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

I Had the Ox-Az vac done two weeks ago and had zero side effects despite having a number of "at risk health issues". (I also had my existing international vaccination certificate stamped at the same time). I was expecting to rest for a least the remainder of the day but it was not necessary. When the Ox-Az was tested on volunteers, 50% were give a placebo. Those reporting side effects were about equal of those who were given Ox-Az and the placebo (water). Doctors emphasised that having a positive attitude helps during illness and being vaccinated. I think much of the reported side-effects are because some people are apprehensive or worried about being vaccinated.

Well now my arm is a dull ache, I slept on it a bit last night. Everything else seems fine.

Did mummy give the little brave soldier boy a nice fluffy cushion for his little arm?

I had AZ was absolutely fine.
The missus had AZ at the same time and had the chills/felt dodgy for 24 hours but then fine.

That's mean. He really wanted a super hero plaster for the wound site and a lollypop.

It's not a binary [reports|doesn't report] side effects. I doubt many who had placebos developed psychosomatic migraines and badly swollen arms, but they might well have reported low-grade symptoms.
