We both just recieved our second shot on Monday and doing fine, no ill affects at all, just a bit of a sore arm. Feeling good and moving on, now just waiting on the dealer to get things fixed and back on the road.

That's good news. Everyone I know has had some adverse effects on the second shot. Apparently it's pretty common to feel bad, get headaches, etc. for a few days. Count yourself lucky.

We have had our first shot and are now trying to find out how to get the second shot. Here in Va this is the most screwed up mess ever. When you get the first shot they give you a paper that says they will notify you of the second shot. They send a link and when you click on it there is nothing there. Oh well we find it.

I hear people say they won’t get the shot. There have been 900 people per million in Va die from this disease and 8 die per million die from the shot and most of them were in long term care. I think I’ll get in the 8 per million group.

Both of us got both shots. Sore arm was about it for us. It drives Joyce nuts because I like to tell folks that I couldn't feel the last two fingers on my left hand since I had the second shot. It's not a lie, I can't. Her issue is that I couldn't feel them for the last ten years, but that doesn't change the fact that I couldn't feel them after I got the shot

That's hilarious! You are a perfect candidate for this.... blame absolutely everything on Covid! Get in a head on collision and someone dies. Coroner report ... Covid. Fall off a 10 story building and go ker-splat on the ground.
Coroner report ... Covid. Drown while scuba diving. Coroner report... Covid. Parachute fail to open. Coroner report ... Covid!

Now we get the shot! Fingers numb ... diagnosis: Covid shot caused it. Migraine headache won't go away ... Covid shot caused it. Arthritis fairing up? Covid shot caused it. I got drunk last night, fell in a ditch, and banged my head. Covid shot caused it!

Wow! a whole new ball park has just opened up for more excuses for dumb things that happen! I love it!

I have a good friend who did have a bad reaction to the shot, or his doctors about a dozen said he did. He had cancer 10 years or so ago. They had to kill off has immune system and replaced it and after $2,000,000 he is still alive after he was given 3 months to live. He got what looked like food poisoning and was in the hospital three days.
We can’t be sure exactly how many people have died from this disease but the CDC can get pretty close even if they don’t know exactly what each person died from. They know how many people will die each year. It’s pretty compiled but if a half million more die in a year when a pandemic is going on those extra deaths were from the pandemic.

I get my second shot on the 8th and Terrie gets her second shot on the 18th. I cannot believe how many people still think this is a hoax.

They think it's a hoax until someone close to them gets it and dies, then the reality sets in and they understand why the rest of us are wearing masks and staying clear of those who don't/won't.

This thing is no hoax. Nor is it total doom and gloom. There is a big difference between dying from covid and dying with covid. We'll never know the real numbers. Clearly if you have other significant issues it is a big deal. So would flues and numerous other common illnesses. What changes if you get the vaccine? Masks, distancing, hand washing, all remains in place. To each their own.

You left out the most important change...your chances of contracting the disease go down dramatically and if you do contract it the effects will be significantly milder.

My 46yo daughter just got it. So far, a mild to moderate case, no respiratory issues. She's so mad because she was a germophobe before covid, and she's been hiding in her house since this started, except for a few grocery runs. She double-masks and washes her hands all the time.

They had new HVAC installed about 10-14 days before she lost her smell, so she thinks possibly one of several workers might have passed it, although she says she was in her BR most of the time. Husband works in an office (until now), but he's very careful as he has COPD. He's waiting for his test results.

We plan to mask in places like stores and distance even after we get the second shot next week. By being careful and lucky we have stayed healthy for a year. So with the vaccination we feel much more confident we can safely travel and enjoy some tourist attractions again. Staying hid inside forever is not much better than dying.

It’s strange who gets this virus. Your daughter tried her best to be safe and still got it. My niece’s son got it. The whole family except for my wife and I spent Christmas with him and no one got sick. One of the guys in the shop’s wife got it and he didn’t. I don’t understand why some get it and some don’t.

Quite a few that get it have no symptoms and do not know they have or had it.

MLH, you're so right. We have one needy daughter who lives nearby, with two kiddies in school, and we probably see them every other day. Few in their schools have had it and they started in August. Daughter used to be slack about masking but is better now. Third daughter works in a hospital and is amazed needy daughter and kiddies haven't given it to us.

AZ Traveler, we both think there's a remote possibility we had a mild case a year ago. We didn't get tested, but we had most of the symptoms except respiratory issues, for about a week. It did not feel like the flu.

Maybe just maybe we can see the light at the end of the tunnel. I just hope it’s not a freight train dragged a cement truck.

Alta and I have had both injections (Pfizer); neither of us had any reaction either time.

I've heard that with a vax and you get sick the effects will be milder. In the case of covid, some folks have it and don't know it or have very mild symptoms. How can they say the effects will be milder when everyone's reaction is different? There is now way to quantify it unless the same person is exposed both with and without having a vax. Even then the results may not be definitive.

As we travel we are still going to take the same precautions with or without the vax. I'm afraid some will vax then feel invincible and not take effective precautions.
