Second AZ jab side effects

[chinesewall]

Morning all!

Quick question to ask if anyone else had no side effects from their first AZ jab but has with the second? I had my second on Saturday and have felt as though I have a bad hangover complete with internal rumblings and diarrhoea ever since. My guess is this is all part of the immune system kicking in - any thoughts?

Yes, I know people that have particularly diarrhoea, but was ok after a few days.

Thanks Carnation - good to have a 'no entry' sign up in front of that rabbit hole!

I haven't had it yet but I did read that side effects are more likely after the second dose as your immune system recognises the vaccine. Doesn't sound like anything to worry about!
