I just got the COVID-19 shot today and I feel fine I think people should get it!
I got the moderna I feel fine 12 hours later I have no side effects like people are talking about!
I am getting my first vaccination shot (Pfizer variant) this week. Some of my roommates who already had covid months ago, just got the vaccine, and everyone who got caught a bad case of covid seemed to react poorly to the vaccine. Those who were infected but had mild symptoms didn't feel anything for the most part. Now its my turn!
I got in on the Pfeizer vaccine at the end of January. Barely had a sore arm on the first shot, and a light and fleeting case of chill on the evening of the second. I took ibuprofen immediately after the second shot, and right before bed, as I was advised that would alleviate many of the expected side effects.
Unless you've been advised by your doctor not to get immunized, there is absolutely no reason to skip any of the recommended vaccinations. The science is unequivocal. The public benefits are clearly established.
Where did that advice come from? I was explicitly advised not to take otc pain meds to prevent side affects when I got my first dose. They did say it was ok to take them if I experienced side affects though. I thought it seemed odd.
I heard a person should take Tylenol at worst, to avoid ibuprofen also.
I had one Pfizer shot and though I had COVID, I had no reaction. Sister had Moderna & had fever one day, exhaustion a few days.... It's individual.
They make you wait 15 minutes to be safe, but it's better if you can drive with someone just in case...
I'ma just be that person.
I have received both dosages and had the full list of side effects for each one. Everybody is different, and our reactions (or none) may be different based upon various circumstances.
Glad it is over. Hope that it works.
And I just hope everybody is healthy and safe because COVID SUCKS!
Maybe it was just the ibuprofen that they recommended against and I just remembered incorrectly. Thanks!
I became eligible to get vaccinated today. Hoping to book an appointment this weekend.
Only one person I knew experienced side effects, which was mild swelling from their first shot. He was okay though.
