Tammin Sursok live-blogs her mild Covid-19 vaccine side effects after getting the jab with husband Sean McEwen – but insists they’re ‘doing pretty good’
Actress and influencer Tammin Sursok has updated fans on how she and husband Sean McEwen are doing, after they had the coronavirus vaccine in the U.S.
The Pretty Little Liars star, 37, revealed in a series of Instagram videos on Tuesday they were both ‘doing pretty good’ and that she’d only suffered mild side effects, including tiredness and a sore arm.
It comes after Sean battled Covid-19 earlier this year, losing 6kg (13lbs) while battling the respiratory virus.

‘We’re doing fine, my arm is a little sore now. It was sore the first time straight away. It’s taken about five hours to get to work,’ Tammin explained.
‘I’m a little tired, I think that because I’ve had two kids, but that’s it for now.’
While sharing a video from bed, Tammin said that Sean had the ‘chills’ but was laughing about how she had a bit of a dead arm.

Hours before receiving the result, Tammin confirmed that her husband was ‘really weak’ and had lost ’15 pounds in two weeks,’ or 6.8kg.
‘Once you’re past the scary phase and your loved one is OK, it’s still such a disruption to your life, and your kid’s lives and the person who is sick’s life,’ she said.

‘Please be safe, and I know that the fatigue of all this gets overwhelming – I get it, because it’s happening to me too.
‘But there will be some light at the end of the tunnel and we will get back to our normal lives.’
