Remember to move your arm around even though it's sore, helps it heal faster.

I got the Pfizer first shot two weeks ago. I'm scheduled for second shot next week. I had a tiny bit of arm soreness the morning after, but by mid-afternoon it was completely gone. I worked out the night of the shot, specifically the arms, so supposedly the nurse said that would help in reducing arm soreness.

Michigan is rolling that out on Thursday and I intend to sign up for the poke.
And I voted.
They finally announced more availability here. I think the pull back was due to the J&J issues.
I already acquired COVID 19 but am going to get the vaccine anyway.

My state .gov website failed to mention several available vaccine sites (namely a large portion of the Pfizer vaccines which was my first choice). I never ended up using the official state site. I just went directly to Walgreens webpage and signed up there. Really easy to make both my appointments.
"Fully" vaccinated might be jumping the gun, even for those who have there second shot already. A third shot is already in the making a year from now.

Nice, so did I, and so did I. Both for improving my immunity for longer and protecting against different strains better, and to make other people more comfortable, especially my girlfriend who was very wary of my band starting to tour and play shows and festivals again without it.
They told me I would be more likely to experience side effects from the vaccine because I already had COVID, apparently your immune system will react more strongly to the vaccine if you already got it. I didn't get any side effects at all though, at least not from the first dose. I get my second dose next week (Pfizer).

I can say with some certainty that it was not demons.
I got my first dose on the second of april and my arm is still sore at injection site. Still find it difficult to sleep on that side for very long.
We can only hope that these shots will do what they were intended to. Not a political slur its just that we have no plan-b....
It's impressive how many of you young Americans have been vaccinated! We are still playing catch-up here in Canada.
I will take it once supply exceeds demand, as I had COVID a few months ago and others will benefit from it more than I.

Yeah I waited until it was open to all to get mine, since I had it. We have more supply than demand at this point.

My second shot is coming up. I’m a little nervous about side effects.

Most people I know didn't get any real side effects, at most it was chills/light fever for a day. Generally I mean. Of course I have heard of worse side effects. I hope I don't get any, I was told I am more likely to because I already had COVID. I'd prefer not to get COVID again though, that shit sucked worse than vaccine side effects, I'm quite sure. If I didn't know someone who got it a second time I'd be more likely to avoid the vaccine. But seeing as how I have never gotten any side effects from any vaccine, and the vaccine gives you more robust and longer lasting immunity against variants, and my girlfriend is anxious as hell about the whole thing... the vaccine is the clear choice.
I feel ya, cduggles.
We get our second dose on the 28th... commin' up soon. I had some side effects that reminded me a bit of opioid WDs from the first dose. Prolly just worried about nothing but I have even thought about not taking the second dose. Something just eating at the back of my mind, ya know? Hope this isn't one of those times that I end up wishing I had listened to my conscious. There have been many of those kinda situations throughout my life.
Guess we will see what happens.
There's a disconcerting lack of graphical data in this 'ere thread 
Here's the general situation worldwide of the % who've received at least one vaccine dose (as of 23rd April) for a variety of regions and countries. The US is doing really well; surprisingly the EU (considering it's huge manufacturing capacity and potential) isn't.
(NB: Gibraltar is confusingly over 100%, but that's because they also decided to offer the Pfizer vaccine to their entire cohort of non-resident workers and their families - folks who mostly live across the border in Spain)

I've been fully vaxxed now with 2 shots of the AZ. I felt nothing at all except a little post-injection pain at the injection site, both times, that passed in 1-2 days. FWIW I caught actual Covid in early March 2020 and had a fairly unpleasant run with it including lingering long-term side-effects, though my experience wasn't in any way severe enough to require hospitalizing.
My Mum and Aunt (UK) were also fully vaccinated with the AZ-Oxford vaccine. They both felt a little ill after the first shot (mostly bad headaches) but that was it. However both developed symptoms much more typical of a full-on infection after the second shot (mild fever, lethargy, lack of appetite, poor sleep) for 1-2 days.
My brother and his wife (US) have also been fully vaccinated (with the Moderna), and both felt pretty unwell, again largely soon after their second jabs. One other relative I know of (UK) has also been fully vaccinated now (with the Pfizer). He said he felt worse after his first shot and actually slightly less sick after the booster

or there are a lot of people with multiple personality disorders in Gibraltar, something I could believe.There's a disconcerting lack of graphical data in this 'ere thread

You must have the highest anti-coronavirus antibody titer of anyone on earth, 2 x natural infection plus 2x the oxford-AZ GM chimp virus vaccine. Have you enrolled in a study? If you test positive for the damn thing for a third time that would be smoking gun evidence that antibodies do not prevent infection and God is fucking with you!
