Covid vaccine

[sketchyrider]

I got the johnson and Johnson shot yesterday. I live in Florida. I qualified for high risk because of high blood pressure. My doctor has been giving away permission slips to as many patients as possible because the federally run vaccine site in my area can do up to 500 shots a day and is only seeing 100 visitors daily. He’s afraid it could close if not being utilized. Felt almost zero side effects. Was a little tired yesterday, but that could’ve been the daylight savings time lag. Arm hurts where the shot was administered but that’s all.

never thought i'd be jealous of someone with high blood pressure. i'm in fl too, work with kids once a week (for now) and am hoping that would qualify me as a teacher/daycare employee type thing. hard to figure out how to get signed up honestly.

According to the BMI calculator on the CDC website I am clinically overweight at 5’5 and 155 pounds (lol) so I qualify for the vaccine in my home state of GA now. Appointments were all booked up the the Atlanta area so I’m driving 3.5 hours south to Valdosta for my first dose this Saturday. Stoked at the prospect of not having to skate in a mask this summer and possibly reinstating a gym membership!

I got the Johnson and Johnson one a couple days ago. I did have a bad reaction to it. Had gnarly body aches and chills for several days. Thankfully im feeling better now.

Got the J&J shot on Sunday afternoon. I had a headache, body ache and chills in the night but woke-up with only a mild headache which some Aleve knocked out.

Got my first shot of AZ on Monday. Felt like absolute shit for 24 hours but not too bad today, just tired. It's all good though hyped to get started. We have to wait 3 months for the second dose here.

Have you previously been infected with covid? I saw a random news article about first dose patients who’ve previously had covid having rougher side effects than those who haven’t, and the possibility of them not needing the 2nd dose. I think it’s still being studied but it’s worth looking into. Anyway 3 months between doses seems way long, I haven’t heard of anyone having to wait that long.

Are you sure its not 3 weeks? That's what I had to wait.

[Billy Bitchcakes]

No it's 3 months. The UK government decided to lengthen the amount of time between the two doses so they could get more people partially protected, and then coincidentally discovered that the AZ vaccine that most are getting here is actually more effective with a 3 month gap. I don't think I've had covid but who knows. I've heard that younger people are more likely to have side effects. My parents both got it and were absolutely fine.

Got Pfizer #1 this AM. I was visibly stoked in there, tryna chat it up with everyone like "hey! We're gonna be free soon. Hell ya" but other than the nurses I kept thanking for their service, everyone was just looking their phones. Fuckin hell. It was hopeful to see old hillbilly's in there getting stabbed. Made me think about the damage the American Right and Trump had done to covid response and vaccine awareness across the globe. Once the motherfuxkers are gone, most people are getting it....

[sexualhelon]

The global vaccine situation to be pretty across the board.

Living in Germany, it's crazy how much they "botched" it. The mask scandal, amount of distrust in getting it, and the pause on the Astrazeneca vaccine.

Also, being originally from Mississippi, it's mind boggling how we're the poorest state but the second to open up the vaccine to all ages. Who would have thought that I'd be flying back to Mississippi to get the vaccine when in Germany my eta would be something like 6 months from now. My mom was also telling how it was easy/free to get tested and here they'd charge you 50+ euros or make it super difficult in that the information wasn't really transparent.

24 hours following Pfizer #1, I have felt better. Body aches and feeling dehydrated with light headaches regardless of water consumption and peeing clearish. Much like when a flu is coming on, I've felt it in my back/spine as sensations of weakness. Didn't sleep particularly well either. The feelings of crumminess are most prevalent when I'm laying/sitting around and mostly dissipate when actively engaged in physical work. Still, much better than when I was sick for 2-3 weeks last January/February with what may have been Covid. Looking forward to rd 2!

Hope you feel better soon my homey!

Got the Janssen/J&J vaccine two days ago. Didn't tell any of my co-workers why I was leaving early. Most talk about Bill Gates and other "socialist" billionaires injecting microchips. I don't believe any of this, but looked up the smallest IC chips to see if this is even theoretically possible (it's not). Got restless sick nightmare sleep the second night, but no real symptoms.

received mine Thursday morning and felt fine until about 8pm. Got pretty bad side effects and barely slept; sweating, chills, muscle aches, fatigue, and headache. Had to pull over on my drive into work yesterday because of the headache. Still felt a little off today so I’ve been loafing around. Still beats the potential alternative though

Received Pfizer dose #1 yesterday morning and had one soreness around the injection for about 12 hours and no other side effects whatsoever. Feeling very lucky and stoked to get dose #2. Most optimistic I have felt in a minute, though I know we still have a long way to go until “normalcy” returns

I got banned from twitter for 12 hours for this tweet.




I went ahead and focused my account. Im not hanging out anywhere that doesnt get satire, even if it's an algorithm.

hell ya. glad you didn't feel like crap. I felt shitty on and off from Thursday afternoon til Sunday AM. Although it sucked, it makes me hopeful that I've got a banging immune system. It's said that the shittier you feel, the stronger your immune system is capable of fighting

Ah shit I hope my lack of side effects doesn’t mean my immune system sucks lol. Suppose the results of the clinical trials can’t be argued against either way

got the j&j shot yesterday. it is kicking my ass.

It doesnt, dude. It's an unproven theory at best. The only thing that matters is the data.

got my second dose of pfizer on saturday at about 4:30pm.. was totally normal until sunday morning .. had chills, a high fever and worst headache .. went to sleep sunday night with a fever and headache .. woke up today with a headache but fever is gone .. my body temperature isn’t right still as im sweating but feel cold .. feel way better today but have a slight headache and super foggy .. if i has to guess, id expect to be back to normal tomorrow morning ..

so about 12 hours after shot is when you will start feeling symptoms .. and 48 hours after that for them to pass

Got Pfizer #1 a few hours ago... feeling okay, but I can sense I'm heading in a similar direction. I feel pretty restless/uncomfortable in my skin, which isn't unusual for me, but it's more prevalent than normal. Gonna go take a hike I think.

[jack burton]

Girlfriend did some digging and found a spot not far from us in wa where I was eligible for the vaccine. Got an appointment tomorrow at 12:40. Pretty excited to get it.

about the restlessness, it's interesting you mention it because my energy levels fluctuated like crazy, which when on the higher end of the spectrum could easily have manifested in feeling uncomfortable in my skin or anxious. Movement, when I did it, was super helpful in temporarily relieving discomfort. Weed food really helped a bit too. I also took some Claritin/antihistamine and that seemed to make difference as well. Of course that's anecdotal, but it did seemed to help. stay hydrated and keep the blood sugar at a good level

I've been part of a Vaccine trial since November, got 2 more inpatients and then it's all wrapped-up - 80% chance of getting the vaccine, 20% the placebo.
Should find out by the end of the month if I have it or not, in Oz we're only just starting to vaccinate front line workers and over 60's at the moment so I'd probably be 6 months down the line if not for this.

Shot one of moderna left 0 side-effects for me + roommate 3 days on now. Just a sore arm day 1. Skated and surfed every day since just fine.

[TwisT]

Sup homies, I got Pfizer Friday. I'd say the main side effect was feeling really lethargic. I went skating that same day and the day after but didn't really put any effort in. I did have to cross state lines to get the shot. While I could probably qualify due to BMI, I've had friends smaller than me got it all ready. The state over let people who work higher education get it sooner and have a mass evac site with greater availability. It was an hour-forty min drive. I was in and out in 20min, and that's only because I had to wait 15min after the shot.

My girlfriend got Moderna from Kroger and she had effects like mine. If you guys are looking on their websites, just keep in mind that spots randomly open and close. It's like buying tickets to a concert. She was on the site for an hour and a slot opened up only a few minutes from the house.

Getting Pfizer round 2 in a few days, bracing myself for potential side effects. Most people I know have gotten rocked but I do have at least one friend who was fine. I felt hung over after round 1 but that may have been partly from my actual hangover. Gonna try to roll up to this one in better condition just in case it makes my immune system more responsive or something. This thread feels like Erowid for vaccines.

Get my second Moderna on Monday, bracing for similar. Contemplating scheduling a sick day for Tuesday just in case.

Got the J&J vaccine yesterday afternoon. All fine at first, then woke up around 02:30 with a raging fever. Couldn't sleep much the rest of the night. Today is rough but kinda just like a bad hangover. My body feels awful but I'm in a great mood. Hoping it doesn't last much past today or tomorrow!
