Everyone is different and feeling nervous is very common. Personally I was excited, more than I expected to be. Had it 5 weeks ago and can’t wait for the next one. The clinics are extremely well organised and I only had a painful arm for about two days and then completely back to normal. Some people have had more of a reaction but I think most, like me, had no problem. Good luck x
Well - we were/are all in the same boat because nobody had ever had this jab before plus it's most unlikely to be delivered in a place we are familiar with or necessarily by NHS workers we have met before - so a voyage into The Unknown for everyone. Hence, you are 100% normal to feel nervous.
I'm pretty risk averse myself - but still here to tell the tale! And as they say - nothing ventured, nothing gained.
