This will have been a vaso-vagal attack rather than being due to the vaccine itself.

GP for more years than I care to remember



It could just be that it was a defence mechanism from your body, you may want to consult your GP though.

I pass out from most needles, be it a blood sample or an injection, since I have a phobia of needles and due to my Epilepsy I have panic attacks and seizures as a result, thus me passing out is a defence mechanism from my body.



Report it as an adverse vaccine reaction. There's an online form at the National Vaccine Informaiton Centre.
Adverse vaccine reactions are very common, however patients are rarely, if ever, advised about them by health care workers. They usually blame it on "something else" which is not only illogical but misleading. Adverse reactions can include faintness, dizziness, shortness of breath, asphyxiation, severe headaches, muslce spasm, paralysis and death.



the body has an intelligence greater than ours, and far superior to the idiots who came up with the idea of injecting garbage into it past it's natural defences. were it not for this intelligence, far more people would die from this quackery than do now.



you're fine. The anti-vaccine brigade live in the cushioned 21st century and don't know how terrible these diseases are.



possibly postural hypotension. You should always sit for about five minutes after any injection, blood drawn.
