Got the Pfizer shot today.

Hopefully as effective and safe as advertised. Will get #2 in 21 days ish.

What's your status?

If vaccinated, what did you get?

Effects, if any, from #1 vs 2?

2nd Pfizer Vac Friday.
No issues with first, 2nd Vac- felt like hammered shit all day Saturday and this AM.

My wife and I have had both doses of Pfizer. No issues after the first shot, but had most listed side effects after the second for about a day. We were both kind of happy to have a noticeable reaction after the second dose, as it showed our immune systems were doing their job well. It's been a month since the second dose, and we're just not worrying about Corona anymore, back to doing whatever we want.

My Dad (80+) and Mom (70+) and FIL (80+) have all had both shots. FIL had a cough, Mom had mild flu-like symptoms, both on the 2nd shot. FIL had been hosptialized with Covid

I'm scheduled for the beginning of April for #1. Could do walk-in at the VA, but why?

Not required for work, even for our employees that travel.

I've had both shots of the Moderna vaccine. Not "required" for work, but we do food and pharmaceutical packaging, so it is encouraged.

I travel for work and spent 221 nights in hotels in 2020 so I took the vaccine as a precaution due to how much time I spend in airports, restaurants, and our manufacturing sites across the US. We have plants in the east coast and west coast, so the vaccine will alleviate some of the travel pains in/out of NY, Jersey, and Commiefornia.

First shot was a breeze, arm was hot like a local fever and slightly sore the next day.

Second shot sucked. Got it on a Friday morning, and body aches started by that afternoon. Slept most of Saturday and missed church on Sunday due to fatigue. My lower back, shoulders, hips, and femurs hurt well into the following Tuesday/Wednesday. Horrible bone aches...

I've lost quite a few family members with no co-morbities, healthy, fit, etc.

It's real. And has hit our family pretty bad.

Wow, sorry to hear it man. I know a number of people who lost people. It's not the flu...

Like the man said, stick to the exact topic, questions and do not stray. I've cleaned up the mess. Keep it that way. No exceptions.
