Well damn, I'm still alive.
No side effects at all, just pain at site but only on touching, and maybe drowsiness/tiredness in the evening on the day.
I made a nice day trip out of it, as I went to a different island to get the vaccine, an island I haven't been to yet even though it is 20-25 min from my place. Walked the streets, admired the architecture and scenery, got some stuff from a traditional bakery, had lunch at a hipster-ish cafe, and walked along the seafront promenade.
Not looking forward to the 2nd dose as that's the one everybody I know who has taken it has gotten a strong whole-day fever afterwards. 8/6/2021 1:56:06 AM |

Cool, good to know!
My company gives 1-day vaccination leave for the first jab, and 2-day for the second. My second one is on the 27th, so I have taken 27th and 28th off, and 29th and 30th are my weekly off days, so I will be chilling for 4 days! If I feel good, I will go to the beach (4 beaches within walking distance of my place but been too busy with work this summer and haven't gone yet). 8/6/2021 10:57:06 AM |

Yeah I think only one person has posted that they actually got it recently. Everybody else was just rehashing their experiences and side effects from the shot. I got it back in March.
Although I have seen several states reporting big increases in demand for the vaccine lately (in response to delta)

I was pretty lucky with mine. I was just tired after the second dose, and the first dose made my arm pretty sore, but other than that I was golden.
I feel like on the average, at least based on my anecdotal evidence, those with kids/teachers/doctors seem to have had a better experience. 8/8/2021 10:28:03 AM |

I've recently seen references to a study that suggests that those with the Moderna vaccine are better protected against infection from the Delta variant than those with the Pfizer vaccine.
https://www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/2021.08.11.21261885v1
Quote : | "[Pfizer-BioNTech] effectiveness against any Delta infection, symptomatic or asymptomatic, was 64.2% (95% CI: 38.1-80.1%) [> or =] 14 days after the first dose and before the second dose, but was only 53.5% (95% CI: 43.9-61.4%) [> or =] 14 days after the second dose, in a population in which a large proportion of fully vaccinated persons received their second dose several months earlier. Corresponding effectiveness measures for [Moderna] were 79.0% (95% CI: 58.9-90.1%) and 84.8% (95% CI: 75.9-90.8%), respectively. Effectiveness against any severe, critical, or fatal COVID-19 disease due to Delta was 89.7% (95% CI: 61.0-98.1%) for [Pfizer-BioNTech] and 100.0% (95% CI: 41.2-100.0%) for [Moderna], [> or =] 14 days after the second dose. Both [Pfizer-BioNTech] and [Moderna] are highly effective in preventing Delta hospitalization and death, but less so in preventing infection, particularly for [Pfizer-BioNTech]." |
I've seen speculation that this may be due to the fact that the Pfizer vaccine was administered three months earlier than the Moderna vaccine; therefore, Moderna might reflect similar results in three months' time.
I've also seen speculation that this could be due to the fact that the Moderna vaccine is 100 mcg and the Pfizer vaccine is only 30 mcg.

95% CI lower limit for Moderna is much lower than for Pfizer. Must be a smaller sample size. You better hope the true mean doesn't end up being 41.2%.] 8/12/2021 12:20:34 PM |

so this is saying people with 1 dose of Pfizer are better protected against Delta than those with both doses of Pfizer?8/12/2021 1:56:34 PM |

The only sense that I can make of that statistic is that the sample that only received one dose recently received their first dose and that the sample that had received two doses received their second dose much longer ago, but I'm not sure if that's the case or not. 8/12/2021 3:09:44 PM |

rwoody Save TWW 36831 Posts user info edit post |
I used to not get the flu shot for reasons similar to covid deniers, "I'm not worried about getting sick" but an immuno compromised family member explained to me why that reasoning was faulty, my flu shot helps protect vulnerable people. So I've tried to get it since then.
Not trying to guilt you just giving a perspective I was missing in the past 8/16/2021 3:42:44 PM |
justinh524 Sprots Talk Mod 27085 Posts user info edit post |
Well my reasons are multiple
1) no insurance and flu shots are not free 2) i have crazy anxiety about needles 3) i am lazy 4) i have very little contact with the public, work outside and live alone.
If the healthcare system in this country wasn't fucked all to shit, i would go get a free one in all likelihood. But I'm poor and not paying for one when my risk factors for getting it are probably lower than the vast majority of Americans. I think vaccines are good. But also the flu is not a global pandemic we are trying to stop. It's an endemic disease that will continue to be around whether i get vaccinated or not.] 8/16/2021 5:27:33 PM |
