Nick one with a needle as you're being vaccinated and it bleeds so that you end up with a bruise, like you've got.
This is from the government's info. sheet for the AZ vaccine regarding side effects:
"Very Common (may affect more than 1 in 10 people)
* tenderness, pain, warmth, itching or bruising where the injection is given"
https://www.gov.uk/government/public...ne-astrazeneca
I hope that gives you a bit of reassurance though I know myself from experience that it's a bit of a nuisance.
The niggly ache doesn't usually last beyond a few days.

Just show it to your family & they will make the cups of tea, instead of you!

Re: Covid-19 Vaccinations
I havent read through all this thread but it seems most people have had very slight or no reaction to the vaccine which is good....I thought hard about posting here because I think its important people do get the vaccine so we can all get back to normal.Unfortunately I have had a bad reaction....I had the first vaccine Astra Zeneca a few weeks ago and I had flu like symptoms nothing too bad but it made me feel poorly...I just took paracetamol and had an early night.
I had the second jab on Tuesday at 2.30pm again similar symptoms so went to bed early and thought nothing of it....unfortunately next morning thats yesterday I woke up and the room was spinning I tried to stand up but I just couldn't get my balance then I started to vomit. Hubby dialed 111 they got a doctor to ring and he prescribed some anti sickness medication.....the whole day was terrifying I couldn't stand and continuous retching....I'm never ill....I have never stayed in bed even if I feel off I get up and get on with stuff but this knocked me for six. OK just one day but truly a terrible day....so frightening.
I feel OK this morning.....waiting to see if it comes back...fingers crossed it doesn't. I just googled my symptoms and it seems lots of people have had this reaction some say it can go on for weeks.....hope not.

Re: Covid-19 Vaccinations
Thanks for the concern over my arm everyone.I'm pleased to say it doesn't ache so much today & the bruise doesn't hurt either.
The same person gave Tony his and he doesn't have a mark.
I have always been an easy bruiser & I guess it's become worse now I take steroids for PMR.
