Had my first shot, and second is scheduled for a week from Friday. No problems with the first. (Moderna)

I got both of my Moderna shots a Publix grocery store - slight sore arm both times. Our Governor has opened up the availability for folks below 65 with health issues. Connie's DR is getting us a letter so I can get her done. That would remove a hurdle to summer travels for us.

I had to wait on mine due to having a severe case of covid back in late November. Wife and I are both getting our first round tomorrow.


John, have they ever decided if you are Immune after having Covid. I haven’t heard anything about that on the news lately.
And are we going to have to have a booster shot every year???
From my understanding, the immunity to Covid on lasts about 90 days after having it. I got my first vaccination Monday of this week, and supposed to get next one on the 28th.

I had my second Moderna shot on Monday. I just got a bit of a goose egg on my arm and it was a little sore for a couple of days.

Got my first shot of Moderna, yesterday. A little soreness, not bad at all. While getting my shot, our local hospital called to schedule me for vaccination, there. I had my wife call them back, she gets her first shot of Pfizer on Tues.

I got my second Moderna shot yesterday morning. Definitely a different reaction than the first. More pain at the injection site and just before going to bed last night, started in with chills, achy feeling and a mild headache. After a mostly sleepless night, things are much better today. I guess I’ll survive. :D

Thanks for sharing that, Don. It seems that it's a crap shoot, whether you'll have side effects, or not. I hope my second dose goes better than that. The first shot just gave me some soreness, that's still hanging on 4 days later, not bad but, for sure, know it's there.

Interestingly, my wife had no apparent reaction to the second shot. Same day, same time, same vaccine lot. Basically, I think it’s purely an individual thing and you won’t know until you get it.

Doesn't seem like a difficult decision, Bill! I'm hoping you decide to get it.

This happened yesterday and is important information for us in the older age group.

A friend had his 2nd dose of the vaccine at the vaccination center after which he began to have blurred vision on the way home. When he got home, he called the vaccination center for advice and to ask if he should go see a doctor, or be hospitalized. He was told NOT to go to a doctor or a hospital, but return to the vaccination center immediately and pick up his glasses!!

Ohio opened the available age to 60+ this week so I tried to get mine scheduled on line.... No luck! Wife took her mother for her shot at noon. Wife called me and said they had appointments available until 4:00, so shot it was! I was able to schedule the mom-in-law and my 2nd shots at the same time. So far, no noticable issues from the shot, just minor tenderness if I think about it and touch it. So, I just stop thinking about it and touching it!
