    That part about changing almost never happens.

    It's more like anti-psychotics. "I feel better, so I'm cured! I no longer need to take my meds."
    By the way; has anyone seen my axe?

    After 2 doses of Moderna or Pfizer your immunity should be around 95%, with just one dose it's around 80%. Some people just say, "Meh, good enough. Fuck it." Personally I'd rather have just a 5% chance of getting sick than 20%.

    And if there was even a 5% chance that I might vector a disease to my community that might sicken or kill you or your loved ones, I believe that it's incumbent upon me to take precautions.

    Like Dr. Fauci once observed; I can explain the science to you, but I can't tell you why you should care about other people.

    I have not seen anything on the news, does your doctor have any information? I’m curious about the possible side affects if any of mixing the vaccine with the another.

    When I went for jab #2 there was almost NOBODY there at a GIANT State/Health dept setup that could do hundreds at a time there was barely a dozen people apparently herd immunity will escape us

    I had my AZ jab a few weeks ago (late March) - the after effects seemed slight, - but bearable"-
    Headache and fatigue, though this seemed to abate after a week.
    I've found that I am grtting tired a lot more recently, but don't know if that's just coincidental
    Jab Two = set for June 11th, so I'll wait and see what fate awaits then :)

    You are the first person I know to respond saying they had they AZ jab. Glad to hear you are OK.

    My friend got his the same day as mine, and since then has been tired almost constantly.

    I had both while in in hospital for several weeks, and have also been fatigued and headachey. After #2 I was still fatigued, but the headaches eased off.
    Don't you hate the test to find out whether you have it? Felt like they were trying to get a brain sample.

    I'm lucky to be able to work from home, and work flexible hours, so when I get fatigued I can log off, have a nap for a hour / two and return to working - I know I am fortunate to be able to do that - I don't know how I'd cope with working where Ihave to travel though

    Was signed up for May 4th to get the first shot... Once they started taking appointments again that was the first day available.

    Yesterday afternoon I get a call... "there was a cancellation, could you come tomorrow at 9:00?"

    "Okay..."

    Reading the possible side effects is like reading a list what I go through everyday... So how would I tell?

    Pain, fatigue, cough, ... Aaaaa, Yeah, starts every morning as soon as I get out of bed. What else is new?


    Anyways, Next shot in 3 weeks or someshyt...

    Make sure you get that second one, bro. I’m hearing that there’s folks not doing this.

    ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

    Yeah, some people are getting their first dose of the vaccine and if they experience any side-effects at all they say 'fuck it' i'm not getting the second shot,
    80% efficacy is good enough.
