Vaccine Side Effects - What side effects did you get from your vaccine?

With all the side effects mentioned, are people happy to sign up for a third shot?

Pfizer

1st jab hurt going in and arm was extremely sore for days, couldn’t sleep on that side. No other symptoms.

2nd jab I barely felt (I could have hugged that woman, I had been bracing myself after the first jabs crazy pain) and arm was grand after. However I couldn’t sleep that night and about 5am I got a really bad attack of the shivers, by late morning I had a temp of 100.5, shiver, stabbing pains in my legs, nausea (couldn’t eat a thing). But I woke up the next day and was totally fine - so it was a 24hr reaction only thankfully.

I got my first Pfizer jab 2 days ago and last night I experienced severe abdominal pain for 4 hours. Worst night of my life. 1 hour sleep. Almost phoned 999. No vomiting or other symptoms, just severe pain like I took a bad kicking to the stomach. Slightly better now but worried about eating. Has anyone else experienced this? I've read about nausea but that didn't really present itself except during hour 2 or 3 when the pain was really unbearable. I've no underlying conditions and in good shape physically.

Sounds like I got lucky. Very mild symptoms both times. Pfizer.

But now I'm able to travel without hindrance and feel like I am "safer"... I'll take a headache and fatigue any day with the benefits it brings.

It's subsiding now especially with Panadol and just a small breakfast. But I might give them a call to see what they say.

Yep doing better and out of hospital thanks.

No clots thank god, they had me worried when they said they suspected that cause of my bloods combined with extreme difficulty breathing.

They put it down a bad gastro reaction to the vaccine and gave me some strong stomach tablets. High blood markers they put down to my immune system just reacting to vaccine too and should go back to normal.

Having so much time to google in hospital I did come across a study from phd student in james hospital that showed 25% of people that had actual COVID had high D-Dimmer results for 4 month after getting COVID (high d-dimmer suggests possible clots), but none of them had any actual clots!

I didn't know tinnitus is a symptom. I had awful ringing in my ears a couple of weeks ago before my vaccine. Like I spent a night in a nightclub. Just one ear and no other symptoms. Lasted a full week.

Now I feel bad because I didn't know, so didn't get tested and continued on into work. But no one else around me were getting sick but I always wear my mask inside. So it just goes to show how important it is to wear face masks. You could have covid and not know about it.

I had a worse reaction to the vaccines I had to take going to the tropics a few years ago than I did to the Covid vaccine. Totally normal for vaccines to have side effects. Much much better in all cases than getting the disease of course.

Had Pfizer, first dose I didn't even feel the injection. Had a mildly sore arm that night/next day. Was gone within 24 hours & wasn't bothersome.

Had my second dose on Monday I found the injection very sore & my arm was immediately throbbing. It eased to a manageable level of soreness a while later. Woke during the night & yesterday morning feeling awful. Really bad nausea all day & just felt really unwell. Went to sleep mid afternoon & started to improve after that. I still feel tired today but otherwise feeling well again thankfully
