Feeling a prick! Tales of vaccine shots for your edutainment.

Did anyone else eye fatigue problem after the covid jab, can not look at the laptop screen much longer
or maybe it was the sunny weather that caused it, not sure.

Behind eyes headache but not eyes specifically.

Father-In-Law, 82, had Pfizer jab on 31st Dec, slight sore arm for a few hours but nothing else said he felt fine.

Mother-In-Law, 78, and her son, 50, had Oxford/AZ in early Feb. A few hours later both were up in the night, both wandering around delirious and both lost control of their bladder . MIL was found lying down, which we think she fell which caused another minor stroke (she had two large ones in 2019).


I know you don't get a choice and I'm all for getting a jab, but not hearing great things about the side effects of the AZ one.

Give me the Sputnik one, comrade and it will turn us automatically into a Putin spy!

I had that as a symptom of Covid when I went down with it back in the summer. Lasted a few days.

I know 20-30 people who have had jabs of various flavours, from young (ish) carers to 50's with underlying illnesses to over 80 year olds. Not a single one has said they had a side effect worse than a sore arm for 24 hours (no more so than the annual flu jab).

Seems there is still a lot of scare mongering going on

Beats death from covid on a ventilator (if there is one available)

And yet other people have reported side effects, lets make it clear all people should take the jab (unless advised otherwise by a medical professional). The point of this thread to share experiences mainly so people didn't worry too much.

Glad you know so many lucky people! My wife and I both suffered flu like symptoms as have many others we know that had the vaccine. Sore arms for days as well. They even give you a booklet explaining the side effects and how common they are, have a read.

Obviously if you had no side effects you must have a defective immune system

I have the flu jab and normally I am ok, at worst a little tired after it.

51 soon. Asthmatic. Not even had the call yet.

They're after me, I tell's ya!

They aren't bothered if it's not severe asthma, you'll be in with the other quinquagenarians unless you chase your GP who might help you out.

Seems like Mr. Cummings might not have been lying then?!

Quite. There is clearly a major news push about "mild side effects" so nobody is put off, I feel this is slightly stretching the truth but probably justified.

was injected with AZ two weeks ago.
sore arm for a day.
the only other thing is i can now find my way around London effortlessly

Thanks for sharing all the symptoms.

By the time I get the vaccine I should be permie so I'm very much looking forward to taking sick days and milking it for as long as possible.
