I did, I got it this past Thursday and yesterday I had a flu-like reaction- low fever, aches, sooo tired until yesterday evening. I just had to lay around, and slept for 10 hours last night. Today I feel fine.Has anyone had any side effects from the Pfizer shot, either first or second? I doubt I'll get any, but I'd just like to be prepared.
No it wouldn't be harmful. I had coffee with caffeine, and Gatorade.Stupid question and please do not laugh: But is it harmful to drink an energy drink after being vaccinated. My past history with vaccines, I know I'll be down for 48 hours. However that will do my Mom no good at all if she falls and I'm too weak or tired to get up. So I have made a decision that to keep her from being infected I'll go through with it if I can take an energy drink (not a lot at one time, just enough to function). The shot will HAVE to be in the arm that I suffer frozen shoulder. Reason is I need at least one good working arm and I'm used to pain and swelling the the frozen shoulder side anyway. What's a little bit more. Second, I know I can't do the Pfizer because I'm allergic to one of the ingredients (the one with the long word beginning with A.) The other two I have no idea but I'd rather do the Johnson and Johnson. If I'm going to be down, let's do it all in one trip instead of going through it twice. Also I will not vaccinate at the same time Mom does. Won't do any good if both of us are down as she WILL call the police on anyone coming over to help her. Ugh. Also if I can find a secondary feeder (I think the lady across the street may help). I know it's a long shot and a lot to ask but I'm not getting answers from doctors or nurses around here (why does that not surprise me?).
I had Pfizer number 1 on Friday around 11;45am. I was tired all day, arm was sore as well. Yesterday my arm was veryHas anyone had any side effects from the Pfizer shot, either first or second? I doubt I'll get any, but I'd just like to be prepared.
I hadn't heard about that. I would be concerned about a rash with the first shot because that sounds like an allergic reaction. People often have a more serious reaction the second time they are exposed to something. I didn't have a rash, the only thing I had was the sore spot like I have with a flu shot.Did you read about the rashes from the first Moderna? LT posted a link in the positive thread
Yep!
We can virtually hold each others hands!Yep!
I'm curious as to how my vaccination will go as I think I was infected last year before testing was being done. But it's been a year now so I may not have any antibodies in my system anymore if I didn't hold any immunity....I'm also not going to get the vaccine until the end of the summer. I presume anyway, due to my age group and lack of pre-existing conditions, I probably won't qualify for a while.I only had the usual soreness at the injection site so if this true then I was not previously infected. I live at home, work at home the majority of the time and have been very careful when going out only for necessity so it makes sense that I was not previously infected.
And thank you from this Canadian.The U.S. has given some of their AstraZenica vaccine to Canada and Mexico so they may speed things up. They are calling it a 'loan' but I think that term is for domestic consumption. That is the first real sign that the government is comfortable with having enough vaccine to vaccinate everyone in the U.S.
