Vaccine reactions

[Drew0311]

Ok so last night after I worked out I totally crashed and took a great nap. Not sure if old age or the vaccine was responsible.

today I felt normal other than the normal sore shoulder where I got the shot. I had arm day today in my gym and did it fine. Went a little easier because my should hurt a little. So the first shot was no big deal at all.

Make sure to drink lots of water the day of your second shot and take some Tylenol after your shot (not before).

Again, just think of how you treat your kid when they get vaccines. The doctor always tells you that they might feel a little bad for a day or so. And you give them medicine if they get a fever and they are usually kind of crabby.

This isn't some new and unusual thing.

One of the guys that I work with had his second dose of Moderna on Monday. Tuesday night around midnight he had the teeth-chattering chills, body aches, fever, and diarrheas all night long with it ending around noon yesterday. I feel bad for the guy, but he's got a good attitude about it and said "I'd take that any day over Covid".

I thought this article generated from an Oxford study was interesting, in that, all of the current vaccines share the same risk:

Oxford and AZ are partners on one of the vaccines. I think all the vaccine producers are looking closely at the data and trying to understand it.

Don't know what the usual response to the vaccine really is. Eight of my family members (mostly in healthcare) have had both Modera shots with little side effects other than site soreness. Two others have had both shots of Pfizer with only slightly more discomfort for one of them.

We've completely lost our ability to assess risk as a society. 7 adverse reactions in 6.9 million doses is MUCH less than the impact of not vaccinating that many people. Especially if everyone that has shown reactions are women, just start giving it to men only and flip the appointments to the others for women.

I read an article on the USA today about the J&J vaccine is that the blood clot issue they are looking into can be difficult to diagnose so it is likely more people had the issue than the numbers show. I do appreciate the CDC doing their due diligence but I agree that the risk is minimal. I would still get the J&J vaccine if that is what I was offered.

I believe even dose 1 of Moderna/Pfizer has some of that protection which is why the % of vaccinated nationwide always includes fully vaccinated and 1 dose.

Pfizer and Moderna have been shown to be 80% effective 2 weeks after the first shot. Which is where I'm at today (almost to the minute, as I post this).

One dose of Pfizer or Moderna vaccines was 80% effective in preventing Covid in CDC study of health workers

A single dose of Pfizer or Moderna's Covid-19 vaccines was 80% effective in preventing infections, according to a new CDC study.

One week out from Shot 2. Hopefully I have a similar reaction as my wife did (just really tired).

Got dose 2 of moderna at 3pm yesterday, Felt fine in the evening and slept well minus a few turns onto the sore shoulder. Woke up and got ready for work and after about 20 minutes of moving around could tell I had a fever and had body aches. Took ibuprofen and went back to sleep for 2 more hours. Have felt better but still achey.

Co-worker got shot #2 of Pfizer tuesday. No chills or anything like that, but he said he was wound up like too much caffeine or being on a steroid. Couldn't sleep at all that night. Said he slept like a baby last night LOL. He did have decent arm pain both times.

I 'm signed up for Pfizer #1 on sunday.

That combined with the 37% of adults having at least one dose is the most hopeful thing right now. Since nearly 10% of the total population had covid I would think we're in the ballpark of half of Americans having some sort of protection vs 0% 14 months ago.

take off when I want as long as **** gets done.

That’s what we have too. Get your **** taken care of, find a coverage plan in case an emergency happens, then take what time you want.

I agree, I guess I'm part of the problem for changing my J&J appointment but I was able to get in 3 days sooner with new Moderna appointment and my wife's Moderna appointment was 50 miles closer than her J&J was going to be (maybe 4 hour drive total). People in LA metro have been driving to Bakersfield because you didn't have to be under 50 there the past few weeks, today is actually the day under 50 is all clear here.

My hope is that they study it for a few weeks and get it back out there. It really doesn't seem to pose that big a risk compared to the other two vaccines without even getting into the obvious comparisons you are alluding to...namely actually having covid.

I did have a couple of days where I felt like I was a bit sensitive to caffeine and that was a couple of weeks after the 2nd Pfizer shot. We only drink 1/4 caffeinated coffee so it wasn't a caffeine overload. Not sure what it was but it wasn't anything serious, just noticed it and was curious about it at the time.

Don't feel bad at all. There's no telling when local health authorities may put the kibosh on the J&J shot. Our local health department pulled the plug on it the same day the CDC announcement came out, and I know several people had J&J appointments scheduled through our neighborhood pharmacy.

Yeah I was supposed to be saturday and maybe they'd cancel on me...reminds me I need to actually cancel.

From just a 'scheduling' thing there's no guilt or feeling of hypocrisy, but in terms of actually ending J&J nationwide or worldwide it seems like that would lead to a lot of deaths and lengthen the life of the pandemic which increases variants.

The good news is that most of those places that were using J&J were able to substitute with Pfizer or Moderna within a couple days.

I just got my second Pfizer shot yesterday and that has been my exact experience. Arm has been a little sore after both shots and I feel a little fatigued today, but again I'm attributing that to minimal sleep last night.

Only if they've got the good freezers.
