I had the AZ exactly 1 month ago. I was very reluctant to have it, not because of the clotting issue but because of the lower efficacy. Anyway, decided that it was the right thing to do and that I wasn't going to be offered Pfizer anyway at 57 so went ahead. Of course, a week or so later, Pfizer was opened up to my age group. I felt very unwell for a couple of days - headachey, muscle aches and very tired. That did improve but I have to say that I have not felt particularly well ever since. Not bad enough to go think I've got clots but I fatigue has been shocking (and I already get tired enough), I've had so many headaches and achey legs. While this outbreak worries me greatly (good on ya, Glad), I am really not keen to get a second AZ jab. Elsewhere in the world, they are quite happy to give Pfizer as the second one after a first of AZ and supposedly, the efficacy is better than two AZ. I have a GPs appointment a few days before my second AZ so will see what he says. I don't hold out much hope but quite possibly going to cancel the AZ. Has anyone else had ongoing problems since having theirs?
