COVID 19 jab
Hi everyone just wondering what everyone is doing about get the COVID 19 jab? I’m booked in for my first dose but having second thoughts with the blood clotting that’s happening, I am over 60 so I’m o...
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?
