I had my jab a week ago felt like crap for a couple of days after and had a sore arm for about 4 days but all back to normal now. I heard people with chest problems may have more side affects. The jab won’t kill you Covid could

I had mine a fortnight ago, sore arm for a couple of days and felt under the weather for 4 days, also headache for a day afterwards. I say go for it. The jab won't kill you, but Covid could. It's a no brainer really.

Had my vaccine on Thursday. I also have severe Copd and Anxiety.... I realised that as a shielder, My fear of covid was bigger than the vaccine. I had no side effects other then a meltdown directly afterwards. (Anxiety) but slightly nauseous following morning but also could have been anxiety. I feel such a huge sense of relief as now I feel that if I do get Covid I have a fighting chance of surviving, which I didn’t before. I have spent almost an entire year hiding away from the world in tears. And yesterday I was actually singing along to a song 🎶 I was shocked when I realised. 😀. I feel as if I’ve had a gun pointed at me and now it’s been removed. Be brave everyone, the feeling of relief and hope is a very powerful one. Sending strength,courage . peace and prayers for you all.

I was the same, no problems with the vaccination itself, I was advised by the nurse to take off my mask as I was having difficulty breathing, she said that as I am exempt due to copd/emphysema I didn't have to wear one even in the hospital (I wear an BLF exemption badge) but during the 15 min rest after the jab had a major anxiety attack, the nurse and army staff were brilliant and helped me through it I cannot praise them enough.

I'm 80 year old and stage 4 COPD. I got my Chinese virus shot at my local V.A. Hospital. This Thursday I go for the boaster. The only thing I suffered was a sore arm for a day. Getting or not getting, thats up to you to decide. Innoculations have ended almost every disease thrown at us so far.

Hi, yes, do have it. I had my 1st a Month ago. Have had Chest infections since. Which might or might not be anything to do with jab. As you say though, better than getting Covid.

Hi judge, just wanted to tell you i know a guy with 4th stage lung cancer and i guess some other places also. Well hes been smoking pot ( yes smoking it) all day for 3 years. He was here roofing my house and you wouldnt know there was a thing wrong with him, up and down a ladder like he was 25. Hes late 50s. I was to say the least, amazed!!! He said he wasnt even short of breath. Said thats what has kept him going. Just thought you might find it interesting.
