Pfizer in March and again at the end of April. No side effects either time.?ÿ
Second Pfizer was two weeks ago.
Arm soreness for 1-2 days typical of any other shot in the arm that I've had.
First Pfizer shot last month, just got a sore arm and a little fatigue the next day. Second shot this past Thursday, woke up Friday with an awful headache and fatigue (and somewhat sore arm again). Took some ibuprofen, and spent the day laying down, reading and napping. Went to bed a little earlier than normal, was feeling fine after I got up Saturday morning.
First Pfizer shot in mid January, just a sore arm. Second first part of February, sore arm and felt lethargic for about a day.?ÿ Well worth it.
Moderna in early February and early March. No major issues, slightly sore arm. Had to get a covid test to come back to the US a few weeks ago after a weekend trip to Mexico to see my daughter and grandson, that was worse than the shot (but only momentarily).
In the near future I have to go to South America to do a ground control survey, the client (major oil company) requires me to quarantine there for 7 days before I can do the work. The local government requires a negative test to enter the country, but it is the client who is requiring the quarantine. But at least they are paying a daily rate during quarantine.?ÿ
Pfizer.?ÿ Arm was sore after each shot; basically felt like I was 15 again and we were punching each other in the arm to see who flinched first.
I was a little fatigued two days after the first shot, however I had four liters of Hofbr??u Dunkel with dinner at a Bavarian restaurant the day after the shot, so who knows the real culprit.?ÿ?ÿ
Had both Moderna shots, no side effects except sore arm for a couple of days.?ÿ
Moderna for me and HWMBO, same days, both mid-50s.?ÿ
First shots: sore arms, no other reactions.?ÿ
Second shots: me: sore arm, next morning super tired but attended a 90 minute meeting--alert but had my eyes shut the entire time. Crashed for several hours in the afternoon and was chilled. Then worked for 4 hours in the evening because of a deadline. Fine by the next day.?ÿ
HWMBO: About 6 hours after the shot, was shivering and probably running a low fever. Took to bed and stayed there. Felt better late on the next day but continued out-of-sorts for another day or so.
As @seargentschultz said on post 2, but my second was on February 12:?ÿ
I took the Pfizer in March.?ÿ Virtually no perceptible reaction.?ÿ Slight sore arm, but only about 30% as bad as annual flu shot.?ÿ SWMBO (the coward) chose the J & J - she was similarly unaffected.
I have noticed a diminution of my faculties, but I attribute that to 50+ years of too-much-fun in my free time.....?ÿ
YMMV
Pfizer in March. Minor pain to the touch in my arm for a day, no different than any other shot.
My wife and two daughters also got Pfizer back in December & January (all front line medical) all with no issues.
My son in law had J&J was knocked for a loop for a day. Said he felt like he had the flu for a day.
My son just got his first shot last week when he got home from college, Pfizer, with no issues.
I had the moderna vaccine and no side effects the first couple of days but now there is a tattoo of Bill Gates face on my left arm.
Sorry, no adverse reaction to the Pfizer shots except for a sore arm at the injection site for 24 hours, which 95% of recipients report.?ÿ No worse than a flu shot and nothing compared to the bubonic plague regimen (3 shots), bacterial pneumonia shot (hurt like hell when injected), tetanus (which you have to renew every 10 years), and some other exotic vaccines I got in the '70s for overseas travel requirements.
I've had maybe 50 vaccination shots in my life and was minorly inconvenienced by them but behold, no disease I've been vaccinated against has killed me!?ÿ I'll sign up for every vaccine my primary care provider recommends 'till the day I die; it's 100 year old solid science with low risk. We should all clap hands that the CDC developed a COVID vaccine in less than a year which has proven safe and effective, truly a modern miracle.
There's been a recent slowdown in vaccinations in the US because of anti-vaxxers, etc., which I find quite sad given the innocuousness?ÿ nature of the vaccine;?ÿ if 80-90% of the population were vaccinated it'd only be weeks before the scourge died out.?ÿ But we live in the land of the free so can't do that without communal cooperation.?ÿ?ÿ
....no disease I've been vaccinated against has killed me!
Neither has any of those you haven't been vaccinated for. ?????ÿ
...COVID vaccine in less than a year which has proven safe and effective, truly a modern miracle.
Except it hasn't been proven safe or effective at all.?ÿ It's an experimental drug that was rushed through the testing process.?ÿ My sister is an RN and has followed the situation closely and refuses to give to her family based on the egregious lack of due diligence.
If the vaccine works out this time then it's because the CDC, drug companies, etc got lucky.
