Thought I should create a new thread solely for any side effects after my AstraZeneca first dose today. I tweeted earlier my experience at the UM centre. Here is how I have been feeling after.

Received my AZ jab at around 9.30am. There was no immediate soreness. I barely even felt the needle go in. Within 1 hour, I could feel slight soreness in my left arm near my injection area.

Within the next 1-2 hours, the very slight soreness and now very slight numbness also spread down to my little finger. It wasn’t uncomfortable and I was still happily eating my brunch after the UM visit #CucukMYAZ

At around 2-3 hours later, I started to get a mild headache. I didn’t need to take Panadol. The headache didn’t get worse but it persisted for around 1 hour+. Don’t know if it helped, but I kept drinking a lot of water

It is now just over 4 hours since my AZ jab. The headache has not gotten worse and I can feel it fading away. I have been typing and working in front of my computer all this while. Not feeling uncomfortable.

5 hours after my AZ jab. The headache has completely gone away. The slight tiredness earlier has also gone away. I am feeling fine now. #CucukMYAZ

10 hours after my AZ jab: I am developing a slight fever but no need for me to take a panadol. My wife who took the jab at the exact same time, she only experienced some tiredness and is still feeling tired #CucukMYAZ

12 hours after my AZ jab: I do have a fever. Temperature climbed to 37.8C. So I have now popped two Panadol and will sleep it off. #CucukMYAZ

24 hours after my AZ jab: A fever the whole night. Tossed and turned until 4am when the fever broke. Mild fever has returned this morning. My wife doesn’t have a fever anymore. But has a headache. We are both feeling better now #CucukMYAZ

26 hours after my AZ jab: Looks like the fever is finally gone. I have been feeling tired so taking naps have helped. I wouldn’t have been able to work in the office or even WFH. So those of you taking AZ, factor in one rest day after #CucukMYAZ

30 hours after my AZ jab: Finally feeling back to normal. No more fever. No more fatigue. Overall, there was mild discomfort with the side effects. But well worth the price of admission with prevention of actual Covid symptoms! #CucukMYAZ

48 hours after my AZ jab: Had a good sleep last night. I am back working normally. From other friends' experiences, they experienced a peak of the side effects by 40 hours and recovery within 48 hours. Body aches, headache, fever, and/or chills all seem common #CucukMYAZ
