My wife and I got Moderna doses #2 over the weekend. The only thing I felt was a little fatigue and a little sore arm, that's it. My wife had a fever & chills which started 8-10 hours after getting the dose and lasted for next 24 hours (had to take a sick day). For the 1st dose (4 weeks prior), we only felt sore arms.

From my knowledge it does seem men experience lesser side effects than women after getting #2.

Same thing happened to my friends wife after the Moderna vaccine. He got the Pfizer vaccine and just a sore arm.
 
Wife had J&J yesterday. Chills, headache fatigue today but better already. I’m O positive, had Pfizer in Jan, no symptoms.

Second Pfizer yesterday and no ill effects so far. Wife had her first Pfizer saturday and she had noticeable pain in the arm for two days.

I'm in NY and I (along with most people in my family who have been vaccinated) got Pfizer too. I had a tiny soreness in my arm but otherwise really no effects for the first shot. My dad is late 60s he had zero effects, not even a sore arm. Fiancee felt slightly "off" the first day but nothing at all major and might have been half anxiety.

All in all, so far I'm happy with Pfizer and hoping the second dose goes smoothly. Everything I've read their effectiveness is very solid.

Well if they'd been married awhile they probably are used to getting #2.
 
I just got my first Pfizer shot here in the ATL. They had open it up to everyone over 25 BMI last week and other underlying conditions. Pretty much everyone in Georgia. LOL! Starting tomorrow anyone over 16 can get the shot. It was about 30 minutes to get the shot. Lots of people in there but the process was smooth. The shot I didn't even feel. I waited the mandatory 15 minutes(no one enforcing it) and left. So 50 minutes was not bad with all the people getting shots there at the Mercedes Benz Stadium. Very smooth process in a huge building. I got home and signed up for my 2nd shot for April 14. 2021. I can't wait to get it and start traveling once other countries open their borders to us.

What on earth is the point in opening it up early to everyone over a 25 BMI? If you're a 5'10 male 175 lbs. is over 25 BMI.

Would be interesting to see if that's the case across all recipients. And if so, why?
Again I have always suspected there is more to this virus on a genetic level then we are aware of. It has been fatal in men at a greater rate than womem.

There have been studies that estrogen incurs some sort of immune survival against SARS and COV. Year old female mice tend to survive at much higher rates than year old male mice, not much of a difference is seen in young mice
 
With a certain amount of trepidation I went and got my first shot of the Pfizer vaxer. So far so good.

I have a little bit of a sniffle so I'm gonna go blow my noses.

Got Pfizer #1 yesterday, got my next appt set up for 21 days. Went to the Rent. Got the appt through VAMS and was refreshing VAMS, MyChart+, Walgreens and CVS like a fiend for 2.5 days.

As everyone has said, pretty sore arm. Nothing else to report though. And I will be going with 8893's recommended prescription of a good steak and a cab this weekend to celebrate.

Exactly that is how the whole Atlanta Hawks team got vaccinated already.

I spent every Saturday with Joey Logano for years and I've never seen him buy anyone a drink!

I mean, we were kids, but I'm just saying.
 
I've got my 1st shot at 11:30 today at St. Mary's in Waterbury. Has anyone been to that facility and know which shot they are using?

Got both Moderna's last month. 2nd shot was worse (side effects) than the first.

When my wife got her shots later, the 1st one put her down for a couple of days.

When she got the 2nd, I suggested that she immediately take Tylenol to reduce fever, headache and the typical mild flu symptoms. It worked both times for her and my friends who also got the shot. None of them had adverse or serious reactions.

Not saying that Tylenol is the cure to ensure less reaction, but its a 'harmless' consideration that I will continue to recommend. Arm soreness is to be expected though.

I got Pfizer at WAMS yesterday and they had Pfizer and Moderna. I asked and there was no factor as to which one I was receiving. I am not sure if it's the same situation at St. Mary's.

After 8 days of the Moderna vaccine, I got the Covid arm yesterday. Just a bit swollen and itchy. It's starting to diminish after putting an ice pack on it last night.

It's nothing to be alarmed about though.

They didn't tell you when you made the appointment? In MA they tell you which shot you are getting when you make the appointment.

I saw someone who got out of appointment line in Old Saybrook last Saturday because it was Moderna and not Johnson.

I think that is ludicrous.

In my mind who cares,? you take the shot and then worry about which one after. They will certainly tell you when you are there, it will be on your card.

I can understand that one if someone wanted the one-and-done and the different type of vaccine than the type being used in both Moderna and Pfizer.

I wouldn't make a deal out of it, but I can understand why it would matter to some people. It would be ludicrous to care as between Moderna and Pfizer though.

If anything the Johnson vaccine is lagging in efficacy. So one and done makes zero sense in that light.
 
Pfizer shot 1 today down here in Greensboro. Facility run by FEMA, very organized, well staffed and efficient. No side effects and I have been moving my left arm as suggested by the BYers.

Hour and half after shot: Really have a strong distaste for crabcakes and football - but that probably developed on March 20th.

Yes and no.

It's not really an apples-to-apples comparison as between J&J versus Pfizer/Moderna because it's my understanding the J&J trials included a population that had one or more variants, whereas the Pfizer and Moderna trials did not.

The reason J&J is only doing one shot (now) is because they were able to attain better efficacy with one shot than Pfizer or Moderna did. And if the conventional wisdom is that we are likely to need a seasonal booster for the Pfizer and Moderna shots, with perhaps a tweak for the variants, there's no reason why J&J can't do the same, in which case you are still skipping a shot with J&J to achieve the same end .

Reasonable, well informed or otherwise, some people seeking J&J shots may prefer more traditional vaccines with a wee bit of the actual virus vs MRNA's and PFE's new tech messenger RNA (mRNA) vaccines. The latter 2 vaccines trigger the immune system to produce protective antibodies without using some of the actual virus.

Due to current and ongoing SARS-2 mutations, e.g., multiple in Brazil, so-called double mutations in India, etc, booster inoculations may be encouraged or required this fall for people receiving any of the vaccines. Regardless of brand, the more people inoculated the better for everyone; including even the people avoiding any vaccine.
 
great gramms, she of being 95 and tooling around in the chrysler fame, has decided to go j+j. someday. when the spirit moves her. interesting to note that, finally and ever so subtly, the conversation here now includes 'booster' language....
family/friends scorecard to date:
single digits j+j,
double digits mrna,
double digits 'as if, get away from me.'

No, they don't tell you beforehand. I ended up with Pfizer.
