I’ve heard the same thing; some folks are out of action for a couple of days. My wife just got her second dose of the Pfizer vaccine yesterday, and I got my first one today. She had some of the “standard” side effects from the initial dose (headache, slight fever, pain in the arm where she received the injection), but quickly recovered. So, far, I’m not experiencing any side effects, but it’s been only been six hours since I got the shot.
Hope my experiences with the second dose mirror those of my wife. She is 70; I’m a bit younger, so we decided taking the vaccine made sense for us. Our adult daughter and granddaughter have elected to take a pass, and for them, it makes perfect sense. Heard on the news today that Alaska has dropped the age to 16 to receive the vaccine and you don’t need a pre-existing condition to qualify. That tells me a lot of healthy people have already had the illness, don’t trust the vaccine and over-supply is becoming a problem.
So why did you get the vaccine?
Glad things have worked out well for you guys so far.
As with most government things, I don’t mind some of it and dislike the rest.
If I were a government official, I’d be torn between some of
the choices we’ve had so far.
It’s a whole lot easier when we don’t have the responsibility
for trying to do the right thing for the public.
If I had millions of people counting on me, it would be pretty
difficult to come up with the right decisions at times.
