mrflynn03 Posted April 27, 2021 Report Share Posted April 27, 2021 Just now, rico said: Not at all. That's good then. From what I've read if no reaction to the first shot any side effects to the 2nd should be mild if any. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bronkonagurski Posted April 28, 2021 Report Share Posted April 28, 2021 I get my 2nd shot of Moderna on Monday. The 1st shot kicked my ass for about 24 hours so I am hoping the 2nd shot will grant me a bit more mercy. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

5fouls Posted April 28, 2021 Report Share Posted April 28, 2021 Turning the corner in the U.S. Some 'experts feel that reaching the 40% mark in vaccinations will help the U.S. turn the corner. Data comparison of 14 day average cases versus 7 day average cases may already be showing that. https://www.msn.com/en-us/health/medical/vaccines-appear-to-be-slowing-spread-of-covid-19-infections/ar-BB1g8ZJV?ocid=msedgntp 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe Indiana is in the bottom third in having people vaccinated, which is unfortunate. I think the state is trying and doing a good job making the vaccine available. Just too many Hoosiers are reluctant to get one. We're even behind Kentucky. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
5fouls Posted April 28, 2021 Report Share Posted April 28, 2021 (edited) According to this website, U.S. with at least 1 shot - 43% Indiana at least 1 shot - 35% U.S. percent fully vaccinated - 27% Indiana fully vaccinated - 23% Utah, Arkansas, Tennessee, Mississippi, Alabama, and Georgia are the only states with a smaller percentage fully vaccinated. https://usafacts.org/visualizations/covid-vaccine-tracker-states/ Edited April 28, 2021 by 5fouls Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RoadToZion Posted April 28, 2021 Report Share Posted April 28, 2021 I'm getting the J&J one tomorrow. Not thrilled about it, but I travel overseas a lot and I have a feeling some sort of vaccine will be needed in order to get into certain countries. We shall see.

I have not encountered too many that have not gotten the vaccination. To me it just does not make sense not too. I wasn't going to share but I will. On Saturday I was at the deli and a lady who previously cut me off in her Lexus SUV came up and knew a guy also in line and said thank God we don't have to wear the masks anymore. Its so stupid and just another way of the damn Democrats trying to control us. She was like once they said it was not mandatory never would I put in on again. I get my turkey and turn around and she sees I have my mask on and in a very condescending voice she says oh Im sorry did my comments offend you. Without thinking or stopping myself I replied, I was a teaching for 20 years I am more than used to hearing ignorant comments on a daily.

TheWatShot Posted April 28, 2021 Report Share Posted April 28, 2021 Day after Pfizer #1: my arm feels like someone took a sledgehammer to it, but no flu symptoms. I'd probably feel better if the pain in my arm hadn't kept me awake most of the night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have already noticed an increase number of people at the grocery and home improvement stores not wearing them, despite the fact that the store still has signs up saying they are required. I'm even seeing examples of 5 year olds wearing them, but parents not. I assume the parent has been vaccinated while the child hasn't, but I don't think the plan was to get vaccinated and automatically ditch the mask in public 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How will outdoor restaurants know who’s been vaccinated? They really can’t or won’t. So anti-maskers will just claim that they are fully-vaccinated and the servers will be exposed to them. We’ve come so far with vaccinations, but just not there yet. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drroogh Posted April 28, 2021 Report Share Posted April 28, 2021 Don’t know how it is in other parts, but checking the GA numbers today. 34% have 1 shot 24% have two shots. Here in our company of several hundred, only 16% have two shots. Of course few were in the 65 and at risk category so they got a later start. Hope we cross the finish line before a new strain starts us all over again! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like the idea. It will be interesting to see if it works and if others states follow suit. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
