Just wondering, if they do develop a jab for the new variant would any of you have it? as we are very vulnerable. Quit a few people ( who are not vulnerable) have said they won't have it ! I think I would. X
Hi Moi2
we had our two jabs Astra Zen. No problem.
Then got called in for flu then pulled up for booster. Wasn’t due til December but we went for it.
We were told that they were saving Pfizer for children so we would have Moderna
Both of us had really awful reaction. Took us two days to feel half normal unfitness level that we are both at.
My friend had same Moderna she was fine but she’s really fit sadly we are not
I would have it again if they didn’t have the Pfizer.
I think it’s worth asking if you can have Pfizer.

Artsie, that's interesting. My first 2 were Pfizer, no real problem, just the arm felt like I'd been thumped. The booster, also Pfizer, knocked me out for a couple of days, felt really rough. I wonder if its the rDNA aspect of the Pfizer and moderna?? The AZ is different.
Hi Moi2
Yes thanks we are better. Although my hubby was diagnosed with Parkinson’s end of Sep and he had the shivers really bad headache and FULL Parkinson’s. To tell you the truth I was really frightened and very frustrated. Why couldn’t he at least had Pfizer?. It was really worrying. Yes it’s important that children are vaccinated but he has major serious health issues plus Parkie.
Sorry for the Moan
i do feel so much better now tho.
