Covid-19 Vaccinations

Morti, it’s funny you should say that about the itching. Where did you itch - if I may ask - was it at the injection site, or all over?
I ask because I had the the most dreadful itching and tingling all over my scalp and down the back of my neck to my shoulders.
It was waking me up night after night, and it got to the point where I could barely comb my hair, and couldn’t have the hair dryer on anything but ‘cool’ because it burnt my skin.
Really weird it was and it was 3 weeks or more before it went.
Never had that in me life before.

Then the Flu jab made my arm swell over about an 8" area. It went crimson and burnt like hell. Had to see the doc in the end.

@Morticia

Mine was all over and kept me awake at night … like you I found getting over warm made it worse but mine wasn’t as bad as yours. It didn’t feel like ‘burn’.
At worst, it felt like someone lightly stabbing with pins.
I tell you, at the time if it had been my face or mouth I’d have been a little concerned.

It was the Pfizer booster did it. The two earlier Astra Zeneca shots did’n t do the same thing… it suddenly stopped but every now and then, even now, I can feel odd little tingles, just localised, then they vanish after a few minutes.

These skin irritations sound exactly like Mrs Fox and I suffered while having the real covid. It was impossible to stand under the shower, and it was like being pricked all over, such was the sensitivity of the skin. It lasted about five days.

@Mups … @OldGreyFox … this is where forums are great for comparing notes.

Nobody in our family group have had any adverse reactions to the vaccinations. We all have had a mixture of AZ and Pfizer.

Neither has mine scott…

I felt a bit of a crawly feeling with pfizer but just the overnight the day after the jab. It wasn’t like pin pricks but felt as though something was happening. Nothing like the reaction to the first AZ jab which was just awful.

I have a sore arm with any vaccine. I’ve had it with travel vaccines and every time I have flu vaccine. I think that’s just the intra muscular thing. Perhaps depends on your physiology as to how much you suffer. I’ve never had swelling at the site. I understand that is a common side effect of moderna.

It’s starting to feel like ‘pick & Mix’ at Woollies (that was).
I wonder what Moderna will have in store for us unsuspecting pin cushions.

My arm hurt a bit after the AZ first jab … just a sore muscle feeling.

Tht’s interesting, Foxy.
How strange, isn’t it.

Will we have choice on the next Booster? at least Flu left us alone during the Spring and Summer
