What great news.

I have an appointment on Sat to get my first dose of Moderna.
I am so excited too.

I don't feel that well after the second dose. I'm taking it easy for the next couple of days.

I'm glad you are able to get it.

First dose pretty easy.
Second dose not so much.

My daughter who is a nurse practitioner and takes care of Covid patients says that this is the normal reaction. The second dose illness is good news, it means our immune system is kicking in very well. And is now ready to fight future Covid infections.

Yes just take it easy...... and thankfully your immune system is doing a good job.

Yes I am so happy to have an appointment for first shot.

Have heard the second one can be rough. Hope you have it easy.

Some people had told me that the second dose can make you feel a little sick. Fortunately, I have the next couple of days off from work.

I recommend not planning anything big the day after you get the second dose. It can be rough.
