I had the Pfizer 2 weeks ago.Shoulder joint (not the injection site) was sore for 2 days.No other ill effects. I feel it's our civic duty to get immunized when & if you can.If we can get to the 75% immunized mark, herd immunity should do the rest.Good luck to everyone...and DON'T lower your guard!

Here's that update: Later that night I started feeling kinda blah. Woke up with mild flu like symptoms. Sore muscles, body aches/joint pains. Lasted the rest of the day. Next day was a little better but still didn't feel like doing much. By Sunday I was at @ 85% and feeling a lot better. The worst part was the injection site soreness. Today I'm out here dodging tornados in Atlanta. I'm 'bout ready to hang up my mask but will hold off for now as many places still requiring it for entry. If this keeps me out of the hospital (and grave) I'd say it's all worth it and I'd highly recommend getting yours so we can all go back to "normal" (whatever that may be). Happy TrailZzzz .....

I never understood why people feel that way.Would you accept a blood transfusion if you needed one because of a bad accident of some sort?Keep in mind that if the health risks become great enough (& that's not far off),the governments can make it very difficult for the unvaccinated.They can & will mandate FAR more than masks, such as proof of vaccination to get in a grocery store.Your not vaccinated then someone who is will do your shopping for you.Don't forget the complexity of the world we live in.
Sometimes the best way to get a person to do something is tell him he is forbidden to do it.

I'm not worried about anything at all, except people not doing thier part.I don't know anyone that cheered at the opportunity to get vaccinated, & some people that were downright scared.I get that with uncertainty with the very little that we know about the vaccine.Most did it because it was the right thing to do, all failures included.I guess those people are not cowards, or afraid to do the right thing.You will feel different if someone you give a **** about dies.
It's very true that vaccinated people die...but unvaccinated people die at an alarming rate.Better hope it doesn't come for you, or even worse that you spread the illness to others.

I too had 2 shots of Pfizer
I didn't feel either ,, was like nothing happened

About the anti-vaxxers ,, I truly understand their concerns but it's clear the vaccine was developed through global effort and that's what helped it's quick development

The vaccine is meant to keep people out of the hospital ,, not send them there ,, Covid does that

That is certainly a good point...we ARE the testing ground.In this case, the benefits are far greater than the risks thusfar.Time will tell all.I'm am not afraid in either case.If Covid wasn't as contagious (& my mom wasn't a factor), I would have taken my chances with the illness myself,like every flu season before my mom got ill.Not an option for me, & I really don't mind having done it for the greater good.BUT Covid is VERY contagious, so I would have had the vaccine in either case.

The older types of vaccines consisted of injecting you with a weakened virus of the actual disease with the hopes that your body would build immunity before you actually get the disease. Other vaccines are killed viruses or modified viruses.
All had potential risk and needed extensive clinical testing to achieve sufficient effectiveness and acceptable safety.

The new mRNA vaccines do not involve the disease virus at all. They are basically a set of instructions given to our cells that tell them how to make a protein found in the virus. Then our immune system sees the protein doesn't belong and builds an immune response to it. When the body sees the real virus containing that protein we have hopefully built up sufficient strength in the immune system to fight it off.

mRNA is not new, it's use in vaccines has been researched for many years for influenza, rabies, zika, etc. Cancer researchers are studying mRNA to target cancer cells instead of using toxic drugs and radiation.

Fortunately we now have the science to quickly obtain the genetic sequence of the viruses allowing faster development of vaccines.

Clinical testing is still required but with enough accumulated research and knowledge the effectiveness is better assured than a more "trial and error" approach thus allowing faster development.

For an analogy - Centuries ago if you built a bridge you had guess how strong to make it and test it extensively to see how many horses could safely cross, now, after years of research we can build a bridge without testing because we have the knowledge and formulas already. A previously unknown style of bridge can safely be built by drawing on our existing engineering knowledge and quickly go into service - same applies to research in drug development.

I feel safer getting a Covid mRNA vaccine than a measles vaccine that contains live virus.

It seems like the unvaxed peeps are the one whining the loudest when the country got locked down and now its going to happen again. People need to learn what herd immunity is. Without almost all being vaccinated herd immunity will never happen and it is as simple as that. Yesterday in the town I live in a guy who got a cold 3 days ago died this morning. This guy was one fit SOB as well....and I mean fit and healthy! He died from Covid19 Delta variant confirmed. He was not vaccinated and was actually a strong covid denier. Now his wife is all over telling people to get vaccinated. Every single contact trace that has come back here in the town I live in has come from unvaccinated people.

viruses mutate they don't go away. There will be more strains regardless if you get vaccinated. The vaccinated can still get sick, just like with the flu and still carry, and harm others. So being the testing ground for this seems unnecessary to me. I now know more people that have had covid after full vax than people that ever had it without one. Just the area I'm in I guess.

I'm glad it's available and glad anyone that wants it can get it. Wasn't trying to stir the pot, touchy subject, just stating why I wouldn't, but don't bully and belittle others for their choice. Pretty sure our gov is going to over reach and start mandating, even though its not approved. It's happened in some places in the US already. I don't like the over reach.

I agree, the border should still be closed. It's laughable that Americans are allowed into Canada but the US still keeps out Canadians and Mexicans.

if you go to a hospital you can't wear a reuseable mask
do they give you an n95 mask in place?nope
and I still have 2 boxes of n95's left from several years ago
getting sick from covid doesn't concern me anymore

If you have real n95's why would it matter about re-usable masks?Although i do understand breathing is a little more restrictive.

I may get some just for a little more piece of mind in public......looking cool is out the window.lol

is that why at the hospital they wear a mask plus shield?
why don't the staff get better masks?

Pretty sure that's for staff because of coughing or sneezing directly at them......less likely in real world.

And probably got it from unvaccinated people.lol

and here I thought it was from those that are double vaccinated that feel they have the right to not wear a mask...lol

I heard this the other day: The vaccine is like a seatbelt or air bag in a car, it will protect you in case of an accident but you still have to take care not to get into an accident

That's pretty good and sums it up in a nutshell.

Indoor mask mandates are back in place for all of B.C.

I'm fine with it as with 70-80% vaccine doses administered for those that can get vaccinated. I believe this measure could crush the virus along with the latest uptick of new people ready to roll up their sleeve.......hopefully.

The New Normal is that We Will Be Dealing with this Virus/Covid for Yrs. to come
Because it will keep Mutating and so forth, needing Yearly shots etc.

and if people don't get vaccinated it has more chance of spreading and mutating....

My wife and I currently have both our covid shots. 9 days ago our 20 year old son who lives with us and who has his first shot was infected by his buddy who had no shots. So here my wife and sit in a home that has has covid. My wife cooks for him etc etc etc...and he has the basement to himself and his own bathroom to isolate kind of away from us.
My wife and I have both tested negative as of yesterday and the Dr. stated it was because we were both vaccinated that my wife and I have never got this BS crap that came from China.
Get your shots people as the benefits far out weigh the negative.
I also live in BC where by Sept 13th if you are not fully vaccinated you will be basically staying home. No restaurants, nightclubs, etc etc etc.

It is not a cure or intended to be a cure. Yes, you can still test positive after being vaccinated. It is meant to keep you from getting seriously ill and/or dying.

I think the public good outweighs the individual rights. The founding fathers mandated inoculations. I dont see people comparing george washington to the nazis.

If some one wanted me sick
Why would they go through the trouble of creating a vaccine?

Wouldn't it have been easier to just let me get sick on the virus?

In my world covid shots would be a law.If one chooses not to get a shot they should be <br />
held accountable if they contract and spread it. If it resulted in a death manslaughter charges <br />
should be in...

One thing that bothers me the most is even if you're fully vaccinated,
you can have a viral load in your nose or throat that could easily spread to others. If fully vaccinated people can still spread it and the efficacy goes down......how can you stop it? Sucks

I realize its still early yet but where would
this "viral load" be coming from most likely from the
UN-vaccinated yeah the vaccinated may still carry the virus but its already showing
that its not a common occurrence.How can you stop it you cant you can only control it
that's why its important that everyone does his/her part and get vaccinated to stop
the spread as much as possible.Unfortunately many have and will still become statics
but that's the price we pay for living in this wonderful world.

what about the people that have had the China Virus.. natural vaccine, the body knows how to to heal its self.
I have had it (China Virus) and 40 or more other friends have had it!
Also have several friends that have been vaccinated and a few have had bad side affects!
In Wisconsin they started paying people a 100 dollars to be their sheep and Lab rats sad sad sad!

Why don't we shut down fast food then, demand everyone get to their healthy target weight and outlaw alcohol. This will ensure they are in the best position possible to effectively fight off viruses. We could make all these laws, if you're 50 pounds over weight, it's jail for you. Everything listed here kills way more people yearly then covid. Polio, mumps and measles don't carry the same way as corona viruses, terrible comparison, however those vaccines were developed over years and years and not 8 months. They say they didn't skip trials. never seen anyone collect 5 to 10 years of data in 8 months, they haven't even been around long enough to have a study on new born babies yet. And last but not least, this vaccine in under a year has had more deaths, hospitalizations and adverse affects than all other vaccines combined in the last 30 years, so there's that, and it's only reported to vaers at 1%. Choice for our bodies is important. Glad those that want it can get it.

That would be a little extreme if you want to gt extreme why not separate the races
and polio measles and the mumps was not meant to be a comparison lol and to all the rest
of your statement what do you suggest that we do nothing?

yeah i bet that 25% would be a lot less if everyone in ontario was vaccinated.im not sayin covid is going to go away
so what do we do wait 10 years for the complete testing is done and then there will be many saying the same thing
about the next development no common sense get vaccinated theres not enough wood to bury us all waiting on testing lol.
We are the test......

Did you just call getting healthy extreme? But getting an unknown substance shot into your body should be law lol Might as well separate the races, that's what's happening. A majority of the unvaxed in the US are people of color, and they are about to be segregated...they are about to get fired and not be allowed into restaurants and stores, already happening. Its a virus, and we aren't the only hosts. It's not going away. Vax those that want it and let everyone else catch it for immunity.

I just can't understand what the naysayers are afraid of. If it wasn't for vaccines a lot of us wouldn't be here today. I have had two shots of the Pfizer vaccine and I haven't turned into a mutant.

I think some people need to educate themselves on how the covid vaccines were created to better understand the mechanism.

My friend is an antivaxxer, she doesn't believe there ever was a virus, to her, this so Called pandemic is nothing more than another flu ,,
To her, the conspiracy is the vaccine!!!

She truly believes this pandemic is all a scheme to feed the world a control substance, where we are in a "Big brother is watching" fish bowl
Orchestrated by big powers the likes of Bill Gates and Government partnered with big pharma

Yes, but about 75% are fully vaccinated, so the vast majority of cases are from those not fully vaccinated. Also those that are fully vaccinated are less likely to require hospitalization.
