Did the Covid shot make you cranky?

[Thomas]

First shot swore arm not sure what the second shot will bring.

Sounds like me and driving in roundabouts.

Wife and I got the J&J yesterday. Today we both feel like we have the flu and bad headaches.

 

[RalphVa]

I had my first dose last week and noticed I was more irritable than usual for a day or two. Did anyone else have that experience?

Slightly sore shoulder from the 1st shot and no problem from 2nd: Pfizer.

 

[BravoXray]

I have gotten both of my Pfizer shots, last one a month ago, no ill effects whatsoever.

I am firmly on the vaccine band wagon, only because I'm smart enough to read a little history of pandemics.

This ain't rocket science.

Moderna, 1st shot I just had a sore arm, 2nd shot I had a sore arm and felt like **** the entire next day, sore joints, tired and a low grade headache.

Talk about being cranky, I heard today the US is suspending giving the J&J vaccine due to potential issues.

Not reassuring.

Luckily, I got another brand.

Now, you've got me thinking. I've just been following the crowd and taking shots. Where can I read about the vaccine not meeting the criteria for a vaccine?

You can't. Why? Because it's a vaccine.

By the way, it's not the vaccine that makes me cranky....

 

[Doofy]

I firmly believe in the efficacy of vaccines. It may take time to fine tune the formulas but I have faith that they will and that they work. I have been receiving vaccines (immunizations) for 70 years with no ill effects and have never suffered from any of the diseases they were designed to prevent.

Mee too! Nothing at all after my AstraZeneca shot March 20. Hope it wasn't a blank! (BTW, here in Canada it seems that all the provinces are now adopting a delayed second shot programme, whereby you have to wait up to 4 months for your second one. So now there is speculation that you are even better protected by waiting for the second shot, and even that AstraZeneca provides better protection than Pfizer or Moderna with the delayed second shot. We'll see. The important thing is that, despite purported differences in "effectiveness", not a single Canadian has ever died who has been vaccinated.)

I don't doubt that delaying the second shot may actually provide better protection.
I do think the reason is questionable.
The delay offers greater availability of vaccine, for others to get their first shots.

Got my 1st shot (Moderna) a week ago and had significant flu symptoms. Not as bad as Covid, but I was knocked out for a couple of days. My wife had no symptoms.

My second shot is on May 1st so no Cinco de Mayo drinking for me

Thanks to all for getting there vaccinations.

Something that has not been mentioned, those who don't get it are incubating new covid varieties for us to fight. The infected people might even know they're ill.
