My arm was sore and I got a slight fever two days after my second dose. But since I run a couple degrees cold, no one believes I have a fever when I get all the way up to 98.7. Thanks to getting vaccinated, I could accept a lost minute wedding reception invitation. The venue required proof of vaccination. As a result, no one more masks. It was like old times. That's what I'm hoping for more this summer.
Have had both of mine , got first one 8th of feb. and second shot 8th of march, bit sore at injection site, from both, from first 36 hrs after i felt like ran over by a train , every joint hurt.. but was short lived, like 5 hrs later i was fine except still had a mild headache.. Second shot just the sore arm was it , nothing else, (moderna vacine). Glad i got them am an at risk senior . I hope those that are resisting taking the shot wise up and finally do something for someone but them themselves and get vaccinated
I had my first AstraZeneca vaccination on 26th May, I didnt even develop a sore spot and found it less bother than a tetanus booster(always sore after those). Im already scheduled and have an appointment in August for my second jab. I anticipate no problems at all. Although the media sensationalism has vilified the AstraZeneca vaccine for clotting issues, it must be remembered that there are a small number of individuals who react badly to routine vaccines even as children. In fact, these individuals are higher in number than those badly effected by AstraZeneca. Yes, its a numbers game and always has been: Which does more harm? The disease or the vaccine? Vaccines win every time.
I had my second AstraZeneca a week ago today, not so much as a sore spot either time, and Im very much looking forward to two weeks past my second jab as the vaccine will then be at maximum efficacy. I encourage everyone to get the jab so we can return to as close to our normal lives as possible.
