Just received my first dose of the vaccine, soon i can send Old Lady
Thumb and her 4 Daughters into retirement (LOL) Three weeks until
the second dose and then two weeks until full effect. Hooray!!
Arm was sore and little weak but nothing to put me know for the day.
Sore arm was just like the first shot. Next day I felt a little tired but that was it.
Can't wait for March 14.
No side effects from the 2nd dose of Pfizer vaccine.
I didn't have any effects either with the Pfizer, no soreness, nothing. I'm 62. My girfriend, who is 24 years younger than me, got the Moderna and was out of work for the 2 days after she got the second dose, with fever, fatigue and soreness all over her body.
The more I would rather just go get COVID itself. I know literally dozens of people who have had it, I have had several employees get it and the worst thing that happened to any of them was one of them missed a half day of work to go get that same treatment that Donald Trump received, he was back to work later that afternoon and was totally fine by the next day.
Here is my dilemma, MOST of the people I hear from who have gotten the vaccine have experienced worst symptoms than the people I know who have actually gotten COVID. Keep in mind that 80% of the people who get COVID NEVER show a single symptom and won't even know they've had it without getting tested. For all I know, I have had COVID already, it's not like I spent a lot of time hiding in my basement, I only wear a mask where and when absolutely required, I think it's highly likely that I have been exposed multiple times considering all the different women I have slept with over the last year, which while down from a normal year still numbered in the dozens. More than enough for it to be a LOT more likely that I have been exposed than not.
I honestly don't know. I am not afraid at all of COVID itself, and I have no desire to be knocked out of work for a couple of days due to getting a vaccine that is supposed to PREVENT me from getting sick. Sorry folks, but the math just doesn't add up for me.
Exactly!
"Vaccine: A product that stimulates a person's immune system to produce immunity to a specific disease, protecting the person from that disease."
Memory RNA (Phizer, Moderna) does not prevent one from getting covid-19, so how can it be called a vaccine? I've got to wonder why anyone would volunteer to be injected with a substance that does not prevent one from getting covid-19, from which there is a 99.8% survival rate. The long term effects on the human body of mRNA injection are not yet known, so getting "vaccinated" is tantamount to volunteering to be a lab rat. And the other one (Johnson & Johnson) has already been paused over health concerns.
They don't stay in your body or change your DNA. So whether you Clowns educate yourselves & grasp reality or not, get vaccinated NOW - if not for you, for everyone else you might care about, and for all the others you obviously don't.
.
Freshman biology covers the basic principles of mRNA and how it works. More advanced courses would cover immunology, physiology, statistics, and other background needed to understand "mRNA vaccines."
Yeah well i know 3 people that died from covid. Maybe you can do us a favor and catch it. Theres still time
Got my 2nd Moderna on 3/11 and had a pretty rough 24 hours (aches, fever and chills) but much better after that.
Received my second dose yesterday (3/26), arm is a little sore at
injection point but well worth it. Already mentally, feel better.
Anecdotal reports seem to say Moderna has more side effects than Pfizer. Anybody care to add to the debate? I’m one shot in to Pfizer. So far only a sore bicep. The second shot is the one to worry about of course.
Getting second Moderna shot today.
Had no issue with first shot.
Let you know how it goes.
Soar shoulder this morning.
No other side effects.
I was scheduled to get a J&J shot this afternoon but, because of the FDA, my provider has suspended injecting.
Should find out what the plan in on Thursday.
I was really looking forward to one shot and done.
I have Pfizer set up for tomorrow after lunch.
Does 1
First Pfizer shot went well yesterday.
20 hours later and mild, very mild arm pain. Nothing else
Second shot May 6th.
No side effects at all. He barely had injection site pain.
A neighbor of mine is late 60's and same thing...both Moderna shots with zero issue.
My driver yesterday was in his early 50's and said he was set to get his 2nd Moderna this coming Friday/16th and said he only had arm pain from his 1st Moderna dose.
Just about everyone else I know or have come across in person has done the Pfizer (including me (no issues)) or the J&J though.
A guy friend had a neighbor who is pretty fit with no other health issues that fainted after her 1st Pfizer shot but recovered fast so ... **shrugs**.
I had the 1st Moderna shot in May 2021.. Had it done at my pharmacy in NW Indiana.. but i didnt go home right afterwards.. i went and planted my vegetable garden.. the next day sure my upper left arm was sorer than crap but thats from working in garden.. so for 2 1/2 days i babyied my left arm... .. my 2nd Moderna has been delayed due to allergies right now.. I'll get the 2nd vaccine eventually.. lol
...of Pfizer this past Sunday.
A little bit of injection site muscle soreness, rather like day two after a heavy weights workout.
Other than that, I'm good to go!
Studies report that after the first dose of Pfizer one achieves an 80% level of protection.
I consider myself fully vaccinated at 80%, which is 20 points better than most flu shots.
I am taking the second dose more as insurance against the variants out there. When I walk out after shot 2 I will continue to consider myself fully vaccinated regardless of the two week waiting period.
when they say you are fully vaccinated after TWO shots, but there are spaces on the immunization record for two MORE.
or imaginary friends?
Harvey, too?
As with many other vaccines, it appears that boosters will be needed to provide full protection over time. Exactly what that time period is is still being studied, and it could vary by vaccine.
But I get a flu shot every year, so a COVID booster is no problem for me, if it turns out it’s needed.
FWIW I had only a tender injection spot for a couple of days from the first Pfizer shot and the same from the second PLUS I felt tired for about 3 hours after the second. No family members, friends or coworkers had bad reactions, except one family member who felt extremely tired for a day or so after the 2nd shot (Pfizer) and another who’s had COVID and felt very tired for a couple of days after the J&J shot. I’ve read that the first (or only) shot can hit those who’ve had COVID harder than those who haven’t had it.
I received my second Pfizer shot last Thursday. Same reaction....a little sore in the arm and very tired over the weekend.
Other than that, no issues.
Got the j&J vaccine early May--slight soreness in the arm at the injection site--went away the following day. No other side effects.
