I got Pfizer#1 last week and I have an appointment for thepp second shot on the ninth. My arm was sore for two days. I'm eager to get it and put this mess behind me.

Got 1st of pfizer last week. Man it made me exhausted but that was about it. I heard if the first shot effects you it is likely you already had covid at some point so I found that interesting. I had several tests because i was exposed or felt poorly but came back negative at the time. Anyway, not looking forward to that second one but will be glad once I'm done with it.

I felt fatigued for two days. Nothing crazy, but I would have been fine in front of the tv for 48 hours.

Congrats, everyone in my family except the younger ones have all gotten the Pfizer vaccine and no one has had any serious side affects. My 95 yo mother had none at all. Just know that many times the second shot can give you a sightly more severe version of any side affect you might have with the first shot. But everyone I've talked to said that it's gone within about 24-36 hours.

Regardless it's worth it just for the peace of mind.

I think that's probably true.

I was hospitalized for 3 days over Christmas. I'm suffering from what feels like fatigue syndrome and occasional dizziness ever since. My side affect from the vaccine was extreme muscle pain. But it was controlled with a couple of doses of extra strength Tylenol which got me through the first 24 hours.

I am getting my second Pfizer tomorrow. I had Covid 19 back around Thanksgiving, and the first dose did make me extremely tired. They tell me that will be amplified after the second one, but we will see.

I received Pfizer shots a little over 2 months ago. The 1st was the worst for me......about 28 hours after the 1st shot I was extremely tired to the point that it was a fight to sit upright. Followed by body chills and a moderated headache. I went to bed and slept 17 hours straight but woke up feeling fine. The 2nd shot was 100 times easier, after I received the shot I drank about a gallon of water through out the day and only had a mild headache.

Wow. Makes one wonder if you caught CoVID would you have had a hard time with it. I doubt it works that way, but wonder.

I have no plans to get it either. Unless I need it to travel overseas. That's the only way I get. But since I have already had "The most dangerous virus in the world" last November, I'm not too worried.

I’m with you guys. Had it run through our family, it wasn’t as bad as the last cold I had.

Thankful I live in a place that was mostly unaffected. Except for the TP shortage.

Feel sorry for those who really suffered through this.

Looking forward to moving on.

Just because you had COVID 19 only means you have temporary immunity for a few months. Also, it does nothing to protect you from all the new variants beginning to circulate. That's why despite getting COVID in Dec I still opted to get the vaccines as soon as I could.
