Not sure of any help but I had the Astra Zeneca vaccination a couple of weeks ago the only side effect was a tender arm around the injection site which lasted around 6 -7 days. I had the vaccination 41 days after Covid infection as that was when I received my letter due to my age. I believe advice is it can be given 30 days after Covid positive test. I was very unwell with Covid and had to be admitted to hospital 12 days after becoming unwell. I was very keen to have my vaccination as I developed a blood clot and pneumonia due to Covid and now on blood thinners for 3-6 months. For me there was no question that any side effects I could get would be anything other than minor things to worry about given how unwell I was with Covid.
My partner had the Pfizer jab and had no side effects at all he is 77 years. I am 61 years incredibly although he had only had his vaccination a week before I became unwell he either did not catch it or was asymptomatic. I agree that someone should be as well as possible before being vaccinated.
My dad was End Of Life January 2021 which is why I was able to visit him in his CH but they did ask if family wanted dad to have the vaccination as doctor had asked and would give it to him next day. I said no given dads poorly state and being End of Life. My dad hadn't eaten in a month and was no longer awake on my daily visits, as it was my dad passed away the day after I was asked. Dad also had a positive test which came back later the same day I was asked about the vaccination and the CH called me after I had got home to tell me. There was no doubt in my mind visiting dad is where I caught Covid. Covid was not recorded on dads death certificate but Advanced dementia and cerebral event as had a small stroke. Thankfully I am now well albeit on the thinners but hopeful that next chest x ray will be good and no long term damage.
