Astra-Zeneca for me, first dose in March. Seemed I had already picked up Covid at that time. First jab had a really bad night of fever, chills and aches after... then Covid started not a week later and took 2 weeks to kick. Second jab, nothing.
Definitely a long Covid'er now. You'd think it hard to tell due to my already chronically ill baseline but no, this is different again, still...
What really got my Irish up was that I had actually isolated and all, like they said, for a whole year by the time I got Covid. But I had to given my ills, doing otherwise was a risk to not only me but mum and gf too. I left the house into anywhere remotely public enough times to count on one hand, mind, and all absolutely vitally necessary appointments aso (nm that this has put crucial treatment back for another year) We were so damn careful but it only takes just one contact. I wish I could say the same for so very many folks... One evening in December I was coming home from a later hospital appt, got dropped off a street from home and walked an empty road past the back of a local covered pub garden. The place was heaving, tables packed with folks but I didn't see a single mask. I knew then that this wouldn't get done with anytime soon, and there'd be wave after wave. We'd have had Covid long beat well before now but so many ppl just didn't care.

Have you started getting the subliminal messages from Bill Gates yet? Mine began 8 or 9 days after my second jab. I'm used to them by now as it's been a month or so.

Well for the likes of myself they hired a university facility to give the first one then an Olympic sports hall for the second.................
Hey 32 gang, yeah the general consensus seems to be AstraZeneca is rough on the first jab and not too bad on the second then the opposite for the Pfizer

I had the Astra both times.
First shot no symptoms other than sleeping pretty solidly for 24 hours.
Second shot, finished work a little early as had to go for a nap, but no other symptoms at all.

Exactly, same if you catch the virus, so varied. I’m really intrigued as to what underlying things trigger what responses.

Had AZ here, no hassle, maybe its just the younger youngsters can't hack it, whereas us older youngsters have no trouble or just get on with it

We've been getting the free winter flu and pnemonia jabs here (Crete) for several years now. The COVID jab really wasn't any different. A slight ache for an hour or two but that's all.
