Who plans to get the covid 19 VACCINE when it comes out

Funny that you say that...

The first vaccination of Moderna...happened so fast...my first thought was that the nurse was super fast and I wasn't sure if I was vaccinated.

In contrast, my 2nd shot of Moderna, I told the nurse (a different nurse) I wanted to see her withdraw the vaccine out of that small vaccine bottle and then "slowly" inject it into my arm. I then explained to her my skepticism after my 1st vaccination dose.

She laughed and said that she is new, will withdraw the fluids out of the vaccine bottle in front of me very slowly so that I can see it, and then will inject me...making sure that it hurts a little.

She then said...if you're still not sure...I can give the spot of the jab a good punch if you want. :D

Interesting. I don't remember much about my first vaccine, except that I barely felt it. On the other hand, my second dose hurt! I felt the needle going in, and I felt the vaccine being injected. The first booster I felt almost not at all and, as I noted earlier, I didn't feel a thing with the second booster. What I recall specifically with the 2 booster shots is that the people doing the injecting first spent several seconds vigorously rubbing the injection site with the alcohol gauze, which probably helped to desensitize the area a bit. They also pinched the arm where they injected the vaccine while holding that pinch. The woman who gave me the painful second dose injection did neither of those two things. There is much to be said about technique.
 
Moderna booster is half the original thus the same 50 mg as Pfizer. Studies show it is better to have that. I think a 100 mg Pfizer would be just as effective as the original Moderna. (Moderna had a slight edge, probably due to having more juice in it)I am also surprised they didn't drop the quantity for kids.

How ya feeling after that fourth booster? I had a few aches and a slight fever, lasted about 12 hours after the first two, but not much of anything after the third shot, other than the temporary increase in my tinnitus both times. I also noticed a slight increase, like 2 BPM, in my resting HR each time which lasted a couple weeks, if my Fitbit is to be believed.

I didn't think to check either my heart rate or BP. I'll probably do that on the weekend if it comes to mind. Last weekend my BP was 111/70, with a heart rate of 59 BPM. This was about 90 minutes or so after my workout.

First time I measured it this morning, it was 111/73, 59 BPM. Some minutes later, it was 105/67, same BPM. There was no workout scheduled for this morning, and I only got a few hours sleep last night.
 
I haven't gotten a booster and at this point I am going to hold off. I am pretty sure I had Covid in January as I was sick for a couple days, and my wife and oldest both tested positive. It was no worse than a bad cold for a couple days. Based on my reaction to the 2nd Moderna shot I really have no desire to get a booster unless things become really bad with a new variant.

You now have Super Immunity (Covid vaccination plus breakthrough Covid infection)...thanks to Omicron.
