This vaccine was rushed, there are already problems with side effects, it is called the “practice” of medicine so practice on someone else. I have several medical issues and don’t see a reward greater than risk for me. To each his own.

Please state you sources for the “problems with side effects”.
Are you confusing the headaches, minor muscle pains and other typical and expected symptoms that a vaccine is working with contracting the life-threatening COVID virus?

Got both shots already. So Yes. Do it as soon as possible for you

I've asked this twice before and am still looking for a response from someone/anyone !

Query to those who have had
the shot and had the side
effects; which shot did you
get ? Are the side effects predominantly from the Pfizer or the Moderna vaccine, or are they roughly equal ?

Is this flu going to change like every other flu has so each year you need another different shot than last year? Does anyone know what side effects MAY BE involved with this vaccine?

We know what the side effects of getting Covid are, and those who get it and think they are safe have a rude awakening coming...the next variants that hit you harder.

The numbers of people who get it and have long terms effects is growing.

I just had the second Pfizer Wednesday, felt like I was coming down with a cold Thursday and Friday, not too bad now...I've been loading up on Zicam, Vitamins D, C, E, seems to be working.

I'm feeling like I can go fishing with people without risking dying.

Lynny and I just had our 2nd shot Tuesday. I got the chills and uncontrollable shakes just before going to bed. Took about 30 minutes to go away. Then the next day I felt like crap, just really tired and queasy. Feeling a lot better today. It didn’t hit Lynny until Wednesday morning and she got the shakes too and felt like the flu. Also her arm swoll up and turned red and hot. Just now starting to get better. We got the Moderna.

My wife and I had our second Pfizer shot two Sunday's ago and I had a little soreness at the shot area and it was gone the next day same as the first shot, my wife was really tired and temp of 100 the day after the second shot but was totally fine the next day. She's a small lady of 5ft and 98 lbs. 3 of my friends and thier wives all did fine with Pfizer. Don't know anyone who got Moderna. I'm 77 and wife is 76 and both of us are in fairly good health for our age. We'll keep wearing masks and stay away from people. This Sunday will be the 2 weeks for being 95% protected, hope they are right about effectiveness.

I forgot to mention that Lynny had a temp too of 101. We’re 68&64. Mask and 6’away or 6’ under. Your choice.

My wife and I got the first Moderna, going next Saturday for #2. After the first we might have felt a little tired, or maybe we were tired anyway. Nothing drastic maybe nothing at all.

I have had both or my COVID shots. No effects on first second caused a little soreness in my arm. They weee Moderna! Just Sayin ....RjS

Robert J Samples Loc: Round Rock, Texas

My wife and I had Moderna and all the boosters. Felt a little tired the next day watched Netflix for the day. Next day fine. Not counting a sore arm for a day or two a side effect.
The vaccination gives you a fighting chance of beating it. Had two friends who didn’t believe in the vaccination, didn’t get it and they both died of COVID. Not good.

What always gets me Mauwehu is that so many people ask if we or you should get this or that,,, I never ask somebody I don't know what I or my spouse should or shouldn't do,,advice fine,, direction never,,

I guess some people just want to hear what you have to say. My sister always asked everyone what they thought she should do and then she’d take the bad advice.

Yes, my wife and I will take the Covid-19 when offered. There may be mistakes or such, but I believe the U.S. pharmaceutical companies are reliable in the products they offer. The products offered are too profitable as they are.

Some companies have gotten too greedy, but on the whole, the industry is a world leader and spends big bucks for research to stay on top of new product development. I think they understand that trying to shortchange the public is a loser's game.

I spent 16 years in the industry, a salesman, manager, and sales trainer and there was always an eagle's eye on the entire process. This is my personal opinion. I am not suggesting anything you should do, or not do. That is up to you. Just Sayin...RJS
