Update:
I had the second jab yesterday at 13:15 and for the next few hours my anxiety levels jumped several points. However all I had were the standard reported side effects of fatigue (felt like I’d been drugged with sleep drug) and clamminess in the night. Other than that I feel great. The relief is quite a thing.
@torunn saidWhen I look back I wasn’t in a good place. The last 14 months have taken their toll on everyone and I am no exception. Having some hard core conspiracy theorists in my immediate family doesn’t help as the fear and anxiety which loved ones can spread gets under your shields like other people don’t.
@divegeester
I think you will be very restricted without the second. It wouldn't make sense to take only the first. How ill did it make you?

@torunn saidYes there’s an element of that. I thought long and hard about the whole thing.
We have done our duty.
- The vaccines are somewhat experimental but nevertheless the risk of a serious reaction is very small
- I’m suspicious about being required to have these every year in order to travel but I think the administration and cost will take this away in time
- I had to consider the state of my own mental and physical condition when I had jab one - I was not in a good place due to work and all sorts.
- herd immunity is a thing and it’s worth fighting for until we are in a place to live with the virus, which we will have to, soon I think.
Anyway I’m relieved I’ve done it and even more relieved that I didn’t get those awful weeks of side effects and worrying what I might have done to myself
@divegeester saidI hesitated for a while for reasons I couldn't ignore but eventually decided I should take the vaccine for other reasons and for other people. I lost touch with my friends the past year, and without vaccination that would have continued.

@divegeester saidFrom what I've read and what I heard.......
When the 1st jab nearly killed me.
Thoughts?
If you reacted badly to a first jab, there is a chance you were infected with COVID.
Because you already generated some antibodies.
As a rule, 2nd jabs always have more serious effects than the first one.
If you are infected before your first jab, then the first jab will feel like a 2nd one.
