Double vaccinated with Moderna as of this coming Thursday; triple vaccinated with a Pfizer booster some time around October.
Many of our pfizer vaccines are now going to the 12-15 year old age group since they were only recently approved for pfizer. Anyone who had an mRNA vaccine the first time is recommended for any mRNA for their second dose.I may have missed this in earlier conversations, but is there a reason they mixed & matched? Did you have a reaction to Pfizer?
I have not yet....I keep putting it off because I am scared. I am supposed to go Monday, so I am fully vaccinated before school starts. I feel so foolish saying that because what is the alternative? Covid is scary too!
I have worked at home the past year but now I have to go back into the school and teach and I do not want to put any of my students or their families at risk.
I just hear all these nightmare stories about heart attacks, stroke, blood clots, and death from the vaccine and I am terrified.
I also read a lot of success stories too...

I'm in Alberta and I ended up with Moderna last Wednesday on top of my first AZ dose. We're short on Pfizer and the current supply is being used only for children. Zero side effects from the original AZ jab back in April but text-book fever, chills, headache and muscle/joint pain for 12 hours with the Moderna. Completely A-OK now though - issue me my vaccine passport and get me outta here!In Ontario, Canada. Received AstraZeneca in April and Pfizer last week. Had fever, chills, aches and felt tired for about a day after for both.
DH received a Pfizer and Moderna combo.
Feels like we now have a super power! We are so lucky!
DH and I did have side effects for about 12 hours, that were very similar to having covid, which we had. Twelve hours was much better than 2 weeks.I have not yet....I keep putting it off because I am scared. I am supposed to go Monday, so I am fully vaccinated before school starts.

I am totally okay with flu like side effects. What I worry about is the severe things like I mentioned. I know it says like .00017 percent or something like that, but it still makes it a possibility. I know COvid has an even higher percent. It really does help to read others experiences though.DH and I did have side effects for about 12 hours, that were very similar to having covid, which we had.

CalSea, I understand completely. Have you thought about getting a covid antibody test to see if you have the antibodies? I have been doing reading about the antibodies annd they are just as good if not better than the vaccine. Some of my coworkers got the antibody test, never had Covid symptoms, but got the test because it was given out and they have the antibodies and are not getting the vaccine until their antibodies are gone (they will get tested periodically)I have not yet....I keep putting it off because I am scared.
