I had my first covid shot Thursday, April 22, had my second and final shot Monday May 10th. (Pfizer)

While the process went quicker this time (my appointment was at 8:30am, just after opening), this shot put me on my ass. I felt fine the day of the shot, but the next day (today) I just slept for a good part of the day: chills, headache etc.

That’s why I took the day after the shot off, just in case there were issues.

Feeling better already (it’s about 3pm), and by tomorrow I expect everything to be back to normal.

Small price to pay.

Update 5/14/2021: Yep, it kicked me in the ass. Got vaccine Monday, all was good. Tuesday I had flu-like symptoms (aches, chills, fatigue), and I tried to sleep it off. Couple of nights of night sweats – nothing worse – and I’m fully healed. And on the road to fully vaccinated (5/24).

Again, no issues – felt crappy for a spell (which means the vaccine is working), but shortly I will be a shield for myself and others against something that has killed 550k+ in the US alone.

Night sweats? Beats dying. Beats passing this on to others….

Be a Man (or woman) – get vaccinated, dammit!
