Side effects AstraZeneca Vaccine

Hey All,

I was fortunate enough to have received the corona vaccine already (astraZeneca), but have since then (Thursday, so 5 days) had very strong symptoms that fit within the “common side effects”, i.e. 1 in 10 people, description of the leaflet. I’m still pro vaccine and am sure this will pass, but in my fatigued, exhausted state with nausea and cold shivers, a dark cloud of depression hanging over my head, it would be ever so good to hear if anybody else went through the same thing, and how long it took to pass?

Thanks guys!

take a look at the thread covid vaccine??? https://community.mssociety.org.uk/forums/everyday-living/covid-vaccine-0

quite a few people have added their experiences…

Hi, I had the Astra vaccine on Sun. Arm quite achy on Sun night and not sure if I had a fever through Monday evening as my pjs were sticking to me with sweat. I also do my Avonex injection on a Mon night do may have been a combination of both. Arm still quite sore and started to feel quite shivery on Tuesday afternoon and although I slept better on Tuesday night, I woke up feeling very tired and slept until 12.30. Feeling brighter this afternoon so hopefully on the mend. Hope you feel better soon.
