Further Resources

I’ve had my first dose of AstraZeneca, should I get Pfizer for my second dose?

No, this isn’t necessary. If you have had your first AstraZeneca vaccine dose without any serious side
effects, you can receive your second dose as planned.

To ensure maximum long term immunity, it is important you receive two doses of the same COVID-19
vaccine.

After Your Vaccination

After receiving any vaccine, you may experience minor side effects. Most side effects are mild and last no more than a few days.

Common reactions to COVID-19 vaccinations include:

  • a sore arm
  • headache
  • low level fever
  • muscle pain
  • chills
  • tiredness, or
  • joint pain.

 

You can use the COVID-19 vaccine side effects symptom checker if you have concerns about any symptoms after your vaccine. The checker is also available through the National Coronavirus Helpline, 1800 020 080, 24 hours a day.

Two Doses

Please note, you will require two doses of the COVID-19 vaccine (Astra Zeneca).

These will need to be at least 6 weeks apart.

When you book your first jab, you can also book an appointment at the same time for your second jab.
