I Feared I Might Lose Legs After Reaction To Jab But I Still Think Everyone Should Get Vaccinated

Sarah shocked by ordeal after AstraZeneca vaccine

A MUM feared she would lose her legs after suffering a severe reaction to the AstraZeneca coronavirus vaccine.

Sarah Beuckmann received her first dose of the jag on March 18 and initially developed flu-like symptoms.

But the 34-year-old began to feel a tingling sensation in her legs about seven days later and spotted a rash appearing around her ankles.

The Glasgow mum-of-one took herself to A&E as the painful blisters began to spread across her body.

She spent 16 days having tests at Queen Elizabeth University Hospital, with doctors determining she had suffered a reaction to the jab.

Despite her painful ordeal, the retail worker says she is not against vaccines.
