I did, but it's pretty normal for me - my immune system throws a tantrum any time I get a vaccine and it usually makes my asthma have a wobble. The good news is that the nurse reckons it shows I have a 'good immune response' so should have a good level of protection from the vaccine. And while the latest flu jab left me feeling rough for a few days, it's nothing like as bad as I am if I actually get flu!

Every year I groan when I am notified that its time for my flu jab, as I know I'm in for a months worth of heavy colds etc in response to the vaccine ,I'm now just about over this years which has been worse than usual, but strangely the covid jab doesn't bother me.
