Anyone get the covid vaccine?

Post by rock flag and eagle »

I just got my first dose on Saturday morning, the pfizer one. No major side effects, sore at the shot site for the first day and I've been feeling tired and dehydrated since.
I heard most people feel like crap after the second dose, I'll get my second dose at the end of the month.
Anyone else able to get theirs?

My mom and my aunt are both fully vaccinated, both experienced about 12 hours of flu-like symptoms on the second dose, and both are doing great about a month after taking it.

Most are experiencing the second does woes. Heard a rumor this weekend that people who experience symptoms on the first dose have already been exposed to covid 19, and the response is due to the body already having antibodies available. Makes sense, but not sure if its 100% accurate.

I'm a relatively young, relatively fit individual, but will probably get dosed when my age group is up.

Dr Fauci says they are all safe and with so many millions of peeps around the world already testing it out I think by the time we get there should be nothing to worry about .

I had no trouble with side effects but my wife got knocked on her ass the day after her second shot.

Not yet but will certainly sign up as soon as I'm eligible. I know a ton of people who have gotten it already, most of being my immediate family including my 92 year old grandma and all handled it well. All think they all got the Pfizer. My mom was the only one that got hit hard with the second dose but only lasted a day. All are doing great.

CDC just announced that fully vaccinated folks can mingle indoors maskless.....the light at the end of the tunnel slowly gets brighter...

Most people I know that have had both doses, a good majority said the second one kicked their ass. I am looking forward to that :lol:

Because we're at the point in the timeline of political tribalism that everyone where Pepi is from thinks vaccines are a Bill Gates plot to control your body. Source - my rural Indiana friends and family on my social media feeds.


My wife got hers, both shots gave her sides but nothing that lasted longer than a day.
I've been trying my ass off to get mine but Texas isn't making it easy.

Got my second shot on January 28th and life has never been better.

While slipping the fish to the ol' hack Sunday morning, she commented on my extra tight pecs and more chiseled than usual midsection.

After a lower body shower, I topped off the tank of my vintage Dodge Challenger with freedom juice and did a six-mile burnout to Walmart.

Those patriot rations aren't going to replenish themselves.

My mom got the J&J one today. My wife and I get ours Thursday. My wife works for a city local to us and they’re doing a clinic for the elder residents. I’m doing volunteer work helping out with cleanup and such and am getting mine as part of it. Since my wife works there, she gets it too. Just heard today it’s gonna be J&J. While I would have preferred Pfizer or Moderna, I ain’t gonna complain too much. I’m slightly bummed about not getting the Moderna or Pfizer mainly because I remember studying mRNA and the concept of mRNA vaccines in genetics back around 2006 or so. 15 years later and here we are. But I’ve been reading up on the J&J one and seems solid. Especially since it’s effective against preventing hospitalizations with some of the variants that have popped up. So, I’ll take it.
