I hope it's not too bad.
Wish me luck.
We have a lot of MAGAT anti vaxxers here in rural NW Pa.
At least I'll have some protection.
Anti-vaxxer
Someone who does not know what the definition of "research" is, has a Google phd, is anti-science or lacks the critical thinking skills to determine real science from pseudoscience, and parrots other people's ill-informed conclusions about vaccination.

There are no intelligent, well-educated people that are also anti-vaxxers

(15,810 posts)The first Pfizer gave me allll the side effects.
The second? Felt it going in, arm hurt slightly for the rest of the day and was kinda tired. This morning I had a slight fever and just took it easy. I feel great tonight.

(6,205 posts)but I did feel the injection. No pain in my arm, however. I followed suggestions here at DU and hydrated the day before and the day of the shot. Also, kept exercising the arm that received the shot.

Good luck.

(58,785 posts)My cute enameled "Thanks, Science" pin hasn't arrived yet. I chose it to signal vaccination and admiration for science fairly gently in our own dark-red area.
However, our $8.99 "Bundle of 500 pcs I Got COVID-19 Vaccinated Stickers, 6 Pcs White Covid-19 Vaccinated Bracelets, and 6 Pcs Round Covid-19 Vaccinated Pin Buttons" came very promptly from Amazon. (!) I only wanted some stickers to slap on when we go out, in case the pins took a while, but at that price...
Wish I could post some here.

(3,998 posts)were a sore arm, and a little tired for a day. Back to normal on day two. I'm 57 and out of shape if that matters. Try not to worry. It's like getting the annual flu shot.
