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

Pfizer M 32

Bad reactions to both shots, ended up in A & E on advice from GP. Strong pressure/heaviness on chest, breathing reduced, fatigued, light headed, heart felt like it was beating strongly.

Same reaction to both shots, felt a little better around 3 weeks after the first shot, second shot exact same, both times it came after 4 or 5 days. ECG, bloods came back fine, high blood pressure after first shot.

Still feel like crap 8 days after second shot. I'd be fit and healthy and regularly work out, very rarely sick, no chance I'm taking any top ups.

4 person household

Me: Pfizer - no side effects both doses apart from a tender arm

Wife: Jansen - no side effects

Kids 16 and 18 both Pfizer - 16 year old 2 x doses no side effects (tender arm), 18 year old one dose no side effects (tender arm)

2nd dose mixed bag this time, very slight tenderness in my arm the first sign again but not as bad as the first jab, I was injected higher up the arm don't know if that makes any difference. Approximately 18 hours after the 2nd jab I woke up in middle of the night with initially a chill, soon after I developed fever symptoms with a horrible headache and sickness which went on and off for another 6 hours it was really horrible. By lunch time 28 hours after the jab I was feeling pretty good and no more side effects, arm cleared up and didn't have as much fatigue as the first jab

I received the Janssen on the 10th,exactly 12 hours afterwards the side effects kicked in. I had a fever, chills and a headache, resulting in no sleep that night. Stayed off work the next day and slept all day. Remained groggy the next two days and very tired. By the 4th day I felt back to normal. No way will I take any booster no matter what. The positive is that I now no longer give a hoot about covid or covid news.

First one Pfizer - sore arm for 36 hours nothing else

2nd one yesterday. Holy moly. 10 hours later I got what I can only assume is a migraine. I thought my head was going to burst through my skull, started vomiting, hot and cold sweats. Got some strong pain killers and stomach tablets into me. Had a high heart rate (90-100 while seated when I'm normally 55) for hours and then weak all night. I walked upstairs and had to lie on the floor because I felt I was passing out. This morning I feel a bit better headache and nausea are gone. I'm still very weak though, walking around, I have to sit down after five mins. Weirdly I have a horrible taste in my mouth, a little metally? Every time I eat and drink its like there's a penny in my mouth :( anyone else get that?

Either way I'm very very pro vax but it'll defo make me think twice about a booster. I get the flu vax every year, nothing like this. Maybe talk to the doc about a different type or something. But out of my family and friends I'm the only one who had this bad a reaction so I'm not trying to scare anyone most people were just a bit tired.

Male 37 - Moderna vaccine

1st dose. Slight sore arm no issues after first day

2nd dose. Just yesterday. Arm is really sore. Very hard to move it. Absolutely no energy or motivation at the moment and I feel a headache coming on.

I've had the flu jab anually and never had any issues. I will not be taking a booster shot.

Nearly a month on from second dose of Pfizer I have persistent arm pain that is just not going away

1st shot of Pfizer sore arm that day and next day felt tired mostly. About a week and a half after my shot started getting pins and needles in my hands in the mornings, would wake me up and at roughly the same time. I try to sleep in different positions to try and prevent it. Stiffness and achy feeling moving my fingers, find it hard to open things, feeling heaviness.

Got my second shot sore arm felt very tired the next day, headache. But my hands felt good none of the above complaints. But about a week and half afterwards the pain came back in my hands don't have the pins and needles every morning.

Anyone experience this?

Nope, GP not interested - would be surprised if he knows how to be honest.

Just as a follow up felt completely fine 48 hours later. Bizzare ha! My arms is still a slight bit sore but other then that feel grand.

Female 35

Pfizer

1st dose, sore arm.

2nd dose, sore arm.

On Wednesday I started to get the same pain in my thighs which is still here... Has anyone else has leg pain??

do they make the adverse reactions available to the public to view?

27yo Male. Pfizer Vaccine.

1st dose - sore arm the day after.

2nd dose, sore arm the day after. Flu like symptoms (muscle aches, headache). Took paracetamol as advised and felt ok that day.

Felt ok the day after. I thought I was clear until the day after where I began to develop a twitch around my eye and started to feel chronically fatigued (like I had been taking sleeping tablets, the tiredness would wash over me out of nowhere…). Have had to take daily naps even though I’ve been getting 8+ hours sleep. Last night I had really bad night sweats (which has never happened before). Felt like someone poured a bucket of water on me! It’s been a week to the day now and I’m feeling slightly less fatigued, the twitching has reduced a lot. Haven’t heard of similar with anyone I know.

I was lucky, I had weird dreams after my 1st shot of Moderna and none after the 2nd..

I had occasional pain in the shoulder that I was vaccinated in after the first dose. Sometimes severe pain. Was it a side effect? Its possible. I would still get vaccinated though. It went away with painkillers.
