For us, just sore arm, lack of energy, headache.....plus my wife had terrible chills during night. Lasted a couple of days. Chills gone after the first night.Both my wife and I had our AstraZeneca vaccines. I was fine with just a stiff arm for a day or two. My wife was sick , very bad headache and no energy, the next day . The second day she was fine.
We would take the sickness over getting Covid any time.
It just affects people in various ways. The sooner we get the second one the better .
Again from friend in the UK only adverse effect after the 2nd dose was a sore arm for a day.For us, just sore arm, lack of energy, headache.....plus my wife had terrible chills during night. Lasted a couple of days. Chills gone after the first night.
I would be interested to hear when after we get the second AZ jab are the side effects the same or more or less?

The figures are very low especially in Cohort 7 . I read last week the the HSE felt that many in this Cohort were recorded by GPs in Cohort 4 but also admitted that the system wasn't working as planned.HSE's Damien Mccallion says if people's GPs aren't taking part in vaccination of cohorts 4 or 7 (high risk conditions) there is a referral programme that has been rolled out this week which will see people in these cohorts get picked up and given appointments in vaccine centres...
That'll be done through an electronic referral system which will be open to GPs who aren't taking part in the vaccinations of Cohort 4 or 7.

Some were assigned to Cohort 4 by GPs, some were done as part of their age group. I know of people in their 50s who were told to just register by age group on the portal as they would be done as quickly.The figures are very low especially in Cohort 7 .

My database experience is somewhat limited but surely taking the PPS number as the primary identifier would have made tracking these people easier before the rollout began rather than farting around now and using scarce resources.
I dunno what has changed but to put a big of logic to it perhaps the data supports this in that after one jab you have 60-70% immunity and the additional immunity from the 2nd jab makes little uplift in what is deemed "vaccinated ".I see Stephen Donnelly saying today that people will be considered full vaccinated four weeks after their first AZ dose. When did this happen? I thought no-one was fully vaccinated until after their second dose??
"What NIAC have concluded is that if you get a Johnson & Johnson dose you would be deemed fully vaccinated two weeks after that dose.
"With AstraZeneca after your first dose they would view you to be fully vaccinated four weeks after your first dose, with Pfizer and Moderna it is one week and two weeks respectively after the second dose.
"So essentially what that all means is that somewhere between two weeks and six weeks of your first dose of any of these you would be deemed to be fully vaccinated", he said.

The second jab for most people would be essentially a booster in the Autumn anyway, but I agree it's a strange one.
But would the rest of the EU accept this for travel?
I'll be fully vaccinated on the 2nd of July as I'm getting Pfizer 4th and 25th of June, Pfizer are vaccinating families of employees.
I think data from Israel and Qatar recently said they witnessed 100% immunity in some vaccinated people with and average of 96% after 2 doses , they are doing doses 21 days apart.Probably something like that but the protection offered after 1 dose of Pfizer is the same as far as I know but open to correction. Can't help but think it is to make it more attractive for people to accept the AZ vaccine instead of waiting for 16 weeks for the second second dose and what I thought was full immunity.
Like you say though, if this is just a NIAC decision, will the rest of the EU accept it? I thought that one of the main dangers was partially vaccinated people getting infected and allowing the virus a change to mutate.
Must be nice to have an end date to look forward to!
I think that's great news. I suggested that this might/should happen a year ago.No not good news. Fear of a super variant may result in developed countries releasing allocations of the J&J (single shot & regular refrigerator storage) and the AZ vaccines to developing countries.
