Coronavirus - how is it/has it affected you?

I’m amazed - I have had no issue at all , not even a sore arm , trying to not to think that there isn’t something wrong when you hear of lots of people getting side affects ?

I've seldom felt more ill to be honest. Oh my word I was so cold and then so hot and thought I'd keel over en route to the bathroom! Mind you I think there is more reaction when you've already had it.

I have mine next Tuesday. Something to look forwards to I guess. I never have the flu vaccine because I react badly to it, so we shall see what happens.

Well suffice to say my immune system kicked into gear after my vaccine yesterday - had a terrible night with chills, sweats, headache and nausea and feel rough as rough this morning!

My wife was the same , got the jab on the Friday , she was fine until late Saturday night she felt unwell. She stayed in bed all day and night Sunday, fortunately it only lasted for around 24 hours. I didn't have any side effects.
I was so relieved when she got out of bed, the dishes were piling up :ROFLMAO:

I tried the take paracetamol the day before but didn't seem to help! The good thing is it only lasted about 12 hours and now I just feel like I haven't slept - oh that's because I haven't!

Purely based on how the actual virus can either have no effects at all or sadly kill people, and mostly in between, I feel it's logical that people are experiencing different reactions to the vaccine.
2 of my colleagues had it a couple of weeks ago, 1 felt fine and the other felt awful.

Individual responses and thresholds for symptoms are incredibly variable. It is a bit like an iceberg. You can have a lot of stuff happening under the water but symptoms only occur above the water.

This same thing occurs in cancer where different people experience considerable amounts of disease very differently, and I have seen patients with MS who have the same symptoms but very different levels of disease on MRI.

With the vaccine, if you experience a reaction, it probably confirms that your immune system has been triggered but it doesn't mean that you will have a stronger immunity than someone who didn't have that reaction.

Is the recipient's weight a factor ?, My wife is only 9 stone and had a mild reaction, I'm 15 stone :whistle: and had no reaction
 
In case people don't know the over 50s can now book their jab - got mine next Monday at the Home of Football (Elland Road)
 
Not long to go then for the over 45s ?. Cant say im looking forward to it though, last vaxcines i had were diphtheria tetanus and polio given in one a few years ago before a trip abroad. Absolutely knocked me for six for a couple of days so I'm expecting the same from this. Still, better than the alternative i guess...

If any of the United strikers are performing the jabs, they'll either find the wrong person or stick the needle up your backside :LOL:

Out of interest, has anyone seen any more recent figures on the impact of vaccination in Israel as they are so far ahead of everyone else with it. Used to be in the news every couple of days but people seem to have stopped reporting on it now.

A few links(click on the link, for full details) on updates, well worth a read to give some positive outlook (looking great and long may it continue):-

Dvir Aran on Twitter: "The Israeli ministry of health provided today daily numbers of severe cases stratified by age and vaccination status. There are now ~13 severe cases per 100K for 60+ non-vaccinated individuals compared to 0.4 in the vaccinated group! (2.9 vs 0.1 in 40-60yo) https://t.co/U5YTXb83os" / Twitter

Eran Segal on Twitter: "Israel: nearly fully open economy and R continues to drop The number of critically hospitalized patients is also declining https://t.co/RBGTUg88yJ" / Twitter

Signals of hope: gauging the impact of a rapid national vaccination campaign | Nature Reviews Immunology

There was another that shown only 60ish hospitalisations out of 1000 odd in one region, where people had got two doses of the vaccine, but cant remembers the 'hospital' in Israel that loaded up the data(i think):unsure:

Clearly all based on Pfizer jabs.
