@phoneboy every press conference I listen to talks about vaccination rates and “now’s the time to get vaccinated”. But you’re right, there are the long term effects to think about and I think that’s where my friend is coming from with his talking me out of it.
@matigo this is the exact reason why I booked mine for Friday lunch time. That way if I start to feel the effects I have the weekend to recover.

I’m glad I stood my ground and am on the road to being fully vaccinated.
That statement comes as I have a friend (who is becoming a very close friend) who has been trying to talk me out of getting vaccinated since I registered my interest with Queensland Health all those weeks ago. He has his reasons for not getting vaccinated, which I believe are part of his religious beliefs. I’m not one to question other people’s beliefs, as long as they are respectful to me, that’s all that matters.
It’s pretty much like this - I’m getting vaccinated to protect myself and the important people around me, in particular my mum and my nan. While I’m currently under a directive to work from home full time right now, there will be a time where I do have to go back to the office and I’m pretty much the only one in my house that has to be out and about. I don’t want to be that person that gets COVID, brings it home and potentially kills my loved ones. I’d rather not live with that guilt.
@peemee Today is the first day that my arm has felt normal. I’m expecting a lot worse with the second shot based on how others have felt. I realise everyone is different but it doesn’t hurt to know what could happen. Congrats on being fully vaxxed!
@matigo Aha! The tiredness and low energy hit me after a little bit too. Feeling a lot better today though, arm is definitely not as sore.
@joeo10 Thanks! I’ve heard that about the second Pfizer shot. Thank goodness I made the second shot on a Friday then.
@matigo maybe just a small bit. I did find myself reaching for the snacks.
Really surprised I’m not snoozing right now, like I was this time last night.
Had my first vaccine shot on Wednesday and apart from a really sore arm and having not much energy, I’m doing ok. Next one is in 3 weeks time.
@matigo yeah I know. There was no availability between now and the end of August. I was facing the reality I may not get it before my birthday in November. I guess the universe wants me to be protected from this awful virus.
