Good morning all. Hope everyone is well or at least in the process of healing🙏🏼 Ive had major concerns regarding taking the covid vaccine… especially since after the past year & finally on meds that help me to feel better so i have refused it up until now but since i work in the hospital its being mandated. Im scheduled for my first one next week & feeling anxious. Who has taken the covid vaccine? Any crazy side effects? Any advice?
I would appreciate any input. Can anyone put my mind at ease?

I've gotten both of my shots and had little to no side effects but what the nurse practitioner said, tiredness the first one and not anything with the second one Amen Amen

I had the two Moderna shots and planning on the booster. I did ok with the first, sore shoulder and tired, second I felt yuck for two or three days. I'm a little nervous about the booster but my docs, who I really trust, suggested it.

Try not to be afraid. I went straight to Disney World! No side effects. Got the 2nd--no side effects! Lucky to have gotten my booster and still no side effects!

I got the J&J vaccine in April with no side effects. I chose to get it because if I got covid it wouldn’t be as bad if I had not gotten the shot. Having a weakened immune system and cancer was a no brainer in getting it. How this helps you.
