I'd definitely advise younger people to plan to rest for a couple of days after vaccination.
I was quite rough about 4 hours afterwards, building up to very unpleasant feverish night, and a day of feeling a bit feverish and delicate. Worse than any jab I've had before
I think if I hadn't had to be in the office I would probably have spent the day wrapped in a duvet feeling awful. As it was I was getting on with stuff and didn't feel too bad
What did you have?
AZ. Haven't heard of anyone having that kind of response to Pfizer tbh, although personally I've still got more faith in AZ
See, I’ve had the opposite experience from close contacts and their experience with Pfizer.
Not entirely true.
Interesting point. Why do you have more faith in the AZ vaccine than any of the others?
It's less innovative, so I'm a bit more confident on unknown long term side effect.
Only reason you wouldn't get AZ again is if you'd had a severe adverse reaction to the first. No mixing under normal circumstances
This is a ridiculous situation; it makes me feel angry reading this. Macron and others have acted irresponsibly and must take responsibility for this.
I'm not really surprised by this, given the reactions to each vaccine are different, so it makes sense. I've thought for a while that we may see increased effectiveness by combining vaccines and this only strengthens those thoughts, though it's too early to gather any data on that.
I think it's worth pointing out that the (tiny) risk of blood clotting in under 40s is exclusively after the first dose only, so as you already had your first dose, there would be no reason not to give AZ as the second.
I don't agree; the main thing is to continue vaccinating. There is no rule against mixing doses; the advice is merely to give the same one if possible and that's only because we don't yet have data on the effectiveness of mixing vaccines (which I think is more likely than not to show an increase in efficacy).
I personally do not think there is any such concern. Leading vaccination experts have said that any long term effects would become apparent within a short period of time.
I'd agree with that, and they've said some things that are irresponsible.
I wouldn't go that far. But it's a moot point in my opinion.
It's not a concern that would have stopped me getting the vaccine tbh, just something at the back of my mind, and enough to override any concerns I would ever have had about clotting
Yes thanks I have done, I've gone onto NHS site and booked for next Thursday 20th May, also booked 2nd one 5th August.
They not got any appointments in my town but have in Nuneaton which is only a few miles away.Incorrect. JCVI and DoH have recognised there is a risk, albeit much smaller, with the second dose. There have been reports of clotting associated with low platelets after injection one and two.
Apparently it was a 'queue room', which doesn't surprise me given the weather.
Where have you seen this?
Assume they cheered as it was Pfizer? If so such a shame as shows our wonderful media have managed to make another British product look like the pits and yet successive governments have been blamed for fall of certain industries. We are our own worst enemies in this country. Disgusting.
It was on the BBC news live feed
Cheers both. Seems a bit pointless limiting it to three specific wards; the notion that people only interact with people in their own town was laughable, never mind areas of a town!
