Re: Side effects?

Each time I have gotten the Pfizer vaccine it has had the same side effects, a sore arm for a day or two. (I hardly even consider that a side effect though.) Mostly sore to the touch, but for a few hours perhaps just sore. The side effects really are minimal for most people. I like having a little bit of that kind of reaction so I know it's working. You hardly feel the shot, so it's good to know they didn't miss, lol.
In September, when I got a flu shot, was the first time I ever had a bit more of a reaction to a vaccine. My temperature rose from the 97F something it usually is to 99.9F. It was only elevated for a few hours. I was really tired before the vaccine because I was up late and it might have been related to that.
Always worth getting the vaccines of course, regardless of any of the usually minor side effects, because the possible alternative is so much worse.
We really need more people to get the vaccines. |
