There is one specific vaccine I want and I said this to my son who said you don’t get to pick and just take what you get so I am doing that and hoping for the best. With the current news that the government did not buy enough vaccines-due to stupidity-rock and the hard place as usual.
Which one did you want?
I’ll spell it wrong but the astra zeneca. It is 70 percent effective after the first shot. But the first shot is half strength which appeals to me in terms of side effects. I would rather test it at half a shot. The second shot is full strength and then it’s, I think they said, 95 person effective.
Think that might not be the case...here is the latest published peer review data info on it:
I can always be wrong and it doesn’t matter as my son said I will take what I can get. I didn’t read your article.
I was reading they don't recommend them for people with EpiPens either.
I certainly agree with your last sentence, Carol. But who are the anti-vaxxers you are talking about?
Having had the COVID-19, there is no guarantee that anyone's body will simply develop its own immunity. Which is why vaccines are made in the first place. Prevention is preferred to the cure. Trust me on this one.
If the vaccine is proven Safe I don't care if I have to get it every 6 months.
My guess its hydration and salt potassium levels/ratios affected by fever or prolonged fever. Alot of people don't know how to be sick ie drink clear fluids keep diet simple and lite before they finally see a doctor or are admitted to a hospital. Throw existing or new medications it's quite possible. Some who get hit hard by ecoli can lose a kidney in less than a week with severe dehydration issues caused by runs and vomitting. Throw pre existing conditions not good.

These side effects don’t really sound any different than the cautions I’ve gotten after a flu shot.
For some of us it's more than just a few days of being ill. Some of us could have more life threatening reactions. Given that they are already warning people with med allergies to avoid it then I will have to avoid it.
I'm sorry you have cancer but my best advice to you would be to follow your doctors directive and stay home.
Absolutely true, Marci. That's partly why it's so important for as many people without these complications to get vaccinated. I know several people who cannot get vaccines because of serious medical conditions.
It's pretty miserable when you want to be able to take it but can't. I can't help what genetics has done to me. LOL
Agree, Carol. With no underlying conditions beyond age, I expect to be offered this vaccine in a few months. Unless the data trajectory changes dramatically in the interim, I'll get the vaccine and plan a couple of down days to recuperate from any symptoms it might cause.
