Got the shot

[GOPHER SLAYER]

My wife and got our shot at 11:00 AM today. It is now 1:56PM and still don't feel anything, wife either. Only one shot is required with this vaccine.

[smithnframe]

I guess you got the Johnson & Johnson? Both my wife and I got both of the Moderna shots with no ill effects!

[Winger Ed.]

Both my wife and I got both of the Moderna shots with no ill effects!

Same with us getting the heavier dose, first one a couple weeks ago.

[rick benjamin]

Wife is a caregiver, was prioritized and got both shots right away. I on the other hand became eligible March 1 but don't have a place in line at this time.

[osteodoc08]

No issues with my Pfizer vaccines. Mom got the first Moderna yesterday.

[Mal Paso]

Got shot today. J&J Injection site hurt after 4 minutes but went away quickly. I'll see how it goes. My neighbor got his a week ago and says his tail is still dragging.

[GregLaROCHE]

I just got a message yesterday. I hope I can get my first shot today. I think it’s going to be the Pfizer one.

[quack1]

Got my second Pfizer shot yesterday. Deltoid muscle at the injection site is slightly sore this morning, but no other effects.

[GregLaROCHE]

Just got my first shot. It was the Moderna vaccine. I go back for the second in two weeks. I’ll be glad to get all of this behind me.

[FISH4BUGS]

I am choosing to NOT get jabbed. I know the risks are small for an adverse reaction but i am not willing to take that chance.
I'll mask, wash my hands a lot and keep my hands out of my mouth and away from my face.
My interaction with the general public is low anyway.
With a survival rate of 99.3% I'll take my chances, thanks.

[bullet maker 57]

I got my first shot 10 days ago(Pfizer). Sore arm for a day and a little tired the next day. back to normal on the second day. Get the second shot in 10 days. I'll be glad when this is done.

[Big Tom]

Had the virus beginning of the year and will get my first Moderna shot tomorrow (OH now reduced eligibility age to 40).
With the unknown impact of Covid, it is a gamble with your life not to get the shot, no matter how physically fit or old you are. Even if it does not kill you, it was for sure the worst health related experience in my life...

Btw. if you cannot find an appointment online or through the scheduling phone system, reach out to your Doc's office - they got me and my wife an appointment within 2 hours.

[Battis]

My Dr told me to hold off - I have a shellfish and wasp allergy. He said if possible get the J&J one shot - it has less "stuff" in it.

[William Yanda]

My wife and I got the Moderna vaccine. Sore arms for a couple of days after the first. After the second, I was loggy the next day, slight fever that night. All gone the next morning.

[Three44s]

My State has a current threshold at age 65, I have 4 months to wait unless the criteria changes, which it likely will before then.

[bedbugbilly]

Both my wife and I have had our first shot of Pfizer - neither of us had any issues. I go get the second shot tomorrow and she gets her's on Saturday.

If you've already had the virus, why would you want the shot? I honestly don't understand. Your body already made a vaccine, so why stuff some unknown chemical concoction into it.

There are more and more places pulling the shots over allergy concerns. There are stories of "vaccinated" people being infected with the virus. There are stories of people dying after taking the shot. All of this over a virus that has basically the same death rate as the common flu. I believe statistically you have a higher risk of dying on the drive to get the shot, than from dying of the virus.

I'm gonna sit out this shot like I sit out the yearly flu shot. I was forced to the flu shot in the Army and I always got sick as a dog a few days after that and it lasted for a week or so. After I got out I never had another flu shot and I get the flu maybe once every 3 or 4 years.

I hope all of you that get the shot it all works out well for you.

[Freightman]

Wife and I got the second shot Moderna no reaction on eather.

[knifemaker]

Wife and I got the second shot of Moderna last week. On first shot, no side effects. On second shot, wife was tired next day and that went away in 24 hours. I had no side effects.

[jsizemore]

I got my second Moderna yesterday morning. 11pm last night I had the shakes and chills. I woke up every hour during the night after 15-20 minutes sleep. All my joints were painful and stiff. Wore out today. 1st shot was a breeze.

[jimlj]

First Moderna shot last Thursday. Other than thinking Nancy Pelosi is one hot babe no side effects. I hope that wears off.

I asked the Dr about the second shot and he confirmed that it was a higher dose. That’s why some people have more side effects from the second one.

[coloraydo]

Dude, that is enough reason right there NOT to get the shot. :Fire:

[Lloyd Smale]

wife and i both had the mederna and had no side effects at all. Dad got bit sick after then second dose but hes 90 years old.

[Thundarstick]

I'm in the "had it, not pleasant, lived, not taking the vaccine" group. If your body didn't build antibodies and an immune response from having it, what makes you think it will from an injection? On top of that I personally know several who had it, took the injection, then became deathly I'll afterwards. No one KNOWS what the long term effects will be, or how effective. This "vaccine" is experimental period!

[10-x]

FWIW, might consider getting shot when I know whats in it as in a factual medical term prescription.

[SeabeeMan]

My parents both get their first shot today, and my wife and I get ours at work next Friday. I'll report back

That is the bottom line. WE are the clinical trials.

[jsizemore]

Figured you be used to it from all the shots we got back in the 50's and 60's to "protect ourselves and others."

[FISH4BUGS]

Figured you be used to it from all the shots we got back in the 50's and 60's to "protect ourselves and others."

I was raised in the military and lived all over the world.
We got shots for every overseas duty station and they made me sick as a dog every time.
I'll pass on anything other than rabies (if ever needed) and tetanus.
I have had my polio shots as a kid. That's all I want.
The reality is that WE are the clinical trials.

[GregLaROCHE]

There was a rumor once that vaccinations caused Autism in kids. That rumor has been completely debunked. Vaccinations don’t cause Autism.

[bluebird66]

Both my parents had their first Maderna two weeks ago with no side effects. I hope when I take them back for the second one that they remain side effect free.

[fixit]

I don't believe that vaccines cause autism.... however, I suspect the way they are administered could have a causative effect. The standard operational process overloads a kid's not yet developed immune system as they give an entire raft of vaccines at once. Further, there is no differentiation in dosage for children and adults.

[CoolHandMoss]

Just got over my second moderna shot. An entire day in bed. Could hardly walk to the bathroom. I'm 31. Not fun.

[GregLaROCHE]

Unfortunate you got so sick. At least now you’re past it. I’m going on my second day with the first shot. I just have some soreness where it was injected. I hope my second shot doesn’t give me side effects as bad as yours.

[knifemaker]

Wife and I got our second Moderna vaccine shot last week. On first shot neither of us had any side effects. On second shot I did not have any side effects. Wife felt tired the day after the second shot and that went away within 24 hours. I am 73 and wife is 69.

[Three44s]

Just got word that ole Inslie dropped the age for “the shot” to 60 years old on March 31st here in WA

I guess the cross hairs are about on me very soon after all!

[Big Tom]

Well, I get your point and only take the shot to increase the likelihood of not getting it again. The people that I know who had Covid in early 2020 had antibodies for about a year, but none of them has (enough of) antibodies to not get infected again, so they can technically get it again any time.

The vaccines that modify the DNA parts are supposed to be "good for life" - time will tell, but for now, I trust the chemical mix more than my body's antibody production. After being in the hospital for almost a week, sucking in oxygen like a 150 year old climbing the Mount Everest, the last thing I want to do is feeling that close to death ever again.

I totally understand everybody who has concerns about getting the shot, either because of allergies or the unknown with rDNA vaccinations overall. Ultimately, it is a decision everybody has to make on their own.

The one thing I can tell you - it is not like the flu. If you have a severe case and survive it, you will never forget it.

Same here, 1st Moderna was just a slightly sore shoulder for a couple days. Second Moderna kicked my butt good at the 36hr mark, and it lasted 36hrs. Shakes, chills, but no fever, just didn't want to move for a day after it settled down.

[MrHarmless]

I don't believe that vaccines cause autism.... however, I suspect the way they are administered could have a causative effect. The standard operational process overloads a kid's not yet developed immune system as they give an entire raft of vaccines at once. Further, there is no differentiation in dosage for children and adults.

Every vaccine administered by doctors has specific timing criteria between it and a follow up dose (legally), as well as a time required between different vaccines (also legally). Some can be administered in close proximity, some cannot. This is based on the clinical trials that demonstrated their efficacy and the impact on their effectiveness. They don't do them all at once.

Here's a link to a lot of the more common vaccines out there. You can also find the clinical trial data with a few more clicks: https://www.cdc.gov/vaccines/hcp/acip-recs/index.html

It seems to be a common misconception that your antibody titers will remain high from having had Covid or anything else for that matter. Antibody titers drop off over time, but your body has the blueprint for making the antibodies on file to ramp up production. This is the exact principal inoculations and vaccines work from, introduce an antigen, the body produces an antibody corresponding to it, or with mRNA force your body to make its own antigen.

[bedbugbilly]

I got my second shot last Thursday - Pfizer - no real side effects other than felt a little tired (more than usual) on Saturday but nothing to write home about. My wife got her second shot this past Saturday . . . she had a short tie Saturday night where the felt a little chilled and a slight headache - on Sunday she felt more tired than usual but this morning is feeling good.

We hear how "one type is better than the others" but I really don't put much stocking that. I think it all depends on each individual. I talked with my kidney doctor a week ago and she said that she had some chills, headache, etc. after her first Pfizer shot but she didn't care as she would put up with it an keep her mouth shut if anyone asked when she went to get her second shot - as she said . . . "I'll take the minor inconvenience of those side effects over the effects of full blown Covid". She is not that much younger than I am, like all of us "older ones" she has some health issues and i agree with yer 100%.

Every person has to decide for themselves whether they want the vaccine or not - and I respect that.

For my wife and I. . . we both appreciate the opportunity to get them and those locally who worked to give the vaccine.

[yeahbub]

No way am I getting the jab for an illness that has a 99+% survival rate. Friends and co-workers are telling stories of people they know who are puking ill after the shot. I've no interest being a guinea pig for the product of companies that have been indemnified against any accountability for negative results. If it's so safe and wonderful, how come they're untouchable when it comes to accountability?

A friend's aging parents both got C-19 and were pretty sick. He got them a prescription for hydroxychloroquine, zinc and vitamins and they were fine later that day. What do we need an experimental vaccine for? We already have effective treatments for it. Seems to me we're being hitched up to pull Big Pharma's plow through raiding the treasury.

[super6]

My wife and I are both 66 and did the moderna treatment. No ill effects yet, been a week. Our second shot will come in three weeks. Seems they stretched the time out?

[gbrown]

Each person is different, each person has an immune system that is different. There are all different explanations. How we react is, basically,
who we are. I got the first Moderna on Thursday. Sore arm for 24 hours, then feels fine. Ain't scared of it, at all. We'll see..

[shooterg]

My wife and I got the Moderna vaccine. Sore arms for a couple of days after the first. After the second, I was loggy the next day, slight fever that night. All gone the next morning.

Got the first of these . I tell people I got the "Madea" shot !

[Shawlerbrook]

Second Pfizer shot this coming Saturday. I respect anyone that wants to not get the shot, but I hope no one will try to talk others out of or into getting it. As someone that spent my professional life in the science field, I appreciate how much better our lives are because of scientific advances.

[Froogal]

Many, many folks have now been vaccinated. Just in the last few days, there is now a very alarming uptick in the number of positive covid tests. Coincidence? You be the judge, but my wife and I will NOT be getting the shot.

[BigAlofPa.]

The wife and I have got both shots in. Only sides i had for 2 days was tiredness and some break outs in a sweat. After the 1st shot my sugars were up for 2 1/2 weeks. Second shot only 2 days.

[Huskerguy]

I have had two lung diseases so my Doc said to wait until there was data on these vaccines. Yesterday our town put out they had 275 J&J doses and my wife (65) and I (67) went in and got it around 11:30am. I worked my butt off all day around the house and could feel things coming on around 7:00pm or so. The nurse who stuck me said to expect a reaction and getting one is a good sign of a stronger immune system. I went to bed around 11:00 and could feel the tiredness and body aches coming on. About 12:30 I woke up hot and very achy. Slept in today and still not moving very quickly today. Arm feels great, no soreness but I am really tired. However, I react to everything, had the same reaction to the shingles vaccine as well. Wife has had zero reaction, no sore arm, nothing.

I hope all of you that get the shot it all works out well for you.

I'm the same (except the army part). I have only had the Flu twice in my life. Once about 7 years ago and once when I was a kid after getting the ONLY flu shot I ever got. I remember when I was a manager at walgreens, I was the only manager that didn't get a flu shot and I was the only one that didn't get really sick that year.
As with everything else with the WuFlu, there is so much propaganda and outright lies thrown out as fact that I am suspicious about anything else the folks spreading the info are pushing. Besides I also question the effectiveness of a shot that only has a 90% chance of preventing "serious" cases of a virus that there's a 98% chance that there won't be a serious case WITHOUT a shot

[scattershot]

“there is so much propaganda and outright lies thrown out as fact that I am suspiscious about anythign else the folks spreadign the info are pushing. Besides I also question the effectiveness of a shot that only has a 90% chance of preventing "serious" cases of a virus that there's a 98% chance that there won't be a serious case WITHOUT a shot. “

I feel that way, too, but my wife thought it would be a good idea, so.....

I got my second Moderna shot Friday. Saturday, I was tired, lethargic, and dizzy all day, but by Sunday all that had passed.
