2nd dose is in me now
Just wanted to share a happy dance that I got my second vaccine dose. I had posted here because I had such trouble with my first AZ dose - both in terms of anxiety, and feeling quite ill after it (nothing serious, but also not fun).
I had to take some time off work for mental health reasons a couple of weeks ago, and my husband happened on an earlier second dose appointment, and I couldn't go through with it then. But by the end of my time off, I was having some serious vaccine envy. So I started getting on end-of-day lists and such. Today, I got an email while I was in a meeting that there was a walk-on clinic on my way home, and even though I was really nervous I was just ready to do it. So I did.
I'm really tired now, but largely because I was so hyped up and anxious before the shot. I told my boss (because she was the one who sent me the email) and she is already telling me to take it easy tomorrow.
So I had AZ as my first dose, and Moderna as my second. I have some minor HA happening right now, but nothing like before.
For all those afraid of getting their shot... you can do this. It can be a bit of a rough ride, but it's going to be okay. You got this.
