Covid booster

I had my covid booster a fortnight ago at the NHS pop-up clinic in an indoor shopping centre. No side effects at all.
My flu jab is at Boots tomorrow.

Thanks I had mine at Drs but husband booked in chemist. Would rather be Drs but they didn't get delivery so wasted journey.

I had mine at the local chemists, this year and last year. Both times were fine.

Nanderin MrJ had his at our chemist yesterday, perfectly fine.

Has anyone had their covid at a chemist.

Had flu and Covid vaccinations on Saturday. Very tired yesterday and ' under the weather ' went to bed at 8pm , feeling better today. One arm
( Covid) is red and sore but other than that all us well. .

Lizzyb, I have finally decided, no covid jabs for me. From now on my own immune system will take control. I have had them all up to now and just cancelled the next one.

Flu yesterday ,really tired and achey today,but at least my arm isnt sore.

Same here today , Shelf life. Except flu in left arm, COVID in right arm.
Feel fine so far, no reactions.
Yep, fingers 🤞 crossed..

Had flu and Covid vaccinations today, flu in right arm Covid in left. So far so good ! Was anxious about having both vaccinations and was asked if I wanted them a few weeks apart, but decided to go for it. Feel absolutely fine - fingers 🤞.

I found this report about your condition, Netherby.

I too have multiple allergies to medication, but my reaction was to Astra Zeneca, which was later found to be unsuitable for those who are immunosuppressed.
Once I changed to Pfizer, the side effects were much less.

Sorry to hear that, Netherby. It sounds awful, and must be really uncomfortable. Are the doctors certain that it was the vaccine that caused it?

How awful for you?
Did you report it to the Yellow Card site?

I did twice, because it helps the scientists in their research into side effects of the vaccines. However, it t still won't prevent me having more vaccinations.
I'm between a rock and a hard place.

Sorry to hear that, Netherby. It sounds awful, and must be really uncomfortable. Are the doctors certain that it was the vaccine that caused it?

the COVID booster has left me with a horrible condition for which there is no cure - Hives and Angiodoema. 18 months ago - not a word from the government about possible side effects. I take 6 amti histamine daily which, of course, make me drowsy.
The gift that keeps on giving!
No more vaccines for me, thank you.

Not so simple as some posters are suggesting. The Pfeiser booster 18 months ago has left me with a horrible condition for which there is no cure - Hives and angiodoema, all day every day ; I take 6 anti histamine daily which, of course, make me drowsy. We were under great pressure during the COVID crisis to get vaccinated without a word about possible side effects. See REDDIT discussion forum if you don't believe me.
I call it, sarcastically, the gift that keeps on giving.

‘Flu last Saturday, no ill effects, COVID on Thursday, again no side effects. My OH had both yesterday, and said he felt a bit ‘hot and cold’, but he’s gone to his Thai Chi class, so can’t be feeling too rough. We both had the Pfizer vaccine. I do hope those who are feeling unwell get better soon. 💐

lizzyb I feel much the same. I've booked mine as I know I should have it done but I'm in two minds about it. I have been lucky and not caught Covid, but I'm well aware that others have suffered. I probably will have it, like I had my flu jab today and wondered about that right up till the nurse stuck the needle in.

According to gov.uk Covid boosters provide immunity 7-14 days following vaccination

Thank you Doodledog and Marydoll.
We’re having a lovely but very busy time. Thank you so much for your lovely, kind wishes.

LFT was negative. So will go out tomorrow. Think I got off very lightly symptom wise. But very glad had my Covid and my flu jabs.

maddy, I hope you are having a lovely time with your family!

My partner and I had our covid/flu jabs yesterday afternoon, I have two very sore arms, and partner seems unaffected.

I had my Covid jab on Wednesday . And when I did my LFT test like I have to every Saturday as part of my health care. I must have been incubating Covid when I had my jab . I couldn't believe I tested positive so did the test again. But apart from feeling very tired and my limbs hurting worse those where my only symptoms. But I strongly believe have the Covid jab helped lesson my symptoms.

And no you can't get Covid from the jab as it's not an active vaccine. Will test this morning to see if I still have it or not.

To be honest the cold I had a couple weeks ago was far worse than having Covid. (I tested when my cold started as I felt so ill but it was negative so just a cold.) But I put that down to always having the Covid jab and my flu one. I started wearing my mask again last week and glad I did as it protects others also keeps my face warm.

Only had sore arm for 2 days with both flu and covid jabs.

Enjoy your time with your family, -*maddie*. I had mine on Friday too, and had a similar reaction to you by the sound of things. It’s fine now, and I’m pleased I am protected for another 6 months.

I had my Covid vaccine on Friday afternoon. By Saturday afternoon I was not feeling 100% but by Sunday I felt ill. On Monday I was better, which is a good job since my daughter and her three children were arriving from New Zealand on Monday afternoon and so it’s pretty full on in the house at the moment.
