Covid Vaccination, are you?

Here in NL the 2nd shot (AZ) can be stretched to a max of 12 weeks after the first one. Recommendation from AZ and our version of the CDC I believe. No idea what gives the best protection. We'll just have to go with what they recommend. Not much choice tbh.

Same in the U.K. efficacy is no different.

For the record: in the US at least, the CDC recommends that no more than six weeks, at a maximum, elapse between the two doses of either of the two-shot vaccinations. A first dose in March with the second three weeks from now (depending on exactly when in March and whether it's 3 full weeks from today) could be outside that recommended timeframe. And if anything happens to delay that appointment, that might compromise the protection they provide.

In the UK, the government opted for a twelve week interval to allow more people to be vaccinated asap. The plummeting infection and death rates here appear to suggest it was the correct call. I had my first AZ shot 11th February and have my second on Friday - less than a week before the 12 week deadline was up.

Had my first shot earlier this month, going to have my second next month, so I'm definitely awaiting to see how it goes for me.  Thankfully, nothing major happened with the first shot, other than having a sore arm and feeling tired.

It's been 2 weeks and a day since my 2nd Pfizer shot.

The first dose made me a bit brain fogged and sore for a few days and a couple of night sweats. The 2nd shot gave me minimal side-effects, maybe a day or two of a little lethargy.

I'm ready for some Vaxxx on Vaxxx shenanigans!

I can't wait until I'm comfortable to hit up sex clubs and/or group parties again, but until then - baby whore steps.

Was vaccinated with the second dose of Pfizer on Christmas Eve 2020 because im a healthcare worker that works on a medical respiratory ICU where almost all of the patients admitted to our unit are COVID+. You do not want to be intubated because youre unable to protect your airway, and even when you recover, desat just standing up out of bed to sit in a chair. Not at all a pleasant sight. I myself only had a slight reaction to the second dose; just some minor headaches and fatigue for two days is all. I am HIV+ and exposed to COVID+ patients every single day that are on airborne precautions and I still have not caught COVID. The vaccine works. Get it.

Fortunately, I got both of my doses.  I had the Moderna.  Only had a very sore arm for the first dose, nothing on the second.  Two of my co-workers got their 2nd dose and both had the tiredness, chills, sweating for about 24 hours then it was over.  Small price to pay instead of contracting the virus and having to be hospitalized.  My mom just got her first dose, age 80 and didn't even have a sore arm.  Goes to show how different everyone reacts to it.
