Columnist Writes About Throwing Away Her Vaccine Shot
In the tradition of “Hamilton”-related columns, my latest references one of my favorite songs from the musical. I talk about having to skip a vaccine appointment in order to stay safe from COVID.
Fortunately, I was able to get my first shot a few days later. It went super well!
Did you experience any setbacks regarding getting the vaccine?

Just got my second a couple hours ago. No issues at all.

On my way to get 2nd next Wednesday. No problems with 1st.

Mass vaccination sites confuse me. Thankfully I’m a small town girl. Glad it worked out. Good luck with the second. I forget did you mention if you got Phizer or Moderna?

Moderna!

My 2nd dose of Pfizer was delayed because I felt like I was coming down with something on the day I was originally scheduled for, but it was an easy process to reschedule it and I took it this past Saturday. It hurt some, the first one didn’t, and my arm was sore after 5 or 6 hours. But the next day, about 20 hours after the shot, the side effects hit me hard. One of the worst headaches I have ever experienced, and a fever of 101.7. Nauseous, and random pain through the rest of that day and night, then about 28 hours after the side effects started, they subsided and I was exhausted from the ordeal. I did not expect that at all, and in my mind I was secretly making fun of all those people complaining about 2nd shot side effects! Karma I guess!

Oh wow! So sorry to hear that. It seems like it hits everyone differently!
