I have had an annual flu jab for years and 70% of the time I get a sore arm for a few days but it soon gets better & isn't anything to worry about.

I think that suffering after Jabs is often psychological fear, but very few people suffer any serious problems.
I believe it will take some time to get back to normal, when we have all had our jabs, but at least we will have some protection.
I really hope that all our members can look back on Covid as a bit of a nuisance, rather than a tragedy, and we can see the funny side of "Lock Down" in a couple of years!
What a lovely post Twink, thank you.

I did have in mind that it may help people, who were hesitant about having the vaccine, to know what the experience was like. I admit to being scared when it was first announced the vaccine was now available.... nobody would really know how it would affect them. Then I realised we see may never see the end of this in our lifetime unless we do something about it now and we both decided we would go for it and do our bit for the nation to help towards living a safer life.

I didn't sleep well last night but that's not unusual for me. Mr M slept like a log! I have a very slight soreness on my arm this morning, nothing to stop me from doing anything though and my husband has a slight achy arm, no different from any other jabs that he's had in the past.

I would urge folk to go for it if they are fit enough but having mixed feelings.

Re: Covid-19 Vaccinations

My very elderly mum had the pfizer one and is fine. No side effects, not even arm soreness in fact she thought she felt better after having it. She said it was so much easier than the flu vaccine. Like nothing happened. No sign of a second head apparently!

The nurse spent a while aligning it to ensure that the microchip was in exactly the right place...

Glad that you and Mr M are fine Mags.....I think the achy arms are a result of bruising from the needle and nothing to do with the vaccine. Despite what I write on here, I don't believe there is anything to fear or be worried about from the vaccine. Despite what all the conspiracy theorists keep harping on about, It makes me think that because there are several companies now producing vaccines, they can't all be producing dodgy vaccines.....That's if they ever were.....
Good on yer Mags.....

Re: Covid-19 Vaccinations

Well, I felt tired all day yesterday and my arm ached, but I feel fine today, although I’m telling Mrs p otherwise in case she lines up any jobs for me, so apart from the sudden urge to climb my neighbors tree....I feel fine..

That's good to hear Primus, please keep us updated on any changes.
