when I had my first covid jab I had very painful arm for a few days.
My 2nd jab is due Friday and this time I have a libre on my left arm, which I didn't the first jab.
Is it ok to have the jab in that left , libre arm, or should I have in in the right (which I'd prefer not to as that is my dominant arm, and I sleep on my right.)

Any ideas/experiences peeps?

Yes I always have both libre and jabs in left arm because I lay on my right side to sleep, they will just avoid it.

Although I had some reaction to the first jab the second caused no response at all. Nothing.
My husband was the same.

Lol, I had my jabs in the opposite arm to the libre. The second jab. I could swear if felt where the last on was 7 days previously?
Same when I do the flu shot too..
