Hoping we have few issues , but not sore at all. Very organized and fast at the vaccine site, and took 35-40 minutes total.

(11,885 posts)With major health issues , and living in Texas where Abbott is doing everything he can to do like trump making it worse , I have very little chance of surviving if I were to get it, and have to wait until a lot more have been vaccinated before venturing out much. Biden is getting people vaccinated now in huge numbers, and expected to raise daily rates a lot higher.

but about a week of flu like symptoms after shot #2.

(26,260 posts)He had a horrible reaction to the first because he had Covid, early last year. He said it was like a 36 hour flashback. Hopefully this 2nd jab will be much easier for him.
I'm still 2 weeks out from my 2nd Pfizer jab. The first was completely non-eventful.

(8,703 posts)Some studies said two shots are overkill for these people. Second shot did not add any more antibodies - just caused more severe reactions.
Siwsan
(26,260 posts)He got sick really early in the pandemic - when they were telling people to stay home, if they can. He never went for an antibody test because he knew, from all of the symptoms, that it was definitely Covid. He said he's never been so ill, in his life. Since he was never 'officially' diagnosed, I doubt he'd be given the option, by the school system, of not taking the 2nd jab. I think (but could be wrong) that it really isn't an optional thing for the bus drivers. At least not the non-union ones.

That one was NOT fun.
