Corona Virus Disease (COVID-19) Updates

Many including myself had more discomfort after the 2nd jab.

It is the same material being injected into us for the 2 jabs. Why our body reacted more after the 2nd jab?

[quote=\"zac's mum\" post_id=2025902 time=1622553336 user_id=53606]Timing-wise, better don’t let your kids take the jab just before an exam, especially Compo or 作文 paper. Took my 1st dose this morning and the sore arm is no joke.

Do you have allergy and if yes usually what reaction.. like rashes or swelling ?

I m taking my first dose soon..

@ zac’s mum Stretch yr arm after jab. Relieves tightness.

@ MKS I hv allergy & rhinitis for years. Both 1st & 2nd jabs no severe reactions. Just arm slight sore at the injection point, slight tiredness and headache for the night. Next day no effects le

Hubby was the only one had chills for both jabs. He said with effects shows the vaccine working well in our body.[/quote]Thanks esteema! I had postponed once coz when I tried my allergens my swelling came then decided to go for it for my dh and dd..should be ok la. I m strong..well hopefully.

I used to have allergic rhinitis since young till my 20s.

At the vaccination center today, I noted the cautions (please declare & inform the staff) were for those with history of anaphylactic reactions. They have removed the cautions for asthma sufferers, as well as for less severe degree of allergies. (They also barred those who have visited Changi Airport, Jem, Westgate etc. recently).

IMO, the younger & healthier you are, the stronger the side effects of the Covid vaccine will be . My age group friends (40-45) all commented their sore arm + fever (done with chills) was quite strong and lasted at least 2 days. I had to have it in my writing arm becos the non-writing arm already has a keloid scar from that BCG vaccination which we were compelled (by MOE/MOH) to take in adolescence. Grrrrr.

I dunno the younger kids age 12 will be even worse or not. I don’t envy the current P6 being the Guinea pigs.

I googled allergic rhinitis also has swelling.. after jab, most obvious is sore arm for you zac's mom..I think that is good news. Thankbyou for sharing.

Talking about the interval, I agree you'd better make sure the second dose appt is in between the mid-Aug PSLE Oral and mid-Sept PSLE LC exams, cos they could get fever, chills, body aches and headache. Younger persons seem to get these more than the old folks.

If the 12 yo starts his booking in last week of Jun/jab in first week Jul, then he will get their second dose after PSLE Oral.

First jab just injection site pain. Subside usually within 24 hrs. No need panadol at all.

Second jab got chills until had to pull out my winter wear and long pants to wear. Before sleeping, drank the whole pot of barley. Woke up with slight fever in the middle of the night. Popped 2 panadols.

Day 2 whole body ached, must stick Salonpas on shoulders and pop 3rd panadol. Injection site pain for 3 days; couldn't lift up whole arm at all.[/quote]The 2nd jab seems strong! Thanks for sharing.

It's the immune system reaction. Different people will react differently, but some experts explain that after being primed the first time, the immune system may react more the 2nd time, which builds up stronger resistance.

For me, no side effects for both jabs apart from the normal aching / sore arm associated with injection.

Last probably less than a day.
Pfizer FTW :evil:

Am I abnormal?

If your immune system is strong, you may get stronger reactions to the vaccine. Those with weaker systems tend to get less reaction. It will only be for a couple of days - compared with the risk of getting Covid and suffering more seriously, or getting Covid and passing it on to someone who may suffer more seriously. Just don't schedule anything too active or important for the 2 days after each jab.
