We got the new Pfizer Covid vaccine yesterday.

The only side effects I can report are that I didn’t sleep well, my arm is sore, and I feel tired. My wife does not feel tired.

3. I got both Flu and Pfizer Covid shots yesterday. Both in one arm. A little tired, but that's all.

But the price of the Covid vaccine is out of budget at $165.00. That is the lowest price I can find near me.

You'd think that would be a standard somewhere. (Kaiser paid for mine)

I get them in each arm, rather than the same.

That way, both are a tad sore, but not very much. I have had no side effects at all.

the most. I'm scheduled to get my Covid in a couple of weeks (Pfizer). The dr. suggested a 2-3wk break between my flu and covid shots since she had such a reaction -- but it turns out she had Moderna as well.

My arm was doubly sore. That was the only side effect I got.

COVID yesterday. Fortunately it was one bad day and I am already feeling much better. This time was far less horrible than the first time I had it.

every time 3 days and sore arm, but worth it to stay healthy. I just came back from a traveling vacation where I was around people sneezing and coughing and I didn't get sick. Got my shot 2 weeks before trip.
