I had first AZ jab 3 weeks ago. I was fine until 10:30 pm when I got cold shivers. Next day pretty crook in bed with cold shivers, four days of exhaustion afterwards. Arm was sore for a couple of weeks. This week I had my flu shot and that jab has woken me with very painful arm each night since (so I’ve two sore arms🙃) and a lingering, gentle headache.
For what it’s worth, @FLClover, I’d recommend vaccination against COVID-19. I have lots of allergies/severe reactions (to opiates, GA, codeine and - since chemo -dexamethasone), and am very wary of taking anything. BC forced me to do chemo, an op (Anaesthetist gave me non-GA alternative for op), radiation and now endocrine therapy.

I had my first flu jab (ever) last year so I could visit my 88 y.o. Mum (rules of where she lives). I agree with whoever said that about having got cancer, one feels one is already in the unlucky minority, so best not to chance it with Covid-19 or flu.
On a slightly different note, since SARS, Hong Kong people don a mask if they are unwell and must go out - for the good of their community. Why can’t Australians behave like that?
