Let's talk vaccines!

[TheSillyPuppy]

I just came back from receiving my second dose of Pfizer!

My body was definitely still tensed up from a work situation that happened this morning because I felt the needle pinch me pretty hard this time.

My arm is already a bit sore around the injection site; I'll update this post if/when I experience some additional side effects.

yeah well telling me "hurr durr covid won't wait" isn't going to make the process go any faster, amigo, and i know waiting longer means i could catch covid, telling me that does nothing to either help my worries OR actually get the vaccine faster, but thanks ig?

What do you think will help your worries? What can anyone actually do for you at this stage? I've seen several of us try to advise, only to be shot down (often in quite condescending ways - "hurr durr" for example). If it's just that you want us all to say "Yeah you'll be fine if you don't get the vaccine, just stay in that blanket fort you mentioned, that's a great idea", then I don't think that's going to happen, but help us out here mate.

I am getting my second covid vaccine tomorrow! Fingers crossed I get Pfizer as I’m still not super jazzed about the idea of mixing vaccines.

Good luck! If you want to guarantee getting a second dose of Pfizer, you can ask someone from Vaxx Hunters Canada to help look for an appointment/walk-in in the 2nd-dose-booking-help-on channel in Discord. If you have further questions, feel free to send me a PM.

Was finally allowed to register for my first dose a few days ago! Ireland's been quite slow rolling out the vaccine compared to our neighbours, so registration has been staggered by age group based on how many doses are available. The only people in my age group who have been able to get vaccinated before now are healthcare workers or people with medical issues. Hopefully that'll change soon though, I can't wait to get jabbed up lol

I got Janssen two weeks ago so I'm fully vaccinated now. In about a week I'll get official benefits from being vaccinated.

Was finally contacted with an appointment for my first Pfizer dose today!!! Sooooooo excited (fear of needles aside lol)

 

[Aniko]

Got the second dose today! And a box of masks as freebie (we are still wearing masks here).

received my second dose of moderna last week on wednesday!

the doctor who administered it was very nice, and the shot itself was once again painless, but i was definitely a bit nervous as i knew that despite having experienced very little side effects with the first dose, the second dose is known to hit a bit more harshly. but thankfully, i was once again completely fine! experienced a sore arm and some drowsiness, but otherwise i was okay.

everyone in my household has now received their second dose and is 100% vaccinated!

I worry if there are long term affects, specifically fertility.

 

[Corrie]

I am officially fully vaccinated! Woohoo!!
This is my second day after getting the second dose of Pfizer and I feel fine, just your typical sore arm. I'm also sleepy but I'm not sure if that's the vaccine talking or just because my sleeping schedule sucks since I'm basically always sleepy lol.

Respectfully,
There is no scientific evidence that the Covid vaccine impacts fertility negatively. There’s tremendous evidence that the Covid illness places a person at great risk of long-term health affects, one of which is death. Get the shot. If not for yourself, do it for somebody you love.

I've been vaccinated for a while now, but it never sat right with me that I was deemed essential and was out working in/around the hotspots almost 16 hours daily, but somehow wasn't 'that essential' when the shots began to be distributed and was pretty much one of the last waves to get it. Always left a sour taste in my mouth.

I just got home from getting my second vaccination! I got another dose of Pfizer which, while I know that Moderna & Pfizer aren't different medically speaking (thank you @Chris for chatting with me about them!) it still made me happy knowing my vaccines matched. So far I'm feeling okay but it hasn't even been an hour yet. Fingers crossed that the side effects aren't too bad Regardless though, I'm so happy and thankful that I was able to get vaccinated

Dying from COVID reduces your fertility. There are also many potential partners who don't want to risk their health being with an unvaccinated person, which also lowers your likelihood of having children.

Wait, are you telling me people die if they are killed!?
