I got my second shot on Tuesday and have had no reactions with either shot.

Everyone still needs to wear a mask - double masks if possible - and wash hands for 20 seconds often - and keep your distance - even if you did have Covid 19 or if you have had both vaccinations.

There is so much that is still unknown about this virus and all the other strains it may spread.

So do your part until it is under control. Common sense and patience
are the most useful now.

Ann-Ohio Glad you got it with no reactions!!! [woohoo]

Great news and good info! My 89 y.o. Mom had her second Pfizer shot today and so far no reactions. She had no reactions with the first Pfizer shot either.

I'm going to try and get mine at my allergist's office. I have a mast cell disorder with anaphylaxis so have to follow a protocol. Even then I'm not sure if I can tolerate it but am going to give it a shot. LOL! Pun intended!

Just wanted to add that my Mom had no side effects whatsoever. Hope I do as well.

Thanks for the woohoo, Hiker! Lots of luck, Wolfie! Let us know how it goes.

I am still feeling good and taking care while my body builds antibodies.

Still cold and snowy here with lots of deer hanging out in my little woods. Sure wish I could get out for a nice walk!

Hi Gang
I refuse to take the RDNA one. I want the Johnson and Johnson one or i will not take it!!!

The bad reaction comes years later.

NO Bill gates inspired shots.
GRRRRR!!

How are you doing Ann-Ohio? Any return or uptick in TBI symptoms?

I am immunocompromised so i can get it very soon but am concerned it will take me out of remission. I also have MCAS...

I hope you are great!

Unsure .. [Frown]

Stay safe.

Still. doing fine! Thanks for asking!

Feeling kind of tired of all the negative talk about vaccines. I am very happy that my family escaped some terrible illnesses because we received some amazing vaccines. Measles and Polio for two of the worst.

It is an individual choice. But when you choose to get vaccinated you are not only protecting yourself, you are helping to protect all those around you. Same with wearing a mask - it is an act of kindness and a way to help prevent more deaths.

You can find conspiracy theories about just about everything, but it should come down to believing your physician, not what you read from total strangers on the internet.

Still your choice, however....

I had my first incremental Moderna vaccine for Covid yesterday! My arm was pretty sore because since I have a mast cell disorder I was given 3 shots from 10%, 30% and then 60%. I didn't have any reactions outside of the sore arm and worked outside today.

My last shot is on April 19th and will have just the one regular remaining shot since I didn't have any adverse reactions to the vaccine.

I was going to wait until the second shot, but just want to say I never even had soreness in my arm.

I'll get the second Moderna shot in about 3 weeks.

I had my 2nd Moderna shot last Wednesday, 5 days ago. I felt fine afterward that day.

I have days when I am fatigued, without an obvious reason. I’ve been having fatigue the last few days, but not worse than usual.

I don’t know if the vaccine has caused fatigue or not, but it isn’t a concern since it’s no different from many days I have experienced over the years.

Had my second Moderna on the 19th. Was fine until the next day. I was swollen and sore at the injection site and had a killer headache.

I took Ibuprofen and finally something stronger to help with the headache pain and by the next day I was basically back to normal.

Worked in the yard for two days about 4-5 hours each day this week.

Good for you, Alaska! Having a majority of people vaccinated is the only way to keep the virus from spreading more and constantly. The whole world is reeling from this latest flare-up.

Of course, there will be people who can't or won't get vaccinated, but it is very unhelpful to try to convince other people to avoid vaccination. People are really injuring themselves when they do that.

And the virus will spread any way it can, so we all need to stay extra cautious - wear masks, keep a distance, wash your hands. All very simple, good habits to maintain - vaccinated or not!

I can't wait to be maskless with my family that are in different households! I'm still going to be careful and just do some outdoor get togethers.

Posted by hiker53 (Member # 6046) on :

I had both shots of the Pfizer vaccine.

Admittedly I was concerned because I had a bad reaction from a flu vaccine 18 years ago and haven’t had a vaccine since.

After the second dose I had a sore arm and a pretty bad headache but it was gone in 24 hours.

I encourage anyone that is hesitating to go ahead and get the covid vaccine. Protect yourself, your family, friends and community. [Smile]

I agree Hiker. I'm pleased that I was able to tolerate the vaccine with my anaphylaxis issues.
