DefenseWins Posted March 25, 2021 Share Posted March 25, 2021 (edited) Everything I have heard/read suggests that the 2nd Jab tends to provoke more side effects than the 1st Jab does... One side note about the card they give you though, I really think they could have condensed it a bit more so it is more credit card sized... Or is it meant to be folded in half?

Isn't that always the way? I wish I could testify for the nation. I know some get it mild & some don't even feel it, but mine was 3+ weeks of pure misery. I thought I'd never be happy or feel good again. Get that vaccine, people. Hate that for you—but glad you pulled through. Any lingering effects still? And is it recommended that you still also get the vaccine for future exposure (after your antibodies wear off)? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have to make it large enough to write on and for you to sign. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buftex Posted March 25, 2021 Share Posted March 25, 2021 I got the first Pfizer dose on January 22nd...second dose on February 10th. The first dose made me really tired...really, really tired. I slept about 12 hours straight the night I got it (normally I am lucky to get more than 5 hours of sleep), and I had really wild, vivid dreams. Second dose was very uneventful. No after-affects. I realize, that seems contrary to what most have experienced. 8 minutes ago, aristocrat said: Got Moderna the other day but not gonna be here in New orleans for the second shot so i'm gonna have to figure out if i can get that second shot somewhere in cali or nevada in a few weeks. anybody done something like this? I know one person who got their first dose in Buffalo, and was able to get their second in Florida (St. Pete). You probably already know this, but be sure to get Moderna for your second dose too! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where did you get the shot? @Mr Info got his first shot at a CVS (I think?) in Texas and then was able to get 2nd shot through CVS back in Virginia. I guess the national chain has advantages! Not sure how the scheduling works. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got it through lcmc hospital down here monday. so according to what i've read i have to get the shot between the 19th and around may 2 for it to be effective. but i actually just found out i might have to fly back here to new orleans on the 23rd of april for business so i might be ok. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You may even be able to use CVS for the 2nd shot even if they did not administer the 1st one. I just looked in CVS and CA is nearly booked but North LV in NV is available. https://www.cvs.com/immunizations/covid-19-vaccine note: I could not re-schedule on CVS more than 2 weeks in advance of my 2nd shot.

4_kidd_4 Posted March 25, 2021 Share Posted March 25, 2021 Felt a little hot/cold last night after first moderna dose but nothing too extreme. I did briefly get the chills when I went to bed. I guess I never truly experienced that before, without actually being cold. Second shot scheduled for April. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And is it recommended that you still also get the vaccine for future exposure (after your antibodies wear off)? Thanks - I feel pretty lucky. I actually felt amazing after it ended. It's kind of strange, but I've had more energy than I've felt in years. One kind of bogus development - I've had tinnitus in one ear, which I guess has happened w/ some people. It's probably temporary, but I'm already used to it. If that's the worst thing, I'll take it. I've heard stories about some of the "long haulers" and I'm glad that nothing else seems to be lingering. From everything I've read (and my doc), I should definitely still get the vaccine, after a few months go by. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It can be horrible! 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Patrick Duffy Posted March 26, 2021 Share Posted March 26, 2021 Update for my Pfizer.... feel fine today. Body aches and tired/weak feeling only lasted one day for me. Wasn't bad though.
