Did the Covid shot make you cranky?

It was a hassle in MI, until recently anyway. Checked our local state health dept. web page which asked a few questions. They emailed me the next day with a link to make an appointment which had choices of dates and times, and I made one asap. I got one for a few days later. I walked in for it and they asked one question, "do you have an appointment?" Nothing else.

I have a friend that lives in MI, and he was having quite a hard time trying to find an appointment. He's not the most computer savvy guy, but still, it should have been a quick click on a state-run website and off you go. Instead, it was a confusing maze of dead ends for him. He finally got into a mass vaccination event at his employer in Indiana.

I suggest anyone in Indiana check out this site and schedule yourself an appointment. It works really well...

After the first Pfizer I felt like I was hit by the flu on the third day. No ill effects now after 4 days from shot #2.

Registering with the County HD and my pharmacy got me nowhere. What I learned was to try everybody you've heard of. IMO if enough of us who will vax can get to 'herd immunity' we might save the anti-vax folks. Gotta see a big picture and look after everybody.

I also called a privately operated hospital and got a message "leave your name and number, and we will call you back to make an vac appointment". I did leave my info and guess what, every time they called I wasn't there. I do not live with a cell phone in my pocket... Or next to our land-line phone. The western UP health department on-line system of making an appointment was by far the best! But if your friend has his phone in his pocket, then these "we will call you" systems might work. So I was trying to get in touch with three different locations to make an appointment. I of course have no idea hows its being done elsewhere in MI.

5 days out from the first Phizer shot for me and no issues. The process was quick and painleas and the nurses were wonderful. Hopefully they will be there again when I go back for #2 in a couple weeks.

It’s the second day after my second Pfizer shot, I don’t feel bad, but don’t feel good either, like a mild case of the flu. It took about 24 hours before it hit me. I have hay fever also so it’s always hard to tell what’s bothering me.

I had first Pfizer shot last week. My employer set it up at work. They have been pushing it hard, always followed up with “your choice will be respected” if you don’t want it.

The day after the shot I felt like a sack of smashed @ss. Muscles and joints hurt and I was physically agitated. I ended up taking sick leave half the day. Napped a few hours then got up and went fishing. Caught the biggest bass of my life.

Wife had her first Moderna shot yesterday morning.
She Spent the rest of the day mowing and painting the house. She was pulling a bag of trash out of the truck last night and said her arm hurt from the shot.

I believe women are just plain stronger than men —- mentally. They plow thru a lot of stuff that would make a man sit down.

My wife and I both received the Pfizer vaccine, second dose was over two weeks ago. We both had almost no side effects only minor injection site soreness. We live in Indiana and think the state has done well in its vaccine effort. Our children have all gotten at least the first dose (youngest is 17).
My personal opinion is that our lives can start to return to somewhat normal now that all the people I love are soon to be fully vaccinated.
