For those who got vaccinated, any side effects?

[George K]

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.

Much happier sticking the jugular (horses are easy)

Humans aren't all that hard either. Done hundreds and hundreds of them.

And then you drove home?

Just like Tiger.

Like I said, "It passed."

@jodi Why we’re you nervous about Moderna?

So I read George’s part and thought it said “I passed out after 5 seconds and thought nothing of it.”

@lufins-dad because that one seems to have more reactions/side effects, as I understand it. (Maybe I’m wrong?) And I really really don’t want anything worse than a sore arm and a little fatigue (I get migraines fairly easily these days). I think my arm is going to be pretty sore tomorrow - as it’s already more sore than my flu shot was.

[LuFins Dad]

@jodi Thanks! I was just curious. I’ve been hearing that the potential for side effects is about the same between both.

[jodi]

@lufins-dad You may be right. What I wonder if what the difference is (side effect-wise) between those who have had covid and get vaccinated, and those who have not had covid and get vaccinated.

[jodi]

Steve just came home - he says he is starting to feel aches all over. (He was a lot sicker than I was when he got COVID).

[jodi]

And yay, though sleeping last night was next to impossible, my arm felt the worst then, and it actually feels better this morning!

Good to hear that, Jodi. How's Steve doing?

[jodi]

@brenda he’s fine. He was sore with aches the first night, and neither one of us slept much, but then he was the same as me, just a little sore. Yay. Hopefully shot number two will be just as easy!
