Covid Vaccine

[jonah hart]

Hi all.
I'm really hoping someone can advise me on the covid vaccine.
My mum who's seventy as been called from the doctors to have hers.
My mum is absolutely terrified, she had the flu jab once and reacted so badly to it (really ill, sick for two weeks, hallucinating and literally couldn't leave her bed for two weeks) we had the doctors out numerous times and were told she wouldn't be able to have the flu jab again for the rest of life.
Obviously cos that was such an horrendous experience she's literally terrified of having the covid injection but also the doctor as said they cant say whether or not she'll have a similar experience with the covid one.
Can anymore PLEASE tell me of their experiences with it?
Also been told this injection does have a small amount of covid in it.
Any advice at all or experiences would be gratefully accepted x

"woofo, Olds are worried about the vaccine, and ethnic olds are even more worried. I said about the questionnaire - "5 no's and no 5 yes Rivarox." and the doctor explained she had previously spent MUCH longer on the pros and cons

and I said "I worked at Porton Down - this vaccine is very very important"

I regard vaccine refusal on a par with walking out onto a road without looking and before the green light and beeps go beep

and refusing the vaccie and getting covid is more like Russian Rouletter"

Yes I get that.....I'd take 2 weeks of "flu like" illness over dying. The symptoms that the OP describes sound like what I recall of having flu as a teenager....second time in my 40's I was more ill but didn't hallucinate. I am sort of dubious about doc no. 1's pronouncement and wonder how long ago the episode was....be cause we all know don't we that flu vaccine can't give you flu....and of course NO doctor anywhere is going to say about ANYTHING "oh go on and have it you'll be fine"
