I had the 1st Covid vaccine. I feel awful. High fevers, vomiting, palpitations, body aches. We are being mandated to the Covid vaccine.
I called employee health and they basically said very few people will be exempt from the 2nd vaccine. A lot of young females are having this issue because the being female and already having antibodies.
I don't think I can put myself through this again. They said I'm going to feel even worse with the second.

My exact reaction to both as welll…now expecting a Pfizer booster in less than two months from now if my mother heard the news correctly. Plan if for. Friday afternoon and sleep it off over the weekend I guess.
Hubby had zero reaction except a sore arm the second dose? He’s been in and out of hospital ORs since the beginning-and not the best with precautions when traveling…how he wasn’t exposed or infected to some degree before had asymptomatically is beyond me….but if he was I would expect more of a reaction. Heck, I was living in isolation for almost a year and had more…
Everyone responds differently to the vaccine-either way-it sure as anything beats active covid infection. Many young people are being hospitalized every day right now due to the highly contagious variant that even the vaccine is not that great at preventing active illness…but at least we are less likely to end up 6 ft under afterward….Virus. From. Hell.
Presuming we have the weekend off that is. Anyhow, I will have to request a couple days off if the original shot is any indication. I felt pretty rough.
I had no reaction to my first shot but my spouse did - because of prior COVID infection. Everyone I know who's had a strong reaction to the first shot had COVID previously.
