    You'll be fine for at least a few hours if you get anything.

    I was fairly tired last night and still have a stiff arm around the needle site but nothing else to report tbh.

    I drove myself home from my first Pfizer jab. Had it done in the afternoon and only noticed a sore arm when I woke next morning. That was gone within another 24 hours and no other symptoms.

    Getting my second dose next Saturday. 3 weeks from the first. It feels good to be nearly done.

    Feeling ok after the 2nd dose - a bit heady and tired but taking two paracetamol and drinking lots of water seems to have eased any nastier symptoms, also moving the arm has helped there it's a little sore. I felt worse after the 1st dose but still not too bad!

    Two days later for me, and I wouldn't call them symptoms, I just felt very tired.

    Actually I was really tired for a few days afterwards and was in bed and asleep by 9:30. But I put that down to being flat out deep cleaning a house every afternoon.

    Deep clean of the house is on my agenda this week! 2nd shot yesterday and have a sore arm and not much else - wee bit tired but that could be just that it was a busy week. :)

    I'd say 5/6 hours after the injection I started to get a fever. Absolutely fine to drive home frkm the Sse arena. Took me about 24 hours to kick it then.

    Approx 14 hours since, and am absolutely fine. I hope I haven't spoken too soon and something kicks in during the day.

    Marvelleous job done at the vaccination centre too. In and out very quickly. Sterling job by all staff and volunteers.

    Excellent, I've my second dose Tuesday from the GP, I've been told to preempt with paracetamol :pac: My bigger worry is the arm. It was fierce stiff / sore the first time and I need to be able to lift it up on Wednesday. I've two useless arms these days but they cooperate enough for that ;) Roll on 9 days time though when I can count as a fully vaccinated household and start doing more 'fun' stuff :D

    The whole being wiped out thing sounds crap, and I'm glad I didn't suffer that. But on the plus side, you just need to remind yourself that it's a lot quicker and better than the alternative. :)
