24. My parents - in their late 80s

Had almost no reaction to their Pfizer shots. My father reacted more to his than my mother, as is typical. She felt nothing from the first; he has a slight sore arm. She has a sore arm from the second one (she could find the site of the location), my father's arm was more sore - he could not sleep on it that night.

From comparisons I've seen, Pfizer comes with a slightly higher risk of anaphalaxis, but a lower risk of run-of-the-mill side effects.

I get my first Pfizer tomorrow . .

Cousin told me her effects started about 5 hrs Tree Lady Mar 2021 #1
