Do You Think The Vaccine Will Affect Your Lungs?

[EmilyAdkins1]

Since the virus affects your lungs if the vaccine goes to fight it near your lungs do you think your lungs could be affected. I am worried about people who don’t have strong lungs or something wrong with their lungs that they could get hurt if the vaccine does something to their lungs. I’m just wondering if it could be potentially dangerous to let an older person or someone with weak or diseased lungs to take the vaccine

mine was done in Boots. 10 mins from walking in the door to being asked to wait 5 mins before leaving. No sense of haste or anybody being too rushed to deal with questions or concerns or hassling some of the frailer recipients. No paperwork at all apart from being given the card, it was all done online ahead of time, just had to give appointment number and confirm no allergies or covid symptoms

bhg: Perhaps that's another reason the Brits are doing so well !

A spot of mea culpa I admit, but I misunderstood what was being muttered to me through a mask. I gathered the "waiting room 1" (there were several others) I followed the endless red arrows on the floor to it. Inside were 5 people sitting staring at a large plasma screen showing all the stuff about covid we've all been watching for a year on tv. Occasionally one of them left & I wondered why, after watching the 6 minute video twice it dawned on me that you had to watch the video right through, before moving on to the next obstacle !! :0)

maybe that's the 5 minute wait post vac thing?

Amazed that with numerous online search engines available for medical research that people choose instead to go with answers from random strangers who may or may not have even had the vaccine

I will find out tomorrow, I know potential sides affects of feeling tired for up to 48 hours afterwards, will wait and see.

I read through this thread with bated breath. Thanks for posting this question and for (some of) the responses.

TonyV I had the oxford juice and got the full wack of minor side effects and it was still fine.

I am 71 and have Sarcoidosis of the lungs and the Sarcoidosis Society and my consultant advised having the vaccine so I did. I had the Pfizer jab four weeks ago and have had no adverse reactions.

No that came later & here it was a compulsory 30 minutes !

oh! and there was I thinking it was a clever timing idea!

Update: My previous posts were done on the day I had the Moderna jab.
In relation to the OP, I can now say that on the following day (Wednesday) I developed pains in my back in the lung area just below the scapula region, plus a great deal of flatulence (belching) as though I had swallowed a lot of air, this lasted about 36 hours.
I also had joint pains throughout my body.

All this had by Friday thankfully cleared & I now feel 100% fit.
