Our child #1 had the Astra Zeneca vaccine last week (in BC) and had a reaction which put him in bed with fever and chill. After 24 hours he was fine. He was like that as a child and my wife and I refer to it as ‘He died for a day, the house went quiet and then he was back to his normal high powered self’.
