Had mine (AZ) this morning. To say I feel as rough as a badger's is understating it somewhat. I never react well to vaccines. I'm allergic to penicillin which they all seem to have in minute quantities. I feel a lot worse than I did after my first flu jab a couple of months ago.
I'll report back tomorrow if I'm still around to do so.
If I can make it to Europe any time soon, any pain now will be worth it.Hope you feel better.
Thanks Zep.Hope you feel better.
My sister had the same reaction to the AZ vaccine last Friday but her husband didnt. My two older brothers also had Pfizer last week and they had no issues at all. So just waiting for mine now.Thanks Zep.
Had really bad flu-like symptoms last night, woke up about 3am with a fever and chills and aching all over, but woke up this morning feeling OK. Very strange. Hope the second dose doesn't wipe me out again.
There has been nothing highlighted by the NHS with regard to adverse effects to those allergic to penicillin, I’m sure this would have been highlighted if it were a fact. Not to mention the media reaction if it were true, gloom and doom merchants. I also know someone who told the nurse that was giving him the vaccination that he was allergic to penicillin and was told it’s is not a problem, and it wasn’t !My sister had the same reaction to the AZ vaccine last Friday but her husband didnt.

PS I'm also allergic to penicillin but according to the nurse at my local medical centre it shouldnt make any difference at all. So fingers crossed.
I agree. Just want to get the vaccine now. Hopefully in the next couple of weeks.There has been nothing highlighted by the NHS with regard to adverse effects to those allergic to penicillin, I’m sure this would have been highlighted if it were a fact.

And to be honest, if I were to have a similar reaction that only lasted one night I would not consider that a big deal compared with the potential consequences to not having had the jab.
When I had my first jab they were concerned when I mentioned I have a bad allergic reaction to nuts!There has been nothing highlighted by the NHS with regard to adverse effects to those allergic to penicillin, I’m sure this would have been highlighted if it were a fact.

My son has a nut allergy. Which vaccine did you have?When I had my first jab they were concerned when I mentioned I have a bad allergic reaction to nuts!
Not bad enough for a EpiPen, but not far off..
I had the Pfizer jab, except for a sore arm for a couple hours ..Nothing!

The Pfizer!My son has a nut allergy. Which vaccine did you have?
...Been advised to wait three to six months for the booster, as nearer six months boosts the efficacy according to the Lancet. Quite considerably too....
Mine should be due soon. Fingers crossed!
My social media used to be full of :
"that evil toff moron Boris is trying to kill us all by delaying the 2nd dose, when doing that hasn't been tested by the trials, and against all medical advice, just to try to scam the international vaccination league tables"
Now it is full of:
"that evil toff moron Boris tried to kill us all by delaying the 2nd dose, and its no defence that he turned out to be right and that a longer gap is quite effective, and possibly better"
Same like the evil toff Boris should have gone with the EU purchasing program. Profit over people again, I guess.
All he cares about is his rich Bentley-driving chums.
