Pneumonia vaccine yesteday

[Shancock]

Had my vaccine yesterday at last. Was fine apart from aching arm. Today I have upper back pain and bit tight chested also tired. Is this just a side effect anyone know? I've heard it can make you feel bit rubbish for day or two?

I didn’t I had Prevenar..I suppose it is like all vaccinations you can get a small 48h reaction..

Hope you feel better soon x

Had mine a couple of years ago, early morning, by lunch time was feeling really awful so took to my bed and slept until the following morning, when I woke up feeling fine, so yes, it can 'get you' a bit if you are unlucky.

Hello Shancock .

I had a vaccination a few weeks ago. I felt quite unwell for a whole week afterwards. Just so lethargic and feverish. Took a while for me to get over it. Just take it easy. Get lots of rest. Take good care.

I tried to book mine but was told to try again in 4 weeks as there is a national shortage of vaccine

[Hidden in reply to ScardyCat40]

Honestly..unbelievable..see with your respiratory clinic

[Shancock in reply to ScardyCat40]

Yes I had to wait few weeks for mine as they'd run out national shortage apparently. Great considering it's winter!

I had the the vaccination around 5 years ago, 6 months after having it i was in France for a holiday , i ended up in Calis hospital for two weeks with pneumonia, when i got home went to see my doc ,his reply to me asking how i got pneumonia was, it was French pneumonia, i still don`t whether he was joking or not.

As with the flu vaccine it can't protect against all of the pneumonia bugs unfortunately Whit, only the most likely ones.

Shancock, I too sufferered after the pneumonia jab. Incredibly sore arm and felt awful for up to a week. Was about 2012/13, I'd had several pneumonia in preceding couple of years & none since. P

I, too, had the booster shoot 2 days ago & my arm is really sore. Also, i’m Just getting over the lethargy that can be a side affect, so I’ve been told. I suppose it’s a small price to pay for the protection that we respitory patients need. Although I had no reaction to the initial shot - go figure! You should feel better soon; if not, contact a medical professional. Happy holiday in the meantime!
