    My second dose (Pfizer) was on Tuesday. I experienced a slightly sore arm at the injection site. I felt a little light headed for a short time, but that was all. If anything, the side effects seemed less than the first.

      Glad you got it done, Jolly. Will your bride also have hers done soon?

      Finally got her on three different lists. Her docs have been apoplectic...She's one of those folks like Jon, who should have been a higher priority.

      I have a friend in that category, too. Her hubby has gotten both of his shots, and she hasn't had any yet. Her health is far more fragile than his, but he does the errands for them , so he has more risk of getting the virus. It's a lottery system here for each tier or category of people. He was one of the very first ones here to get it, and she is still waiting to start. They're the same age, thus the same tier.

            I got the test last Saturday, where they ram this cotton swab Q-tip up your nose until it comes out your ear. Didn't like it at all.

            Regarding the vaccine, I read somewhere that if you feel sick after getting the vaccine, that's good, because it mean your body is reacting and building antibodies or something. If you don't feel a bit lousy, the vaccine is not doing its job.

            The above is enough to have our resident physicians to chime in with anger to correct a layman's nonsense. But seriously, is there anything to the reason some people feel so lousy, while others' feel just fine, other than, "well, that's just the way it is."

              This video is central to the Oregon Covid web site. I thought I'd post it here for your collective enjoyment, or perhaps more interestingly, for erudite feedback spotting BS.
              Listening to the soft, confident voices of Fauci et al. brings me comfort. There is no way a virus could overwhelm such voices, a virus, any virus, would be scared to death of such confidence in regards to developing an RNA type of vaccine. Little virus, uses a tiny little gun, to commit virus suicide.
              Thanks, Fauci!!

                Second Pfizer shot and other than feeling a bit tired the next day, nothing. The fatigue could have been from 20 hours behind the wheel.

                  The stories I have heard first hand are all over the map and I don’t see any pattern.

                  The conclusion that if you feel fine that it’s not working so well feels like utter BS

                    It's also said that older folks are less likely to have the effects.

                      I figured it might be like one of the proverbial Old Wives Tales, you know, the ones where you want a person's temp to go up as it is the body's counterattack to kill the virus by making the environment unsuitable for the virus, so don't take Tylenol. But then you die because you fry your brain.
                      Or, is there something to that as well?

                          I did not get one yet and while I know how to get one I have not been willing to do it -only for ethical reasons. If I saw a fresh syringe on the street I would self administer. All these states just let you self attest and don’t ask questions even as recently as this past Saturday.

                            The place I got it was just for my doctor's patients who had pre-registered. They asked a bunch of questions about my health. I completed a questionnaire on-line before I went. I showed my medicare card as id.

                              I will never have side effects, since I'll never get the damn shot.

                                I got my second Moderna on Friday. Stiff arm started that night, and then the entire next day I was knocked on my ass. Fever, aches all over, and I slept most of the day.

                                Mostly at full energy on Sunday, and fully recovered by today.

                                  The variability of side-effects is just amazing. I had nothing from the first dose of Pfizer (#2 tomorrow). Mrs. George had some weird tongue pain after #1, but nothing other than minor fatigue after #2.

                                  Weird.

                                    @George-K Good luck tomorrow! I know many folks who had Pfizer and most had no major effects after the 2nd dose. Maybe slightly tired the next day? As compared to the Moderna 2nd shot...I'd say about 50% of folks I know who had it had chills/fatigue about 12-36 hours after the shot.

                                      I’ve always read that a mild or low grade fever is a good thing when fighting off a virus. 100 to 101 or so, then let it go and let your immune system work. If it’s going higher than 101.5 or so then take a fever reducer. It’s also a good idea to take a fever reducer when necessary to help get rest if the fever is interfering with a deep sleep.

                                        Got mine this morning. Pfizer (yay, really did not want Moderna). Arm is a little sore, I imagine it will be worse tomorrow. Shot did not hurt at all, and I hate IM shots. I don’t really like giving them either. Much happier sticking the jugular (horses are easy). And I would way rather have a needle stuck in a vein in my arm or my hand, which actually is more painful, at least initially. Not sure why, Something about all those little muscle cells being pushed apart by some foreign liquid eeeks me out. I know it’s weird. Amazing that I made it through vet school.

                                          I got my 2nd Pfizer vaccination yesterday AM. The only thing I noticed was that, after I finished the 15 minute "observation" period, when I stood up, I got a bit light-headed. It passed after about 5 seconds and I thought nothing of it.

                                          Yesterday, I was just a bit fatigued, but nothing different from a crappy night's sleep.

                                          Today, I'm just "not myself." No energy. Not really fatigued, but firing on only about 5 cylinders (3 if turbo). I was going to assemble a bed today and make dinner, and ended up saying "Screw it. I'll to it tomorrow and we're ordering in."

                                          Weird. Nothing specific, just not completely normal.

                                          The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.
