FINALLY got shot yesterday, Pfizer vaccine. Didn't feel a thing. And no discernible side effects; I know this because they told me to avoid tylenol and ibuprofen for the next two days, the reason being that those particular meds would mask any effects that I should be aware of. Okay, but someone needs to explain that to my joints. Ow.

1. My best friend is a care worker and had shooting pains down his

left arm when he was lifting his patient....he thought he was getting a heart attack, until his colleague reminded him that was the arm he got his second shot in !

2. I'm confused. I was told to avoid Tylenol for 2 days before my shot,

on Monday, but could begin taking it again afterword. I need this medication since I can't take NSAIDS.

Any advice would be welcome.

3. I too got my 1st Covid-19 vaccine, yesterday.

Pfizer was given to participants, also. The clinic was well run and things went smoothly, from registration, and next appointment printed on a card, that is the Covid-19 Vaccine Record. The Registered Nurse who administered my injection, was very good at it. I barely felt it. Afterwards had to stay in a large, well socially distanced waiting area, for 15 minutes. I received a packet of info specific to the Pfizer vaccine, what the common side effects, are. and what symptoms are emergency level, along with information on other prudent concerns.
Today, the injection site is sore, my muscles and joints are achy, and I just want to take it easy. So that's what I'm doing.

Thanks for posting about achy joints, madamesilverspurs. I thought the soreness, was due to the weather, and I took a couple of Aleve, oopsy.
