Psoriasis flare up associated with second dose of Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine

[Caroline]

ECG came back all fine   

Now keeping an eye on my skin for any flares

Wonderful news Hanna !
Did they have any other remarks on what was the matter?

Good to hear that the ECG came back fine Hanna, must have been brought on by the anxiety. But if I was you I'd have the second jab as you got through the first one ok and you shouldn't be so anxious next time, but of course only you know how it makes you feel and if it's too much then leave it
Hopefully you won't have any  flares after the jab. I haven't noticed any difference in my skin after 2

I’ve just had my Covid booster yesterday, it was Pfizer so that’s the first Pfizer jab for me.
My arm aches and feels bruised, found it hard to sleep as they did the flu jab in the other arm also.
I don’t feel ill or anything as yet.

Great TL..
My arm felt bruised too, but that will fade away of course.

I'm sure it will pass TL. Don't they ask you which arm you want to use ? Here you tick a little box on your form so they know where you want it.

We are having our flue jabs on Saturday and possibly the booster covid jab . But here like with TL they put one in the left arm and one in the right so may also find it uncomfortable at night

They normally ask but I had two jabs so I just got one in each arm.. I think they put Pfizer in the left as they thought it might be more bruised.

I actually had the flu booked for Saturday but when I went they said I could have flu and Pfizer at the same time, however if I had flu Saturday they wouldn’t be able to do the Pfizer for a week.
So I waited til the next day and they saved me a flu jab.

Oh, and it was in a sainburys car park so we had to sit in petrol station queues to get there, and get out again. Fabulous bit of planning..

Sorry misread your post TL. I was thinking just Covid as I don't have the Flu jab.

Immunocompromised people can now get a third shot here but my pharmacist recommended I wait 6 months from the last shot.

How long did you wait for the third shot?
