If it's any consolation AZ tends to cause a greater reaction with jab 1. All being well you're over the worst.

Cheers JonD,

All good today, I will book the day off for Jab 2 just in case

Had my second jab earlier
Only side effect is making me swallow a lot

Of beer

For what it's worth:

My first vaccine (AstraZ) was last Friday at 4pm
Woken by aching limbs and chills around 3am that night. That continued off and on for 2 days, feeling absolutely washed out. No feeling sick, no vomiting, no diarrhoea, appetite seemed okay.
Kept on feeling knackered and getting out of breath too easily for 5 more days, and only started to feel much better this afternoon.

A couple of friends have reported similar, one not getting her energy levels back to normal for 2 weeks.

So news today from pffizer is we will have to have a 3rd jab within 6 months!! what then a 4th 8 weeks later, but then again these huge companies don't make any money if your cured or dead do they.

I’ve got my letter and having mine on Tuesday.

Going on my experience mate make sure your off for couple days after second jab

Over 12 weeks now since my first Oxford jab, still waiting to hear when I am having my second. Any day now hopefully. No Ill effects at all from the first. Not worried about any complications as per the news. There is more of a risk from getting a blood clot from Covid than from the vaccine. A no brainer.

4 of the guys that I manage had to have at least one day off after they had it.
I’ve told the company I’ll be working from home at least Wednesday

Good Morning

Good to hear so many of our community are getting the jab. I don’t recall any objections to it, as I hear on the media. Is there just a small percentage that won’t have it?
Would you support a “ no jab, no entry” policy by the club?


Anyway I’m getting second AZ jab on Wednesday evening. Hopefully little after effects. However I am concerned since the first jab my upper left arm has still got some upper movement discomfort.

Was told today that there is a time limit as to when you must receive your second Oxford jab. You must not leave it too late apparently as it loses its effectiveness. I didn’t know this. As it had been more than 12 weeks since my first jab I made some enquiries.

Heard a few hours ago that I am to receive my second Oxford jab on Friday. 8pm ffs. Bloody hell, I’m normally on my 3rd g&t by then

Good Afternoon

I had my second jab (AZ) on Wednesday evening. nothing like the same efforts first one, was a bit tired next day and did have an hours kip at lunchtime. All in all though hardly noticeable. Hopefully will be same for others second time around!

Was your adverse reaction to the astrazenica or Pfizer? Believe the boosters will be Pfizer or modern?

Pfizer mate

Jim, when the Pfizer jab came out last Dec, a few NHS staff reported adverse symptoms. I checked and was told not to have the Pfizer but wait for the Oxford AZ. That one was fine for me. Hope it goes OK for you.
