Coronavirus (Covid-19) informational thread

My almost 11 month old baby got dose 1 of the Pfizer 3 dose shot. He had covid at 5 months. We didn't notice any side effects to the shot over the weekend.

We will be visiting my elderly parents on 2 months, we wanted to protect them as much as possible.

All I know is that wow, did the Moderna vaccine (two regular shots and one booster shot!) knocked me out physically for two days afterward after each shot. 😒

I felt really tired, knocked out by 9 pm (<12 hrs) after the first dose. My arm felt like someone strong punched it for 3 days. My glands were swollen in my armpit for 2 weeks. The second dose, just felt the same for about 2 days.

I also did not have COVID before the shot. My son had COVID 3 months ago, so I was worried, but I'm glad he didn't show any signs of even taking it.

That means it's working.

My 39 year old son has COVID. He returned to the Midwest after visiting his brother on the West Coast. Three days later he wasn't feeling well, and took a home test, then went to be seen by his doctor. My wife and I had picked him up at the airport and driven him home, a 35 minute trip. He has 2 more days to quarantine, so we won't see him this weekend, a rare occurrence. So far, my wife and I, as well as his brother's family (2 kids) have not gotten sick. None of us have ever tested positive until now. Thankfully, COVID is now usually mild for fully vaccinated individuals like our son. He is already feeling better.

Bottom line: stay vigilant, it's not over! Well, it's endemic now, whether that's been declared officially or not. I'll be asking my doctor if I should get the new Omicron vaccine. I've had 2 booster shots already.
