Whooping Cough Vaccination

[salmon_finland]

I will have vac on tuesday. Is there any side effects that you had?

[jubbly]

the only side effects i had was where i got the vaccine, it was a bit red for a few days and also itchy at times too, and my arm was a but sore the day after it was done, i couldnt sleep on it. But apart from that i was fine! Im sure u will be too! In fact, just after i got it done, baby started kicking like crazy! I hate needles, but its totally for the best

Thanks for the quick reply I wonder whether you get some flu or cough?

[jubbly in reply to salmon_finland]

No i never got any of this. i done a bit of research before i got mine done, its not an actual live vaccine. Its also a vaccine against diphtheria and tetnus. The nurse who gave me my vaccine told me this.

The only side effect I had was a sore arm where the injection was - this lasted a few days.

If you're sleeping on your left side at night I would recommend having the vaccine in your right arm!

I forgot to consider this which meant I had a few restless nights!

I had a sore arm and it made me feel bit tired and bit under the weather but was fine the next day. Everyone is different x

I had nothing - not even a sore arm.

I didn't have any side effects if that helps

Sore arm but that's it, so nothing major to worry about. I did some research as I had mine 2 days before going on holiday so wanted to check I wasn't going to be poorly on holiday. It's not a live vaccine so shouldn't give you any flu like symptoms, just feel like I've been given a dead arm!
