Vaccination

[jennyjoan]

Just have received my vaccination and I cannot believe it I didn't feel a thing - it felt like the splittest second of a touch - in that I was wondering did anything go in.

Nothing at all - like my sister said she felt the needle (like not complaining) but she felt it went into like a muscle.

I was waiting on her giving it to me - when she said put on your coat and go on home. Unbelievable - maybe I will have side effects tomorrow.

[bednobs]

the injection is given into a muscle, which is probably why for her it felt like it went into a muscle :)

We will think positive JJ , so far so good here and I didn't feel a thing either when I got mine earlier

[riptide]

Well I certainly felt mine and today my arm is really sore. Other than that no side effects, had the Oxford one.

If your arm is relaxed then you won't feel it - maybe your sister was tensing her arm?

I would seriously think about taking some paracetamol for the next day or two which I am sure helped me have no noticeable side effects.

I didn't feel a thing, but I have no muscles. Maybe you're a 70 lb weakling like me, JJ.

You may yet have side effects, they advise that you might get aches or pains or a fluey feeling in the next few days, but you more likely won't.

Like I came home and spoke to my cousin who has had it too - she felt it a little too. Maybe the nurse was brilliant in giving needles. I am gobsmacked. Makes a change.

[jennyjoan]

try a 70stone weakling jno LOL

[emmie]

my arm is a tad sore and very stiff from saturdays vaccination, the side effects weren't good...

[emmie]

JJ you sure a 70 stone weakling, ??

[jennyjoan]

I;m laughing to myself. After the alleged prick that it was so light - and through the blurred mask - I thought she was saying come on we are going to another room to do it when she was saying go on home. I mean I couldn't believe it - it was done in the actual waiting room.

[jno]

it's the same with the flu jab every year, JJ, I never feel them either.

[emmie]

i never have the flu jab...

[tiggerblue10]

When I had my flu jab in December I felt the coldness of the needle and the vax going in. Not very pleasant. Not sure if I'm now developing an aversion to needles as I used to give blood regularly a few years back.

[MallyJ]

I didn't feel much untill I had a really nasty headache that night that lasted for 3 days....hurt so much.

[Barsel]

Which one did you have JJ?

[jennyjoan]

astronecco - just like the astronaut nurse LOL, I tried to start a conversation in asking when did I have to go back etc - she had no time - get the coat on - I did make her out saying - we will contact you in a few weeks time.

[emmie]

astrazeneca JJ??

[emmie]

i don't know when my second vaccination will be but not looking forward to it,

[jennyjoan]

that's awful emmie - I sometimes think because of all the needles and numbing re my implants (teeth) over the last years - that I had to get - maybe my body thinks - that wee prick was wee easy peasy

I have had little pricks in the past in my thumb to test for blood and they were more painful.

[emmie]

i didn't mind the jab, the vaccination, that part was fine, just that the shakes, teeth clattering went on for hours later on
