12. Thanks

3. I got Pfizer too. I got my second dose this morning.

[Bev54]

6. Any problems? I get my first Pfizer tomorrow

[onecaliberal]

10. The first dose my arm was sore. About a day or so later I was tired and had a slight headache.

The second dose I received 5 hours ago and so far I am good. Not even the sore arm this time around. It could hit later, but right now all is good. Either way it's a million miles better than the alternative.

[healthnut7]

13. So far so good.

[Hortensis]

16. The first Pfizer barely sore, nothing else. We got the second

yesterday afternoon, and nothing for me, pressed the spot to reassure myself I got poked. ("Oh, good. It hurt." )

But my husband, who felt fine yesterday, woke with fatigue and a headache that are still with him. Both are so unusual for him that we're sure they're from the shot.

24. More side effects from #2 than #1, but still mild.

Sore arm both times. This time I have a hard itchy welt about 1.5" across. Nothing much to write home about.

4. Got my 2nd Pfizer, last Thursday

A week from today my antibodies should be rocking and rolling. Of course, I'll be changing NOTHING in my daily safeguards.

[Hortensis]

17. :) Same here. The work to stop the spread goes on.

5. Got my first Pfizer dose this morning. What a relief it is.

I can finally see the light at the end of this horrible tunnel.

[healthnut7]

14. I agree, it does make you feel safer but it'll be even safer after 2 weeks.

[Neema]

20. Two weeks after my second dose is when I'll finally feel like

life can start again. I know there's still a small chance I can get it after that, but it won't kill or debilitate me. I'll still wear a mask while flying, or in crowded spaces, or any other situation where the risk seems higher. I'll probably do that for the foreseeable future.

7. So did I. No side effects yet.

[catbyte]

8. YAY! I've had both and nothing but mild brain fog and tiredness for a few days.

[rickford66]

9. Two Pfizers, no problems.

[Hortensis]

11. Feels kinda like the freedom we're normally too used to to notice, doesn't it?

Congrats, Healthnut7.

[healthnut7]

15. Thanks! One hurdle over that's for sure. They said not safe yet till 2 weeks have passed.

Where I live they are now giving out one dose to everyone who qualifies so as to get as many vaccinated as possible. So for my second dose I have to wait till mid July, I don't mind. The older people got 2 but because of the variants, the numbers are rising and they are nervous so they changed things.

18. Are you in Europe?

19. Those variants are scary. Sounds like the epidemiologists are doing

what they should. We're in FL, not quite humming as it should, but with the state and county health departments up and running DiSantis's corrupt negligence is... Well, I don't know but in the background anyway.

27. I know the idea of rationing just the one dose was being bandied about for a while

But thankfully it seems the original plan of reserving the second doses and injecting three weeks later has won out. That is what is supported by the clinical data and anything else is an uncontrolled experiment (even if it has merit).

They changed things?? I've not heard of the rationing plan actually being implemented, where are you and what are the circumstances behind that?

[LisaL]

28. The companies who made the vaccine did the studies and one dose doesn't produce a lot of antibodies.

After the second dose, antibody level increases dramatically. Which is why they did clinical trials with two doses as opposed to one.

[bif]

21. Excellent! Got my second Moderna yesterday.

So far, no reaction.

[Shermann]

22. First Pfizer shot early this morning

No symptoms at all as of 5:00 pm, I did some yardwork today

[Leith]

23. Me, too

My arm is aching just a little today, but it is easy to ignore. The arthritis in my left knee is much worse.

Funny, though - my right arm is aching exactly the same way. I put it down to sympathy pains.

[Hortensis]

26. Congrats to all. It's happening. Every vaccination makes everyone safer.

And they're all indictments of the tragic Trump-McConnell period.

FL's about to lower eligibility to 40 years+.
