Having covid jab tomorrow

Muppets69

Hi im having covid jab tomorrow anyone had side affects please

woodbine

Most people are reporting they have a sore arm for a few days after, which is exactly what me and my wife got, other than that it's nothing to worry about, over 28.000.000 have had the first jab and over 3.000.000 have had 2 jabs and to the best of my knowledge no ones died from it. whereas 126,000 have died from the virus.

I had no side effects at all 

Some have reported sore arm and some mild flu like symptoms for a couple of days

Everyone is different dome people have side affects some people don't  common side effects are flu like symptoms  headache  feeling rough for a couple of days  some people just have a sore or heavy arm 

Some people have nothing ?

Hi @Muppets69

Sounds like you're well-prepared!

As others have said, everyone is very different - so try not to focus too much on what you might have heard about the possible side effects. You may have none at all - fingers crossed!

Best of luck and hope it all goes smoothly for you tomorrow

I had the side effects for about two days, try not to worry, get plenty of rest and drink water so you don’t become dehydrated.

Like above poster has said, rest up and drink lots of water. Take care.

I had the pfizor jab last month, no side effects except a sore arm next to the injection site. I have heard some cases of people who've had the AstraZeneca jab feeling under the weather for a couple of days, My mum had it last week and felt cold and very shaky the night after, seems back to her normal (naggy) self now though.

I'm glad your vaccination went smoothly, and that your mum is back to her usual self @Dsmout96

Hi i had the astra zenica jab sunday was really ill yesterday feel a bit better today thank god x

Lisatho11987777

Glad your feeling better now my partner had his yesterday this morning his arm is a bit sore and it aches but they told him it could take a couple of days for symptoms to come out like a fever or anything like that  his boss had his jab 2 days ago and just started with a headache and hot and cold and feels poorly 

Hopeing my partner will be ok lol

It seems that not all but most people have had side affects with the Oxford one more than the other one it is normal but I expect it is scary when you don't feel well 

Muppets69

Its really scarey but if this jab helps thats important really i know so many people thats passed so sad x
