I have never been so ready to get a shot in my entire life. (a shot in the arm that is)
We have had our first one. (Moderna) We each had sore arms for a day, but that was it. I went with an epi-pen in my purse. Mr. Boomer has been known to have allergic reactions to certain antibiotics and once to bees, years ago. I knew they would have epi at the site, and we do not normally carry epi, and antibiotics and bee reactions have not been reported as potential issues, but I wanted to be ready anyway so I had him get one for the occasion. It was not needed. (I didn’t really think it would be, but I was in just-in-case mode.) When you fill out the form and report a history of allergic reactions, they have you wait half an hour instead of 15 minutes. He was fine — absolutely fine. Does having just one shot so far mean that Bill Gates can track me only half the time? Last edited by Boomer; 02-13-2021 at 09:41 AM. |

In response to the OP’s Post #4 as I defend my Post #2:
Well, OP, even though we got the shot, I think my earlier post was helpful because there are those who might also have concerns about allergic reactions. Therefore, my post was intended to give them info that might help them with their decision. Going in with an epi in my purse (although, not needed, thank goodness) was a plan that others might want to use. My post was legit, solid, primary source information that shared how I addressed concerns over allergic reactions and how the shot caused absolutely no problems. You must be having your own specific concerns about getting the vaccine. Why not share them? I remain, Helpful, One-Shot-Down, One-To-Go Boomer Last edited by Boomer; 02-13-2021 at 10:24 AM. |

These are experimental vaccines, not fully vetted!

The woman across the street is 88, and she has not gotten hers yet. She is concerned because she’s been ill, and had heard of some of the side effects.

Why do you say that? Are you saying that the certifying officials signed off on these because the gov ordered them? You do know that this procedure has been in the testing stages for several years, right? The only difference is that it was targeted to this particular virus. Before this, it was targeted to SARs-2, I think. At any rate, if you read any of the papers on it, you will see that since there is absolutely NO virus material involved in it's creation, there is little to fear. If by "fully vetted" you mean they have not been in trial for COVID for a dozen years, you are correct. Of course there will be plenty that will not get the shot. Hey, if not for concerns for my spouse, I wouldn't. I do not fear catching the virus, other than the idea of my spouse catching it due to my disregard. I haven't had the flu and I do not get the flu shot, but my spouse does get the flu shot. I got my COVID inoculation, but I may not get it next year, if they suggest it.
It all depends on how safe you feel you are when out and about. Like a famous person once sagely said "are you feeling lucky, punk?" If you are concerned about what it might do to a frail person, then I would suggest seeking advice from a professional, not a social forum. It may very well be that one will have to weigh the options. Take a slim chance of a negative reaction from the shot, or take a chance at a DEADLY reaction from catching the demon virus.

I'm not getting it. Various reasons: I'm still considerably young at 56, I've had averse reaction to flu shot, I'm not sure it will be effective for long or for variants.
