Vaccine

Feeling apprehensive now about having the jab when I get the notice. I had covid back in march/,April. Reading some of your reactions. I have the flu jab each year with no symptoms apart from sore arms. Fingers cross the vaccine will be the same. I was told none have a live thing in? I'm also not allowed any ace inhibitors.

It’s isn’t a live vaccine.. I had the Pfizer vaccine on Saturday. Apart from a slight headache, fatigue and a sore arm I’ve been fine and carried on as normal.

I have not had it yet but my 80 year old mum had the Pfizer last week and only had a sore arm overnight. She has the 2nd one next week.

I also had the 1st Phizer vaccine of Saturday, I was much the same, slight headache, sore arm and fatigue. Otherwise I've been fine and would recommend having it.

Hi

I too have the flu jab and have never had any side effects at all. I had my 1st Pfizer vaccine couple weeks ago. My arm was slightly tender but nothing bad at all. The next day in the afternoon I felt a little bit under the weather like I had mild flu (they do say this can be a common side effect) , went to bed for few hours and when I woke up I felt fine. No probs since. I think it’s important to note that everyone reacts differently.

It’s a personal choice to have the vaccine, so all the best with what you decide xx
