CHARLOTTE, N.C. — As people prepare to get vaccinated, the North Carolina Department of Health and Human Services (NCDHHS), the Mecklenburg County Health Department and the Rowan County Health Department have released information on the possible side effects of the Pfizer and Moderna vaccines.

Here is what NCDHHS has to say about the differences between the Pfizer and Moderna vaccines:
Content Continues Below The Pfizer and Moderna vaccines work the same way to prevent people from getting COVID-19. In addition, both vaccines require two doses and both are very effective in preventing someone from getting COVID-19. The clinical trial showed no serious safety concerns.
The vaccines are stored differently. The Moderna vaccine does not need to be stored as cold as the Pfizer vaccine, so more providers will be able to easily use it. While both vaccines require two doses, the time between doses is different. The Moderna vaccine doses are given 4 weeks apart. The Pfizer vaccine doses are given 3 weeks apart. Who can get the vaccine is also different. The Moderna vaccine is authorized for adults aged 18 and older. The Pfizer vaccine is authorized for people aged 16 and older.
The temporary reactions are similar for both vaccines. Temporary reactions may include a sore arm, headache and feeling tired and achy for a day or two after receiving the vaccine. More people who were in the Moderna clinical trial experienced these temporary reactions. The reactions are more common after the second dose than the first dose. Younger people are more likely to have reactions than older people. Neither vaccine can give you COVID-19.

I had the first dose already, and had five days of chills and lightheadedness from it. I will receive the second dose in a couple weeks. My doctor said the second dose is worse...
Great. You should be fine. Let us know how it goes.
How is your general health status and what age bracket are you in?
these are not all vaccines.
some are DNA operating systems.
... AND you and your family cannot sue when
you are paralyzed, made sterile, and develop
diseases that no physicians has ever seen.
If you live in Florida, you can log on Publix’s website on Friday at 7am for the next round. They do 2 per week. I got in only to find the only available slots were in the panhandle and I live in Central Florida.
I’m going to wait at least a year before I even consider taking it.

Good for you. We’re on the waiting list for our area. Glad you posted this information which needs to be publicized to offset the continual propaganda from the anti-vaxxers.
Thank you for sharing this. My daughter has had 2 doses (a NICU nurse), and my daughter-in-law (also a nurse) has had 2, and was somewhat sick, which they said was “normal” since she had Covid-19 in November. Nothing serious, and felt better in a couple days. It sounds like it is best to expect to not feel great for a couple days, especially after the 2nd dose.
My husband was up at 5:30 to get in line ( for me) for the 6AM appt
He’s been trying this for two weeks.......I still don’t have an appt
He got his first shot (Pfizer) 2-1/2 weeks ago
At that time I wasn’t sure I wanted one......
Wife and I both had our first dose of the Pfizer vaccine about a week ago. No reactions whatsoever. Both in our early 70s. Second dose scheduled in a couple of weeks.
possible side effects of the Pfizer and Moderna EXPERIMENTAL vaccines.
There I fixed it.
Yes I saw the Friday 7 AM available slot. I am in St George county and there were 2050 vaccines available at 6 AM but the numbers were dropping fast. I was able to get an appointment after 45 minutes wait before the vaccines ran out.
Life is an experiment itself. There are so many nasty viruses and bacteria around. All we can do is play the odds and hope for the best.
I’ll wait for the J&J vac which they are saying is built upon a normal Flu vaccine type. mNRA? No way!
Health is perfect with no conditions at all, 51, 6’ and 190#.
Bkmrk
I see where AstraZeneca is also in the game.
That’s Pfizer, Moderna, Johnson & Johnson and AstraZeneca that I’m aware of.
Interesting to me as to why if the virus is so deadly that the FDA won’t approve the other manufactures?
Either way, I think I’d opt for an non mRNA one if one ever gets approved.
Get enlightened. Very interesting presentation by a doctor.

You gotta weigh the risk of vaccine versus getting infected and getting sick. My guess is vaccine has lesser risk. Main reason we decided for the vaccine now is we are finally expecting visits from family in May after holding off for 10 mionths, and they will be staying at out house for a week after a 6 hour flight.
