After feeling pretty rank early hours of Fri AM (aches, chills and a fever) I'm feeling quite a bit better, it certainly beats the alternative anyway.

Maybe that's it but I'm pretty sure she said it after I told her my medication. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems to be rather over-cautious. My missus actually works with the Imms Teams for schools and those nurses say it's neccessary for Pfizer because of the newness of the type of vaccine but AZ is modded older tech and they know how it reacts pretty well and any alergic reaction will occur pretty much instantly. It depends on the issuing team though and their "corporate" advice, which seems to be based on not being sued rather than actual science. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, after my AZ it was 'suggested' that I might want to give it 15 minutes before driving, but the guy did concede that if there was going to be a reaction it would already have happened. In the end I stayed for ten, chatting to the previous recipient about prog rock bands. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arm is heavy right now though but hopefully nothing more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was like having the aches from a bad cold, nothing major. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sidcow Posted March 13, 2021 VT Supporter Share Posted March 13, 2021 Over 1.5m now had their second jabs. They are ramping up daily now. It will only be a few weeks more and all those at risk over 70's will have had their seconds too. I'm sure I read somewhere that they've made changes to the Pfizer storage and transportation requirements that make it easier to move about than it was in the early days too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Genie Posted March 13, 2021 Share Posted March 13, 2021 My wife’s arm is still a bit tender after 9 days, getting there slowly but must have had some kind of mild reaction. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snowychap Posted March 13, 2021 Share Posted March 13, 2021 (edited) I'm not sure why people are concentrating on or concerned with mild short term reactions. Even if they're more than mild, if they're short term then they're not really of any significance. Edit: other than to 'perception'.

Its just a bit of feedback as the majority are waiting go have theirs. People have asked about how others have got on with them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think relatively speaking, big outbreaks of blood clots and brain hemos are minor. People are dying because of the AZ vaccine. I had a brain hemo at my uni days. If I were offered the AZ vaccine tomorrow I'd laugh at it. Not touching it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
