Hello everyone,

How are you today? 

The pharmaceutical groups Pfizer (USA) and BioNTech (Germany) announced on Monday 9 November that their vaccine candidate is 90% "effective" in preventing Covid-19 infections, according to preliminary results of their large-scale phase 3 trial, which is still ongoing. 

What do you think about this? Do you plan to be vaccinated as soon as the COVID-19 vaccine is on the market? 

Feel free to discuss and share in the comments below!

Take care,

Courtney

@hayley64‍ 

So sorry to hear that. Hayley. Which vaccine did you have. Please can you shed a light ion it? How soon after the vaccine all this happened? have you been told that it is all as a result of the vaccine. Would be grateful if you would be so kind to share this information. Sincerely hope it all gets sorted. Best wishes to you.

@nineteen_gale 

the nurse,surgeon and breast clinic not surprised at all 

they obviously not going to say as a direct result but only a few weeks after my jab it all started I had the Pfizer one 

too many coincidences and I’ve since read up and lots of women having problems ie with monthly’s and hot sweats etc

@hayley64‍ 

Thank you Hayley

Of course no one will be willing to admit that it could be the direct result of the vaccine, but the fact is that you had the problems you never had for 10 years and suddenly appeared after the vaccine, tells you something , doesn't it? I developed severe headaches 8 days after i had my 2nd AZ vaccine in April. I was taken to A&E where I had a CT scan of my head to rule out the clots and blood tests. They were all negative. But then in Aug. I was diagnosed as having Autoimmune disease Polymyalgia and Temporal Arteritis Rheumatica and i am now on large doses of Oral steroids  which I have to take for 2 years. I had read that the vaccine can cause autoimmune disease. I wonder if mine is as a result of the vaccine or mere co incidence. I will never know. Tomorrow I am due to have Booster dose. I believe all booster doses are Pfizer. I must say I am a little worried.

@nineteen_gale 

A lot of my daughters friends are experiencing problems with periods etc 

I wish I’d waited I’ve had to have 3 procedures that were painful so 3 different hormonal experiences since the jab I wonder?! I think I know 

hence not letting my son have it yet 

and had terrible pmt symptoms

@hayley64‍ 

I am truly worried now about tomorrow. There is a medical person there to answer all your questions. So I am going to have a chat before i have it.. My son had AZ but the Booster dose was Pfizer. he works for the NHS and helps with the vaccination service. Has all the data of people having side effects etc and attends weekly meetings on Zoom. He assures me that it is safe. Thanks you for communicating with me. Wish me good luck for tomorrow.

@hayley64

Thank you Hayley. I hope I will be fine.. I will have a good chat with the medical person first before I have the vaccine. Its because I am on high dose of Steroids my immune system is already compromised. That is he reason i am most worried about. I will keep in touch.

@hayley64‍ 

i had a good chat with the medic,, and he convinced me. that the Covid booster vaccine is not live, and he advised me to go ahead with the booster jab to protect against my immunocompromised system, which would give me good protection against catching Covid. So its done. I had Pfizer Booster dose yesterday. Apart from the mild arm ache I am fine so far. Will go head with the Flu Vaccine tomorrow.
