Yesterday at 2,30pm I had my first Covid Vaccine, I had the AstraZeneca one. Both vaccines come with there very own side effects. I looked them up as soon as i could as wanted to have enough information before I decided whether to have the jab or not. I needed to know if my health problems and medication that I take could cause me more problems,Thankfully everything seemed OK. I then did some research on side effects other people had after being vaccinated.
Yes I have read some horror stories and also read some good effects and people not experiencing anything after there jab. I have read so many conspiracy theories, but after searching for and feedback to verify these I have been unable to find strong proof. I have know a lot of people who have had the injections I also know a lot of people who have had the Virus and everyone who has had the virus have stated to get the injection as Covid is something none of them want to go through it again as it was horrendous.
We all have to decide what's best for our self's no one should make you feel bad for what option you took, I have the vaccination because of the health problems I am already going through. Having Asthma wouldn't help my chances of survival.
I went onto the site I usually use when I need to find anything to do with Health. and this Vaccine.
Here is the side effects of the Vaccine I had. This was taken from the above site.

Its been over 24 hours since I had my jab, My arm is a little painful, nothing to worry about, I do feel dizzy today and no appetite which isn't a bad thing, if these symptoms last longer than 10 days then I will have a chat with my doctor. My Hubby feels like he has a few flu symptoms, dizzy and tired and as for my daughter she has lost her appetite with a slight pain in her arm. Nothing to worry about, hopefully after sleeping tonight the symptoms will have reduced if not gone all together.
Don't let anyone tell you what to do, its your body your life, O respect both decisions, if your concerned then that is your decision and I hope we all get through this with no more deaths. Don't hate on people just because they don't make the same decision as yourself.
Good luck and stay safe Everyone.*
