I get my second Pfizer shot today

and I can't believe how excited I am. And relieved. And nervous.

Headed to the gym and to the store to get some Dayquil and non migraine headache medicine.

I even meal prepped so in case it's rough, I won't have to worry about that.

Congrats!

I had my 2nd Pfizer a few weeks ago - barely a tender spot on arm but, of course, we are all different.

Please update us!

for 'just in case'. While I am happy that I did, I am even happier to report the only side effects where the dull headache and the sleepiness the next day. My arm was not even sore.

Hubby and I got ours on Sunday & worked in the garden all day afterwards.
Arms were sore that night but, nothing else. Good luck!

Not even a sore arm.

I was hit much much harder be the shingles vax.
