Have you gotten your vaccine shot?

i don't get my news from facebook because so much is so untrue, i am just going by various news sources i have read. the 2,000 is what one website had stated. whether true or not, it's certainly worth the risk, vs getting covid for sure. i will be glad when this is over. the sad truth though, it may never actually be over. something new will always be their in the future on a bigger scale.
 
sorry you felt so bad , very pleased you got through it ok, on the whole I think you did the right thing, the alternative can be much, much worse....even long covid , which is apparently affecting quite a high percentage of people who caught the disease. They interviewed a couple in their 30s here in oz who both are feeling awful 8 months after they contracted the virus.Shortness of breath, aching , chest pain, brain fog, not a nice experience. Some people with this syndrome feel better after the vaccine , others worse.....

Thank you Sir Dan,

As is with life, some things are a Coin Toss, there is nothing that is ever 100% at least from what I have seen.........

This Pandemic is truly a defining, life changing time for the me, the world.........Especially after I read this recent excerpt a week ago....

Well, the NHS fought over me. I had a letter from the NHS pointing me to a website where I could book my appointments. So 22 March locally, early June at Crystal Palace football ground (some comedian suggested you could get 25 shots there and everyone would miss).

The next day I had a text from my local surgery offering local appointments. I could, according to the surgery, either accept or opt out. I suggested that I was doing neither as I had already lept at the first chance offered to me.

Anyhow, it seemed to me that having had vaccinations at various times in my life, this was going to be a big build up followed by the actual event .... and then a feeling of anti-climax. Come the glorious day, I arrived at the hall fully expecting a queue, but there was none. After the initial interrogation (I only gave my name, rank and ref number), I was given a leaflet to read while waiting to be punctured, but as soon as I sat down, I was up again and heading to the booth.

While I was gas bagging about my last mass vaccination experience at 12 the nurse got on with the job, and there was a faint sensation in the arm which wasn't enough to distract me from my own verbosity. And then back into normal life, with a feeling of, well, anti-climax :)

It took about 24 for my arm to get sore and that lasted for about 24 hours. I was dosed with the Astra Zenica vaccine.

Appointments for both doses of Pfizer (9th January and 31st March, just within the twelve weeks) made by a 'phone call from my local GP surgery ("office", USA) at a centre a few miles from home. Very efficient on each occasion and no after effects.

I got mine very early, back in January. I work at a hospital so we were all pretty close to first up! In some ways though, I feel like I needed it less. I'm young and have a strong immune system; I probably would have survived had I gotten COVID-19.

No side effects here!
 
Hello from france ,

I am 69 and should receive my first dose this week or the next one...

My wife has the first with Pfizer, next in april... My dad of 98 years old (begin to work for french railways at 16 , retired at 56 ) received his two doses of Pfizer without problem at all...

In the hospital where I finshed my prefessional life, nurses and medics have been vaccined with AZ, about 15 % had some troubles but not really serious...

20 % of seniors residents died in the last 5 months... No one in the first part of 2020, for a capacity of 163 beds...

It really seems that the second wave is stronger than the first of 2020...

So take a great care , do not come back too quickly to a normal life !!!


We, trainz lovers, are not so numerous to risk to loose some of us...


Best regards, and very friendly, Marc
 
I'm 62 and British and had the AstraZeneca vaccine 4 weeks ago. I was told that I may have a sore arm but I didn't feel any ill effects at all. It has been reported that it can lead to blood clots and I do have an occasional odd sensation of a sort of pulse in my forehead but it may be something else. I had an epic 6 week of two waves flu in September 2019 but since then I have had no flu or cold symptoms at all.

Well, I finally got the shot yesterday. So far so good. We had a choice of vaccines so I opted for the Johnson & Johnson (Janssen) vaccine. One shot and I'm done.

I got my 2nd Pfizer shot 2 weeks ago. Neither shot gave me any ill effects save for a bit of soreness in the injection site.
 
Wife and I had the second jab (Astrazeneca vaccine) two weeks ago and touch wood still no after effects.

Cheers, evilcrow
 
2nd pfizer a week ago, as with the first hardly felt it, no extra aches and pains.
I live in the sticks and feel virtually bombproof. :)
 
Got final Pfizer shot Tuesday the 27th. My first Pfizer medication (never needed Viagra yet).

First shot last week, and like many, absolutely no problems and barely felt anything. Onwards and upwards.
