NEVER!!! me and shots dont mix!

WE hear about the "symptoms" that are possible after the shot.. Anyone have any GOOD symptoms ??

March 18, routine annual doctor appointment. Doctor is not there, he has had leukemia, so avoids direct contact as much as possible. So I see his PA. The wife(CCU nurse) and her boss say to ask my doctor to send me to the hospital because they have vaccines and I should qualify because of my asthma, if not that, Monday the 22 was my birthday and that put me over another magic number for eligibility, so I should easily qualify for the vaccine.

PA starts asking me about vaccines. A lot of them. Shingles, tetanus, Covid. I say I think I would like to get the Covid one. She says she’s not sure I qualify. She seems one of these people with a 10-1 talk to listen ratio. Anyway, I say that I’m pretty sure I do. She comes back with “did you get a flu shot?” No. “Do you want one?” At the end of March??? Why bother? Wouldn’t it be better to vaccinate against the more serious issue?

She says, well you can get the flu shot now, we have it here. And flu season goes until may. We’ll be setting up our own Covid vaccine clinic very soon and we can let you know when we have room for you. Well, ummm ok I guess.

So they give me the shot, and tetanus, then tell me that I can’t have the Covid shot for a minimum of two weeks from a flu shot. Argh, ok....

During the wee hours of the 30th, I wake up with a fever and aches, get tested and wouldn’t you know it. Argh! Phone rang later that day, was the doctor office, telling me there clinic was set up and they had a slot for me.

Gee, thanks.

Funny thing going on. It’s been a little over 3 weeks since my first moderna shot. I’m due my next this Thursday.
The past few days my shoulder hurts like heck where I got that shot.
It hurts much worse than the original soreness.
Not unbearable but pretty darn sore. Just wondering if anyone else has had this.

I work with barbed wire and rusty stuff of some sort almost daily. But thanks for your concern.

I’d say 3” below the top of my shoulder.

My 40 year old son and his wife got sicker than heck , Friday night after there second shots.

COVID Will never be gone? Move on with your life and wear your muzzle “If you feel the need too” The vaccine is available to everyone now if you trust it. So if the vaccine is out there and AVAILABLE to everyone then why are states still having different restrictions on local private owned businesses and other thing? Oh wait it’s not available to everyone right now because j and j vaccine is causing blood clots.... SIGN ME UP

I have had two shots of Moderna.. Only minor reaction to second shot...

have both shots, no side effects on either.

A lot of assumptions were made about herd immunity. Was it like chicken pox and mumps, one and done, or more like a cold that you get over and over. Also,, the “novel” aspect of the virus. The first round through the population there were no human antibodies, now there is, changing our ability to fight the disease if not totally preventing acquiring it.

Make your own decisions about the vaccine, I’m fine with that. Be careful saying you’d rather have the disease than the shot....after what my sister has gone through, some side effects can’t be much worse, unless we’re talking pushing up daisies.

Far too many assumptions were made publically by ALL those "EXPERTS" that were suppossed to be informing the public of ALL the aspects of this virus but They ALL  failed miserably,,!! From the "get-go",  it became obvious that most of the statements from the scientists were politically motivated which soon became the biggest CF the public has EVER had to contend with,,,,,forcing us to make our own decisions about yay or nay on having any sort of faith in our leadership,,,,AND,,,the vaccines THEY were pushing on us. THEN,,,,those same people started to proclaim the vaccines as Trump"s Vaccines and forced us to make yet another decision,,,,!!! It seemed nobody was thinking about OUR HEALTH,,!!  It's just TOO dang bad that our leaders place more importance on politics than they do on making good decisions FOR US,,,,,,,Sad to say,,Far TOO many people have died and more will continue to die because of those decisions THEY Forced on US,,,decisions that had a political taint to it,,,and that is what I believe people will long remember about this virus.

Had both phizer shots lin March. 

No problem with the first shot but the second was a whopper.  Woke up that night with body aches from head to toe.  Felt like I was kicked in the kidneys.  Had chills and a racing heartbeat.

Took a few days for all the effects to wear off but am fine now.
