My first Pfiser vaccine on 4-13. I had zero side effects until the evening of 4-14. Wow was I tired and achy. I went to bed right away and was urinating nearly every hour all night. My thoughts not again the way I felt.
Today doing nothing.

Just got my first dose of Pfizer! I have to admit that it pinched! I don't know what the nurse did but it felt like a shock down my arm. Ouch! Shhhh! That was the chip sliding in; you weren't supposed to notice. And to answer another question, yes, I'd get vaccinated for the trip. I'd require it of her. Your money, your trip, your rules. Tell her the travel agent must have her vaccination card on record.

I am not sure how I feel about this... The other day, I told my sister in no uncertain terms that we did not want to waste the $$$$$$ we are spending taking her to Fiji with us unless she is vaccinated. This is one risk we can ameliorate and if she would produce a positive test, we’d have to leave her here and would be out the additional money we needed to pay for the larger villa we are renting. She understood. So I was lurking on her Twitter account and she says this: Real Life Question: if you were adamant about not getting the vaccine and you were offered a 2 week all expenses paid, FIRST CLASS, trip to Fiji but you had to take the vaccine, would you?She has no responses to this, so she retweeted herself. Still no responses. If this trip goes off and Fiji opens to non nationals, we have to make our final decision in July and pay the remaining balance (trip is in Sept). I am wondering if I should ask for verification she has been vaccinated by then? I have a Plan B in mind, and PADI is ok with us shifting our reservations to a country that is open now. I believe that country does have a vaccination requirement, or being vaccinated eliminates the need to quarantine. I got the vaccine even without that incentive. The incentive not to be hospitalized, die, or have life long complications for myself and others I come in contact with was incentive enough for me. I know people who have permanent lung damage and someone who lost a leg due to blood clots from COVID - just because you don't die doesn't mean you are always unscathed. I would be willing to take your sister's place if needed. Already vaccinated with Moderna! Although I would need to get some of the other vaccines that are recommended for travel to Fiji, so let me know early: Yes, some vaccines are recommended or required for Fiji. The CDC and WHO recommend the following vaccinations for Fiji: hepatitis A, hepatitis B, typhoid, yellow fever, rabies, meningitis, polio, measles, mumps and rubella (MMR), Tdap (tetanus, diphtheria and pertussis), chickenpox, shingles, pneumonia and influenza. (on the site follows some details on when each may apply). You are quoting to the choir here. Of those vaccines, I suspect some are for the less developed areas.

I knew there was a rabies series for humans. I see it's less painful than it used to be.
It's a free trip to Fiji. Get the vaccine or don't go.

You can get a prophylactic vaccine, or the rabies series after exposure. Those who have to get the rabies vaccine are people who would normally be exposed through their occupations involving wildlife.

Get the vaccine to help humanity and accept the free trip with grace and humility . Honestly, for a free trip with you, I would have taken my Moderna shots in my hoo-haa. I'm not sure it would have hurt less than it does now (I had the second one yesterday and I feel achy, cold and miserable.)

Seems the host should have gotten vaccinated. COVID-19 Deniers Event Leaves Host Dead, 12 InfectedA leading Norwegian conspiracy theorist who denied coronavirus was a dangerous disease has died from the virus after hosting two events at his property. Hans Gaarder, 60, was found to have tested positive for COVID-19 after he died from the virus on April 6, just days after he hosted an illegal gathering in Gran municipality, around 40 miles north of the Norwegian capital Oslo. Gran municipal chief physician Are Løken said the preliminary autopsy report confirmed his death was due to having the deadly virus. Local newspaper Hadeland reported that at least 12 people had been infected with the virus after they attended the illegal gatherings. Events were banned in the municipality from March 16 in a bid to drive down cases of the disease, which has killed 688 people in Norway since the pandemic began last year. Police are now attempting to learn how many people attended the two events at Gaarder's barn on March 26 and 27. In a statement on the Gran Municipality website, a spokesperson confirmed a man in his 60s had died. Article here: link

I don't know why Trump's followers are anti-vaccine when he got one too. Whenever someone I know is a Trump supporter give me the lecture about how there's no way they'll ever get that shot, I say "If Trump says we should get one, that's good enough for me". They usually have no comeback to that.
that's hilarious!

I'm feeling pretty crappy today - but I had a late meeting last night (done after 7) then had to work on RI intensively till 2 am, skipping dinner cuz no time. Meeting at 8:30 this am for day job. of the 5 hours I spent in bed, I didn't sleep much of the time. I was on super stress adrenaline to finish the RI project, and could wind down. Or maybe insomnia is a side affect?
So - not sure why I feel crappy, but looking forward to tv, bath, and beddie bye.
Will see how I feel tomorrow. Did have a slight headache for a bit this am, arm is archy for sure....and super glad of it!! I relaly worry about the temp requirement for pfizer and moderna, so side effects show it was still good.

I was vaccinated for rabies in 2014 after an interaction with a bat - yikes! It was a series of 7 shots. I had to have 4 the first time (one in each arm and one in each leg), then one a week for the following 3 weeks. Shockingly, I had no side effects. The people at the emergency care had me convinced that I would...

There's a Travel and Immunization Clinic near me that I visit whenever I'm going someplace that requires special precautions. As I was entering before my trip to India, a family with 3 little boys was leaving. The receptionist told me that they'd been vaccinated against rabies because the family was going to Africa. (Probably a HIPAA violation. ) I was supposed to have a yellow fever shot for Bolivia but the supply is always low and a doc told me that I could get an exemption since I was over 65 (more severe side effects) and wouldn't be in areas that were high-risk, anyway. And, back to the OT- wow. I'm with Nancy. Does your sister have any idea how generous that offer is?

Yeah.....I’m going to be asking for proof before we make the final payment. Just an FYI: there's apparently brisk business in sales of fake CDC Covid immunization cards, for the huge market of people who don't want to get vaxxed but do want to go places that require the vax. Might want to actually see her get the shot!

If she tries cheating, that will be the end of ever helping her again, and it will severely damage what’s left of our relationship. She doesn’t have a lot of people left.

We are going to be on the hunt for yellow fever vaccines for Africa later this year (if it goes off). Apparently, it provides lifetime immunity and will be necessary for our WC too. I told her what the final deposit was going to be in July, which is wholly the change we made for her and that does not include air. This trip was fully paid for when we had to punt in May 2020. She knows it’s a chance of a lifetime. This is what is making it hard for her.....is a trip like this worth tossing her beliefs in all these conspiracy theorists out there?

Pfizer #2 is in my arm. I woke up today a little congested and slightly nauseous, so this should be fun. I won't know if I'm having side effects, or just a continuation of what I felt this morning.

I had my 2nd Pfizer shot yesterday, and except for the arm being a bit sore, I feel fairly normal. In fact, my arm was more sore & stiff after the first shot. I actually watched the nurse fill my syringe, and she put a LOT of fluid into it, so I thought I'd be feeling worse.

Got my Moderna #2 on Thursday. Had a fever of 99.5 (my normal temp is 97.7), body aches, and fatigue yesterday. Today, a migraine; but that may or may not be related since I've always had migraines.
