Anyone gotten the vaccine yet?
 

I got my second Moderna dose yesterday and today has been hell.

Re: Anyone gotten the vaccine yet?
 

Got my second dose yesterday morning. Pfizer.

Have no side effects except for a sore arm. Not sure if I should be worried going into day 2.


^What symptoms/side effects are you experiencing, CSUSenior.

Re: Anyone gotten the vaccine yet?
 

Everyone I know that took moderna has had a rough go of it. Every one I know that took Pfizer had either no side effects or just a sore arm or other rather light symptoms. I think I’m holding out for Pfizer for myself.

Re: Anyone gotten the vaccine yet?
 

First dose of Pfizer yesterday. Very sore arm yesterday/today, had the chills last night (no fever). Feeling a bit off this morning, but nothing too terrible.

One of my coworkers was sick for two days after first dose of Pfizer, so you never know!

Re: Anyone gotten the vaccine yet?
 

I read you'll have stronger side effects or a higher chance at them after the first dose if you had COVID prior.

Re: Anyone gotten the vaccine yet?
 

Yea, I read that too.

Immune system response can vary greatly. Don't be worried if you have a strong response after the vaccine, and also don't be worried if you have no response.

Re: Anyone gotten the vaccine yet?
 

Took the Pfizer in December, 2nd dose in January. Felt tired and muscle soreness the day after after the 2nd dose, that was about it.
Still alive, unfortunately.

Re: Anyone gotten the vaccine yet?
 

I had a fever, headaches/general pain and major weakness (I could barely stand without taking a Tylenol). I should’ve gotten the Pfizer one.

Re: Anyone gotten the vaccine yet?
 

In December? Are you an essential worker?

Re: Anyone gotten the vaccine yet?
 

Yeah I am

Re: Anyone gotten the vaccine yet?
 

I got the first dose of Pfizer last week.
I had a sore arm and 24 hours later I felt like shit with a 100-degree fever.
I am not looking forward to the second dose.

Update: The second dose was a cake walk with no symptoms

Re: Anyone gotten the vaccine yet?
 

No. Don't trust it.

Re: Anyone gotten the vaccine yet?
 

Got my second dose of Pfizer a while back. I got lucky. The second dose hit me a little harder than the first dose but it was mostly fatigue. It's nice to be able to socialize again but more importantly I'm a caregiver for old folks so I don't want to get them sick.

Re: Anyone gotten the vaccine yet?
 

And why's that?



I have a crazy religious aunt that says the vaccines are made from aborted fetuses and donated cadavers and will have none of that in her body. She also thinks they have a microchip which will enable the government to track you.

Re: Anyone gotten the vaccine yet?
 

It sounds likely that you had covid at some point.

Re: Anyone gotten the vaccine yet?
 

We don't know the potential side effects down the line. Also not enough time was spent on vaccine trials. I would like to see what will happen to those people who took it in a year or so.

Tell your aunt that the government already track us by using our cell phone location data :)

Re: Anyone gotten the vaccine yet?
 

What are you basing any of that on? How much time was spent on the Polio vaccine? What's your background in that would allow you to second guess people who actually dedicate their lives to this?

Re: Anyone gotten the vaccine yet?
 

And also if you have been exposed a lot to COVID even though you did not get it...My friend who's a doctor been working in covid unit for the past year had to literally go to the hospital after his second shot because he couldn't break the fever...My dad was good all day after second shot, and night time had severe chills...went away magically in the morning.

Re: Anyone gotten the vaccine yet?
 

Microso... I mean Moderna 1st dose yesterday

Injection site still sore

Re: Anyone gotten the vaccine yet?
 

hate to break it, government is already tracking... no better tracking than a cellphone.

Re: Anyone gotten the vaccine yet?
 

lmao.. there's no microchip.

got second dose of moderna today. it's been over 12 hours and have a sore arm and starting to feel some fatigue.

Re: Anyone gotten the vaccine yet?
 

Brace yourself. It’s gonna be hell.

pepper for boosters:

https://www.aljazeera.com/features/2...ovid-19-strain

Nevertheless, it is a “variant of concern” (VOC) and is being closely monitored. The genome sequencing carried out by a consortium of 10 labs in India, called the Indian SARS-CoV-2 Consortium on Genomics (INSACOG), has identified two important mutations in the new variant, giving it the unfortunate title of “double mutant”.

First, the E484Q mutation, which is similar to the E484K mutation identified on the Brazilian and South African variants, can change parts of the coronavirus spike protein. The spike protein forms part of the coronavirus outer layer and is what the virus uses to make contact with human cells, bind to them, then enter and infect them.

The vaccines have been designed to create antibodies which target the spike protein of the virus specifically. The worry is that if a mutation changes the shape of the spike protein significantly then the antibodies may not be able to recognise and neutralise the virus effectively. Scientists are investigating whether this may be the case for the E484Q mutation.

The second is the L452R mutation, which has also been found in a variant thought to be responsible for outbreaks in California. Scientists believe this mutation increases the spike protein’s ability to bind to human host cells, thereby increasing its infectivity. The study also suggests this mutation may aid the virus in evading the neutralising antibodies that both the vaccine and previous infection can produce, though this is still being investigated.

Re: Anyone gotten the vaccine yet?
 

I don't know why there's too much hype with this microchip thing, if they're so afraid they could get it from Pfizer or Moderna, then take vaccines made by other countries.

Re: Anyone gotten the vaccine yet?
 

Yeah I work in manufacturing... I don’t even know how they would get “microchips” in there. 10 at that. And somehow make sure that the nurse only grabs one for each dose. It’s laughable.

Also, feeling good today. Last night I felt pretty bad, had a tough time sleeping, but feeling normal today.

Re: Anyone gotten the vaccine yet?
 

We all have different reactions to the vaccine and that's one thing I believe though, I'm glad all is well with you.

Re: Anyone gotten the vaccine yet?
 

I read about that, but if I did get covid at some point I must've been asymptomatic.

Re: Anyone gotten the vaccine yet?
 

Same. I am not getting it until the very last when I am basically forced to because of pressure from society.

Re: Anyone gotten the vaccine yet?
 

I was about to tomorrow, but I realize that I will work the next day and can't risk the fact that my arm will be sore and I might get some side effects during work day

Re: Anyone gotten the vaccine yet?
 

No sick hours?

She watches too much shit on Facebook.

Re: Anyone gotten the vaccine yet?
 

Ain't that the truth...
Worst part about it is that she doesn't keep it to herself. She has no life.

Re: Anyone gotten the vaccine yet?
 

I received the Pfizer vaccine around December. I signed up quickly because the moderna was going to be released soon too and idk why I didn’t want that one. Everything went well with Pfizer my mom got hers too later on.

Re: Anyone gotten the vaccine yet?
 

weak fake news is weak

Re: Anyone gotten the vaccine yet?
 

You also have a small chance of getting hit by a meteor right after getting the shot.
Or getting into a car accident on the way home after the shot.
Or getting hit by lightning after getting the shot.
Or choking on your lunch sometime after getting the shot.

Best not to gamble.

I am a care giver for an octogenarian with heart failure and lung issues. He's on oxygen and can barely walk to the bathroom before he's short of breath. If he catches COVID, he'd 100% be dead and he didn't have any issues with the vaccine. Even with the vaccine, he still might catch it because it's not full proof so of course I took it too to lessen the chance of him getting it. If you don't want to take it, fine, just say you're selfish but don't invent reasons.

JJ paused by FDA over clotting concerns

Re: Anyone gotten the vaccine yet?
 

Vaccines are not 100%, so it's not surprising that some fully vaccinated people will still get COVID (apparently this is called a 'vaccine breakthrough' and occurs with all vaccines). It is somewhat surprising that the man is so critically ill, but he does have diabetes (so his immune system is already compromised).
