO, NO... I DIDN'T MEAN IT. REALLY, I WAS ONLY JOKING.

My son had 2 days of feeling fluish after his first AZ jab last Monday, just a bit achy now.

Re: Covid-19 Vaccinations

I finally made the effort to ring the local clinic for an appointment for my Covid jab as I am in Phase 1b which commenced on Monday. Apparently it is administered by a nurse not a doctor.

So now I have an appointment on 12 April and the 5th July for the first and second doses.

Easy as!
