    I had no side effects at all 

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

    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.

    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.

    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
