Hey just a heads up the wife and I got our first shots on Thursday at Dillons in hutch. They don't care what county people are from and they are taking 65 and older. I spent 3 hours on Wednesday clicking on Dillons web site till they stared posting appointments .

They don’t care what country people are from? What does that mean?

Pretty sure that says county. But if they don’t care about county, not sure how they would enforce country either.

Oh yeah! That makes more sense.

I got my second vaccine shot on Wednesday afternoon. Felt fine the rest of the day. Woke up feeling tired with a “head cold” so decided to work from home. About 2:30 I started to get chills and it got bad fast. I was shaking, my hands turned blue and I was in my full outdoor attire and under four blankets. Took some Tylenol and went to sleep. Woke up at 5:30 and fever was gone. Now my body aches from the 2+ hours of intense shivering.

These symptoms are common, but not the majority. Most people experience no symptoms, and headache/mild fatigue is generally what occurs.

Got my 2nd shot yesterday. Woke up last night with somewhat of a fever. Some aching this morning. Hope this is the worst of it.

Didn’t you recently have a bout with covid? I thought you couldn’t be administered the vaccine until 90 days after testing negative. Or am I misremembering?

I did, had covid in Dec, which they noted it on my paperwork. I had a slight fever and aches for maybe 6 hours otherwise I fell fine. My healthcare provider conducted the test and the shots. They contacted me to get the shot, I did not go looking for it. I read the 90 day criteria after I got the 1st shot. Not sure why they did not sent me home before the first one.

It shouldn’t hurt you I would guess. Probably not needed right now, but you should get the same immune response as anyone else.

It's generally believed that the more severe your experience with Das Alien, the more robust your immunity. It's also believed that the vaccine gives you protection along the lines of a severe experience. I know healthcare workers who've had serious bouts jump at the chance of a vaccine, but it was beyond 90 days. I would say take the ****er, every day and twice on Sunday if available.

An interesting anecdote: A group (40's and 50's) involved in a super-spreader event, had a varying level of sickness (but most were quite ill for a time). All donated plasma, but only the one person who was the sickest was allowed to donate the longest, as the others had undetectable antibodies after several months. This speaks nothing about ultimate immunity and/or T-Cell readiness, it is just an interesting anecdote, and perhaps instructive.

A contradiction ^^^


A lesser man would bump the mockery you generously offered me about gnarly Covid vaccine experiences. I am not that man. And it's more common than you think. A sore-ass shoulder with a headache and mild fatigue should be expected at the minimum.

I would leave you with: go in peace my son; rejoice in the guardian angels you now have flowing through your veins.

P.S. Good thing you didn't catch the real McCoy with your hypersensitive immune system eh? ;)

What it’s like to die from Covid-19

“I wouldn’t wish it on my worst enemy”: Doctors describe what their sickest coronavirus patients endure.

“Most of what I’m seeing is behind closed curtains, and the general public isn’t seeing this side of it,” says Todd Rice, a critical care and pulmonology specialist at Vanderbilt University Medical Center. Even “families are only seeing a little bit of it,” he says. As a result, most of us have been “protected and sheltered from seeing the worst of this disease.”

So what have these nearly 500,000 people endured as the infection took over and their bodies failed? The terrible details have been strikingly absent from most of our personal and national discussions about the virus. But if we have been thus far (perhaps somewhat willfully) blind to the excruciating ways Covid-19 takes lives, this milestone is an opportunity to open our eyes.

Four physicians, who collectively have cared for more than 100 dying Covid-19 patients over the past 11 months,shared withVox what their patients have gone through physically and mentally as the virus killed them. Their experiences reveal the isolating and invasive realities of what it is typically like for someone to die from Covid-19.

Lungs “full of bees” and a “sense of impending doom”

The torture of Covid-19 can begin long before someone is sick enough to be admitted to a hospital intensive care unit.....

A gruesome account from doctors on the inside. For any readers of this fine forum who are over 65 and overweight, think twice before delaying vaccination. And for those of you who know someone in this demographic who are hesitant, maybe share this with them.

I scare because I care.

No, you’re right. I read that after I typed it. The first part is true. The second part is true of those that do experience symptoms. Thanks for allowing me to clarify.

And yes, I would gladly take three hours of that horrible fever than 3 days.

Or three weeks... (you'll recall Cuomo's endless nights of fevers and chipping teeth)

Shocked that you would describe the fever as "horrible". If you aren't a wimp, then I would say your reaction to the vaccine was definitely in the minority. We know ScRatChY is a wimp, so I can't reliably compare his experience to yours.
