[QUOTE="ert, post: 2325881, member: 504712"] I have the flu vaccine every year and never feel a thing. For the Novavax trial, the injection site ached and still feels bruised to touch, had a really bad headache, fever, muscle aches, fatigue, nausea for 40 hours and didn't respond to paracetamol or ibuprofen. I was in bed for half a day, and I followed sick day rules as my blood sugars stayed high during that time. The vaccine consists of a synthetic protein which has the same structure as key protein on the surface of the SARS-CoV-2, which is what we develop antibodies to. My symptoms look pretty standard, but some people don't react at all: [URL='https://www.statnews.com/2020/08/04/novavaxs-covid-19-vaccine-shows-promising-immune-response-early-data-show/#:~:text=More%20than%2060%25%20had%20other,and%20none%20was%20life%2Dthreatening']https://www.statnews.com/2020/08/04/novavaxs-covid-19-vaccine-shows-promising-immune-response-early-data-show/#:~:text=More than 60% had other,and none was life-threatening[/URL]. I'm certainly not letting a bit of discomfort stop me from getting the second injection, and immunity with a t-cell spike. I really want to return to work. And travel again. [/QUOTE]
