Did you do an antibody test after to see if you got the placebo or the real thing?

Do you know if you got the real thing?

I'm pretty sure I got the real thing, but they are still working on the trial unblinding procedure with the regulator.

They want to keep the trial running as long as possible to get longer-term data (understandable) but it is also potentially unethical to not tell someone if they got a placebo if they are at-risk and a known-good vaccine is otherwise available. I'm in the UK where they are already vaccinating thousands of people everyday with the Pfizer one, so I expect them to figure out the unblinding details very shortly.

Have you felt kinda lousy/lethargic/sickly since then, more so than usual?

No, I've felt fine after the initial day or so of side effects. With the booster shot, I had similar but even less intense and shorter side effects.

FWIW, I usually get no side effects with a flu shot but others get more so I'm sure it varies person to person.

Are you a zombie?

Nah

Monosyllabic responses are exactly what I would expect from a zombie.

Pfizer? Side-effects?

Oxford. Side effects were just a day of feeling half-crummy. Not a big deal.

Well that is way better than a week and half in bed feeling like death warmed over.

Curious do you feel crummy after other vaccinations like Flu, MMR, etc? Or was this the first time with those symptoms from a vaccine?

First time. The side effects were not a big deal at all, but they were more than I get from a flu shot.

Did you ever find out if you were given the real vaccines or the placebo?
