    I guess you got the Johnson & Johnson? 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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

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

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.
