First Covid-19 shot

I (57 years old) got my first Pfizer shot Monday a week ago. My wife (60) got her first Moderna shot today. I work in a hospital so we're able to get it.

To be honest, I was really against it in the beginning. We currently have 68 Covid inpatients in a 350 bed hospital. From walking through the Covid units I would say 95% are over 70 years old.

I changed my mind after standing in front of my crew every day during our meeting recommending they register for their shots.

This past Monday the hospital started vaccinations for 65 and older, and first responders. They converted a parking deck into a nice area to do shots that keeps people from going into the main hospital. Monday they did 200 shots, by Wednesday they were doing 400 and today they were close to 500.

I had a sore arm and a headache for a day. My wife has a very sore arm and is tired. We'll see how she is tomorrow morning.

Hopefully its not some weird mind control potion.


I wish we could get it! Visited my Doc last week and he asked if I would, my answer was yes! This still scares me.

We are both over 57. I have a tech that just was released from the hospital today and only 40, he was in the ICU for two weeks he is in a rehab facility and still is very poor and need O2 regularly with pneumonia and fell and busted his eye socket! His mother passed in ICU at the hospital.

Doc told me the shot was easy then a day later for three days he had very bad soreness at the injection site.

I will take that to avoid worse issues!
