I'm 54 and had mine at the end of March. This was before the clotting issue became alarming.
I had all the side effects in the most common list for 36 hours, starting about 12 hours after I had jab. It turns out that women between 50 and 60 cop the AZ side effects more than any other group. Just my luck! However a response like that shows that your immune system is kicking into very effective gear.
I am so relieved to have had it and can't wait to be fully vaccinated on the 21st June. It's the only way out of this mess.
The way I think if it is, did you take The Pill? If so, the risk for blood clots is far higher with that. There's no way anyone over 50 is getting Pfizer anytime soon.
In the end you have to consider all the factors, including the risk of catching and possibly dying from Covid19, and decide what is best for you. However bear in mind that at some point we will re-open to the world and Covid will circulate more freely. Not being immunised at that point will be risky.
