I have had an annual flu jab for years and 70% of the time I get a sore arm for a few days but it soon gets better & isn't anything to worry about.
I think that suffering after Jabs is often psychological fear, but very few people suffer any serious problems.
I believe it will take some time to get back to normal, when we have all had our jabs, but at least we will have some protection.
I really hope that all our members can look back on Covid as a bit of a nuisance, rather than a tragedy, and we can see the funny side of "Lock Down" in a couple of years!
What a lovely post Twink, thank you.
I did have in mind that it may help people, who were hesitant about having the vaccine, to know what the experience was like. I admit to being scared when it was first announced the vaccine was now available.... nobody would really know how it would affect them. Then I realised we see may never see the end of this in our lifetime unless we do something about it now and we both decided we would go for it and do our bit for the nation to help towards living a safer life.
I didn't sleep well last night but that's not unusual for me. Mr M slept like a log! I have a very slight soreness on my arm this morning, nothing to stop me from doing anything though and my husband has a slight achy arm, no different from any other jabs that he's had in the past.
I would urge folk to go for it if they are fit enough but having mixed feelings.
