You can take Tylenol according to my doctor.

I was in and out in 35 minutes and that included a 15 minute required observation seating after the shot.

So far no pain, and as they say: No pain, no gain.

WELL....I came in on my yacht, was then picked up by my chauffeur, who waited for me to get my shot. We then left and had dinner with Tom Brady, who is very excited about Sunday, btw

After receiving your first shot you should receive a Covid-19 Vaccination Record card. It lists the name of the vaccination you received. Should it also list the lot number on the card? Mine was filled out with the name of the vaccine but not the lot number.

You need to talk to A COVID nurse, horrible way to die spending 3-14 days drowning in your own body fluids.

Terrible long term effects for another 2%.

Had second shot on Tuesday morning. Felt fine throughout the day but that night experienced severe chills and next day felt like I had a really bad case of the flu. Was in bed most of day. Today feel fine today with no side effects for some soreness at injection site.

I have been helping administer vaccines (both Pfizer and Moderna) to healthcare workers in a Chicagoland hospital for the past 6 weeks and majority of complaints were a sore arm. I can honestly say that complaints were very similar for both groups. Some had flu like symptoms that last about a day. We advise people not to take anti-inflammatories prophylacticly as it may decrease the effectiveness of the vaccine. However, if fever, soreness, etc occurs after vaccine, it is ok to take then. And I also observed that the older population of people I vaccinated tolerated it better than the younger ones. All in all, these symptoms were far from the devastation I have seen in the past year from Covid-19! Good luck and God bless!!

Mary,

Thank you for posting your experience.

Received the first dose yesterday at the Orlando Convention Center. Behind us was a black RR Limo with the driver wearing a mask and the person in the rear also wearing a mask. In the parking lot for the 15 minute wait there sat this limo right next to an 80's era very used Dodge. COVID is an equalizer .

I had my second shot last week (Moderna). My arm was sorer and more raised at the site. There still is small swelling, but it continues to come down. My wife got her first shot (Pfizer) yesterday. She did not sleep well last night and the site is a little sore. No big deal.

Maybe a 99% survival but having covid has a sizeable list of debilitating long lasting problems.

Thank you for your educated, first person post. More importantly, thank you for your hard work at this difficult time.

Got my second shot of Moderna vaccine Tuesday. Felt fine all day. That night woke up feeling a little hot. Got up and felt cold. The next morning had a mild headache and some fatigue and muscle ache. Overall felt like a mild flu. The next night I slept much better and woke up feeling about 90% better. I had no reaction at all to the first shot. Well worth the minor inconvenience for a day.

[jklfairwin]

I fully agree. Thank you for posting and for actual, intelligent information.

I had the 2nd Pfizer vaccination with no issues. With the 1st Pfizer, I did have slight soreness at the injection site for two days. I suspect this is pretty much typical for most of us seniors. I would not hesitate to get vaccinated as soon as possible. Lake County now has a very efficient system in place at the old Sears store at the mall in Leesburg. Best Wishes to all.

We got our second shot last week and other than a sore arm absolutely no side effects with either.
