Feeling unwell after second jab

Post by Bigjj »

Hi all,

Had my second vaccine dose this morning and feel achy and a bit run down. Was my day off today and due to return tomorrow but unsure i'll be able to go in feeling like this.

Was just wondering what happens if I can't go in? My attendance record had been good for years but had a couple of absences this year(Non Covid related) Mainly down to minor injuries. Was concerned I could either trigger or come close to triggering a stage if I feel too unwell to attend tomorrow. Does any one know the policy or have a link to any rules regarding feeling unwell after a jab? A few people from work seem to think that it doesn't go on your sick record if it is Covid related. Is this correct? I have the appointment email from today if they needed to see proof. Thanks

It's good to get these types of threads, the ridiculous my manager said bollox, so we can reassure ourselves that while the world is falling apart, Royal Mail managers are still being the low-life C***S they have always been.

The daily grind of having to argue your case with an intellectual pigmy of a line manager is physically and emotionally draining.

Quite common I would imagine I was exactly the same after my 2nd jab sore arm and felt very weak off work for 3 days only absence for 2Yrs though apparently it effects over 50's, more so my manager fine and understanding with it

I had a fever/shivers during the night on the day I took the jab. I took an additional day off to recover from the fever but I felt fatigued the day after when I decided to go back into work. I'm glad my strength has somewhat returned today. I do not look forward to booster jabs if I'm honest. The management were pretty understanding. Shouldn't be an issue.
