I had dose one of Pfizer so far— similar side effects, not much different from the last flu shots I had.
This is what’s going to convince 95% of the skeptics out there: hearing from their friends, neighbors, and family members who got the vaccines that they’re no big deal. Given the choice between a sore arm, fever, and/or headache and a disease with a 5% chance of putting you in the hospital and a 0.65% chance of killing you (across the entire population), it’s a pretty easy choice.
There will be a small number of people who will never get vaccinated (probably under 1-2%). The other 98-99% will be happy to put this all behind us.
I had much better luck booking a vaccine appt with CVS pharmacy than that CDC VAMS web site.
