Wife and I got our second shots last week.
We're going inside a grocery store for the first time in a year Thursday.
It seems there is a minimum (or preferred, or ideal) time between the first and second shot and they don't immediately offer 100% protection. After (2) weeks the efficiency of the first shot rises to something like 50% and stops around 60%. The booster needs a couple of weeks to get into the to 90% range. Maybe the "avoid people" statement was to insure you get into the 90% range?Yes:
Mine was Moderna, my wife's was Pfizer. Up here we all get different responses. Both of us are (4) weeks. between shots and ,yeah, we got the card. In NY (were I lived until (10) years ago,) some places are telling people (75) and older to avoid people for (2) weeks after getting the last shot. ???
The size of the shot was determined in the lab, we have to trust science.21 days for Pfizer.
28 Days for Moderna.
The strange thing is the volume in each Moderna shot is more than 3 times as much as the volume in each Pfizer shot.

You were at Ft. Bragg? I was born there. Still waiting for mine in California. Still 65+ and waiting for the 55+ to open.That's the one!!!
Ft Bragg, Got mine 1968.
A lot of bloody arms I saw----They didn't always wait for the target to stop walking before they pulled the trigger!!!
Then they put the load in there so fast, it went in a lump---Took awhile to disperse.
Typical Army!!!

You guys are a very trusting bunch, personally I don't trust our Government as far as I can spit.
I'm not getting one I've had C-19 maybe twice for sure once last year, and I'm still dealing with nerve pain crazy cramping and breathing issues. I don't see the benefit of getting the vaccine at this point. Furthermore, I've flown in commercial airplanes and been surrounded by people pretty much the whole time. So I feel if it was gonna get me it would have by now, so I'll take my chances rather than take vaccines that were fast tracked/ rushed through the development process.
I've had that used on me when I was 9 or 10 years old . I was in grade school and they gave us some shot at school . Lined up like cattle going to slatter . Walked in a line through the lunch room . PSST , PSST . I've always remembered that .. The guns looked like the "Binks" Air Assisted Airless Gun We used to spray my Kitchen cabinets. And I swear the one shot I got passed a Volkswagen into my Arm!!
That's it right there .I trust Fauci. With so many people not getting the vaccine and everyplace in a rush to open back up to normal this crap will never go away. RAY
You may have a supply of antibodies, but the jury is still out on how long they remain active in your body without some sort of booster.You guys are a very trusting bunch, personally I don't trust our Government as far as I can spit.

I trust the Scientists more than I trust this Virus.

I'm a numbers and science kind of guy too. I do believe that Fauci is an expert Epidemiologist and a wonderful educator..., but he's not an economist, business strategist, finance expert or school superintendent. Because of his role a a spokesperson for the COVID taskforce he often gave opinions outside his area of expertise.I trust Fauci. With so many people not getting the vaccine and everyplace in a rush to open back up to normal this crap will never go away. RAY

I have had both doses now. The second dose seems to have hit me pretty hard with a lot of body pain. I guess if you are completely out of shape like me that should be expected. Do yourself a favor and take better care of yourself than I do. That being said I feel much more secure visiting my elderly parents. I just hate to think that I might bring that crap into their house.

Bear,Oh No, if it depends on the shape you're in, I'm in Big Trouble.
If I would have known I was going to live this long, I would have taken better care of myself!!!
I left my house Twice in this last year:
Once in October to get my First ever FLU Shot.
Once Monday March 1st to get my first Moderna Covid Shot.
Got one to go yet, on March 29th.

How about we let people voice their opinion on the topic whether it goes with or against the popular view of others.How about we let the post get back to what it was intended for.
To find out how many members got the Vaccine or are getting it.
Thank you
Richie
Hell, they must have gotten that shot mixed up with my flu shot about 15 years ago, and effects never went awayTuesday I was lethargic, fatigued, muscle pains, back pain, a few hot flashes, chills, and headache.
