Has anyone with relapsing remitting MS had any side effects with this injection?
Hello Echo
Welcome to the forum.
The subject of vaccine side effects has been debated on a few threads. Have a look at this one: https://community.mssociety.org.uk/forums/everyday-living/covid-vaccine-0
Lots of people have contributed their post vaccination effects from both Pfizer and AZ. Have a read through.

Many people without MS have had a few side effects from the vaccine. They go after a few days or hours.
Just remember the side effects are a lot better than having Covid… My neuro gave me all the spiel about making sure I had the vaccine, so I smuggly told him to late done and dusted
24 hrs after having this jab I honestly thought I was relapsing.
48hrs after the jab I realised it was just the side effects.
Now 4 days later I’m more or less back to my “normal” MS.
I had my jab on Friday (AstraZeneca) and next day my arm hurt like a b.! I struggled to move it and I had terrible fatigue and felt nauseous Sat, Sun. Bit better today
I have flu jab every year and get zero side effects from that.
So I guess it’s just our immune systems overreacting to the challenge so nothing to worry about. Probably indicates that we’re making some really good antibodies & antigens - just feels rotten for a few days.
I had the Oxford vaccine on Friday. Slight headache Friday night and Saturday morning just took paracetamol. Felt a bit rough on Saturday but fine on Sunday.
Arm didn’t hurt at all.
Would rather have side effects than Covid.

OMG me too! I was so scared
