Second dose of my COVID19 vaccine: DONE

Updated: Feb 8, 2021

Hey COVID, F U!

Dose #2 is D-O-N-E!

I received my second Moderna vaccine on Tuesday afternoon and gleefully skipped all the way to the parking lot.

Let’s discuss the side effects:
 
-Approximately 12 hours post vaccination, I developed injection site tenderness and mild swelling
 
-As the day continued, I felt tired, my eyes felt heavy, and I experienced mild/moderate body aches and joint pain
 
-The above side effects lasted for about 24-36 hours

WHAT DOES IT ALL MEAN:
 
It means my immune system is working!!!

PLEASE NOTE:
 
-My side effects were completely manageable
 
-Resolved with a dose of Tylenol
 
-It was WAY better than having COVID, being admitted to the hospital, and potentially having long term, devastating symptoms

Please, please, please... I beg you...
 
When it’s your chance to get your shot, do your research (using credible sources-not Jenny McCarthy ), ask questions, and trust science!!!
