    Im starting  to think this country  is talking shit to us. I never was anti vaxxer but i can now see past the utter  bullshit  we are being fed. We are meant to be ok with oh now no under 40s. After our kids have one dose. Im fucking livid and this clown rich  boy borris can go fuck himself  fast.

    "Moderno" sounds like the race car of vaccines ;)

    Will certainly be fine within a couple of days, even if you have some side effects; it's all worth it.

    It looks like your young adult children will receive the same AZ second dose, irrespective of age in your country. Dr. B. Henry said this week that adverse reactions are more common in the first dose, so I hope that eases your mind, Robbie.

    Ive spoken at length with my son who also suffers with health anxiety  like daddy. 
    He cancelled  and i agree his second dose. Atm the risk of covid is very low in uk and he has 75% from 1st dose. So no point . Let them work it all out and then we can see. Im pretty much done with all of this ,well everything really.

    After my 2nd dose of Pfizer on Wednesday, I had a sore arm and body aches yesterday. Probably started really feeling crappy about 24 hours later. Felt very much like the first day I became symptomatic with Covid. Today, fine as usual with very mild arm soreness yet.
    It's a hopeless situation...

    We had twin experiences. I also got vaxxed Wednesday, felt okay most of that day, a little under the weather when I woke up Thursday and it got worse as the day went on until I had a wicked headache and nausea. I had a nap late afternoon and an early bedtime and feel just fine today.

    My understanding about taking medicine for side effects: Don't "pre-game" - it's not helpful to take ibuprofen/tylenol before your shot and could inhibit your production of antibodies. But it's fine to take either after your shot to alleviate side effects.

    I've had both Moderna vaccinations and got them with much hesitation.  I figured it was better to do it than to face the flack I would get from strong pro-vaccination people.  I'm not anti-vacc, but I am skeptical, especially regarding the COVID vaccinations. 
    Why?  A few reasons.  One, I've never had such a harsh reaction to a vaccination.  Two, a lot of people have said the same.  Three, they rushed these out.  Four, there's been far more politicizing of the vaccination than any I've ever seem.  Five, the vaccination are not FDA approved.  Six, there is no clear message about what the long term affects could be.  One doc told me that some of the vaccinations start a sort of feedback loop that can't be turned off.  I wish I were more savvy about explaining that, but it sounds bad.
    But remember, I did get them and I am not saying anyone should not get them.  What I am saying is we would all do well to be more skeptical and not believe things we don't know more about.  That's just never a good idea.

    P.S.  Best wishes to you and yours, Rob.  I hope none of you is having severe reactions to the injections.

    I heard that too, but didn't know if I should avoid after my shot so I just powered through yesterday and dealt with the aches and pains. Glad it was gone when I woke up.

    Ha! Yeah, people were asking me in the morning how I was doing and I was like, nothing much right now. And then all of a sudden it just came on. Glad I didn't get a headache. I was worried that would be part of it.

    The evidence is fairly modest and not related specifically to covid vaccinations, but there is a small body of data suggesting that taking antiinflammatories in particular prior to immunization can reduce the production of antibodies. There aren't any studies on covid vaccination that I'm aware of.

    Taking acetaminophen or ibuprofen afterwards, if you get side effects, is thought to be okay but again little to no evidence on this. I totally avoided anything after my first dose but that was easier since I had it on a Friday and had the weekend off. Got the second dose on a Wednesday and had to work the rest of the week, so I eventually caved and took acetaminophen on Thursday afternoon so that I could finish my work day.

    In Canada, we are advised to weigh the risk of AZ and waiting for mRNA vaccine. If counts are low in the area, waiting is preferable, said one official (Dr. Tam) recently.

    We are also waiting the results of Europe's guineapig's mix n match trials.
    The counts were low here…plus I’m off work due to lockdown and waited for the Pfizer which I got today…

    As far as rushing the vaccines, scientists have been studying similar viruses for years (SARS and MERS); so there was a lot of scientific data behind the vaccinations already.  COVID is also known scientifically as SARs-Cov-2.  I understand the hesitation about the vaccines but the scientist say it will protect you from becoming seriously ill if you are infected with COVID.  That to me was enough to make my vaccine decision.

    Bringing down a fever with meds is not a good idea in general. Your  body raises its temp to fight.  That's  good.
    If you lower it then it is not able to do its job correctly.  Allow  moderate fever to burn.

    Was super excited when AZ opened up to over 40 here in Ontario and since I work in a grocery store with the public I figured I'd listen to the experts and take the 1st shot offered to me. Got 1st shot April 26 and had a few side effects but nothing major, all clear and 2nd shot booked for August. Fast forward to today where it's announced that Ontario is pausing AZ for 1st shot and once again telling people that Pfizer/ Moderna is better choice if you can wait.  Also not sure if they'll have AZ for 2nd shot so might be a guinea pig for mixing vaccines. At least there are almost 2 million other Canadians in this predicament. Best day ever.
