Astrazeneca vaccine

Queenofdisabilities

I had my first astrazeneca vaccine yesterday morning.
It says in the printed info sheets if you get symptoms its 1-2 days after.
I'm ok today but very scared about possibly getting the side effects as my immune system is very supressd.
Has anyone had side effects & if so how bad were they?
I pray i don't get them.

I had mine 12th feb and didnt have any side effects not even an aching arm 

I have heard of others who haven't been so lucky though

I had my first jab on the 28th Feb.  Had mild flu-like symptoms for 48 hours, but went back to normal aches and pains thereafter.

Janer1967 thank you so much.
A friend had terrible side effects & I have no mmune system hence being scared.

That isn't true as my printed literature confirms.
It clearly states that side effects occur 1-2 days after your 1st vaccine & can last up to 1 week.

I had my first AstraZeneca vaccine about an hour ago so it is too early to tell if I will get any side effects yet!

Queenofdisabilities

Yes I had my first Astrazeneca vaccine yesterday morning.
My nurse gave me printed info 
It says I quote you can get side effects 1-2 days after your first vaccine.

Queenofdisabilities

And it lists them as having a heavy feeling & tenderness in the arm you had your vaccine.
This tends to be worse 1-2 days after the vaccine.
Feeling tired.
Headache & general aches or mild flu like symptoms.

I had the AstraZeneca jab three weeks ago today. No side effects for me really, apart from a sore arm.

       I have no immune system to speak of because of the medication I take, I had my 1st AZ jab 3 weeks ago and didn't have a single side effect not even a sore arm. 

Queenofdisabilities

Well Richard I take a deadly cocktail of the strongest drugs available.
Plus due to the numerous many illnesses I have im so seriously run down.
Never have any energy am also extremely fatigued 24/7.
And in serious crippling agony 24/7.
Plus all my symptoms all make me so ill.
I honestly am petrified & hope & pray I don't have any symptoms.

I had mine last month, around 12noon, the following day I had a very sore arm, dizziness, chills, tired, spent the next few days in bed, was alright after 48 hours, sore arm lasted about a week. So took about 12-18 hours for side effects to be noticed.

I had mine a couple of weeks ago, I had a delayed reaction. felt sick and weak for 3 days. I had Pfizer and take biological injections. 

Hopefully you will be ok

I had an Asrtra Zeneca vaccination last Friday. I did read the leaflet on the way home, but thought I must have missed something, as, checking again today, mine makes no mention of having side-effects 1-2 days later, it just mentions possible side-effects. Well, even if it had, I woke up at 3am, so just over 12 hours after my vaccination, with a sore arm, which lasted for a couple of days; that was the only side-effect I had, tho my friend had a headache for 24 hours.

Just to reassure you, there is no mention in the medical literature so far available, that someone who is immunosupressed will have a worse reaction to the vaccine, whether it be the Asrtro Zeneca or Pfizer, than another person, tho I can appreciate you were concerned because of this.

Any vaccination may have some side-effects; they are quite often a sore arm as the injection is given intramuscularly (which is thought to be the safest way, & one causing the least side-effects) so it can hurt, particularly when you raise the injected arm above 90 degrees.

Hope you're feeling OK, & others responses above may reassure you too. Any reaction normally occurs within a few hours as myself & @MarkN88 experienced, or within a couple of days, as far as I can see too.

Everyone is different some react some don't

I have a question if the vacine isn't live why are people getting corona virus symptoms all the symptoms prople are describing  are symptoms of corona virus apart from the sore arm where the injection site is ???????

Ami2301

I'm not aware of others developing symptoms related to Coronavirus, only symptoms that are related to the flu.

Lisatho11987777

@Ami2301 that is what corona virus feels like head ache body aches feel sick giddy fever I have had it more than once  the only thing missing out the symptoms is the cough after the vacination
