It`s one of the reasons I have them done on a Saturday as I drive for work and it was really painful. That said, Mrs LR was laid up for a day after she had hers so I guess it`s different strokes for different folks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Comments from other people, including friends & family suggested this year’s flu jab was more likely of the two to cause issues. Therefore I had flu in left arm and Covid in right arm. Of course, it was the right arm that was a little sore for a few hours ! Edited October 10, 2023 by The Gasbuster 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LondonBristolian Posted October 10, 2023 Report Share Posted October 10, 2023 I was a little run down the day after my Covid jab, although there were a number of factors probably involved in that and not just the jab! I was fine after 24 hours. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
