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

Mars Bar · 12-08-2021 08:07PM

I was having morning headaches regularly after the J & J but they seem to have eased off.

My arm still hurts though and it's 2 weeks tomorrow. It feels like she went up quite high with it.

It can take 12 hours for side-effects to kick in. Report back tomorrow! 😉

Pfizer

First dose: No side effects

12-08-2021 08:35PM

First dose - sore arm for two weeks, tiredness.

Second dose - insomnia for two nights, man flu symptoms for a day.

Pfizer:

1st dose sore arm and bit of a headache.

Got the 2nd dose today at 3.25 and just a mild headache so far, not even a sore arm. I'll take that!

Issues with vision are listed as a side effect.

Pfizer Dose 1 was in the early evening not much to report there, slight nausea and feeling of being unbalanced about an hour after it for about 20 minutes, great sleep that night.

Dose 2 was a morning appointment nothing felt that day, but intense dreams that night. Not unusual with a vaccine or when sick as your body's immune response kicks in, mad dreams could also be from running a low grade fever which inhibits your brains ability to control sleep. Day 2 bit of a headache and flu like muscle pains, but no remarkable temperature. Intense dreams again but woke up feeling fresh, finding that I get tired more easy during the day.

Obvious sore arm from both after puncture wound.

smurfjed · 12-08-2021 09:48PM

AZ first time, PF second time, no effects

22meehoovereinenschaft22 · 12-08-2021 11:05PM

I decided against getting inoculated as the side-effects could well be more damaging than the virus itself. It's a toss-up that everyone should weigh up for themselves individually, based upon age, co-morbidities, health, etc.

I obviously don't have any side-effects to report.

Nozebleed · 12-08-2021 11:41PM

i'm booked in to get my 1st dose at 5pm tomorrow. but having read this thread from start to finish...there's just no way im getting it. anyone who refers the side effects listed on this thread as normal is mad.

12-24 hours of mild side effects are worse than death?

Also my main side effect was a sense of relief and is very long lasting so I suggest you take off the tin foil hat and roll up your sleeve like all the rest of us

you didn't get any side effects so it's grand? there's someone talking about loss of vision above and the issues with heart inflammation don't exactly sound trivial

What happens then if they get covid again? or the next time they have a booster?

Leftyflip · 13-08-2021 07:40AM

I got the Pfizer jab.

First dose I got the usual sore arm and fatigue for about a week.

Got my second dose yesterday morning and I was in rag order by half nine last night, fever, chills, muscle pain, headache and insomnia.

All this just for a pint inside, eh?

If you think the side effects are bad, wait until you hear about this thing called covid. It's left millions dead. If you've calculated that the sane option is to take your chances with a disease who's side effects are much worse than the vaccine, then who are we do stop you?

Compensation scheme now being established for victims of vaccine injuries.

Kewreeuss · 13-08-2021 10:55AM

Another gravy train I suspect, unless there is a minimum entry or maximum payout levels built into the scheme. Will that happen? In Ireland? Will there be a definition of what a vaccine injury is, and that’s all that can be claimed for ?

Which is nothing to do with the Covid vaccine , but a more general redress scheme covering all Vaccines historically.

Also from that same article

The State’s medicines regulator, the Health Products Regulatory Authority, had received 13,529 reports of suspected side-effects of Covid-19 vaccines by August 3rd out of 3.14 million doses administered to that date.

That works out at about 0.4% of people with "suspected" side-effects , so 99.5%+ of people have no significant reportable issues so far.

That seems like a pretty reasonably trade-off to shutting down the spread of Covid to be honest.

growleaves · 13-08-2021 11:31AM

'Which is nothing to do with the Covid vaccine , but a more general redress scheme covering all Vaccines historically.'

I know that mate, it's in the article. However could not people injured from covid vaccines also use this scheme in the future? This story is front page headline news in the middle of a national vaccination roll out.

Kewreeuss · 13-08-2021 11:46AM

While it is a general vaccine redress scheme, it does seem that COVID provided the impetus to finalise it, in the expectation that there would be COVID claims. However, the state will settle the claims with the individual, but in the case where the pharma company is at fault, does the state pursue them?

I don't think they would be able to pursue the pharma companies, since these companies were given full legal indemnity. The compensation money will be wholly taxpayer-funded afaik.

They didn't get full legal indemnity. They are indemnified against "unexpected adverse effects". Any issues relating to manufacturing errors, non adherence to GMP practices and any issues with the product not dealt with in good faith by the manufacturer is on them.

Its also with baring in mind that its "unexpected adverse effects". So you cant claim to 2 days missed work for having a slight fever and lethargy

Nothing wrong with mentioning it, but agree, hard to draw conclusions. Personally know one guy/friend, no cardiac history now with cardiac issues after second shot, two normal pregnancies, stillborn shortly after second shot, plus a couple of hospitalizations with massively swollen arms/loss of feeling use of fingers.

As best can tell Ireland doesn't have an official mechanism for recording adverse reactions to these. So had a long look at the EU EudraVigilance site: European database of suspected adverse drug reaction reports - http://www.adrreports.eu/en/background.html

Cumbersome to get the info line by line but an 8 hour airport stopover during the week, passed a bit of time. As of last weekend, up to 07/08/2021 (Updated weekly). The official EU total reported reactions, from all 27 categories the reactions are listed under, for the four experimental vaccines (experimental being the EU description), MODERNA (CX-024414), PFIZER-BIONTECH (Tozinameran), ASTRAZENECA (CHADOX1 NCOV-19) JANSSEN (AD26.COV2.S)

Reactions : 2,018,233

Deaths : 21,310

Not Recovered/Resolved : 527,218

Yes, EudraVigilance site: European database of suspected adverse drug reaction reports - http://www.adrreports.eu/en/background.html

Category: "Eye disorders incl. " 32,770 reactions, 10,890 Not Recovered/Not Resolved

Every post vaccine event gets reported irrespective of whether there was any causative link. Now given the volume of people within the EU that have been vaccinated recently - 275 million, is it shocking to see that 0.007% have died post vaccine?

Also, where is this "experimental" EU description of the vaccines. They are fully compliant with established mechanisms for approval of drugs

JEC · 13-08-2021 01:38PM

By the same token, given the age profile of Covid deaths in Ireland over the last 18 months, is it shocking to think that many of the deceased may have died post Covid postive test status without Covid playing any direct role in their death?

Of those who consumed water three months ago in the EU, more than a million have died since then.
