First dose was hell..now what?

Posted , 3 users are following.

My first dose of the pfizer covid vaccine was in April 2021. I got very ill that afternoon and stayed ill for 7 days. I got so sick I vowed I wouldn't get the second dose. I haven't yet. Now, because of the delta threat and I am travelling from Al to Ca with work. I really need full vaccination. I'm scared to get that sick again. Should I try a different manufacturer vaccine? Can I do anything to help? I hear 2nd dose is worse. I can't handle worse but dont want to gamble with covid and my life

    check with your doctor because there’s a large gap from April of your first dose until now. I believe the second dose is supposed to be within a certain timeframe from the first dose. don’t switch vaccines unless approved by your doctor.

    But first find out if you’re still within the time frame.

    you and your doctor have to make the decision about whether or not to get the second dose , And make the right decision for you. Take care

    there is also a booster aswel (third injection) coming out soon.then yearly injections from there. maybe think about how ill its made you and if you can continue to have them. i hope the next one is not as bad for you.
