Another twist re Astra Zeneca - from Germany. Upside we might get info on mixing vaccines? Reuters reported that the committee, called STIKO, recommended that people receive a dose of an mRNA-based vaccine, such as those from Pfizer/BioNTech or Moderna, 12 weeks after receiving their first AstraZeneca dose. "Until the appropriate data is available, STIKO recommends for people under 60 years old that instead of the second AstraZeneca dose, a dose of an mRNA-vaccine should be given 12 weeks after the first vaccine," STIKO said, according to Reuters. link

byjove if you really want to talk with another allergist, H's uncle is dual certified in allergy and internal medicine and owned his own allergy practice for forever. We call him all the time whenever we have a weird medical question. Honestly, he's like the nicest person. If you end up wanting a contact, let me know. He'd be happy to give his professional opinion to you.

First dose of Moderna done, for me, dh, and, dd1! Go figure, I was the only one with any reaction during the wait time after- the right side of my lips and nose were tingly & numbish. Thankfully, the sensation was gone at 40 min post shot and there were no other indications of anything amiss. I had left side face tingles immediately after both shots of pfizer. It went away though pretty quickly. Apparently my neighbor had that too. Total anecdote and unconfirmed - I think I had covid last March and then a few weeks later half my face was completely numb..of course the day the report that people could have strokes after mild covid. A fun trip to the ER told me I was fine, but I'm still suspicious if it was all somehow connected with the neurological aspect of covid.

Seems that the WH did hope for some gubernatorial help with the J&J rollout - which makes sense to me. Just hoping the manufacturing snafu doesn't really mess up the rollout too badly. J&J could be useful in so many spots. link

This is reassuring, thanks fatpony and tallb. I hadn't heard anything like that from anyone so I'm glad it wasn't in my imagination. I was starting to feel a tad hypochondriacal.

My son just got back from HyVee after getting a call at 6:30 to see if he could come in for his first dose! I have had a really hard time finding a Pfizer dose around here for him that didn't require him to miss some school. They signed him up for the second dose and it is on a Saturday so no missed school!

Thanks for the feedback! I am a little nervous about what to expect. I assume I’ll just be extra-tired, but nights here usually have some shenanigans of pet or child variety (similar to fatpony), so what is tired?

I am in kind of a strange work situation, of which I can do nothing, but find a bit frustrating. There is a junior person working on my program doing lab work- which is in person and she is comfortable going to do it. The lab has strict protocols about people not being in the space at the same time and if you go out of the area, you have to quarantine from the lab for 2 weeks. This employee really likes to travel and has been out of the country for trips etc. during covid times, and yes she can use vacation as she wants, but every time she does, she has to quarantine for 2 weeks and can't do the lab experiments. We are already limited because of covid protocols, but this is putting us even further behind. She's already had to quarantine a month since the New Year and I just found out she has to quarantine again

Did anyone who had a second shot already NOT have any side effects? We’re scheduled next Friday for our second dose of Moderna and I’m trying to figure out how present we’ll be with our kids over the weekend. It’s also closing weekend for the ski hill we go to, so I’m hoping we can feel ok 38 hours later to take the kids one last day. I had no side effects, other than a sore arm. My H was a bit tired, but otherwise fine. I think they say it’s 50/50 if you’ll have any negative side effects.

byjove that seems like they are exploiting the quarantine rules to avoid actually working. That can’t be good for morale for the rest of the people working there either.

Sounds like there needs to be some disciplinary procedures in place for repeated voluntary infractions like that.

She can work from home and do data analysis, so yes, she is being paid, but she can do the lab work which is what is setting us behind.

She's a fed, and technically still doing her job, so this isn't something that even remotely would get her reprimanded.

byjove That would annoy me. It seems like they’re taking advantage of the quarantine rules. What would happen if everyone did the same travel outside of work? How would they staff the lab?

Doesn't she have to have vacation time pre-approved by a supervisor? Sounds like they are the ones who need to address it.

Technically yes, but he's very lax and before covid we all loved this employee. She and I have the same supervisor. If rules don't change or this keeps happening, I'll have to bring it up. I'm not the only one that is noticing. I appreciate all your feedback. I felt a bit whiny, glad to know I am probably not overreacting.

I just tell them my plans and they say "cool." But I've also not made it in an issue in terms of work essential to the position getting done - I feel like that's why the pre-approval policy is usually there, in case it is needed.

Could someone else take over the lab work and she take over something else that is doable remote? I feel like it’s not sustainable for long term if it’s really messing with production of projects.

I am hurting. I was holding out hope I wouldn't react as much to the second dose, but it's actually been worse (iffy stomach on top of joint pain/aches and headache. Thankfully the headache went away yesterday.) It is what it is and still better than the damn virus, but I'm whiny today.

My side effects (headache, tiredness, achiness) started on day 2 post shot and went through day 3. Annoying, but very worth it. Can you give yourself a break today? Let the kids make a mess while you lie down and watch your favorite show or read a book? ETA: wtf, autocorrect? That’s achiness, not A Chinese.

Second Pfizer dose done and dusted! I’m about 3.5 hours post shot and so far just the sore arm but I downed a Gatorade and some ibuprofen preemptively just in case.

Second Moderna shot today! It hurt more going in than the first one did but not bad. We'll see about side effects.
My husband got his first shot on Wednesday. I thought he was getting Moderna but he got Pfizer. He had a sore arm but otherwise no side effects.

MH and I just got our first Moderna shots about an hour ago. I didn’t even feel it, slight throbbing in the injection spot on the drive home. The pharmacist was so good. Chugging water and we’ll see what tonight/tomorrow brings.
