Covid jab

Posted by Stan Wears on 4/11/2025, 8:47 pm

I got a covid and flu jab 3 weeks ago. My covid jab has left my left arm in agony for 3 weeks. The doctor says it has done this to a lot of people. His answer was to give it another 3 weeks and if it's still the same come back! What the heck are we taking? Anyone else had this problem?

Hi Stan. They shifted the goalposts this year, and I'm now TOO young to get a Covid Jag..... I'm 69 in 2 weeks!!!

Apparently, I think, you have to be 75 to qualify..

But no, not heard of anyone else having problems.

Hello Stan both my husband and myself had the covid jab in october, for the first time ever I had terrible flu like symptoms which lasted two weeks, my husband complained of feeling very cold internally during the night and aching and tiredness for two weeks.
We were given Comirnaty KP.2 on the leaflet we were given it states that KP2 may not fully protect all those who receive it.
If we had been given the leaflet before we both agreed we would not have had the covid jab.

Carol I had the same problem with the Covid jab a few years ago so have never had one since. My doctor suggested giving me both when I was at her surgery. I said no just the flu please and she said fine, I think a few of older people like myself are opting out of Covid jabs. Of course it personal preference.

I haven’t had a covid jab since lockdown ended, decided Covid is something we have to learn to live with, mind you I guess if you are caring for someone with a severe illness or disability that might be different, but it is a personal choice, I don’t even have the flu jab.

Did you all have the COMIRNATY KP2 vaccine?
DIfferent doctors may use vaccines

No idea about the name, as far as Zi was concerned they were just Covid and Flu jabs !

I have accepted every vaccination offered to me. Vaccines have proven to be the most affective defence against virus infection.
Other than a sore arm for a day or two (a small price to pay) I have had no other ill effects except for the smallpox vaccination I received in the sixties. This left me with flu like symptoms and a severe swelling of my arm that caused me to be off work for a week. However, the payback to me and others like me was that smallpox was eradicated around the world in the sixties.

Pfizer for us at our usual mass vaccination centre in nearby Staffordshire.
No obvious problems for either of us!
