My husband had his Covid vaccination on Wednesday. He is 90 with mid to late stage AD. The vaccination itself went extremely well and he seemed fine. Later in the day he started to get agitated and upset, something we‘re all accustomed to, and i had to spend most of the evening trying to calm him down. On Thursday, he slept most of the day, woke for a couple of hours in the afternoon and went to bed at 5pm and slept until about 4am except for a couple of visits to the toilet.
At 4.30am he was again agitated , but I’ve given him Risperidone and he’s now gone back to bed.
None of this is particularly different from usual, just more pronounced and I wondered whether anyone else has experienced any after effects of the vaccination?

I wonder if just the change from normal routine has unsettled & over tired him @Vitesse?
Quite possibly. He is sleeping a lot these days anyway, but this is just a bit different. I’m not unduly worried, just wondered if anyone else has had similar experience.
