Were you poorly after your Covid jab? ?

I have my Covid jab in the morning, I’m worried about how I may feel afterwards and looking after my children...... I’m 30 female, generally fit and well. How was everyone else after their Covid jab?

    You're in the UK, right? We don't say "jab" in the US. I don't know which vaccine you're getting. After the first shot of Moderna and Pfizer, most people had an itchy spot on their arm. Some people had a slightly sore arm for a few days- like a sore muscle after a workout. After the second shot, some of us had 24 hours of muscle aches and feverish feelings. I found warm baths and aspirin helped. If you have young children, it would be a good idea to have someone help after the second shot, since you might want to just stay in bed. It was well worth the freedom I have now to go to stores and even restaurants without being afraid of catching the virus.

    It varies widely and no one can predict what you'll feel. I had quite a few after-effects, but it really was no worse than being down with the flu,.. ie; I wasn't seriously ill, just felt like crap for a few days.

    It varies. I felt a tiny bit achy after my first shot and had no reaction after the second. Other people had pain, fever, or swelling. Most people are more like me. Get the shot; it's worth it.

    Most people have minor side effects after the first Pfizer or Moderna  shot. Basically a sore arm at the injection site. Some people might have a headache or a fever. If you’ve had covid before, you might experience more severe symptoms like fatigue, headache, chills, fever. 

    Fewer people had side effects from the J&J shot. It’s mostly a sore arm. 

    The second shot is what you have to worry about but it’s only 1 or 2 days. Most of us that got the Pfizer got chills, headaches. People that got the Moderna got a fever and fatigue. Moderna people seems to be worse off than the Pfizer people.
