Did You Get Sick From the Coronavirus Vaccine?

@porwest Well, that would explain why you didn't get sick from it!

It's a very personal decision for each person to get the vaccine or not. I know people who get into arguments for and against getting the vaccine. I just say "to each their own." And you have to do what is right for you.

@Kouponkaren Just the way it should be. Just way too experimental for me IMO. You are right, to each their own.

I'm curious too. It's the first vaccine that uses the public for standard testing. I plan on waiting a bit before getting vaccinated, after it's a more proven product.

@Vikingswest1 I feel like I have already been waiting a bit and around here am probably one of the last ones to get the vaccine. I honestly feel relieved to have gotten them both now, which was unexpected. I think I still have to wait 2 weeks before I am considered totally vaccinated though.

@Kouponkaren But that's just it. It doesn't vaccinate you totally. You can still get and spread Covid after the shots.

@Vikingswest1 All vaccines are that way. They just help your body prepare so that you dont get a severe case of what ever it is. I had chicken pox as a child and had been vaccinated. Same with my boys, They both had their shots and still got chicken pox. Just not a bad case of them.

I had the Phizer vaccine, and only the first dose so far. I had a slight reaction after I left the immunization clinic, my arm swelled up, got hard and red from the injection site down to my wrist. Still to this day it is a pinker shade then the other arm is. Strange, but much better then some of the reactions that I have heard people having, and at least it happened on my drive home so that I didn't have to be scrutinized by the medical staff at the clinic.

@meowch Oh no, I was hoping to only have to deal with it one day, the day after the shot. I didn't know it could go into the 3rd day. I have a little bit of aches and chills tonight...same thing I had after the first shot. But that happens to me all the time when my body is trying to fight something. I hope it doesn't get worse tomorrow.
