thank you, legsdiamond, for starting that other hugely important post. Its mostly debate about the vaccine itself, though

But i think its super important and handy if people who have gotten the vaccine can use this post to log their experiences all in one place, without having to muddy through the rest on the other post.

It still makes me emotional to think about how we are all living through this time, on top of everything else...

RIP to the almost 390,000 US lives lost to Covid-19.

Reaction to first dose: None or very mild. I had some chill and diarrhea about 18 hours after the shot - but I also had some Thai food that may have done that. Seriously - it might have been the Thai food.

Reaction to second dose: None (48 hours out so far.)

No issues. Outside of her normal reactions when she gets a vaccine. Achy and sleepy.

My mom got her first shot on Friday, which i'm really glad about

she was very opposed to it a few months ago and I'm glad i was able to convince her

"But rest assured, in my luxurious house built on the backs of people darker than me, I am sipping fine scotch and scoffing at how stupid you are." - bshelly

which is typical of any injections for me

developed chills, headache, and fatigue 24 hours after the second dose which resolved by the following morning

Unlike most accounts, I had a reaction on my first shot

Primarily site soreness

I had asthma as a kid and got weekly shots, so needles don’t bother me

Shot was nothing.

I ate before my appointment, but was immediately hungry after the shot and a little lightheaded...which quickly passed

Didn’t even immediately associate it with the shot it was so minor

Went to sleep and I must’ve rolled over on my shoulder...woke right up

Shoulder was sore as $hit for about 3 days

Datall.

Took Tylenol on a recommendation before my 2nd shot

No reaction.

Obviously this mRNA vaccine is a new thing

But the traditional inoculated vac from J&J is still months away

Get it if you can.

The first one I had fatigue and arm pain for one day. For the second one, I had longer pain in my arm and underarm. I had slight chills two days later but that was it.

Not YOU in particular, didn't mean it to sound that way.

It was aimed at these FOOLS that I hear talking about 'I'm going to wait and see before I take it!'

It's been months that the shots been out, no one has exploded or had unexplained telekinesis or grown a tail.

I ended up dropping out of the study after getting my shot. They’re moving to a blind crossover trial. Which means if you got the shot you’ll get the placebo, but if you got the placebo you'll get the shot. But that wouldn't be available until late April early May. That’s too long to wait when
1. I’m eligible for a shot right now
2. Hunting for a shot is a lot of work and if I don’t have to do that I could use that time better.
3. Everyday I send my kids out of this house I'm increase the risk.

They haven't called yet and already I'm tired of seeking out appointments.

First shot was immediate pain. That lasted for a few hours then headache and fatigue
This one my arm still hurts two days later and there’s swelling at the site.

I guess a bit of arm pain with the first one, but honestly less than other vaccinations I've received. We'll see about the second one. I have two colleagues who've received it and one was fine, just a bit tired and the other really struggled.

I'm a pretty big baby, so I hope it's close to the former.

Pfizer Dose 1. Quick and Easy. Saw FEMA, CalFire, Forestry Service and more making it happen. Wife got hers the day before at the same location. Arm a little sore for two days, no side effects now on Day 4.

I'm ready to run to the spot as soon as they say I can get it.

--- praying for peace, love, and power

Got it last week. Arm was sore around the injection site for a few days, but no big deal.

I was definitely more tired than normal that evening, and a bit tired and not feeling great the next day. Nothing major though.

Got my shot yesterday afternoon. Felt fine. Woke up today feeling groggy and tired- though to be fair I often feel that way before coffee. Coffee did nothing today. Groggy and tired, bloodshot eyes all day. Can’t think clearly or focus on anything. Some nausea when I get up, now. Just feel bad in general. Hope I wake up tomorrow feeling better because this is no fun. I’m about 24 hours after my shot, right now.

which would seem to be lymph nodes swelling up as part of the immune reaction. That’s the only issue I still have though, but it has lessened. Everything else cleared up that second day after getting the shot.

Sounds like some people have gotten it a lot rougher than others.

and since then I’ve been 100%.

That one day was rough though. Never been that “foggy” for that long.

we were hesitant but if she is going to be in the school system it makes sense to get it.

and if she is getting it, I have to get it as soon as its available.

Dad got the Pfizer. He did fine both times (arm was a little sore).

Mom got Moderna. She felt a little crappy the following day after the second, but recovered fine the day after that.

Moms just retired, and my Dad is a like a year or so away. I'd actually like for them to be able to enjoy their retirement and not be locked up in the house for the foreseeable future. Hopefully next year they'll be able to enjoy themselves.

I received my second dose of the Pfizer vaccine last week. (Disclaimer, I work for Pfizer).
I had the normal shoulder soreness with a slight headache ~48 hours after the second dose. But I also had some wine the night before. The headache was nothing that taking a couple ibuprofen didn't cure.

did they give it to y'all early on or you had to wait?

"But rest assured, in my luxurious house built on the backs of people darker than me, I am sipping fine scotch and scoffing at how stupid you are." - bshelly

Not all employees are eligible to receive it. I work in a lab so I was able to receive it as I am onsite a couple days a week. Employees who only work in offices and have not been on site have not been offered the vaccine yet.

I usually don't experience much from vaccinations except for the occasional arm soreness for a day. After I received my first dose of Moderna in January, my arm was sore for a few days and I experienced fatigue. I was sluggish for quite a few days then I was back to normal.

Getting my second dose this Friday.

Got the second dose this past Friday. Did a lot better. Arm was sore and body aches the next day but effects started to subside later that night. By Sunday I felt completely fine. Yay immune system!!!

i check my email everyday

i haven't been sick at all in any way in almost 2 years so i'm honestly a bit nervous about experiencing the side effects...

I get the 2nd next week.

even tho we are both skeptical of how quickly they were manufactured its a necessary evil since she is required to work in person at her school.

that in non emergency times, vaccine research and production was always hampered by funding and other logistical delays (labs being backed up for analysis, people taking their time to read & peer review docs, evaluation logistics logjammed)...it took a long time because of those obstacles

in an emergency, those hurdles don't exist.

"But rest assured, in my luxurious house built on the backs of people darker than me, I am sipping fine scotch and scoffing at how stupid you are." - bshelly

so that weren't starting from scratch.

Feel kind of blah today, but if it's due to the shot then it's not as dramatic as I've been led to believe. Honestly, may be more due to the cold, grey day.

So yeah. All vaccine'd up. Gonna find some folks to cough in my mouth.

I'll let you know how it goes. I had covid in the week of thanksgiving. Fortunately my case was very mild even though I have asthma. I thought it was a cold until my gf (we live together) caught it form me and had it worse than i did. I'm not too concerned about side effects form the vaccine.

I have a mild headache and I feel tired. That's it so far.Gonna go to sleep early.

Had the slightest bit of soreness in my arm, less than with the flu shot I got in the fall. And a bit of a headache the following day. Took a coupe tylenol (nurse said not to take ibuprofen) and it cleared up pretty quickly. Next dose in 3 weeks.

Two days of mild arm soreness. Maybe felt sliiiiightly off on monday. Very mild.

I likely had COVID in March 2020 (living in NYC / lost smell and taste for a week).

No issues other than a slightly sore shoulder today.

somewhat sore shoulder. that's it.

kev

and it was hell all day Sunday. Tired, chills, body aches, and my injection area was super swollen (not enough to cause alarm though). I took off on Monday because I was still a bit weak. My Mom and my Aunt were completely fine lol. It seems like this vaccine doesn’t make older people as sick.

Federal Sites opened up 100% to teachers of any age. Publix, Walmart, etc followed suit since they partner with the Feds. Me, my wife, and every other teacher i know in Florida have now been vaccinated.

The 70% is very good with these type of things (50% for a flu shot is considered excellent). Plus, of the percentage that had COVID during testing, no one went to the hospital or died. For them, it was, well, like the flu.

newer strains. the others were not. at least not prior to release. so the j&j numbers don't look as good in comparison, but that's more a timing issue.

Y'all buy those labels, I was born supreme

I was sore for about 48 hours but nothing else. One thing that just came out is that the South African variant seems to not care about any of these vaccines so I'ma stay vigilant even after the 2nd shot in early April.

45 really set us up for some societal pain.

Basically got the second shot at 9, felt great all day (save for sore arm), and around 10 PM started having flu-like symptoms. Basically slept very little, night sweats, sore all over, etc... but by 9 AM the next morning, I was mostly better, save for fatigue (but I hadn't slept much so that tracks).

Shot in my left arm, it felt a little sore but no other symptoms.

I figured I’m still relatively young, healthy and have no pre-existing health conditions so why not get the JnJ.

Also, CVS could get me in ASAP to get the JnJ but I would have had to wait two weeks for the others.

she's immune compromised so i'm pretty relieved. as of right now, no side effects from either dose.

Showed up and the line was wrapped around the block.

I've NEVER seen such a smooth operation, I was in and out and less than an hour


No side effects to report.

Getting the second shot on the 31st, they say that one is supposed to have more intense side effects

lots of complaints about side effects with Azy
It sounds a lot like pfizer/moderna
have one friend that has taken the first shot (she's a pharmacist)
waiting to hear her experience with the second

i myself would never want to be god,or even like god.Because god got all these human beings on this planet and i most certainly would not want to be responsible for them, or even have the disgrace that i made them.

My arm is a ever so slightly sore where I got poked but really not bad at all. No issues besides that.

End to end the process took about an hour.

I'm feeling a bit chilly but that's about it so far.

There was a little soreness and swelling for a day or so but no big deal tbh. Only slightly worse than a flu shot.

Not sure where other folks are but I went in Brooklyn @ Medgar Evers and it could not have been easier, more seamless, or quicker.

I spent more time looking for parking than I did going through the actual process.

*chef's kiss*

But once that was done it was cake.

Some soreness at the shot spot. Otherwise it's fine.

But hell, what do I know?
