Yes, 3 weeks ago. AZ vaccine. No probs whatsoever. 😃
That’s the one I had. So far so good. Just been reading the Pfizer is supposed to be the more reliable of the 2 which is disappointing but it is what it is.
Pfizer one, no problems
Pfizer..8 weeks ago
Oxford 10 days ago, felt pretty awful for a few days and still not right ☹️ My daughter who doesn't have any health problems had the Oxford yesterday and it's completely knocked her off her feet, she's really poorly.
Astra Zeneca 3 weeks ago. Just a slight soreness in the arm, otherwise all ok.
Astra Zeneca 2 weeks ago genuinely worried for a day or so they had just given me saline😀 no side effects at all
Pfizer, slight sore arm for 36hours
AstraZeneca 6 weeks ago - sore arm for several days.
Had the AZ jab and it made me feel like I had flu next day.
Here in Devon 9 people have died in a care home and they all had their first jab 4 weeks ago.
Really? That’s reassuring Jean 😬 hopefully had nothing to do with the jab itself 🤞
It just makes you worry how much protection it gives. Don't know which jab they had. The government keep singing the praises of the vaccine saying that's why cases are dropping, but I think it's because of the lockdown. We need more time to see the results of the vaccine.
Don’t think the government have got any other choice at the minute to be fair. Vaccine is the best option available so it makes sense to push it. Time will tell.

I think we need to be careful and not jump to any conclusions. The “experts” have always said that it will take time before they will know how much protection vaccines offer for the various cohorts. I guess it’s possible that older and more infirm care home residents may have impaired immune systems as well as a multitude of different reasons why they did not overcome Covid.

Or overcome the vaccine
Yes agree, reading today that a 60 year old developed blood clots after the vaccine and died and it has been put on hold for a bit in the EU. In Aussie land they don't think it's a problem. Well you know it isn't a problem if you don't get the blood clots, maybe if the real truth came out, those of us who are reluctant to have it, may go ahead with it, also the people who have died in care homes, you know what, maybe they shouldn't have had the vaccination. I'm not anti anything but this smell a little.
Yes, my old pal died a couple of weeks ago from covid which he was confident he contracted at the local hospital when he went in for a scan as he had been nowhere else in that time period. He had received one jab 21 days before showing symptoms which then developed into full blown disease. Do not become complacent after one shot.
If I was the head honcho over the health authorities I would call a halt immediately to vaccinating the elderly until some sort of proper trials were done we have one life and it should be protected when I was told not to put my hand in the fire that it would burn me I didn't put my hand in the fire
I very much agree. I think that it’s best to continue as if you hadn’t had a jab for the time being.In the last few days a Devon care home has had 30 or so new COVID positives, several have been hospitalised and one has sadly died. All had received one jab and were due their second. Hopefully this is very much a one off but it goes to show that having had one jab is no reason for complacency.
This is what I was talking about 9 deaths:
//bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-d....
Oh dear, that is actually a different one. The one I was referring to is called Holmesley in Sidmouth. I can’t copy the link on to here for some reason.
Yes, I think Holmesley had one death and others poorly. Saw that one as well as the Exmouth one with 9 deaths and some still poorly. Thing was they'd all had their first jabs which were meant to protect them to a certain extent. I guess someone unwittingly took the bug in to the home.
C ovid free for 11 months vaccine arrives in January and this happens in february
I really do not think that has any relevance. The jab cannot give you COVID.
I think we have to bear in mind that this was a home which specialised in caring for Dementia patients - very challenging to deal with in normal circumstances but these people are also very frail, very near end of life and therefore much more vulnerable to any infection. Living in the town it was quite worrying, however, there doesn’t seem to be a rise in cases outside of this outbreak, as far as can yet be seen.
You also need +3 weeks post 2nd dose before you will find immunity. OH & I went for testing of immunity after OH had just had his 2nd jab and had a very marginal response. We’re going back for another test in 2 months.
This is not a one off. It is happening in other countries too. It is possible that because all vaccinations cause a temporary drop in the immune system that people are more vulnerable to catching any virus that is present immediately after vaccination and greater precautions need to be taken. It might be a good idea to test vaccinators for covid on a 2 daily basis to make sure none are asymptomatic carriers.
I believe that all these deaths were in people who had received the vaccine several weeks before and that, by this time the single jab should have been having the desired effect.
My understanding is that they would have already had their second jabs if the manufacturers recommendations had been followed rather than delaying the second dose.
This is happening in other places too. The Norwegian government has suspended vaccination of very old frail people due to 23 dying after having jab. They are investigating to see if there is a link. Of course the vaccine producers say it's nothing to do with the jab but given that there were hardly any very old people in the trials and probably no frail ones at all , how can they know? I read in the Guardian ( not exactly a bunch of conspiracy theorists) that the UK government is reducing testing capacity and decomissioning Lighthouse labs which has made me ( a suspicious cynic) wonder if cases are going down because they are carrying out less tests. You are right. Given that the vaccine rollout is happening at the same time as lockdown not just there but in other countries - how to tell which is responsible?
Hi Jean on the day Biden was inaugurated in USA the C dc reduced the cycle threshold of the pcr test so it was a given that CASES would drop coupled with people been locked down this was before vaccine had time to really show what it would do
To be fair the WHO advised that the CT should be reduced.
Yes reduced that's what I said
I had a covid test on Dec 11th. I was very surprised to see that the CT threshold was only 20. If all labs here in France are using that low a threshold it makes our caseload look even worse!
Things sound worse all the time I didn't realize France were using such a low threshold I've seen comments saying no pcr test no covid it makes one wonder I've been wondering since the moment this hit the news sort of like 9/11 things just don't weigh up

That’s worrying. Were the causes of death given?
jeanjeannie50• in reply to
Was covid.
I do personally think that a decent percentage of deaths will be listed as covid when it wasn’t actually covid that killed them though to be honest. Maybe not intentionally but died with covid as apposed to from covid. It’ll definitely be a percentage, the question is how large.
That is true. I’m going to a funeral this morning of an elderly (94) friend who was in a care home. Residents tested every week and my friend tested positive but with no symptoms whatsoever. Was isolated for 10 days, had a clear test etc. 10 days later she passed away due to heart and hypertension problems she had had for years and basically old age too. Son was shocked to see on death certificate covid was given as a cause. He questioned this and apparently it is law that if there has been a positive test within 28 days of death then covid has to be recorded as a reason. Even though she had tested negative 10 days earlier and had been the only positive case in all the care home, staff and residents alike. I firmly believe first test was a false positive. It has been a sad time for the family knowing this. x
Fully agree with you. If diagnosed with COVID and you get knocked down by a bus within 4 weeks COVID is still on the certificate. The statistics are not 100% accurate and lots of families are complaining that their loved ones death was put down to COVID when that wasn’t the cause.
I agree, it happens all the time.
My 91 year old mom died a day after getting the Moderna vaccine but the cause of death was considered to be heart failure, which she did have. We’ll never know for sure. The vaccine could have pushed her over the edge.
My mum is in a carehome, day after her jab she had a TIA and has had another since then too...I did wonder if jab has caused this , but she is on end of life also 🤔
It's so difficult to know the answer to that isn't it. Not a good time for you at the moment and you have my sympathy. Mum's are so precious.
Thank you Jean it’s wicked watching her laying there waiting to die 🥲
How old were they? and did they have any other health issues?
Look at the link above to BBC report.
It's already known that dementia patients are more likely to die from Covid and more likely to catch it + the vaccine is only 80% effective so that leaves a 20% gap.
Wow apparently nursing home deaths are on the above average in various places that says a lot
Pfizer 2 weeks ago. No side effects except sore arm for about 24 hours.
Had Moderna late Tuesday afternoon. Felt fine the rest of Tuesday but began to feel weak Wednesday and started into an afib event late Wednesday afternoon. With use of Dilt it's slowly fading now.
Had Oxford just over week ago. Felt achy and tired for a day, but then all ok.
Where do you live? I live in British Columbia Canada and I am 58 years old. I will not receive my vaccination for 2 to 4 months, if I’m lucky.
I have had the my second one now . Both of mine were the Pfizer, no problems at all , tiny sore arm ,
Had both Phizer shots now, second one done weds this week. First one in January , pain in arm and flu like for one day on first vaccine shot, nothing much at all. Second shot , and on the second day yesterday, felt like flu, had a few palpitations, fatigued a little off in general . Just took paracetamol as doctor advised every fours hours, extra magnesium and early to bed, happy to say slept well, all good today. A little bit of soreness in arm, nothing to worry about at all, similar reaction to cold / flu when your immune system kicks in, worth it to negate the risk of Covid in my opinion .
Had mine 4 weeks ago Astra Zeneca no issues what's so every better than the flu jab when offered go get it do
Moderna, two weeks ago in Greece. Slight sore arm for a couple of days and some tiredness. Slight sniffling ten days after.
AZ a week last Monday. No issues
AZ 8 weeks ago. No reactions. Bring on the second one!
How do you know that?
I’ve been reading through the comments and thought I’d add this.
As the first dose of both vaccines available in the UK needs at least two weeks to even begin to work, it’s not surprising that there will be cases occurring after vaccination.
In this video Dr John Campbell covers the subject of the withdrawal of the AZ vaccine in parts of Europe ... he explains why he’s not concerned and is very reassuring 😊

As per usual, a good clear analysis of what is really happening in this pandemic. I just wish the anti vaxxers and nay sayers would watch this and take it on board.
To say that the side effect of thromboembolism is not listed as a side effect of the vaccine is a bit disingenuous. It would be more accurate to state that this was not found in the clinical trials. According to clinicaltrials.gov there were 32,459 participants enrolled for the Astra Zeneca trial. Around 20,000 people were assigned to the vaccine arm. The whole point of post marketing surveillance for any medical treatment whether it be device, drug or vaccine is to look out for side effects that will arise in larger populations that would not have shown up in the trial because the sample was too small. Another thing that "naysayers" could point out is that there has only been a few months of safety data on these vaccines. The clinical trials are actually not due to end till late 2022 and the final results not due till 2023. Anybody who is vaccinated before then is taking part in an enormous phase III trial. This has not been made clear to the populations taking part ( which actually is in contravention of the Nuremburg laws) And so you can go ahead and label me an "anti vaxxer " I would like to point out that the cases of narcolepsy attributed to the Pandemrix vaccine for the H1N1 flu pandemic in 2009 did not manifest themselves till 2/3years afterwards. Quite frankly I would trust the judgement of the Danish government anyday over that of the current UK government. A fourteen day suspension of one vaccine ( presumably vaccinations with the Pfizer one are still going ahead) to investigate is not unreasonable . Especially as the Danish response to the pandemic has been far better than most European countries. 411 deaths per million of population compared with the UK' s 1,837.
Had the pfizer two weeks ago. Felt tired but otherwise fine.
Not received it yet - live in N. Ireland (UK) and I am in vulnerable group (aged 59 and have HCM/Hypertension/AF). Phoned GP and they said they have 1400 people in vulnerable group in practice so probably have to wait for my age cohort to be vaccinated - probably next week
Had the Pfizer 4 weeks ago. No problems, just sore arm for a short time.
Astra Zenica 10 days ago. A bit groggy the day after, but no afib, thankfully.
Oxford vaccine 6 weeks ago. Flu like symptoms next day.
Pfizer 6 weeks ago. No after effects.
AZ 5 weeks ago - bit fluey for a couple of days but no other issues, roll on number 2!
Pfizer 6 weeks ago
I had the Oxford one. Had all the side effects that were listed. This was a week ago last Tuesday. Still feeling the effects but so glad I had it and will still go for my 2nd one. Seems the Oxford one affects women more.
Pfizer two weeks ago. First jab. Sore arm for few hours that's it. Husband had more reaction , headache,groggy , nauseous for 24 hours but fine then x
I had first jab 3 weeks ago, Pfizer. Didn’t feel the jab and had no after-effects other than felt a bit sleepy later in the day.
I had the AZ at the end of January so 6 weeks’ ago. Didn’t hurt and I didn’t bleed despite being on Riveroxaban. Felt a bit shivery that evening as if I might be coming down with something and just generally ‘off’ the following day but otherwise no change.
Pfizer, 5 Weeks ago.
Well that was some night. Had the AZ jab around 13:00 yesterday. Was fine up until 20:00 when started to shake uncontrollably, then found myself wrapped in a winter robe in bed with the duvet wrapped round me. I’ve had proper flu twice before and this was exactly the same symptoms. Not a nice night at all. No sleep and bed drenched. I was told younger generation will have a much stronger immune reaction so hopefully this means your body’s prepared for the fight if do get covid. I was fully expecting to go into af last night as well and was dreading having to cope with that as well but thankfully didn’t happen which is a definite positive.
Had Oxford vaccine 4 weeks ago today 12/03, no problems at all. A few people there asking for appointments for their partners who had changed there mindsStay safe everyone
I had the Oxford, not because of my heart condition but because I am a registered carer, (it seems to be a common loophole). I felt dreadful for a week!
Hi -- I had both shots, Pfizer, here in the States. The first caused no problem except for minor swelling and itching at injection site. The second caused chills, headache and nausea for about 8 hours, but no problems with injection site. A small price to pay!
I read what I think must be the transcript of this - very worrying.
What bugs me is people don't seem to be able to see whats going on and accept ridiculous excuses time is going to tell
How are they getting away with this
I have been following londinium👍👍👍
Exactly echoing ,, people not thinking for themselves rhyming the one narrative I'm surrounded by people like this they seem to have lost their ability to look outside the box i dont have all the answers but what i see and hear isnt right
I have checked and can find no reference to doctors receiving financial incentives to vaccinate. I quite believe that in the early days of the pandemic deaths were written off as COVID-19 but again I can find nothing to verify that they were paid to do this.
We had our first one on January 18th it was the Pfizer. We didn’t have any side effects other than a sore arm.
There’s a lot of scaremongering going on here
It is not scaremongering. It is providing information.
Just my opinion! Which I’m entitled to !
I agree. It needs investigating. Probably be brushed under the carpet. There are reports of similar things in Germany.
You are right. Labelling people "anti vaxx" is a convenient way to brush aside their concerns and legitimate questions. I think it is wrong that people are not being told that these vaccines have not been given the normal approval ( because the clinical trials are not yet complete )but an emergency approval which could actually be withdrawn at any time. Because the trials have not been completed those getting the vaccine are part of an ongoing trial. Most people probably are so keen to get the vaccine they wouldn't care but they have not been properly informed.
Pfizer -- both shots; no issues whatsoever.
Very interesting, thank you. The latest post here, by John6 “a C19 question “ may be of interest.
In fairness though MHRA responded to an FOI request with thiswhatdotheyknow.com/request/...
I live in the US. Had Pfizer two part vaccine without incident. I believe in vaccines and feel a little more at ease. I continue to wear 2 masks and keep social distancing. During this time I needed a pacemaker inserted. Really didn't want to go to all those appointments. A real stressful time for me. I imagine I will always remain vigilant with virus precautions as the virus will never be gone.
I posted this on an earlier post. Some may have missed it. The doctor on the video is very qualified and likely honest. Some of his comments seem to reflect this.
The webinar in the link below could clarify the COVID issue for some people. The presenter is very qualified and likely pretty honest. British Columbia is a province in Canada. It has had some tough challenges with COVID. The webinar focuses on the world. There are specific comments about the UK and other countries.
The head of the province in which I reside told everyone to “Stay the blazes home” at times and as a result we have had very few cases and deaths - one of the best results in Canada. But we have also had a lot of freedom to do what we want much of the time. He said he could have spoke another often used word instead of "blazes" but one of his advisors said he probably should not and substituted "blazes". 😀
