COVID vaccinations! Have you gotten yours?

[crazy canuck]

I wonder if the people who get such side effects after their first dose have already been exposed to the virus.  My understanding is that the reason it's usually the second dose that knocks people down is that the first dose encounters a body that hasn't yet learned to repel the virus.

Perhaps, but if I had COVID before, I probably would not be alive to get the vaccine.

Yes, I would say definitely.

Thanks for being an ass about it.

My apologies. Your posts in the fitness thread suggested otherwise.

Thanks guys from posting about your jabs, reminded me to check up if I was eligible yet for my 2nd dose; turns out I am, eight weeks now, got the last appointment at my favoured site and it's tomorrow.

I accept your apology.  If you read a bit more in that thread, you will see that the reason I began exercising so much is to clear out my lungs so that my lung disease does not kill me.  The reason for this is that antibiotics were beginning to become less effective and so I had to find a way to avoid infections from occurring.   That seemed to work and it has been three years now since my last infection.  So while my fitness level is much better than the Orange Man, his lungs are definitely better than mine.

Just about everyone over 50 and those with underlying conditions here in Iceland has been jabbed at least once. Next week we'll start random vaccinations in the cohorts that are left.

You can say helots. We're all grown-ups here.

2nd shot today of pfizer. Moved on quickly to recreational drugs, the world's hobby.

I feel much less tired than before, ever since I've been vaccinated (closing on two weeks).  Might be a coincidence, or I did have covid when I thought it was the flu back in 2020, before it officially started spreading here.

I hope it was high quality recreational drugs from the world renowned Canopy Growth family of products.

My understanding is that the high risk conditions don't make it more likely to have a severe case, it just makes severe cases much less survivable. My Dad has a degenerative lung condition-- he's down to about 40%-- and he pulled through with a couple days in the hospital for observation.

You know, I'm not sure.  The packaging doesn't have any company info.

So I signed up for the voluntary AZ or J&J jab, as I would be looking at at least 3 months wait before I'd get a last jab with an mRNA (assuming Curevac is approved and meets delivery ). Should get a consultation soon and hopefully be offered a Janssen shot shortly after.
