After my Moderna jab on Tuesday afternoon, I felt fine yesterday - maybe a slight dizziness and a bruised feeling in the arm where the shot had gone in. Now, Thursday, feeling rather weak, wobbly and a headache. Apparently this is normal and should go after 2-3 days.

You can literally feel the stuff activating your immune system.

I got off quite mildly after my first (AZ) jab but not so after the second, feeling awful night after and next morning. Think it might have something to do with it being at a different time of the day on an empty stomach and drinking beer at a pub shortly afterwards. That said I felt a lot better 24 hours after the jab.

Had my second AZ jab on Tuesday. No issues. The first one in March gave me a headache for a day and a sore arm for a week.

After my second AZ jab yesterday I woke up today feeling like I'd been given a good kicking overnight. Oddly enough, probably the only thing that doesn't hurt is the injection site.

I had my second AZ jab on Saturday, and have had zero side effects. Felt a bit rough the day after the first one though.

Announced today that 86% of adults in Wales have now had their first jab which is apparantly the fastest rate in the world. Took my other half to the mass vaccination centre today for her second (AZ), no major ill effect so far. She was in and out very quickly, unlike me when I had to queue for a long time. A lot more staff administering the jabs now.

Three weeks today since I had my second jab so I am well protected, along with the low infection rate in the area. Feels good to be getting more of my life back. Will spend much of tomorrow in a pub seeing friends I have not seen since this thing started and will use public transport. :guiness;

Restrictions are being lifted sensibly in Wales and the First Minister has stated that some could remain for the rest of the year, depending on the scientific advice. A big contrast to bonkers Boris and his pledge for a return to normality on 21 June.

Had my booster yesterday six months to the day after my second jab. Feeling below par, similar to the first jab, but nothing like as bad as following the second. The vaccine was Modema and I was told that mixing them increases the effectiveness. It was at a different place again and the anti vaxx nutters with their placards were out in force on the main road to the centre.

Reflects my experience also. Arm is quite tender but OK if I don't mess with it. Let's hope all goes well for us all.
