Toocrazy!! Posted February 6, 2021 Share Posted February 6, 2021 Both my parents, 83 and 87, who have previously had covid, were vaccinated with their first shot today. Moderna. So far, so good. Several friends had their second shots. Fever, chills, general yuck, but only for 24 hours. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ll have to ask about that bc that’s not the response I was given last I asked a year ago when I got the chicken pox vaccine for a 13 yr old. From the CDC, "After a person recovers from chickenpox, the virus stays dormant (inactive) in their body. The virus can reactivate later, causing shingles." 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it might be for 2000+ people, but not sure of all the details yet. So glad so many at risk people in my area will be on their way to being safe! I'm going to be working my first covid immunization clinic shift tomorrow! Apparently we can do up to 1200 per day. 11 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QueenCat Posted February 6, 2021 Share Posted February 6, 2021 I had my first Covid vaccination yesterday. So far, just a sore arm. No worse than the flu shot. I've heard that the second shot often has worse reactions. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bootsie Posted February 6, 2021 Share Posted February 6, 2021 My sister got her second Moderna shot on Thursday. Twenty-four hours later she had a large, hard, red knot (about 3 inches) in diameter at the site of the injection and said that it hurt to move her arm. She had one of those forehead thermometers that she placed over the injection site and it was reading 100 degrees. She was also beginning to have chills. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Low grade fever, body aches, terrible headache, joint pain...basically everything I knew to expect. I tried to hold off on taking Tylenol but finally had to give in around 2am. Never did fall back asleep. The immune system can be quite unpleasant! Quoting myself. The first night was definitely the worst of it. I felt pretty awful the entire following day, went to bed at 8 and woke up feeling 98% better. So about 48 hours from start to finish with the worst of it being from about the 16 hour mark through the 36 hour mark. 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Several hospital systems and counties are recruiting nursing students right now and the feeling I'm getting is that they're prepping for the J&J to be approved because it's so much less fussy than the mRNA vaccines.

Ali in OR Posted February 6, 2021 Share Posted February 6, 2021 We have the a range here. We all got our second Pfizer shot about 5:45 last night. The rest of the night was fine for all. Dh has no symptoms, not even a sore arm. 18yo dd has a headache and is staying in bed. After 15 or 16 hours of nothing but a sore arm that started during the night, I just wanted to lie down, had chills, the edges of a headache if I moved, and fever of 99-100°. Living on the sofa with the cat and dog watching The Great British Baking Show (turns out it's okay to nap through parts and just wake up for the judging). Very glad I got all my chores done yesterday and can have a down day or two this weekend. But this is still much better than Covid. 13 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MEmama Posted February 7, 2021 Share Posted February 7, 2021 Both of my parents have had their first shot. Dad (85) has recently recovered from a minor bout of COVID. He felt ok initially but the following day he felt pretty sore and run over for a few days. My mom (82) recently tested negative even though she showed minor symptoms at the same as my dad. She felt perfectly fine after her vaccination, but 2.5 weeks after she felt pretty bad for 2 days. I’m certain it was a delayed response. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoodGrief3 Posted February 7, 2021 Share Posted February 7, 2021 Had my second Pfizer dose Thursday. No reaction to first dose, super tired and headachy the day after the second dose. I *think it was vax related, but I broke my ankle and had surgery the previous week, so energy levels have gone up and down. Plus visited the dentist and started Invisalign the day of the vax, so headache could have been from moving teeth. Regardless, fine two days later. 🙂 Big bruise on my arm from the vax. The staff giving the injections are not people that normally do this as part of their job, but were trained for this specific situation. She was wiping off something that ran down my arm after the injection, and I was hoping it was not the fluid itself, lol. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vonfirmath Posted February 8, 2021 Share Posted February 8, 2021 I don't know if its reaction to the shot I got last Tuesday but I ended up getting tired after church yesterday and sleeping from 1:30p-5:30 or 6.

Ali in OR Posted February 8, 2021 Share Posted February 8, 2021 I think I'm pretty much back to normal today after my Friday shot. So it was fever, chills, fatigue, and the edge of a headache Saturday, fatigue only yesterday, and doing ok today, but maybe a little less energy than normal. That could be from just not eating enough too (fear not, I have plenty of fat stores to see me through). 18 yo Dd was fine yesterday after similar symptoms to mine on Saturday. Dh never had symptoms other than feeling like maybe he didn't get enough sleep by Saturday night (so a little fatigue I think), and disabled dd is just hard to tell, but she was happy and hummy playing in her bed Saturday, and I think if she felt like me she would have been silent. And I'd rather me be sick than her, so that's all ok to me! 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Acadie Posted February 8, 2021 Share Posted February 8, 2021 FIL is still tired, 10 days after his first Moderna shot. It's improving but he tends to be a power-through kind of guy so it is notable. I do wonder if he had Covid before, and if that would make any difference in terms of side effects. His idea of minimizing exposure during the pandemic is going to church and the gym, seeing some patients in his office, and having a few close friends over for dinner. He had a stroke several months ago and I will always wonder if it was a late complication of prior Covid infection. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On 2/5/2021 at 2:33 PM, Not_a_Number said: Yep. Like all the herpes viruses, it sticks around in your body, right? Like my cold sores, which will never go away... Yes, this is certainly true. If you had chicken pox that virus is just sitting in your body waiting for its chance to reactivate as the painful shingles virus. I was recommended to get the shingles vaccine right before the shortage happened a few years ago, so I had to wait until the supply returned. I've since had the shot and the booster. I've known two people who got shingles repeatedly and seeing what they went through made me determined to get the vaccine as soon as I could. Back to the Covid vaccine. There were some reports of people getting an itchy rash on their arm 8-10 days past the first Moderna dose. I'm past that and haven't experienced anything like that. As I previously said, just a sore arm for a day or two. Ds got the Pfizer a few days after I got my Moderna shot, so he'll actually get his second dose a few days before my second one. We're still trying to get dh scheduled. He's on the state waiting list and I keep getting up early when Publix opens appointments. I'm hoping we'll soon have Walgreens, CVS, and Walmart as options since the feds said they'll be sending vaccines to those pharmacies. FYI, Dh and I both qualify due to age. Ds23 qualifies because he works in a long term care facility. Where he works, all employees are tested twice a week and both employees and residents are getting vaccinated. Dss and ddil (adorable Emma's parents) are a firefighter and nurse respectively and have both been fully vaccinated.

cjzimmer1 Posted February 10, 2021 Share Posted February 10, 2021 My dad (over 80) got his first shot about a week and half ago. He had some wooziness later in the day (but's he's had multiple brain surgeries so it's doesn't take much to trigger this reaction for him) but no soreness. My mom got her invite to get her shot later (she's under 80) and had her appointment scheduled for this coming Sunday. However, the state (or maybe it's just that health group), has run out of vaccines so her appointment got canceled. It's tentatively rescheduled for early March.

I could have probably gone in, but I wasn't sure. The poor sub has to deal with the Valentine's party. 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
