How many of you have received the Pfizer Covid vaccine?

My parents, in their mid-80s, both got it. They did not have any significant side effects.

My grand parents have both had it, and didn’t notice any problems.

For me
Sore arm
Headache

Some people getting fevers after second one.

Still worth it though. Much less severe than the real thing

Better than potential death I'd say

My 78 yr old sister just had both doses and her immune system is horrible, but she and her husband have done just fine.

Just to state in the UK you must be monitored for at least 15 minutes after injection.

chills
joint pain
fever

severe allergic reaction[/quote]

My 85 year old neighbour has had two doses, she was mildly fatigued for a couple of days.
Another neighbour over the road had had second dose yesterday, she's been fine.
My son's partner's sister who's an icu nurse has had both too and no effects.

What happened??

Is she alergic to anything??

I haven't but some family members who work in the medical field have, and they had no ill effects at all. Guess it depends on the person, but when it's my turn I will be vaccinated.

Know several people who had Covid, got the vaccination and said it was worse than having Covid.

Same symptoms just more intense.

I wonder if those who experience unpleasant reaction to the injection would be more likely to experience a severe form of the disease, if they were exposed to the pathogen. Or if there'd be no correlation at all.

In any case I'll take more pleasantly the (low) risk of a adverse reactions to the vaxx, than that of exposure.

Side effects may be worse in younger patients than the elderly as the immune system gets weaker as you get older and the vaccine prompts an immune response.

I have heard that a lot of people are having some not so pleasant reactions to it. Especially people with allergies.

My doctor neighbour had it and had no problems.

What effects?

What happened?

Alan got it with no side effects. the only problem is state mandated uses of the excess dose in the vials.

Close friend received 2nd dose yesterday. Suffering chills, aches and pains today. An expected side effect that will pass.

i'm not getting it unless my job makes me

I haven’t received any version.... not even the bleach one.

I got my vaccination and I was fine.

I will not be receiving the vaccine because I've already had Covid.

I am unfamiliar with the medical definition of OH HELL NO.

Not yet!
