COVID vaccinations! Have you gotten yours?

[mongers]

Son of fromtia went off and got his shot. He got the Johnson and Johnson, sought it out even, because that was less "hassle" than getting two shots of pfizer. Unbelievable.

He also graduated high school, by some miracle of guile and low animal cunning.

My entire household is vaccinated. fromtia, partner of fromtia, son of fromtia and brother of partner of fromtia (long story).

Mother of son of fromtia , with whom I have an entirely good relationship post marriage (been divorced 11 years now) has apparently gone a bit anti-vaxx , which is a surprise to me. A lover of science, a lifelong Democrat. My son says shes trying to fit in with her partner (a lovely man) and his family who are rather conservative. Interesting.

Interesting indeed, Fromtia.

I haven't noticed any side effects. But I do spend a lot of time in pools of water with only my eyes and nose above the surface, waiting for wildebeest.

I just got randomly selected for a jab next Tuesday. Pfizer.

I had the Pfizer, no real problems other than second dose made me an asshole.  Since I was already one, nobody noticed.

Yeah I barely noticed the jab. Donating blood is tougher and more involved than this.

Got my second AZ shot today.

Got my second AZ shot today.

Will you resume licking doorknobs immediately or will you wait 2 more weeks?

Got my second AZ shot today.

Second dose I had no side-effects. Not even a sore arm which has left me slightly panicked it's not working

Exactly the same here, no reactions; though I didn't panic, just confused by it.

Only side effect I've noticed from the Johnson is heartburn. Haven't had that since I became vegetarian.

The fact that rejecting the western tradition of medicine is now a "conservative" position blows my mind. I really have a hard time grappling with it.

I wonder if all those left wing looney Democrats who I used to get anti-vaxx propaganda from now love vaccines just because conservatives now hate them.

Do y'all not get seasonal flu shots? 

It's the same needle and the same amount of pain but for many this is clearly a brand new experience.

I do and generally I find the flu shots to be a far more unpleasant experience than the COVID vaccine so that may be part of it.

Still much nicer than back when I used to get the flu every year of course.

Never had it, it hasn't been recommended broadly here.

Only recommended and free for people over 65 here.
