Glad to see you are on the mend. ...

I've heard of a few people with GI issues but not nearly as common as the fever, aches etc. Glad you're feeling better.

Sorry to hear of your reaction to the vaccine. Hope you’re feeling better soon.

I have to say that I am somewhat apprehensive about getting the new vaccine. I was in China from November 2019 until March 2020 and I caught Covid-19 which completely knocked the stuffing out of me and at one point I thought I was going to die when I experienced difficulty breathing.

I know that Covid-19 can be a fatal illness , however, I have never taken an annual flu jab. Many years ago when I worked for a genetic research center I had to visit the occupation health department. After answering a lot of questions the occupational health nurse thought I seemed unsure about whether not I was vaccinated against Polio (I was) so she decided to give me a top up in the form of a sugar lump containing the vaccine. Within thirty seconds of swallowing said sugar lump I barely made it to a nearby trash can before projectile vomiting into it.

Whilst working at above mentioned genetic research I contracted systemic septicemia and spent 12 days in hospital. The day before I was discharged from hospital a medical consultant visited me. Shaking his head he said: "I don't understand how you are still alive because your body temperature reached 43 C.

I allergic to a specific drug and a certain kind of food, therefore, I am somewhat apprehensive about it.

I had Covid last month and also got the immuno therapy treatment by Regeneron, so it's really unknown how my reaction will be to a vaccine. I guess I can expect about anything when I get it.

I have an autoimmune condition. When I got vaccinated for hepatitis A and B, I have fevers of 105 to 106 for a couple of weeks. I am a bit worried about this new vaccine.

My daughter is a nurse in a senior care home, she says a lot of younger people are having some issues after the second dose.(probably because younger people have a better immune response, like some flu vaccines we may want to age adjust the dose) I just became eligible yesterday and haven't yet been able to schedule mine.

Thanks

Thanks for the tip. I used to have a reaction to the flu shot (as you described) but this year took a chance and got one. No reaction whatsoever. Our governor has made getting the vaccine out as a priority and I am in the targeted age range. Luckily, I live alone and can easily take a few days away from activities and in great shape so not worried.

Glad you're feeling better.
Thanks for keeping us apprised.
I'll be getting mine as soon as it's available to me.

I had covid and trust me this is worth it to not get it. I’ve never coughed so hard in all my life. I would take NyQuil to go to sleep to quit coughing. It was nonstop for about two weeks

Yikes! My county just opened up the process for my group, so I’m signing up. I also usually do well with vaccines, but I’ll brace myself, just in case, especially for that #2 shot.

Any symptoms from first dose

Thank you for updates. Please continue sharing.
