COVID BIONTECH BOOSTER AUTUMN 2023

You could have caught a cold or flu or another viral infection in that time. Hope you feel better soon.

No reaction from either of us, there are however lots of other cold bugs around.

I had flu jab and Covid jab 3 days apart. Very sore arm from the flu and felt awful for 24 hours. Covid jab absolutely fine no sore arm no symptoms so I would say it’s the flu jab which is the culprit here just like me. Or you could have coincidentally picked up a virus, lots going round

I had both on Saturday - arms still sore but otherwise OK so far.

There is a lot of covid in the village and I have managed to avoid it so far, so was very keen to get my jab. I am sorry that you are feeling rough downnotout.

When I had my Covid jab the other week it was just call Pfizer.

Yes downnotout - I swear I haven’t felt right since my Pfizer Covid Jab - right now, I have an ear infection, which shows no sign of abating despite a course of strong antibiotics. I don’t think I’ve ever had an ear-infection before this.

My husband had the new Pfizer one - then just available for 3 days - about ten days back, along with his flu jab. He’s absolutely fine.

I had one still badged Pfizer the same day, and I’m absolutely fine too.

I have never had a reaction before, but had an upset tummy the same night and felt shivery the next day, sleeping all afternoon. The following day I was fine. However, I have had many short flare-ups of my Rheumatoid Arthritis since, making me wonder whether it has b***ered up my immune system. They are now becoming fewer thank goodness.

Me too crazyH! I have sore ears too and have not had an ear infection since I was a child. Maybe linked but as others have pointed out maybe just caught a bug over the last week. We'll never know!

I think the fact that flu and covid vaccinations are given in the autumn means they coincide with viruses that abound at this time of year. A lot of infections start the rounds as soon as children go back to school for the autumn term.

I had Pfizer previously and was pretty ill after it. I also had a Moderna and it was exactly the same.

I think I'm just going to expect I will be not very good for a few days - but if it's fine then that's a bonus.

I had the Covid and flu vaccines two weeks ago and felt fine apart from a sore arm and some tiredness the day after.

After ten days I started to feel like I was coming down with something- really achy on and off. Felt really achy to the extent of it waking me up quite a lot last night despite taking paracetamol.

I now have an upset stomach.

Never had any problems with previous vaccines. It could be some other virus causing these symptoms, of course.

No problems for either of us after Covid and flu jabs on successive days.

I'm always unwell after Covid jabs. Which is why l put my booster off until after l had various tests. Wish l hadn't as now l have Covid.

I have a horrible side effect from the Pfizer booster which i had 18 months ago. I will not be having another one.
Hives and angiodoema which I can't get rid of even with 6 antihistamine tablets daily.

Get well soon Hymnbook
