Covid vaccine today

Post by ken123 »

Well my wife and I got vaccinated today with a followup scheduled. No side effects. Getting a shot was a real PITA with limited local availability. How are all of you doing getting a shot? Any reasons for hesitancy?

I had the first dose of moderna. I had a low fever the next day (100.6). There seems to be some speculation that having a response (feeling crappy) to the first dose could mean that you have already had COVID-19. This morning I heard people that have already had COVID-19 may only need the first dose. I’m planning on getting the second dose.
I’m really looking forward to seeing everything returning to normal.

Whole family got the Moderna shot Wednesday. Two out of 3 of us had sore arms. The other one felt tired.

The LOL thing here is one of us is working for Biontech. They all had a good laugh about that. Looking forward to the second shots next month and being immunized mid-May.

One of our employees has a sibling that works for moderna, one of the perks was the whole family was front of the line for the vaccine.

Wife and I are about 10 days post the first shot. They are not easy to schedule here, but it is possible. I slept that first day, then felt fine. Not looking forward to the second dose of Pfizer, but I am looking forward to another layer of protection.

I got my first Moderna last Thursday. Within 5 hours, I was feeling crummy and 12 hours after the shot, I had a fever (100), chills, shakes, and a bad headache. That all lasted about 36 hours. Of course, I had a pretty bad case of COVID in November, so I think my immune system kicked into high gear after the shot.

Having COVID was awful - I was really sick for about two weeks - so the minor discomfort of getting the shot shouldn't deter anyone from getting vaccinated. I have dozens of friends who got vaccinated and had only sore arms and maybe a headache.

I'm finished with my vaccine and got the Pfizer shots. No side effects for the first shot and after the second shot I woke up the next morning with a sore arm, but that was better by the end of the day. There's nothing I'd worry about with getting any of the shots.

It seems that the side effects, especially those experienced after the 2nd shot, are more common and significant for those under 55.

I got my Pfizer a week or so ago. Second is on the 15th. I had a headache that evening, felt a bit under the weather. Nothing bad. My arm around the injection site was sore the next day and a bit the day after. Nothing that stopped me. I had the shot in my dominate arm. My neighbor works in a hospital and said that way, I would work out the soreness quicker. The nurse giving me the shot thanked me. She tries to convince everyone of that, but most people take it in the non-dominate arm. I had to wait forever to qualify, but managed to get it the first week I qualified.

Felt a small amount of soreness the next day in my left deltoid. No big deal. Good luck to all of us.

My wife and I got both our Moderna shots last month. After the first shot we each had slight sore arms, after the second shot I had upset stomach, chills and fatigue while my wife just had a headache. That evening we each took a few Advil Dual Action pills and went to sleep. We got our shots at 9:30 AM and didn't feel any effects until around 7: PM and we were fine the next day. After our experience we told our friends and they took the Advil or Tylenol early and they were fine with mild symptoms.

Just got my 2nd shot yesterday. Pfizer for me. 1st shot gave me a sore arm. So far nothing from the 2nd. Let's hope everyone gets vaccinated soon, it's for the best. Good luck and God bless to all of us!

Vivienne and I got our second Moderna shots 2 days ago. Yesterday had high grade flu like symptoms. Headaches, bad body aches, injection site soreness, tiredness. Not nice but I am so happy to have had them. My doc said it is just a really good antibody response. Whatever, I urge, plead even, everybody to get vaccinated. It is the only way we get back to normal. Whatever that is.Aloha and stay safe and well.

Sorry, I don't feel confident taking it, I am declining it.

The CV jab is experimental and released as such (two year trial). It is voluntary and one takes it by consent. Many people had serious side-effects including death and no one is held responsible if there is a problem - it is taken voluntarily by consent.

CV-19 is said to be 99.9N% survivable by most people. Those are very good odds and there are very safe and effective anti-viral medications available if I did get it.

As I understand, it is an experimental gene therapy including CRISPR technology that includes tissue from aborted babies. Call me old fashion, but I want no part of this and do not want to be part of the trial.

There is also so much contradictory information. I read the CV jab has a ~95% effectiveness yet may not provide any real immunity!

To me it is not worth the risk. This is how I see it, you may not see things in the same light - please don't flame me for my views.
