Not at all, they are different types of vaccines and the Oxford one has more chance of an adverse effect. It should be mild and last 2 days at most, but people affected may be alarmed if they feel like they have flu like symptoms after a vaccination. Feeling a bit rough is a common reaction.

The pfizer one has a risk of anaphylaxis in people who have a history of severe allergic reactions. So they watch people for fifteen mins to ensure they don't react. That's why you have to wait after that one. So some people can react badly to that one too. Potentially more life threatening but that's why they have you sitting down and have the right meds available. They will also ask you whether you have a history of severe allergies. I'd have to say no to it (if offered) for that reason.

In the case of moderna I read a study that indicated it has more incident of side effects than pfizer including possible fever aches and pains and general malaise for a couple of days. They are all similar in terms of protecting against Covid (although don't ask me about the pfizer 12 week interval idea).

I only asked because l had the Pfizer vaccine.
I told the nurse today that l was allergic to various things. She asked if l was ever hospitalised for any allergic reaction?
I said, l hadn’t.
Then she showed me the list of the ingredients of the Pfizer and asked if l was allergic to any of them.
There were three headings, Fats, Salt and Sugar. I wasn’t familiar with the Lipids under the Fats heading.
I didn’t think l was allergic to any of the sodium things under the Salt heading or normal sugar under the Sugar heading as l don’t have sugar in tea or on anything.

So she asked me if l wanted her to go ahead with giving me the vaccine and l said, ‘Yes’!

Seems you will have no side effects. If you are to have a reaction it will be right away.

The three people I know who felt rough said it started within about 5-6 hrs. and lasted approx 24 - 36 hrs.

Just heard 4 vaccination centres had to close because of the snow today.
Its about 6" deep here tonight - and minus 6!

Annie, I am still ok but maybe tomorrow might be different when my body realises there’s a predator lurking in my system!



Mups, When the snow started falling here and settling, my heart sank but luckily the roads were fine when l went for my vaccination.

Nowt wrong Mups, but you were replying to Art's post about a Pfeizer vaccine. My mum had the pfeizer one too and all well no side effects. I wish I could have that one but I have a history of anaphylaxis.

If you didn't react right away there's no chance you will have an allergic reaction tomorrow. If you do it won't be the vaccine. Hope all goes well.
