COVID 19 jab

The things I’ve stated here are facts. I’ve done research to make sure they are. And I recently watched a very interesting video by a highly respected Indian woman, I forgot her name, who explains what’s really happening in India and why certain people want their hands on it. I also have friends and ex’s family in Brazil, so I’m aware of what’s really happening there too. The mainstream media is not facts, it’s attempted manipulation on a grand scale on the mass population. 

We are all entitled to opinions, but entitlement doesn’t make them fact. I find it hard to understand how anyone could see what is happening in India and Brazil and be so carefree. But 

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 AZ jab 10 days ago the only side effect is a sore arm still there 
My 92 old mother in a nursing home had her 2nd jab today Pfiser

@Sister I had the AZ back in March (I’m in my 40s). No side effects whatsoever so don’t worry too much. All the best 😊

The figures don’t actually change much! A third unwilling is 33.3%, which means 66.7 are willing! One sounds more positive than the other. But in the UK the unwilling number is down about 7%. As of yesterday, less than 65,000 Australians had been fully vaccinated. We have a long way to go! 

@Sister, I had minimal side effects.  Had it on Saturday afternoon, hit the couch the rest of the day and had a lovely excuse to do very little the rest of the day.  At worst was a little achy, that’s all. I have had worse flu shots....  Just made sure I kept up with the Panadol.   :)
We are all different, don’t panic, just try to pace yourself for a couple of days as with any vaccine.
@Afraser, on media watch this week they deconstructed the 1/3 number, and found that it was more like 70% DO want to get it ( phew )
@Halla if you have had any lymph nodes removed, be careful in the sauna , too much heat can lead to Lymphodena .

@Sister you might be just fine! It’s unpredictable.

 My effects started about 15 hours after I had the injection FYI. I woke at 4am with headache coming on and a great thirst - I should have had lots of water and a couple of Panadol and a nurofen then, but it was 4am so I waited until morning, and by that time it was like a migraine or a bad hangover.

Too many people are waiting too long in the hope they will get the Pfizer shot before this dastard virus escapes into the community.  From what I have read, the majority of people have the jab then then next day have a day of feeling tired.  All over.  Then watch for the highly unlikely blood clots .....  I 'bit the bullet' and got the AZ, one day of feeling tired but I remain attentive to bad symptoms (I am alone so have to).  Please, ladies think and plan ahead, book yourself in - YOU are too important and must protect yourself.  💖

Bugger...I booked my shot planning (as I thought) very carefully to cause least inconvenience at work and with a clear day following in case I had to stay home.  Bloody memory...  I've only booked it the day before a student activity that I absolutely have to be there for!  And already the clinic is booked up 6 weeks further so no hope of changing my appointment.  Looks like I'll be dragging my sorry arse in no matter how I'm feeling.
