·As a healthcare provider I have been fortunate to have had both doses. Unfortunately, no one else in my family has received the vaccine.
Thoughts...
1. First dose, had minimal side effects; sore arm and very slightly lethargic. Second dose the side effects were the same but a bit more intense. I have found after talking to a number of friends and colleagues that this is very typical. Expect more intense side effects for the second dose.
2. Everyone please get vaccinated. I understand that if you have had Covid the recommendation is that you wait 90 days after symptoms subside to get the vaccine.
3. After you receive your vaccine dose continue practicing all precautionary behavior. Wear masks, keep at least 6 feet apart and wash your hands frequently. Cloth masks do not stop viral matter, and if you are standing too close to someone who is infected you can become infected, regardless if both parties are wearing cloth masks...
4. Remember the vaccine does not make you immune to Covid, but, rather it is designed to prevent serious illness. You can still get Covid and you can still infect others. I did read a study from Israel that did state that the vaccine does reduce transmission.
4. It's been a very frustrating experience; the pandemic and the foolish behavior of far too many people. It's too soon to let our guard down. Stay safe, get vaccinated, protect yourself and others, and a better tomorrow awaits.

·Great Post. So very helpful and logical.
I had the lethargic effect the following day, found that two large shots of Whisky that evening and it was all back to normal the next day.
Good health wishes to all.

Looking forward to my second shot now!

·I've had both my Pfizer jabs but unfortunately no button or stickers, no was it in as fancy a place like the Pats stadium like @sxl2004 ! 🙁
My Racing Pro felt a tad heavier after jab #1 (slightly sore left arm) but that's about it. After jab #2 however, the 2nd night after my jab (around 30 hours exactly) I felt nauseous, dizzy and had to go to bed early. After a good night's sleep I was back to normal. Definitely recommended.

·I guess per the recommendations I will attempt to get the vax later this summer.
I had the virus (as did the wife and kids) in the first part of January.The symptoms were a bit different for all of us. The kids blew through it in a couple of days. The wife felt it somewhat mildly but for an extended period, 2 weeks. Mostly fatigue and a little fever.
I, on the other hand, was pretty sick. It started out rather mild. Sore throat, not chills but feeling extremely cold. Then came the fatigue, loss of taste and smell. I did not get any respiratory symptoms (flem or mucus) at first, just a sharpness in my lungs when I took a deep breath. After a couple of days, walking to the kitchen became difficult. I could not catch my breath. At day 7 I became concerned that if this kept up much longer it could problematic. Weakness and loss of appetite. At day 10 I had lost 10 pounds so far. Not bad I guess, but I was scary looking.My eyes became gaunt.
Day 11 I woke up and something was different. I knew I was through. Physically weakened like I had never been before But hungry and relieved. I tested negative 3 days later and was back to work 5 days after day 11. It was very difficult at work. So easily winded. But it was the right decision. Getting out into the fresh air and exerting myself accelerated my recovery.

·Want to hear some thing dumb young people don't care about us old farts. Went to the dentist about four weeks ago to get a crown started the young girl dental technician said she needed to get some sun away from the snow here in Montana so her and husband were going to Florida to see some relatives. Had a appointment to replace the temp crown they had to reschedule due to some one in the office was near a relative with COVID well Florida COVID capital think I know a idiot who brought COVID back to Montana. Young people don't think and take risk they should not. Being in the health field she should of been smarter not a dumb shit.

At this time, individuals in the Texas DSHS definition of Phase 1A and Phase 1B are eligible to be vaccinated. However, there is currently not enough vaccine supply in our area to meet the demand for everyone who falls within these categories.

- Phase 1A: Front-line healthcare workers and residents at long-term care facilities
- Phase 1B: People 65 years of age and older; people 16 years of age and older with at least one chronic medical condition that puts them at increased risk for severe illness from the virus that causes COVID-19

Glad you made it through okay, but sounded a bit alarming as I was reading how it got worse. I think getting the vaccine is a good idea, as there appears to be more studies showing that the variants are in some cases not responding to natural immunity. The last story I saw on this was talking specifically about the New York variant, and that reinfection with one of these seems be more likely as we go through this and more variants emerge.
I saw one infectious disease specialist, talking about people who wanted one vaccine over another due to the published effectiveness rates, saying get what you can when it becomes available, because this likely won't be the last Covid-19 vaccine you get anyway. Pretty sure the last pandemic for the H1N1 went the same way, and it's rolled into the yearly flu shot now.

·I got an unexpected call from our local clinic this morning. Awhile back I signed up on their COVID-19 vaccination wait list which they keep when there are cancellations and there is a need to fill a spot on short notice to avoid wasting vaccines. Needles to say, I dropped everything and rushed right over
And of course I set the bezel of my Omega Seamster 120 skin diver to time the 15 minutes required to wait after getting the shot.

·I’m in group 1A (top priority) in my state (Pennsylvania) and just received a text confirming my appointment for the first dose next Thursday, 3/11. It’s a huge relief for me as I am medication dependent to breathe under normal circumstances, so I’ve been living like a hermit for a year now to avoid becoming infected. The rollout of the vaccine in my state has been poorly executed and certainly exacerbated by the very limited quantities of vaccine shipped so far relative to the state’s population. So many unnecessary deaths here in the US. We should have done so much better than we have.

·Phase 1B: People 65 years of age and older; people 16 years of age and older with at least one chronic medical condition that puts them at increased risk for severe illness from the virus that causes COVID-19
The bold language being a part of the issue. The people administering the vaccine do not have a doctor patient relationship with the person being vaccinated, so there is no way to vet or deny a person stating they have some such “chronic medical condition.”
Pretty sure the last pandemic for the H1N1 went the same way, and it's rolled into the yearly flu shot now.
That is correct
