Yay!
Finally, completed my Moderna vaccine shots.
Got it earlier. Switched locations and stayed in line for a full two hours from start to finish. The waiting and moving places was a bit annoying especially since some people really have no sense of direction. Lines were switched multiple times but no one seemed to noticed. Oh well!
The consultation with the doctor was a joke. Was asked two questions:
1) Is Moderna your previous vaccine?
2) Are you ok today?
Duh?!!
Spent more time lining up than the actual vaccine.
So far no adverse effect. Hopefully, it stays like that. An uncle of mine had his Moderna 2nd dose the other day and hew had fever and body pains for two days.
Here's a pic of yours truly. Talking about vaccine after effects, I feel that my tongue got a bit bigger and longer.
What do you think?

The only other thing that happened when we were getting our shots was they took our temperatures before giving us the shots.
You look exactly the same to me...

I'm glad you wore sunglasses, this keeps the shot from causing blindness

Yeah. I saw a blinding light. If not for my sunglasses, who knows what would have happened.

Yes, the lines take longer than the actual shot. Hubby has Moderna, I have Pfizer. Now waiting to hear about if they want us to take boosters.

Same.
Here in the Philippines, they are talking about booster shots but there are still a lot of people that haven't been vaccinated yet.

Only two questions?
I got my second shot last week and I think it must have been 8 to 10 questions. More or less exactly the same questions as for the first shot, so they could have saved the answer to half of them. Some of them were about where you've been recently, but some where on medical history.
I had two not great days, but now it's only my arm itching. It's itching less than last week, but it's still itching. You could use that tongue to itch your arm if the same happens to you ;-)

We filled up the same questionnaire. Same set of answers except for the question about getting a vaccine. We should write that we had the first shot and the date that we got it.
We don't have a central database so everything needs to written down again.

@allen0187 Will they make a database of vaccinations, or do you have to keep a paper copy as confirmation?
I did everything onlne when booking the vaccine, so I think they could have stored some answers there.

@allen0187, oh I see, your body system is conditioned now. So it's normal to have fever after vaccinated.

Is it 8 months? I saw in the news it is likely a booster every 5 months.

My husband was one of the people that was a test person. He went for over a year and had many different shots to make sure there were no problems. He did that for a few months before the shots were given out to anyone. He never had any reaction to any of the shots he got.
They still check on him and the rest of the people that were the trial people.

Really, they had that for the CoViD-19 vaccines?
Hope he never gets an adverse reaction. So what brand was tested on your husband?
