I had the first dose of AZ Covid-19 vaccine back in Feb this year and the second in April this year. I have three allergies and was worried that I might have bad reaction. I was told that I might experience a temperature and flu like symptoms and the only thing that I experienced was a slight ache in my upper arm.

I had the first AZ vac this week, with so far only headache and a feeling of low energy and feeling a bit off, which apparently is common. I gave up waiting for Pfizer here in incompetent Australia. To my research, all the vaccines have some side effects, all have some rare serious side effects, Including Pfizer, but AZ does have this rare serious fatal outcome, but seems to offer better long term protection against the delta variant. The person who gave me the shot agreed with my summary of it. It's a bit of a lottery, but life is generally, isn't it? The way I figured it was, though I am in excellent health, go jogging daily, and could run rings around some of these coke guzzling pot bellied young guys a third my age, nevertheless in my age group if I got COVID without vaccination the outcome likely would range from bad to terminal. So I chose my vaccination lottery ticket this week and just hope for the best.
