Mags - -My wife and I (both in our 80’s) had both of the Pfizer shots and had no problems with either. Maybe a bit tired for a day after the 2nd shot but nothing of any concern. This was back on Mar. 3rd…
I absolutely don’t believe that any variant will be as deadly once you have had the vaccine. It may make us sick but I don’t see what all the panic is about.
I expected this Mups, and it was one of the reasons I refused the vaccine…Not only will the accumulative effects have to be taken into account, but the human immune system will (I believe) be seriously damaged by trying alter it with unknown chemicals.
No need to take a risk with the vaccine Annie if you’re one of the 64 million who have not had the virus. And there’s no reason why you should catch it if are sensible. Obviously, those people who still have to go to work should have the vaccine, and if I was still a working man and mixing with other people I would have the vaccine too, but being retired and living a reclusive life my odds of catching covid, or any other airborne virus are very long indeed…
Exactly. I do just the same: avoid people like the plague! 
Thanks Dave, that’s good to know. 
Felt a bit shit after the first one but, hope the second one will be better.
I had chills and sore arm after 1st jab of astra zenica , my son also who’s 50 had the same . Lasted about 2 days . I snuggled down in bed with hot water bottle . Not worried now about 2nd jab as know it will be ok .
Some have had quite unpleasant side effects I hear . Some non at all
Well I intend to mix with people socially hopefully in the near future!
Once I am three weeks post my first jab I fully intend to be less paranoid when going into a shop or seeing people. One dose should give 60-86% protection. Given my violent reaction I reckon I have some anti bodies kicking around with DM boots.
Sorry Dodge but I can’t edit my original post as the option is no longer there. I have never said jab, all my life everyone I know has always called injections a jag. Never gave it a second thought that it was also short for Jaguar. 
I had my first Pfizer jab on Jan 10th with no after effects at all. My second one on March 11th. The following day my arm felt bruised but that only lasted the day. I feel a lot safer now although I still wear a mask when I leave the house. Regular sanitising of my hands too.
No need to be embarrassed. Me, being a Scot, always called it a jag too. The other Jag was just a little bit of levity on my part.
I didn’t mix much before covid Annie, but I’m not paranoid, I’m a ‘take life by the balls’ kind of guy…
My 2nd jab is happening Tuesday morning. I had the 1st Pfizer jab on the 16th of January, so it’s within the 12 week time scale.
I felt a bit flu-like a for a day after the first one. This was a few days after the injection though. It might have been because of the jab
My husband had his second jab last Friday with no side effects apart from a sore arm which lasted less than a day - his was Pfizer.
Had both of mine with no ill effects whatever after either. Still being very careful about where I go though, and always wear a mask.
Second jab for both us this evening
I had my Pfizer vaccination done on 24th January and absolutely no after affects and no sore arm either.
I have no date for the second one as yet.
This thread is mainly for those of us who have had their jabs and to let others know how they reacted to them.
We are also looking forward to people’s reactions to the second vaccination.
Please try to keep your debates and what you do or don’t like about vaccines to other suitable Covid threads in this section as it would make things easier here finding out which other members have had the jab and how they are coping with it.
Well I’d rather have a Jag than a jab.
EDIT:
Sorry Mags. I posted this whilst further up the thread. Have now seen your post. Please delete.
