1) I had my first Astra-Zeneca vaccine a week ago (on Wednesday) here in Melbourne, Victoria, Australia, and the only side affect were a sore arm that started some 6 hours afterwards and remained as an ache for around 5 days.
2) Yes, there have been cases of people who have developed "blood clots" after having the AZ vaccine. The cases have been in Britain, Canada and around three or four other countries. There was one case in Australia (Queensland).
3) The blood clots are attributed to an extremely rare blood condition that happens in around 1 in 100,000 people.
