Got vaccinated today. Anyone??

robtcorl · 03-23-2021, 03:06 PM

Today was one week after our 2nd Pfizer injections, no issues to report.
I'm 74 and have cancer, so covid is of great concern to me and my wife. My 50 year old daughter doesn't plan to get vaccinated, so I tell her no hugs from dad in the foreseeable future.

Apologies for possibly hurtful comment coming up here - not my intention. Unless she has a real medical contra-indication to this vaccination, your daughter is doing you, her mother, herself, and all of us NO FAVORS. Unless there is good medical reason, her behavior is unconscionable. Sorry ! - I know you know that !

No vertigo though, thankfully.

Yes this one of normal reaction
We observe in my hospital. Some people has same response
Lite head gone in 15 min
Headache may be longer
In some case we observe more prolong reaction
After second vaccine
We was vaccinated with Pfyzer
90 % case we observe arm pain
1-2 % some said fever no more as 12 hr
Nothing more big problem
All hospital staff was under observation after injection 30 min period
Monitoring vital sign

As, ISTR, getting some sort of relatively mild reaction to a jab is actually a good sign (or, at least, I do hope so because we both did).

we get documentation from the source providing our vaccinations when we get the shots

the documentation, which you are told to keep as proof of vaccination for travel, identify -

what you received, date and time given, expiration date of vaccine, injection site, route [ intramuscular ], manufacturer and lot number

and since it is our health care provider that gave us the vaccine, it is in our records as well

That's very good - for YOU.

What I was highligthing is/might be something like you are on a flight to "somewhere abroad" with many other people, of whom some might be travelling with falsified covid vaccination documentation - would you want to be in that situation?

can you control everything around you

all of the time

life can be risky

especially if you look at the risk of accident at home

BTW

I am more scared of the people in the air port than in the plane

and I don't plan on flying in the near future

Received my 2nd dose of Pfizer this morning. So far no side effects. I have presumably gotten my immune response boosted. So far, no sign of any superpowers appearing, nor can I stream the Bill Gates channel via 5G (yet). Fingers crossed!

When did she have the first one? My partner had her first one Feb 9 and now six weeks later she is having the second one. We were surprised.

Phase 1b of the Australian rollout is finally under way. Even as an anaesthesiologist I didn't qualify for phase 1a.

I'm booked in for my first dose on Thursday next week. Pfizer.

10th January.

Isn't the second Pfizer shot supposed to to given three weeks after the first one? That's certainly the aim with Australia's program.

It's different with the AstraZeneca vaccine....

as far as I know yes, ideally, per our CDC

if delayed after the time period, you are suppose to get it asap

here when you received the first shot, you are scheduled for the second one, date and time, and you get first chance for vaccine available at that time

In the UK it was decided to give all jabs around 12 weeks apart to maximise the number of people with at least one shot. Hence the surprise to be offered the second one after 6 weeks
