But in truth, who knows? It is so early. This was late May. I opted for J&J because I chose NOT to have the MRNA factor and I only wanted to go through it once. It's enough to say I have done it and have the card to prove it so for me, that was the most important thing. I needed to get on a plane and I wasn't sure if that might be a necessity. As to side effects, 2 out of 3 had sore arms. Mine lasted a bit. One felt very poorly the first day but that was all. I can't honestly say that I have felt anything negative. J&J is more like the standard vaccines people have taken for years. The MRNA did concern me for long term unknown effects, but surely millions have gotten it and for the most part so far are fine. Again Who really knows? And for the record, I have NEVER gotten a flu shot and am on no medications at the ripe old age of 71. So, so needless to say this was a tough decision.

I have had friends experience no reaction to being bedridden for several days, although most have mild reactions. I didn't have any reaction on my first Moderna shot, but on the second had a short lived fever during the night afterwards.nextmoranhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09745880182324767229noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-224730178577848959.post-54392881000878805712021-08-10T09:40:12.316-07:002021-08-10T09:40:12.316-07:00Wife and I both received Moderna vaccine at a phar...Wife and I both received Moderna vaccine at a pharmacy, and only received short written information that contained little information regarding potential reactions to shot. After first shot almost no reaction, but after second both had reaction day after injection. Not bad but just general malaise. Next day all good. Second shot was administered February 15, so it has been 6 months and all is good. We are both at 80 plus years.<br />CarlGeohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04679147693646542992noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-224730178577848959.post-22484814081336453792021-08-10T08:49:39.783-07:002021-08-10T08:49:39.783-07:00It was a hard decision for Marcia (wife) who has M...It was a hard decision for Marcia (wife) who has MS, but since we had a wedding to attend and travel from coast to coast she decided to take the chance and got it. We both got it at Walgreens and they gave a brochure and typed paper which had some side affects, but not nearly what you can find on Internet at official medical sites. They were only giving Pfizer shot, so I assumed the info they gave related to Pfizer. She did have a bad reaction...felt like she had a bad UTI. One of her MS drugs was to control urge, a problem with people who have MS. For second shot we just had her skip that medication for 4 days, day prior and next 3 days, and she did not have the bad reaction for the second shot. NONE of this was in info provided by Walgreens, and hard to find on 'official' medical sites, but found on a couple of MS sites. Hope this helps.Dave Burdick (GoingRvWay.com)https://www.blogger.com/profile/10706797381982584920noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-224730178577848959.post-45142738143966039362021-08-10T08:45:39.798-07:002021-08-10T08:45:39.798-07:00The shot came with paperwork about the possible pr...The shot came with paperwork about the possible problems. <br />I took the shots because my spouse insisted...
