Three or Four Days After 2nd COVID-19 Shot...

Got my second Moderna shot Monday morning, and I'm trying to figure out
whether today, Thursday morning, is the third or fourth day.

So far, the side effects have been mild. Had a bit of soreness at the
injection site but that has mostly faded away and I did feel lethargic
and still do, but so far no fever, headaches, nausea, et cetera. I did
have some pain in my right toe, but I attribute that to a gazelle-like
move I made in the kitchen yesterday when I banged it into the bottom of
a cabinet. And the scratch on my hand resulted from a fight I had with
one of the cats, who demanded I give up the last bite of a tunafish
sandwich.

Not all my luck has been bad, though. I did come across a two pound bag
of frozen lobster claws for $19 at the local Harris Teeter. Bought these
once before and they are great buy.

Oh, and I also received a poorly written email from a pretty Slovakian
lass of 26 who will "do anything" to come to America. Heck, I haven't
dated a pretty girl that young since I was 47, so I forwarded
her missive to my good buddy Donald J. Trump, aka "the former guy," who,
if the rumors pan out, will be in the market for another European bride
later this year, after Melancholia cashes in her pre-nup and heads back
to her country of origin.

But, as Melancholia's jacket declared, "I don't care, do you?"

I'd say you are finishing up your 3rd day
After 72 hours have passed since the injection, you will enter your 4th day.

That makes sense. Thanks. Hopefully, no new symptoms today or tomorrow
and then I presume I am "home-free" in terms of negative vaccination
side effects. My second shot was delayed a week because of our "snow
days" here.

Slow going here for the shots.
They just started 80 year olds and up. Registration system failed the first hour.
We are expecting the new version from India that is only 62% effective.
Thank goodness they won't give it to the 65 and older crowd. Trouble is
it will still be a month or two before my age group ponys up.
Some provinces are delaying the 2nd shot to speed up the 1st shot for more people.


Delaying the 2nd shot? Idiots. There is a stated timeframe for the 2nd
shot.


I've read that in the case of the Moderna vaccine the second dose is
recommended 28 days after the first however the time between the first
and second dose can be extended to 48 days.

I've also read that the first Moderna and the first Pfizer dose raises
your "immunity" to over 90 percent. The second dose only adds two or
three percent more, according to the testing. If true, it seems like
skipping the second dose making more vaccine available for others might
be worth considering. I'd gladly forgo the second dose if Mrs.E.
could receive her first instead.

I am scheduled for the second Moderna dose next Saturday (March 13th)
and am very fortunate that the VA made the vaccinations available.
Most seniors in MA are still having a hard time scheduling an
appointment to get the vaccine. Mrs.E. is on a waiting list at
two vaccination centers. Appointments are booked for over a
month in advance.


When I finally got through to a human here in the county, wanting to schedule my
second dose, the lady said, "Sir, the CDC says you can wait six weeks between
the first and second dose."

I said, "Ma'am, I'm already over five weeks."

Then she scheduled me for the following week.
