Had all the Covid jabs available and will continue to do so. Never had any side effects apart from a sore arm for a couple of days on two occasions.

Same here. One or two ectopics after the flu jab. Next Covid one on Wednesday.

I’ve had none of the covid jabs. Like you I’ve not had any side effects. Not even had a sore arm

Both of us had a painful shoulder from our last one that lasted for months. We’re going to ask the nurse to be a little more careful for the next one as it seems this is caused by injecting too deeply.

For the sore arm aspect:

For myself and all my acquaintances or clients:

Take a cold gel pack or even ice cubes with you to your vaccine appointment and slap it on the injection site immediately following the vaccination.

All responded with none or less arm pain!

It’s worth a “shot” 🤣

[Ppiman in reply to iris1205]

That sounds a very good idea. I have read that if the injection is given too deeply, it can cause bursitis, and I guess that's what both my wife and I had as it lasted for very many months.

Unfortunately there were problems with licensing on Friday morning when we were to receive our covid jabs and flu jabs so they weren't offered but we had the flu jab on Friday. think its better to have them separately myself. For the first time ever I had a sore arm for 2 days. Not too bad today. Covid jab to be done this Friday if there are no problems! Typical of Wales!

We'll not know the true benefits and risks of all these covid or flujabs unless careful registers and follow ups on large numbers are maintained and analysed over years [which should be independanty controlled but funded by the manufacturing license holders - that make a sizeable profit from them. This is down to inaction from the authorising regulatory bodies [MHRA in UK]
