Second covid vaccine shot acquired!
It's now been a few hours since my second dose of the covid vaccine was administered, and so far I feel normal. No aches. No headaches. No soreness. When I got the first shot, I had some pain a few hours later, but today there's nothing.It was a completely different experience as well. The first time, I felt the needle go into my shoulder, but this time.. Nothing..
I originally had an appointment in a few hours time (current time is 11:21 am, and my scheduled time was 1:50 pm, but I decided to just get it over with. My second dose was administered at 9:02 am.
I went to the vaccination center, and I got booked in. I then got called into one of the booths, where I was instructed to sit. Then I met the person who was going to administer the vaccine dose - and she was absolutely beautiful. I swear, if it wasn't in a professional setting, I might have asked her out. I didn't, because it didn't feel like the right thing to do then and there. Anyway.. I told her about my discomfort with needles, and she was super understanding. She told me to look away while she administered the dose. Ten seconds later, I was done. I thanked her for her way she administered the dose, and then I was on my way to the observation area.
Fifteen minutes later, I was out of the door, feeling good about what I had done. Two weeks from now I will be fully vaccinated, since it takes 2 weeks for it to take effect.
Wonderful!

Mercedes_00 - I got the Pfizer vaccine
First jab My arm was very painful..I felt irritable and fatigued.
Second jab my arm was fine but I felt very sad and fatigued.
They say the second Pfizer jab is worse but out of those two descriptions I gave you I reckon my second jab was the worse in the sense feeling sad is a horrible feeling
Say roughly a 2%-3% Death rate for covid....
versus roughly a 1 in 100,000+ chance of death from vaccine....
* figures approximate, but search the web, and that is pretty well the case....
As I said (above) people seem to have a basic problem with numbers......
Philipsen, my nurse was also adorable, making the whole second jab a walk in the park compared to the first one.
I was able to ask her as the atmosphere was slightly flirtatious lol, but she was married.
I know of many people who are finally getting the vaccine...
Hopefully, many more will..and, we can put this virus behind us.
