    Received the Pfizer vaccine this morning.  The shot itself was no more painful than a routine flu vaccine.  Expecting the usual arm pain in the next 72 hours but feeling good early on.

    I was told anytime between 17-28 days is an acceptable timeframe to return with 21 days bring ideal

    I wonder how much vaccine will be wasted by people who don't go back for dose 2. I remember getting the hepatitis vaccine a long time ago and never went back for my second dose. It was so long ago, I don't remember why.  Does anyone know if there's a system to monitor compliance? It would help if all the celebrities film their second dose in addition to the first, to reinforce the importance of that.

    Viruses always mutate, and this one has had multiple mutations since it emerged in humans. If mutations occur that make the vaccines less effective then the vaccines will be tweaked, like we already do with the flu vaccine.

    yeah, the current major mutation that happened in britain is the most "popular" strain going round the globe right now, as far as I've read.

    Honestly, common sense (and my doctor?) would dictate the second dose, certainly not someone famous. Celebrities are not the bastions of my behaviors, my beliefs, etc. The day they are, shoot me!

    And I’m sure as hell not going to go through a first vaccine without the second. Did the same with the shingles vax, otherwise the whole thing is pointless.

    I think celebrities should stay out of it. They just piss people off by filming themselves from their 10,000 square foot house with multiple swimming pools and a helicopter pad in the background saying to "just stay home, its not that hard," while a limo drives up and delivers 5-star catered food.
    But you have a point, I never thought about that. Maybe since the vaccine is free, there should be a tax penalty or fine for not following through with it equal to the cost and administration of the vaccine for keeping someone else from getting it.

    Yeah, same here.  Why only go half way?!

    I also did the Shingrix vax a while back.  Man oh man, that shingles vax kicked my ass for about 24 hours!  Really felt like hell.  But I've known people who had Shingles and I'd trade one day of feeling shitty to avoid shingles any day!

    While in the Navy, I underwent overseas screening to be eligible to be stationed on an island in the Bering Sea. Part of it was a Typhoid vaccination. I spent about a day in my bunk feeling like I had the worst cold I had ever had. My thought was if that is what the vaccine did, I sure as heck didn't want to get the actual disease.

    The hospital memo states that we should expect to feel pretty bad the first 24-48 hours after the second dose, but this is completely expected and really a good thing on a scientific level.  They just recommended we plan our schedules accordingly.

    I don't think what what dreams is suggesting is a bad idea. no, most of US don't follow what celebrities do, but a pretty significant section of the globe actually does. the more people with massive platforms show that they are getting it, that it's trust worthy, the better. politicians, famous scholars, athletes, musicians; all of em. 

    and especially: REPUBLICANS

    although, people will still come up with "yeah, i bet they just got an injection of saline", but I think it would still be a net positive.

    That means one would have to trust most of those people. I do not. Not when it comes to my own life decisions - which this is.

    Ugh, me too. And my last flu shot as well; I was hit particularly hard. But yeah, bad as I anticipate the reactions may be, I’m willing to go that route.

    Small price to pay, in my mind.
