HampiK Posted June 16, 2021 Share Posted June 16, 2021 4 minutes ago, Surelynot said: Mild or moderate side effects from a vaccine are normal. In fact, it means the vaccine isworking and your body is learning how to fight off the real virus. It begs the question has your body reacted? Maybe it didn't work? Not sure why, but doctors do not recommend testing to see if it has worked?????? I felt where the injection was and when you touched it, I could feel it was strange.. but else I not felt anything strange. But also with other things I always a person who felt no side effects... or maybe in my feeling some small effect for me felt like nothing.. Not sure as a feeling is a feeling and can't really be measured. I never had a strong headache in my whole life but as I told what is strong headache? I have sometimes but for my feelings it's a mild one.. so therefor I never used a pain killer for headache.. I will see after the second shot, which should be begin of august (8 weeks after first shot). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, I read it every day.. and think it's a shame what's happening with the vaccine appointments here. My wife complains a lot about some persons involved with this disaster ! I first not want AZ/Sinovac.. and only registered for Moderna in October (I still have that one for myself and my wife). As we are also not that old (48 myself and 41 my wife) so we were very lucky with the appointment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I jumped in and booked the first and only appointment I could find.......... sinovac next week, if it goes ahead.......and booked for Moderna later in the year.......apparently you need a 6 month gap between different vaccines......fingers crossed.

I wish you lucky with your appointment next week (I mean that you can become it)... This my big question right now.. I already read first shot AZ second shot Pfizer for example they told should be even better than 2 shots from same vaccine... but don't know with mix of others.. or what happen if you had both shots from same vaccine and then want a second shot from another one like Moderna. I think we will hear a lot in the next few months about mixing vaccines.. and or have other vaccines Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many EU countries, and Canada, are now giving second dose mRNA vaccine to people whose first dose was AZ (at least if below a certain age) Been doing it for a while now The formal study of it is ongoing in UK 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

US CDC recommends that in the case 2nd shot is different vaccine than the 1st, should be given according to the schedule of the 1st. So for example if first dose was AZ then next dose, regardless of vaccine type, should be 4 - 12 weeks thereafter. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As soon I have my second AZ shot in August I had to wait 6 month minimum to change to moderna from AZ! Mean begin of next year earliest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No. ???? till now only confirmation that my registration is on file. They will reply as soon they have better information. Actually at the moment they can't give any dates as they don't know when the vaccine is coming. As I just wrote back to Sheryl... if the vaccine comes early I could change to moderna after my first shot of AZ.... let's hope.. hope dies the last.. but dies as well.... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beyond second dose will be a booster. booster schedule is not yet known but looks like it will be not less than 6 months, maybe longer Does nto necessarily mean any harm to getting booster sooner, just no data on it. The focus of research is on determining when a booster is needed, not on whether there is harm to getting it earlier I may end up getting a 3rd dose within 1-2 monthso f the second if I cannot solve the problem of getting roof of vaccination in US with 1st does having been given in Thailand, and AZ at that 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But whether this would enable you to get a certificate of full vaccination/ vaccinbe "passport" from Thai authorities, I don't know 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
