Hi everyone. I’ve been doing a lot of research on the Pfizer/Moderna COVID-19 vaccine as well as attended the briefings on it here at work. I wanted to share what your should expect when getting vaccinated because I feel like the more people know, the more prepared they’ll be

Both vaccines are over 90% effective and every trial has labeled them as safe so you should definitely get them. Both require two doses roughly 2-3 weeks apart. It is important you get BOTH shots or else your immunity won’t last the year. This will be a yearly process.

That being said, It isn’t going to be a walk in the park. Expect heavy flu-like symptoms after getting each dose. Most test participants say that these symptoms go away within 1-2 days. You’ll be fine but please don’t be scared after the 1st shot. Go get the second one.

I can’t stress enough how much you need that second dose. Your immunity will wane and become null within a few months without it. That second dose extends immunity for up to a year. Remember two shots. 2-3 weeks apart. Expect heavy flu symptoms after both dose.

This is the biggest fear we have over here. That people will only get the first dose and not bother with the second one because they either don’t know or are to scared after experiencing the symptoms from the first one. Make as many people aware as you can.
