Should I have the 2nd jab?

When the 1st jab nearly killed me.

Thoughts?

Might as well have the second one then your done.
I had flu like symptoms after my first one (AstraZenca) but ok after second.
I think its going to be difficult to do stuff if you don't have both jabs.

@divegeester
I think you will be very restricted without the second. It wouldn't make sense to take only the first. How ill did it make you?

@divegeester this is just the start, you will need a booster every year, 1st one i felt worst i have done for years so i'm not sure about a 2nd

think of the children

I had the Pfizer first shot on May 5th, bit of a sore arm on the second day and that was it. We may have to get Moderna vaccine for a second shot. Trying to book for 2nd appointment earlier now than the expected Aug18th date. Everything is pretty much booked up, just have to wait for an opening so we both can get the shot at the same time. They say there is not much difference between those two kinds.

I will however continue to wear my mask around people and keep my distance even after my second shot. As someone said you're not just protecting yourself by getting it but also other people.
AstraZeneca vaccine seems to have made many people I know sick for anywhere from 2 to 4 days. I haven't heard much about the other two except bit of a sore arm like I had the following day of the vaccine.

I too like many others expect yearly shots at least every year. Possibly our new flu shot replacement?

I had the Pfizer jabs and the first was a non-event the second took me out for a day and a half (I gather it's the other way round for the AstraZeneca jab - bad first, easy second).
I'd rather have a "bad" (as in easier than Man-flu) reaction than be hospitalised or risk passing it on to someone else and hospitalising them - the vaccine will not stop you getting it, but it ...[text shortened]... kes it less likely you'd be a spreader.

It's not about you - it's about protecting everyone else.
