Anybody scheduled for vaccination yet?

[Rosemarie]

My second jab is scheduled for Saturday. Last time, I was straight in and straight out...no queue and no waiting. Hope it's the same this time.
Does anyone else find their nose runs when they are wearing a mask. I presume it's caused by condensation?

Thankfully my husband and I had both our shots. We had the Pfizer vaccine and we didn't have any reaction except for a sore arm. The line to get the shot was short and the staff was very nice, and after the shots, they watched you for 15 minutes.

Exactly my experience.

If i felt our community was doing what they should do....I would be willing to help .....but last year I feel no one has stuck to the restrictions ....so ...I m not putting myself out or my Hubbys health for a load of people who don’t give a toss..... sorry......I ll keep me and hubby safe , which I have done for the past 9 yrs......

Of course you should do what you feel is best for yourself and your husband. Even if nobody around me was following restrictions, we would still get vaccinated. That way if some infected people give us the virus, we'll be protected from a serious illness that mandated a hospital stay or death. To me it's worth it.

Yes, like a faucet. I feel like a five year old with a cold

We finally have an appointment through the hospital, to get our shots at our local College location .. for April 1st - either Pfizer or Moderna, I believe. Second shot in 12 weeks!

I don’t know if I shared this or not...so forgive me if I did.

We had our second Moderna vaccination a couple of weeks ago and I had an odd reaction.

i started violently sneezing and nose started flowing about a half hour after we got home. For some reason it never entered my mind to associate this with the vaccine. Just thought I was getting a cold, which irritated the heck out of me.

I put up with this for two days...absolutely miserable...before I rummaged thru the medicine box for something that would help.

pulled out a box of Benadryl. Big letters said “For Runny Nose and Sneezing!” Popped one of those babies in my mouth and within half an hour the sneezing and runny nose just stopped. Never to return again

must have been some kind of histamine reaction, so word to the wise....if this happens to you...
TAKE A BENADRYL IMMEDIATELY and save yourself days of misery!

 

[Ruthanne]

Yes, my first dose was today at Discount Drug Mart. It's been over an hour with no side effects. The whole episode of filling out papers, waiting, shot and 15 min. wait was over with in about 55 min. Parking was fine, too.

Are you sure it is 12 weeks? Moderna is usually 4 weeks and Pfizer 3 weeks after the first shot.

My wife and I have both received our 1st and 2nd shots of Moderna. Neither of us experienced anything other than a very minor pain in the upper arm...which only lasted about 24 to 36 hours. Our local county health clinic was run very efficiently, by appointment, and everyone was in and out in about 20 to 30 minutes....most of which was the 15 minute "wait" after the shot. We are Now ready to begin a return to normal.

My daughter got her second shot two days ago. She called me the day of the shot and told me she felt fine. The next day she woke up and was feeling bad. She was running a fever and had a head ache and was feeling bad all over. Hope she fills better to day. She always calls me in the evening

 

[Pappy]

Wife and I have had our 2 Modena shots. Second one was a little like a hangover to me. Wife felt lousy too.

 

[Gemma]

Husband and I went and received our 2nd Moderna vaccination this afternoon. So far, so good.

Wife might not like being called "wide"....lol.

Guess I need spell check. Wife.

Had our first shots of Moderna vaccine yesterday and they kept us for fifteen minutes afterwards. Both have very sore arms and my girlfriend was laid out today with symptoms similar to bad migraine but she's OK now, just tired. She reacted the same way when we got our shingles vaccinations. Our second Covid jab is on April 22nd

 

[Ladybj]

I feel the same way you do except for getting the flu shot every year. I had a very bad case of the flu in the late 90s and never want that again.

You got the flu shot every year and still got the flu?

 

[Ladybj]

I had my second shot Monday. I have felt good. No reactions. Arm a little sore but not bad.

Please keep us posted 6 months to a year from now. I pray you continue to feel good.

 

[Kaila]

You got the flu shot every year and still got the flu?

I think that meant they'd had the flu one year and suffered with it,
so after that, began getting the flu vaccine every year.

 

[Jeweltea]

Yes that is what I meant. Up until the year I got the flu so bad, I never had a flu shot. I have never had the flu since I started getting the flu shot every year.

Does anyone else find their nose runs when they are wearing a mask.

Same for me. My doctor laughed and said another doctor in the clinic has the same thing.

Are you sure it is 12 weeks? Moderna is usually 4 weeks and Pfizer 3 weeks after the first shot

We have a shortage of vaccine in Canada. They’ve decided it’s better that more people have some protection and that the second shot can wait 4 months.

I got my 2nd Pfizer shot on Mon,3/29.I drank alot of water before and after.My shoulder was a bit sore,I iced it afterwards,before I went to bed
Its been 2 days have had no side effects like some people have experienced.I'll continue to wear my mask,its part of my daily routine now

 

[mrstime]

We had our first Phizer shot a few days ago. Absolutely no reaction for either of us. They said they will call us in about 4 months or sooner for the 2nd dose.

 

[Jeweltea]

Just got our 2nd Moderna shot this morning. Probably too soon to have side effects.

Four months? Looks like things are falling apart in some areas...

I’m not so sure. We’re scheduled for our second shot in just over two weeks which will be four weeks after the first. But friends who have had their first shot after us are also waitng twelve weeks now. In some countries it looks to be the norm because of slower delivery of vaccine so they want as many people as possible to get their first shots. That seems to be the case here in Sweden.
