Oxford Vaccine
30 Answers
I have read that the first Oxford vaccine, not the Pfizer, has left people with quite a few Covid symptoms. Has anyone experienced this? And would the vaccine actually give you Covid to the extent that you are hospitalised?

My mother has had extreme fatigue. This led to her ignoring folk and the want to eat and drink - and the Home put her on an 'end of life path'. My sister went in and managed to break this cycle...... I was going in today but she was up, bright and cheery, so they are stepping her down, the Home Manageress saying that the staff and not the inmates having reported such tiredness......she will also contact the doctor as to the second injection.... My joke was ' at times my mother thinks that she is a staff member!' (had her laughing).
I thought that the Mater had received the Pfizer being a care home but it was, in fact, the Oxford one.

All inoculations are likely to have "side effects", some of which may resemble mild symptoms of the illness itself. Anaphylactic shock is a known occasional effect of inoculation and there have been reports of this in the case of at least the Pfizer vaccine. Other side effects have been reported, some being regarded as serious, including possible connections with death (not confirmed). I have seen these mentioned abroad more than in the UK, but then my experience is of much higher levels of transparency than in the UK (where things are more likely to remain hidden). I have no reason to doubt the reports which come through public/media briefings on statistics, trends, etc. I don't recall seeing anything leading to hospitalisation with Covid after inoculation but I have seen reports of examples where Covid was contracted "in spite of" inoculation against it.
I had the Oxford vaccine at lunchtime and felt ok until later that evening when I started to ache and felt a bit shivery. I took some paracetamol as suggested by the nurse who administered the vaccination. I felt fine when I got up next morning and I also went for a 5 mile walk 2 days later. My arm was sore at the vaccination site for a few days but this also happened with the flu jab. I think, as has already been suggested, people will react in different ways.
