Got the shot

The doctor told me that not having an unpleasant reaction is nothing to worry about.

Yeah, maybe, but a true hypochondriac gets worried when he feels fine.

Got my first shot, Moderna. Needle was in.. I was like, is that it? Yep. Oh.. my weekly shots that I do myself have larger needles

Got my 2nd shot of Pfizer vaccin last tuesday. Same as with the first shot, no side effects whatsoever - other than some soreness in the upper arm after a few hours. Yippie...

Got a single dose vaccine this week. Did a precausionary pause on my anti-inflammatory medication (and the stomach pill that comes with it) for just the day of the shot, after consulting both the orthopedic who prescribed it, and the doctor at the vaccination center.

Two side effects that don't go well together: Eager to start mingling with people again in a few weeks, but afraid I'll host a new mutation. Better a sore arm than this!

Finally got the second shot of AZ today. I feel fine right now, but if I get the sudden urge to start cheering for the Montreal Canadians, I'll report back.

I received the 2nd dose of the Astra Zennica vaccine last Friday (11 June). No side effects the following day unlike the first jab back in March when I felt like I had a very bad cold. I went to bed and slept it off. The 2nd one, nothing. I guess it was because I had anti-bodies from the first jab which meant that my immune system didn't need to fight it this time.

second pfizer shot on Saturday. Same reactions as the first one--just some minor soreness. I've heard that if one had already had the virus and recovered, then the first dose would act as the booster, but I really didn't experience much more than I would expect from any puncture.

I'm supposed to be free to go maskless indoors here in California two weeks after the second shot.

I got my first dose of Pfizer about 3 hours ago. Yay! So far just a very slight achiness at the injection site every so often when I move that arm in a certain way. Pretty much the same as any other vaccinations I've received, flu, pneumonia and rabies (a neighbor's dog bit me in January 2000 and even though the owner said he was vaccinated I decided to take no chances with rabies.) I haven't turned green or grown tentacles yet. Ph'nglui mglw'nafh Cthulhu R'lyeh wgah'nagl fhtagn!

Follow-up: arm was stiff and sore when I woke up this morning, so this is worse than flu shots etc. but just moving it around helps with the stiffness. I've felt worse, such as a few months ago when I managed to bruise a rib when carrying a heavy box. It's sore-ish but tolerable and sure beats getting sick. Other than that, no side-effects.

2nd shot (Moderna) on May 8. No symptoms from the first shot; after the 2nd shot, I didn't feel well for about a day, low-grade fever. Arm soreness, hardly worth mentioning. No way am I ready to go mask-less when I have to be around people, especially indoors, grocery shopping, etc. Still kinda trying to stay away from people; I've always tended to be a loner, anyway.
