This took me a little off-guard. I was vaccinated with AZ this past Monday. No reaction whatsoever, none - I couldn't even see or feel the spot where the needle went in. Now here 6 days later, the vaccination site is warm and feels like a bruise - not muscle soreness, just painful when pressed on. Of course it's nothing to be alarmed about but it does strike me as weird for it to be so delayed.Thanks to all for writing your reactions (or no reaction), I am glad I always have lots of tylenol and advil on hand (I get migraines a lot). I have a walmart grocery order for pick up in the morning and I wonder if I should move it to Friday just in case. We have plenty of food around any way, I just like to have them set up regularly now as it can be harder to get a spot.
We've got a bit of a ways to go yet.

Mine was similar. I didn't feel anything for the first few days. Then the spot where I had the injection was sore to the touch for a few days. Everyone is different.This took me a little off-guard.

my husband and I got our first AZ vaccines today at 11:30am. Went for a hike afterwards and felt fine. I’m feeling a bit tired and a little blah now at 5:30. That’s okay though Godspeed immune system!
* A little update to help others know what to maybe expect. Last night was rough. It started with hip/sides of stomach pain and by the 11th hour full body aches, cold and feeling very flu'ish. I'm not sure if I had a fever but if I did it was mild and I sweat it out. This morning I feel mostly ok, almost like the day after you are ill if that makes sense. So on a whole not bad at all.
It was almost embarrassing. Every time I told my husband or someone that I felt fine, I’d end up sick and weepy an hour or two later . It took a few days to get back to normal completely.Right? That AZ plays games. "I'm totally fine. I'm lucky. I feel great." ** 4 hours later ** "I want to crawl in a hole and cry."
GenX sporting AZ here! And it was POISON 6 hours after the shot: fever, chills, body ache so bad there was not a single comfortable position to be found. Sat on the toilet whilst barfing into a bin for most of the night. Throbbing headache for 2 days. Worth every second though. I was so relieved when I booked the appt that I sat down and ugly-cried for about 15 minutes after.
TOTALLY. I'm an Avenger nowThat's an intense reaction! Just think of how well your body will be prepared to fight the virus now. Hope you are feeling better now!
