Getting the vaccine??

[Tradd]

Just got a text from the county health dept that I could log onto their website tomorrow at noon to book an appt, but I’ll be diving and cell service at the dive site is sketchy.

Yeah that was SO. Part of the reason I want the J&J is so that he and I have diversity in case some new variant evades one or the other. The other reason is, as tuber noted, one and done. And apparently less side effects but still quite effective.

Data shows side effects are more significant with J/J. Not sure where you heard they are less.

This article is in line with what I’ve read elsewhere. Roughly 55% of people reporting systemic side effects (the various flulike symptoms) after the J&J compared to closer to 80% after the second shot of moderna.

Truthfully though, side effects or the lack thereof is not at all part of my decision, it’s just a bonus (hopefully. As with everything else about covid individual results seem to be pretty random.)

A church friend’s tech savvy son got the text, too. He’s going to try to book my appt for me

Good luck, Tradd.

Got an email from the VA and I may be able to get dh his vaccine as my spouse. Need to check into it.

I decided to sign up for a vaccine after all. It's offered at work (long term care facility) and although I don't really want it, I feel that people are being stupid with precautions and things are opening up a little too soon, It's the J&J one, and after reading about the side effects on other forums, I'm a bit worried. Last April or May I did have a very mild case of Covid; just fever and loss of taste and smell. Rather have one shot than two but would prefer to not get any.

I ended up getting my first shot last week as did Hubby. I ended up saying I smoked, did not matter no one asked nor did they ask for my drivers license. I feel very relieved.

I’m starting to think it’s not just your son that has issues with OCD.

No I don't smoke, I was never asked if I did so I really did not have to lie. I was never asked for my driver License either. I am 60 and guess I look 65 as on that day 65 and over were welcome.

Also "I did not have to lie." No one ever has to lie. Lying is a choice, and reveals a person's character or lack thereof.

Seriously - start worrying about your own words, comments and behaviors instead of attacking others. STILL wishing you some peace and happiness.
