I just got the Pfizer vaccine

[DemocratSinceBirth]

The same one Joe Biden got. I have to wait fifteen minutes to leave the CVS where I received it.

2. How long ago were you vaccinated

8. Isn't that right?

My husband had a little light headedness and my shot site was a little sore and that was it. We too had extreme joy. We are almost 8 weeks out from our second, still masking and distancing and I am still playing our last concert with distance and masks on. Boy does it feel good to not worry even though you still do the protocols. Joyful is correct!

3. I go on the 22nd for the 2nd Pfizer shot.

With all I have going on health-wise, to say I'm a bit concerned would be an understatement.

18. My husband and I had our 2nd Pfizer shots last Thursday

I took a tip from a friend who'd already had the 2nd shot and did end up sick the next day. She said the corpsman who injected her advised on lots of water after the shot. Hydrate, hydrate, hydrate. My friend blew the suggestion off and was pretty useless the next day--bad headache, body aches and chills.

My husband and I followed the advice. We drink water throughout the day, so we just beefed it up. We had no side effects. Not sure if that was merely coincidental but in our case it worked.

Good luck!

Btw, my husband did have side effects after his first shot, so he too was a little nervous. He's diabetic and was afraid his sugar would be whacked out again. But as I said, both of us were fine.

Waiting for the sense of elation that most have been sharing after theirs.

14. That's really common with the 2nd Moderna shot too.

12. 15 minutes is standard for Pfizer.

If you're extra special (prior anaphylactic reaction), you have to wait 30 minutes.

13. I just got the Pfizer vaccine this afternoon also.

[Ms. Toad]

15. I had a local reaction to the 2nd -

and somethng systemic that I'm not sure is connected.

I had migraines from age four through age 31, a brief respite while I was pregnant and nursing, and then from age 33-ish through age 54. Then they vanished when I hit menopause. (So both breaks apparently hormone-related).

About 2 weeks after the first vaccine I had a massive migraine (my first in a decade). After the second, I haven't gone more than 1 day without a migraine. I think they are finally winding down (2 wks after the second shot), but they aren't completely gone yet.)

Since I haven't had any in a decade, the timing is very suspicious. BUT - it is very odd timing for th 1st one to come 2 weeks after the first shot (a bit long for a reaction).

16. Awesome way to go!

17. My Wife Got Pfizer

Her 2nd shot was a week ago.
I got Moderna, 2nd shot 5 days ago.
She had zero symptoms from the 1st shot, and upset GI for about 90 minutes with the 2nd.

19. Got mine yesterday at a CVS. Only asked to wait 10 minutes.

No stiff arm, no side effects at all that I can tell. I go back for the second on May1.
