Have you gotten a COVID vaccine?

[NAB]

One wonders how anybody is ever going to get their second shots. 1.69 million first doses have been administered since January and as of yesterday Alberta opened up eligibility for everybody 12 and over with Pfizer. I don't think I know anybody (except maybe the residents of LTC facilities who were in Phase 1 back in January) who is fully vaccinated.

Yeah there is a lot of the hospital worker still waiting on that second dose. Sad I would gladly let them have it .

Ah, yes...the ethics of vaccine distribution. Canada's delivery of Pfizer expected this month is apparently being taken from the Covax bank. I really don't even know how to feel about it.

Just curious, why the decision of the opposite arm for second dose?

I switched arms because my first arm bruised, and even though the pain dissipated, my bruise lingered for quite a while. At around the three-week mark, I had decided that if it was still there a week later, I would give them the other arm, only because I was going to feel pretty silly giving them what would basically be a built-in X-marks-the-spot.

The bruise actually faded during the last week of waiting, but the decision was still in my head when they asked me what arm. And since it was early in the morning, and I still wasn't fully awake, it didn't occur to me to rethink it.

Was doing great after second shot. Went to bed and started shivering. I could not gt warm. I didn't sleep well and today have a headache.

Update of my pevious post.

An 'investigation' by a medical group of the possibility that 16 weeks can be lessened to 28 days, and/or the 'mixing' of vaccine given at second dose. Also, that our pharmacies could do the required 'follow up' of the second dose. Some of our pharmacies have concerns about the 2nd dose notifications.

Had my second Moderna shot on Wednesday am. Came home and continued to work the rest of Wednesday with only a sore arm. Around 8:00 pm I started getting some fatigue and mild aches. Went to bed earlyish and actually slept pretty well - had the second shot in my right arm because I sleep on my left and that was annoying for a few nights after the first shot. Woke up feeling like a slug, had a low grade fever all day, dull headache and aches mostly through my hips and thighs. Took the day off, rested on the couch and felt it all starting to lift around 9:00 pm Thursday. Woke up Friday morning good as new. Was a much easier experience than I expected based on the vomiting and killer headache I had after the first shot and now I am counting down the days to May 19 when those antibodies will be at full strength. Get the shot!

I got my second Moderna shot yesterday and wow, did it ever hurt! Today I feel very sore all over and tired but luckily that is it.

Yes, this. I had Pfizer but am feeling mostly what you felt, aches, headache etc. I had aches through my right thigh from my hip to my knee. It's gone now thankfully. Hoping I feel better tomorrow.

Yep! I am 64 and got mine on March 12th. I got the Johnson and Johnson. I didn't have any reactions either. I got my AP back and going to the parks this coming Tuesday for the first time since February 2020. This has been the longest I haven't gone since early 90s hahahahaha

 

[Planogirl]

Ok so light fever has been added. I am glad that I had today to rest.

My younger daughter (28) got her second Moderna dose today (about 10 hours ago) and has a fever, headache and just grabbed a barf bowl. Poor girl.


Edit:
And is also freezing and her back hurts.

My 24 year old just had his second maderna shot. All he had was a sore arm.

 

[Silver saucer]

I just had my second Moderna shot. So far so good. I did pick up some comfort foods in case I feel unwell. A little Ben and Jerrys always helps!!

Just heard on the news that Pfizer was approved for 12-15

FDA has cleared it, CDC's Advisory panel has not yet. CDC meets Wednesday for the EUA ruling. That said I believe the expectation is they will recommend the lower ages.

 

[DisGirlAllie]

Officially vaccinated as of Friday! (Two weeks since my second dose)

 

[JLemaire7]

Update to my post from Thursday (I think): I still felt very tired and achy Thursday until Saturday and only yesterday was I feeling better. I also had some brain fog too. Also the injection site still hurts a little bit.

I expected some side effects but not for this long. I will have to time a third booster for a weekend. I am glad to be double vaxxed and of course as others have said its better than getting Covid.

 

[AndreaA]

Still haven’t gotten my period since before my first Pfizer vaccine. Normally my schedule is 26 days, max. Going on 35 now.

We are 60 hours+ since Pfizer shot #2. DH & I are in our early/mid 60s. Day one was a sore arm. Second day sore arm was less. We both felt a bit chilled but not sure how much was a side affect or the weather here was more like early March. We both were hungry. I had a slight headache but not sure if it was the shot , my sinuses or a cut down on my caffeine. We drank a lot of water along with some Gatorade.
We were tired yesterday but neither of us slept well the night before. Every time I rolled over I woke up due to the soreness in my arm. Same with DH.
Both times we got our shots before 9:00AM . We ate a regular breakfast then had lunch & dinner .
My Mom (late 80s) had the Moderna shots. Only side affects were sore arm & being hungry.( especially after #2).She said she was no more tired than normal.
