WandereR:
Yikes! Thanks for the heads up, I'm quite concerned especially for my parents. Hopefully the effects wear off quickly.
My husband and I got ours together today which was good because we can whine and laugh about our sore arms. I'm running a temp and tired, tummy is off, but doing okay. Good excuse to watch my drama! Some people I know had almost no reaction to the first shot. I've heard from friends who are frontline workers (older and younger than me) that the second shot made the arm red and sore. Some ran temps. Two others said almost exactly the same thing, "Worst 24 hour flu I ever had". Kind of like snowflakes (the good kind), few people had the same experience---a lot like Covid. When we were whining about our sore arms tonight I said we need to suck it up buttercup, people way older than us have gone through this. I'd rather go through this than be one of the people who ends up in the ICU or worse from Covid. We've known nearly 10 people who have died and several who had to go the hospital because of Covid. Feeling crummy for a few days is a good trade off---I hope. :) The more people who are vaccinated the less chance those evil little variants will make mutant babies and be harder to fight. I'm betting your parents will weather the vaccines, too.
