I never realized the AZ doses were so far apart..April 1-June 22. What is that, 6+ weeks? Moderna is 4 and Pfizer is 3 here in the US. I've had both doses of Moderna. 2nd shot was scheduled the day of the first shot, as I believe all are for the most part here.Here (UK) we have reached aged 16+ with certain health conditions in working our way through the priority list. I have received my appointment for 1st April with the 2nd dose appointment for 22 June, at my local pharmacy. It will be Astra Zeneca. I am very relieved! Most people I know only received their 1st appointment with no date for the second (initially), so I think this might be a new thing to book both appointments at the same time.
I don’t know if we have a follow-up monitoring app like yours; I hope so.

Hope they have an app for you as well. It's comforting in a way, almost like a doc checking in to make sure all is well.

My husband and I are homebodies due to the pandemic. I am so careful as to where I would go. Before I could get my 1st vaccine, I fell and broke my femur, and required hospitalization and surgery. I wore a mask at the hospital even when I slept. On the night before I was discharged, a travel nurse was assigned to me. We made small talk and she told me she works a Covid-19 ICU and was pulled to the ortho hospital for the night. The nurse declined her vaccine because it was too new. I thought, my luck, I’ve been careful for 11 months. Thankfully, I was safe.It's very severely painful, and never really lets up until the stent is out...
I had 3 within 2 months.
My brand new husband filed for divorce, said he didn't realize he was marrying a " Chronically ill young wife".
I got the divorce action stopped, because he was nuts over " someone he loved being sick" and didn't even act like a teenager, much less a man in his 30's.
He's still a DB about illness and severe pain though.
I got him back once. He had a disc fused in his cervical spine in Dallas. I hired a limo to and from the hospital. All part of my plan.
Once he got inside the house, doing just fine, I didn't lift a finger to do a thing for him. It was " Ride hard or die" time for HIM that time.
Yeah, a COVID vaccine is pretty much a gnat flying around compared to the pain of kidney stones and procedures to remove them and then keep the urinary system open and functioning for about 2 weeks each time.
COVID was about on par with the renal problems because I had pain pills for the renal surgeries, but no one in their right mind who could stay at home during COVID would have taken a respiratory depressant medication, you know?
In the end, it all balances out, and I've had very robust health for many years. This Reactive Airway Disease ( Asthma) from COVID will stabilize with the new meds I have, and when we are free of the masking, I'm going to walk every day outdoors, and hike, and sit by the river and love nature's beauty.
I hope EVERYONE has made plans for little happy things to do after the masks are off, whenever it's safe to remove them... We'll know, b/c the pandemic will be over.
I’m 5 days post 2nd Moderna and no had side effects other than very mild soreness at injection site. The first shot was way more painful. My son got his 2nd Pfizer, had no soreness but he was achy and tired for about 24 hrs...
Neighbor reported similar side effects with 2nd Pfizer shot and said that he basically spent 24 hours in bed. Late twenties dental hygienist had the Moderna and said she felt terrible for 12-24 hours following her second sh- achy, dizzy, fatigued but said she would go through it again to be protected from Covid. DH and I get our 2nd Pfizer shots next week and hope we have only mild side effects, if any.
I wish you all the best, Bette - and it's clear that even a mild reaction shows the vaccine is working. Most people I know aren't have a hard time with the second one, and I guess I was just being optimistic, as I usually am. I slept 20 of the last 24 hours! I'm usually an insomniac - but sleeping through most of it was definitely the best plan I could have hatched.
Vaccine at 11:30 am, chills and fever started at 3 am, Tylenol helped very much, and now it's 3:30 (so about 12 hours after symptoms started) and I'd say I feel pretty normal (arm pain, brain fog, that's about it, just like the first shot).
