Covid-19 Vaccinations

My friends in Malaysia are excited to be getting their Covid Vaccinations in the next week or so. They are getting the Chinese Navavax.

I understand it is a the same vaccine as their niece, a doctor in Singapore received (and where this pic came from). I forgot to ask if there is one or two doses.

Sorry about picture quality but that is the pic they sent me via Whatsapp.

Mrs. mart is OK this morning after yesterday’s 2nd AZ injection.

Hi Summer :slight_smile: I am sorry to hear that, I hope you feel better now.

I had a really bad reaction last night about 8 hours after the vaccination. It started with feeling shivery so I went to bed. I woke up and couldn’t move in was like having electric shocks and severe pain in every part of my body. I couldn’t even get out of bed and down stairs to get some paracetamol.

I feel dreadful this morning but had to get up to take Chloe out and I have a Waitrose delivery at 10am.

One strange thing, my niece and my neighbour had the same reaction and we are all vitamin D deficient as are many in the population.

An interesting observation. We take vitamin D supplements in the winter. Neither of us have had bad reactions to AZ or Pfizer so far.

Meg, that sounds very much like the reaction my son had to his first vaccination, he said his started about 8 hours after with shivers and pains. He is also on prescription Vit D tablets. Fortunately his only lasted a couple of days.

My daughter managed to book her 1st vaccination yesterday for next month. Whether she will be able to have it remains to be seen as she undergoing hospital tests but they advised her to have it.

I know the feeling Annie. Really horrible isn’t it.
You’ve got to experience it to understand how bad it is. :frowning:

Summer
, I really feel for you and hope you are on the mend a bit today.

That dizziness and nausea is the worst feeling ever. With me, it did real harm though.
I was so dizzy and the room spun, and I did actually fall. Hit my head on the freezer on the way down, then again on the floor, and knocked myself out.
Luckily a friend came with a key, and I got carted off in an ambulance. THREE times over the next 4 weeks an ambulance came for me.

Very frightening, and still not 100%. :frowning:

Hi

A reaction is good, it shows that you have some immunity already.

Good grief, Mups, I had no idea!! I do hope you get to 100% soon, that must have been so very scary!

Well that depends on what you think is a good reaction.
The doctor told me I had a very BAD reaction.

No way can I see that ending up in hospital three times was good!

Thanks Pixie.
You had no idea because I didn’t publicly go on about it at the time.

That is also why I wasn’t on here much a little while back, I wasn’t well enough. :slight_smile:

Do you think there’s something wrong with us Mups? Why do some people have no reaction but we have had similar reactions? This was nothing like any experience of a vaccine in my life. I’ve never reacted to a vaccine other than a sore arm. I have however reacted to an antibiotic and it took a long time to get over that.

With all due respect Swimmy, that is Bullocks!
It’s your body reacting and rejecting an unknown substance that has just invaded your bloodstream
:009:

Nothing wrong with you and Mups at all Annie, but your immune system has been working overtime
It’s just not right in my opinion
:frowning:

:lol::lol: It’s the way you tell ‘em

Actually, couldn’t it be your enhanced (by your first injection) immune system rejecting the vaccine?

Not really JB, people can dress it up anyway they like, but that kind of reaction is because your body doesn’t like what’s happening to it. It’s like saying your thumb swells up and turns blue so it won’t happen next time you hit it with a hammer
:009:
It’s estimated that you are going to need a vaccination every six months


I have just read up on an article by a company who produce VitaminD 3 + Vit K2 .
They claim anyone who takes Vit D without the K is wasting their money .

Your body would probably not like what is happening to it if you contracted covid 19 either OGF. Better to put up with any possible side effects to the vaccine and build up a resistance to the virus.

No, I doubt there is anything ‘wrong’ with us Annie. :slight_smile:
I don’t know what we could do about it anyway because I’m not volunteering to be anyone’s guinea pig!

When you say why do some people not react at all, don’t forget some also have Covid itself and don’t react, while others die!

I don’t know why some of us were so bad with it, but I do think it should be looked in to instead of brushed under the carpet.

How are you now?
