Excellent advice @Marsimaxam. But...
You still need to show us your vaccination watch(es)!

 

I wore the Rolex for the first dose and the Omega for the second.

 

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.

First I missed out on a button then Whiskey.

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.

 

It's slow here in Montana you have to be 70 and above and if your under 70 even with health condition like my brother a few years under 70 with liver decease, low platelet count were you can bleed out easy and high blood pressure he on the local clinic list and the VA still has not got the shot yet that new one shot dose Montana only getting 1500 doses a drop in the bucket. My sister and mom live in California they both got there shot some states seem to be more on it. I am 63 with high blood pressure mite be 2-5 month if lucky to get it. Can I ask the age of most who got it ?

 

Read England now doing age 50 dam they are so far ahead of the USA

 

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.

 

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 would send you a shot of whisky with the postal service, but they might spill it!

 

Yes an annual flu and covid shot will become the norm.

 

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.

 

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.”

That is correct

 

Had mine 2 weeks ago age 49 and live in Bolton nr. Manchester. I'm a little early because I have kidney disease.

 

Received my second dose last Friday. Other than a four-day headache, yea!!
