They won’t let me take the vaccine due to bad reaction. Although with the pulled muscle and torn ligament I have now the vaccine can’t be worse.
I don't know how long it takes to start making antibodies. You reach the full effect after two weeks. They are now saying most people are at about 80% efficacy two weeks after the first shot and 95% two weeks after the second shot.I wonder how long after the first shot you start making some antibodies
If you had an actual anaphylactic reaction, yeah it could be a lot worse.I could not have felt any worse from a shot then I could have from this stupid pulled muscle and torn ligament.
That's what the pharmacist said when I got my flu shot. I mentioned that my niece had gotten a huge bruise and sore arm from her flu shot, and she said that's not really a side effect, that just means you tensed your arm and the muscle got damaged. So I wonder if the sore arm from the COVID is really a side effect or a tense muscle issue.For those going either for 1st or 2nd jabs, remember to relax your arm while taking the jab. Breathe slowly and relax as this will also relax the muscles in your arm that is about to be shot as the jab is targeted in the muscle group of your arm. This way, the arm won't ache so much and remember to keep moving your arm
Yes, many are afraid jabs and therefore they tend to tense up. Most jabs on the upper arm are shot in the muscle area. So even if you relax, the jab is still in the muscle area and therefore you get a sore arm. It'll be worse if you tense up. So I don't think the sore arm is a side effect but a tense muscle issue.That's what the pharmacist said when I got my flu shot.

You know, I wonder if that's why my arm was so sore! I was pretty stressed when I got the shot (more from having left J than the shot itself, but still), so even though I don't recall actively tensing up, maybe I still did. I'll have to try and consciously relax for the next one.That's what the pharmacist said when I got my flu shot.

Even when you relax, the soreness will still be there. That's why I mentioned to move your arms and do light stretching. After a few days, when you press the jab site, it is still sore but will subside as the days go by. It's been 4 days after my 2nd jab and the jab site is not so painful now. I think in another two days, the pain will be gone.You know, I wonder if that's why my arm was so sore!

!st shot nothing. It's the second shot. My barber got his 2nd shot and he went to work the next day, he couldn't lift his arm and he went homeI didn't have any pain or soreness from the first shot. I mean, I suppose if I had pressed directly on the needle mark it might have hurt, lol, but nothing otherwise. I'm getting the second one tomorrow, we'll see how that goes.
