I had it in November with no side effects other than a sore arm. Maybe see if you can discuss your concerns with the gp to set your mind at rest. Good luck 😊

I had mine in November also, had no side effects at all. By the way I suffer with heart palpitations too. Hope this helps you have a lovely day and take care 😊 Bernadette and Jack 🐕 xxxxxx 🌻🌻

morning thanks for your reply xx

I had one about 15 years ago and another last autumn at the recommendation of my respiratory consultant because they have updated the number of strains included. I have dilated cardiomyopathy and AF . No effects except peace of mind that I am protected against many strains of pneumococcus.

I had it at the same time as my flu jab (one in each arm) in 2020. No problems. Check with your GP to put your mind at rest.

Try not to worry, I’ve had it after 2 nasty bouts of pneumonia and sepsis, very lucky to still be here, never had pneumonia or sepsis since, fingers crossed.

Take care
