Covid-19: Coronavirus 2020

Had my first jab yesterday, Astra Zenica, feel absolute crap today, arm is ready to drop off it hurts so much, bruise showing and I am not looking forward to second one in August Hope it does not last for long ...

So sorry to hear that, Perdy. But, even that is better than getting COVID.

Absolutely, parkerman, I am taking paracetamol and ibuprofen and have given myself permission to stay in bed all day to rest and I am sure I will be just fine again in a day or two

Everyone I know who has had Astra has felt this way the next day.. It doesn't last long.. I heard the second jab is not Astra but a different one as it offers much better protection. I am not sure if that is case everywhere but in Germany if your 1st jab is Astra then you get Moderna as your second one. I still haven't got any appointment and I can't even start to go on waiting list yet.

I will get Astra again, unless they change their minds in Spain, second jab due in August. Still feel pretty bad, arm a bit sore still but better than it was, but still tired and flu like symptoms unless I take paracetamol. I understand that symptoms after second jab are worse, God help me feeling like this in August Sorry you still have to wait, Siobhan, guess it is due to the age group you are in. Hope you get your vaccination soon

Not everyone, Shiv. I had AZ and had no adverse reaction at all for either dose.

Over here, you get whatever you got for your first jab in your second jab. They are carrying out tests to see if it is better, the same or worse to get something different.
