Over 20 Get your jab here

Had the astrazeneca jab on Sunday at 5pm.
Felt ok Sunday night apart from feeling very hot for a couple of hours.

By teatime on Monday I felt dreadful with shivers and feeling extremely cold and aching all over with a banging headache..
Took 2 Paracetomol tablets which definitely helped.

Felt slightly better on Tuesday no doubt helped again by the Paracetomol taken as often as recommended.

I've heard stories that the reaction to the 2nd jab is generally worse than to first one.
Also, there are rumours that having a bad reaction to the first jab could mean you've actually had Covid 19 previously?
If that's true in my case, then I have definitely been asymptomatic.

It's clear from peoples comments that the reactions to the vaccines are very varied.

Apparently with AZ the reaction to the first jab is worst. With Pfizer it’s the second.
 
Drink lots of water the night you have it. Avoid alcohol. Take a couple of Paracetamol if you're feeling a bit rough. Try to get a good night's sleep.

That combo worked a treat for me.
 
I also had mine yesterday, apart from being a little emotional, relatively pain free and no side effects so far, if it wasn't for the bruised arm I wouldn't know.

Very similar here.

I had mine around a week ago and felt fine on the day. I woke up early the next morning freezing cold and aching everywhere. The next day it felt like I had the hangover from hell. On the plus side there was no arm pain at all.

The day after I was 100% fine.

Yep, as hoped. I feel so much better today, pretty much back to normal.
 
I had mine yesterday and similar to others on here, felt fine all day then at about 8pm bang, felt like i'd been hit with a cricket bat, felt weak and became really cold but was boiling, awful nights sleep if that's what you could call it and woke up with a hangover from hell but with no alcohol drank, as day's gone on i've picked up and started feeling ok, worth it in the end.

Yep. sounds like you got the same treatment as me. I pretty much said the same yesterday (had mine Tuesday), and feel absolutely fine today. You'll sleep well tonight and wake up feeling good tomorrow.

Jeez, I spoke too soon, woke at 3am, aching and shivering, couldn’t get back to sleep, temperature and headache to boot today, working from home, so battled through to about 2pm, then went back to bed, just got up now.......this is horrendous....😒.....actually worse than COVID itself which I had last month.

Maybe you've reacted worse because you've had Covid already.

Someone else said that today, talk about a double whammy....😒

There was a study on the Pfizer jab, and "about a third of vaccine recipients who had previously had Covid reported having a whole-body side-effect (such as chills), compared with 19% of those who had not had Covid".... So looks like there could be

I had the AZ but probably the same principle, hopefully not as bad 2nd time round.

Indeed. I was assuming it would probably be a similar principle. Interestingly, there's a difference between the two vaccines as to when people get the worse side effects. Apparently for the AZ it's more typically after the first dose, but for Pfizer it's quite often after the second.

Hopefully you'll feel better by tomorrow 👍

How are you feeling this morning? As I said in the thread further up on this one. I had exactly the same as you've described. Felt absolutely fine yesterday. (had it (AZ) Tuesday afternoon, was bad in the night, felt quite rough Wednesday and was ok again on Thursday morning)
