Side effects after jab or coincidence?

Good morning!

I had my first Astra Zenecca jab four weeks ago. (For which I am grateful!) In the last two weeks I have had an acute gum infection, oral thrush and now a UTI. Might this be the vaccination affecting my immune system or a pure coincidence? Just thought I'd ask in case anyone else has had a similar experience.

Probably coincidence but who really knows. Have you reported it using the Yellow Card scheme in the UK?
