52. From what I heard from a scientist family member, the first shot of Pflizer is quite effective

I think the reason for the second shot is that it gives you longer lasting immunity. I've also had my first shot of Pfizer. I'm on day 13 and getting the second dose on March 28. I didn't have any noticeable side effects from the first dose, but I have diabetes, RA, lupus, and psoriasis so I always feel kind of crappy.

I would contact your doc about the loss of smell and taste.... HUAJIAO Mar 2021 #1
