    Hmm, interesting. I'm quite acutely aware of my health triggers so if there's weird side effects of this one I should know.

    It's been about 10 hours since the jab now and I can feel a slightly tenseness in the injection spot but so far that's it. Guess we'll see in the morning though. Hope I'm ok as it's my birthday celebrations tomorrow!

    Just got the Pfizer 1st dose this morning. Go back 6/5 for the second one. So far my arm hurts and I'm just really fatigued

    The headaches I’ve been having could (most likely) have nothing whatsoever to do with the vaccine tbh, it’s something to look out for tho I suppose.

    You will 99% be fine I reckon. And happy birthday for tomorrow my man.

    Parrrrrtay!!! Oh man, I feel old...

    But yeah, headaches could be from anything. You should probably get yourself checked out by a doctor though if they continue. No one should have continual headaches!

    Got my first shot, so far I haven't mutated but maybe that's cause I didn't take the JnJ shot.

    That’s actually not because of supply, although yes there are supply issues here as well.

    The Canadian government is actually doing an experiment by basically trying to do herd immunity with people who have one dose. Also, waiting times between shots is supposed to increase immunity. There’s some science to support this.

    From what I'm gathering, Pfizer is given a quicker turnaround between first and second dose. AstraZeneca so far has been given the longer waiting period which is annoying personally but is what it is.

    I would like to get vaccinated as soon as possible as i have few very close friends which are struggling with the covid consequences now. My doctor doesn't give me a decent answer about the vaccine and when it is possible for me to do it. I was diagnosed with MS two years ago and for the few months take tecfidera on daily basis. I guess they not sure what side effects will vaccine have on patients like me so they just keep on on the "waiting list"

    Ah man that's s---. Chin up, you'll get something soon. One of my best friends has very serious MS and he has had both shots. Think he had Phizer.
