A bit tired.
Debating a glass of wine, but will certainly have an early night.
I was warned to expect anything from headaches, to sore muscles, (relatively unusual), possible clots (also unusual), - very likely a sore spot where I received the vaccine (as happens when I receive vaccines such as the flu jab - your upper arm becomes very sore two days later, and, initially, you wonder why, when studying the bruises in the shower until your memory kicks in), but most probably fatigue - as in excessive tiredness (and, unfortunately, my French class beckons tomorrow...).
The doctor did say that it was equally possible that I would suffer no ill effects - the only vaccine that I have ever really reacted badly to was the rabies vaccine (the doctor agreed, for he had suffered the same response - that was how we started discussing our respective travels).
However, he did recommend that I take two paracetemol every six hours for 24 hours - either in advance of, or in response to, - a possible reaction.
The second jab is supposed to - scheduled to - take place in twelve weeks time, and I was advised to treat today's jab as though I hadn't been vaccinated for a further four weeks, - in order to give the immune system time to adapt and confer immunity.
I really want some crawfish.
