Packet reporter Emma Ferguson shares her experience of what it is like to get a Covid jab – and what comes after.
Despite more than 17.5 million people now having had their first one, it's not something that's been written about in detail very much: exactly what it's like to get a Covid-19 vaccination, and then the part that comes later.
