Second one April 7th.

I miss my family deeply too. Haven't seen my daughters since December of 2019. One is scheduled to get her vaccine soon (she's an educator). Not sure about the other daughter.

Let us know how you are feeling over the next few days Granny. Hope you fare well.

It is an amazing relief to have completed the series...At least it was for me....

Not every immune response is symptomatic. COVID-19 is the first immunization I've ever had for which I had a symptomatic response.

Nothing from the second Moderna.
Said he felt a little tired but no different from

No headache no arm soreness.
He had a worse reaction from the first one.

I don't care if there is a bit of discomfort for a couple of days. The protection that the shots should provide is well worth it.
