A little bit of exciting news…
I was recently able to get my first dose of the Moderna COVID-19 vaccine! 🎉
My partner is an essential worker who has been in a very high-risk work environment for the duration of this pandemic. Our state chose to prioritize vaccination for people in his line of work. There ended up being extra doses, as many of his coworkers declined the vaccine, so it was offered to family members of employees — which included me!
After doing research and talking with my doctor, I had no hesitation about getting the vaccine. I feel incredibly fortunate to have had this opportunity!
I had a sore arm (quite sore to be honest) and some mild body aches which were lessened with ibuprofen. Within about 48 hours, those symptoms resolved. I’ll be getting the second dose in early February, 28 days after the initial dose was given.
We’ve recently been talking about these vaccines here on the forum, so I wanted to share this news! If you have any questions about my experience so far, I’d be more than happy to answer them.
