Maybe, but it could be how relaxed you had your delt. The needles are very short, barely a centimeter. They just have to get it into the muscle. But, if you're tensed up, there's more tissue damage.
#2 Modern at 4:30 today. I'm pretty good at relaxing for shots, they're not a problem for me. With #1, I remember waking at midnight with a sore arm which lasted about 24 hours. Hubs was slightly sore, mine felt like I'd been hit with a bat. To be fair, I was sleeping on that arm. I'll not do that tonight.

I got the second shot of Moderna at 9 am this morning. I'm feeling a little fuzzy which happened with the first shot too but otherwise I feel fine.

So after 24 I ended up with a sore arm, a lotta tired and meh, and vague headache and body aches, treated with Advil and a bit of Sauvignon Blanc.

:dance: Hooray, done! Pfizer #2 this morning and actually not as sore as #1, but got a bit dizzy (nearly fell right after at the CVS so sat back down for a few more minutes, be careful of those moving folding chairs! :lol: ). Came right back, laid down and listened to some of this wonderful Audible book, Shakespeare The Biography. Read by Simon Vance, we love his soothing voice, he reads the Anne Rice books too.

In a magnificent feat of re-creating sixteenth-century London and Stratford, best-selling biographer and novelist Peter Ackroyd brings William Shakespeare to life in the manner of a contemporary rather than a biographer. Following his magisterial and ingenious re-creations of the lives of Chaucer, Dickens, T. S. Eliot, William Blake, and Sir Thomas More, Ackroyd delivers his crowning achievement with this definitive and imaginative biographical masterpiece.



One more week! :boxing:

I thought it was two weeks after the second dose of Pfizer. If it's 7 days, I AM IMMUNE!!!

Hmm. On my Pfizer post-second dose info sheet it says two weeks. This is the info sheet we were handed at the vaccination site. Every day new data emerge, though. :stars:

CDC does say two weeks.
When you are fully vaccinated
People are considered fully vaccinated:

2 weeks after their second shot in a 2-dose series, like the Pfizer or Moderna vaccines, or
2 weeks after a single-shot vaccine, like Johnson & Johnson’s Janssen vaccine

Looks like there's conflicting information and that chart was from the BBC, but since it was from Dec 2020 looked around a bit more. Two weeks can't hurt, but still seeing many sources saying a week after the Pfizer gets it to 95%. After the 1st dose is 80% so we're all still ahead -- but apologies if this created any confusion, wasn't the intention at all.

Healthline: Medically reviewed by Cameron White, M.D., MPH — Written by Jill Seladi-Schulman, Ph.D. on March 9, 2021
Now that we’ve discussed how long it generally takes to have immunity, let’s take a look at the effectiveness of the Pfizer-BioNTech and Moderna vaccines in the weeks after the second dose.

PFIZER-BIONTECH
The Pfizer-BioNTech clinical trial evaluated vaccine effectiveness 1 week after participants had gotten their second dose. Researchers found that the vaccine was 95 percent effective at preventing COVID-19 at this point.

MODERNA
The Moderna clinical trial looked at vaccine effectiveness 2 weeks after participants had received their second dose. At this point, the vaccine was found to be 94.1 percent effective at preventing COVID-19.

#2 Moderna yesterday afternoon. Arm was sore with first one, this time it feels like Babe Ruth tried to hit it out of the park.

Headache started last night. The pharmacist told me it was best not to take any pain reliever if I could avoid it but if I ran a high fever to take Tylenol. No fever, thank goodness, but still have the headache. About 2 a.m. last night, I got up and rubbed some topical MJ into my temples and was able to get some sleep. I'll probably do it again here in a couple of hours and lie back down.

Totally worth it.

Hope this is ok to post here. We know that some communities are vaccine-averse. Not the anti-science idjits, but people with a heritage of abuse. This public service video touched my heart, especially the day after the Chauvin verdict.

Dr. Vicklund just texted me that she got her second Pfizer jab, no immediate reaction. In two weeks, the Vicklund household will be fully vaccinated. Still masking and social distancing, of course.

First does of Astra-Zeneca today. 2nd Shot scheduled for 18 August.

Experience: whole thing went smoothly. I felt NOTHING not even a prick. SWMBO felt the dose go in but not the needle prick. After twiddling thumbs for 15 minutes, we were sent home. Opening the door of the clinic, my arm felt a bit weak. By the time we got to the car (a block away) that sensation was gone, but my elbow had a bit of an ache. The elbow might well have been arthritis - I have lots of arthritis all over that I hardly notice anymore unless I'm looking for it. 3 hours later and I don't notice anything at all that wasn't there an hour before the shot.

Second shot in August seems a long way away, but Australia is having real problems getting doses. They shot their wad early on the Australian vaccine development that got called off before final trials (it tended to cause false positives for HIV) and then didn't fund the research to fix the problems (they have already corrected the problem, but there is no funding for new trials), so now we have to scramble to get enough.

I'm going to get my third booster on Wednesday.

My previous shots have all been Moderna. I'll be getting the Pfizer bivalent this time. Does anyone know of a reason I should stick with the Moderna? (I can change my appt if it makes more sense to stick with the Moderna shots.)
