My vaccination felt exactly like somebody sticking a needle into my arm. It bled for a few minutes then ached for a day or two. The only people I know who have had an extreme reactions to the vaccine are 2 ladies who are in remission from cancer. Both have missing or damaged lymph nodes. I am not an expert but I think there may be a connection.
@debs64 Secondborn's Mother in Law had an awful reaction to the job and she has terminal cancer, her lymph nodes have been removed. She was in bed for 5 days.
Well - I had my jab this afternoon. Efficient system from contact from the GP through to painless delivery of the vaccine. Time will tell, of course, if I have any side effects - but a small price to pay, if I do, for the peace of mind having had this. Next jab will be via notification in 11 - 12 weeks. If, as is being suggested, there is a need for a further booster shot in the autumn, so be it. I remember (only too well) the polio vaccinations in the 50s. So painful that, when children of a certain age were supposed to have a fourth booster, I refused to let the doctor anywhere near me! Today was a walk in the park in comparison.

Thanks for that Debs. Gives me an idea what to expect when I get mine done.
A friend of mine had her vaccine yesterday @Pauline 7 she is very healthy but unfortunately she has had a very bad reaction to the vaccine. By early evening she was shivering, aching all over and had an horrendous headache. Her husband had it at the same time and has a slight ache in his arm. I messaged her earlier and she feels exactly the same. Hopefully she'll feel better tomorrow
Just once in a lifetime and in the appropriate setting everyone needs to use the phrase “just a little prick with a needle.”
A sharp scratch is as inane a phrase as ‘brittle hair’, ‘well drained, moisture retentive soil’ and ‘a pop of colour’.
When I had the vasectomy I was glad they had changed the phrasing to scratch Although they said the injection was the worst bit I can honestly say it wasn't. I'm fine with injections but I'm sure the surgeon started work before the anaesthetic did.
If you can keep your head, while those around you are losing theirs, you may not have grasped the seriousness of the situation.
