Hang in there Reg, symptoms vary but I believe generally subside after 24 hours or so. Alex felt off after her dose but she is young and fit as a fiddle, not sure I’m going to get off so lightly either when my turn eventually comes. I won’t get any sympathy of course!

I had my first dose of the Oxford vaccine and had a really bad reaction. Felt like flu, hot and cold shivers which I couldn’t control. These turned into full body convulsions which I eventually got under control then got far too hot. About an hour later I was throwing up. Massive headache for the next day then completely fine the day after.
