I'm Fully Vaccinated With The AstraZeneca (Vaxzevria)

Have you been vaccinated? Alhamdulillah, I'm fully vaccinated with the AstraZeneca (Vaxzevria) vaccine! In June when JKJAV open a slot for volunteers for the Astrazeneca vaccine for Johorian, pukul 9 pagi me and my sister sudah bersedia depan laptop untuk battle for the slot! 

At first JKJAV mentioned that registration will start at 12:00 then tunggu punya tunggu, nothing comes out! Then they announce on Twitter yang tukar pula time ke pukul 12:15. Kecoh gila masa tu. Part nak confirm-kan appoinment date lagilah macam apa. Nak select negeri siap kena non-stop clicking, nak select date at first available then when to confirm tak boleh sebab tetiba full pula. Ahh the most memorable experience sepanjang pandemic ni.

So back to AstraZeneca, the AstraZeneca (AZ) vaccine is also known by several other names in scientific papers, including:

• ChAdOx1
• AZD1222
• Vaxzevria

Similar to many other COVID-19 vaccines, the AstraZeneca vaccine is given in two doses. The second dose is given between 28 to 84 days (4 to 12 weeks) after the first dose. But lucky then waiting gap for the second dose dipendekkan ke 9 minggu sahaja. Sedih jugalah mula-mula sebab kau yang terawal cucuk vaksin but terakhir complete second dose hahaha!

Macam penerima vaccine lain, penerima vaksin AstraZeneca juga akan mendapat some side effects after vaccine. Tapi sepanjang what I observe dikalangan staff kat office, orang-orang AZ je yang demam teruk atau dapat side effect yang melampau sikit. Penerima vaccine lain semua after their first dose relax-relax je. Second dose lah baru ada yang letih dan demam sikit. 

Side effect is normal. Itu tandanya vaccine mula bekerja pada badan. No need to worry unless effect dan simptoms tu berpanjangan dan makin teruk, cepat- cepat dapatkan rawatan di klinik atau hospital berdekatan!

My side effects after vaccine

 1st dose side effect : 

• Fever - 2 days
• Chill
• Headache - 3 days
• Muscle and joint pain - 2 days
• Fatigue  -  3 days
• Sleepiness  -  1 week
• Appetite - Increasing!

2nd dose side effect :

• Pain at jab area -  2 days
• Headache - On the second day
• Nausea -  On the second day
• Appetite - Reduce!

For the 2nd dose, hari ketiga everything dah OK. No weird feeling, no pain, nothing! Paling lega bila tak demam. Because some of people cakap second dose akan lagi worst dari 1st dose, so agak risaulah juga. But Alhamdulillah, semua dipermudahkan.

By the way, I received my vaccination at PPV Mega AstraZeneca Persada Johor. Semua process cepat dan teratur, arrangement pun ok. Cuma sekalilah PPV Persada viral due to high volume people sampai kena beratur panjang haritu sampai TMJ kena monitor the issue. The rest oklah. Now penerima vaksin lain pun ada kat PPV Persada, sometimes sedikit sesaklah kot but still OK. Yang mencari parking, yang menunggu, yang kena jalan sedikit, yang kena beratur sikit, harap bersabar, OK? Yang penting pergi cucuk vaksin!

LINDUNG DIRI. LINDUNG SEMUA.

Stay safe everyone.
