The ‘I’ve Got The COVID Shot Club’!

Yep. We'll see. I didn't have any reaction to the first, not even a sore arm. So we shall see.

I'm not really scared about the symptoms, but I am stressing about the needle. I'm usually terrified of needles, and the first one hurt so bad, so it makes me even more scared for the second.

ooh me me! i have a story.

so i went with my friend because i am deathly afraid of needles. we overheard someone talking about what they like to do when getting a shot. my nurse said “what do you like to do?” and my friend said “freak out” and we all laughed bc it was true. then i was like “maybe if we talk about something it would get my mind off of it.” the nurse said “ok well what if we talk about how strong you are” and i was like “wth is she taking about” then i looked down and i already had my bandaid on! she was super sweet and when my friend and i walked away she laughed and said “aww you’re so strong!”

When I was seven, I kicked a nurse in the face when she was trying to give me my flu shot.

Got my second shot the day before yesterday and other than a sore arm, no other side effects, thanks Pfizer....

It’s brings me much joy to see that 90 people have had their shots in comparison to the other options on the poll.

We gotta get to 100! Come on peeps roll up those sleeves and get vaccinated!

I'm genuinely baffled when people post the emoji on posts like LIttleBrownie's above. Why does it make you sad that others are getting the vaccine? For those of you who choose, for your own reasons, to remain unvaccinated, it is *in your interest* that as many people as possible go ahead with being immunized and increase the speed and chances for widespread immunity in the population.

Do you not understand that? You should be the loudest cheerleaders for posts that promote getting the vaccine, while quietly going about your non-vaccinated ways in the background. There is no downside, for you, in others getting vaccinated - only upside!

Not to tell anyone what they should do; other than, it defies logic so I'd like to understand the sad reaction.

Feeling pretty sick. I fell asleep less than 12 hours after getting up for the vaccine appointment and woke up feeling particularly crappy. At least it probably isn't as bad as it would have been had I been infected by the actual virus.

Sorry to hear that. Have you tried taking a Tylenol or ibuprofen? (I am not a doctor, please don't take this as medical advice, lol.) Others on here have said it helped.

Try to rest and drink lots of fluids.
