Would you participate in a Covid vaccine trial?
Comments (28)I would totally do it, if I qualified. I would love to help our country on the road back to normal! I don’t think I would qualify for an efficacy study, though. I think in my area they were looking for people who might have a really good chance of being exposed (i.e. college students, teachers, etc.) Since I don’t work outside of the home, and I live in a little town with low numbers...I don’t think I’m the best candidate....See MoreAny side effects from your COVID vaccine?
Comments (27)The first shot I had sore injection site, my hip hurt, and swollen lymph nodes for a day. The second shot no swollen lymph nodes, but I ached all over for two days. But I have reactions to everything I take. Several other co-workers had NO reactions either time. Most people feel few side effects. A small percentage do. I would do it all over again if it means a lesser, or non, reaction to getting COVID. A temporary pain for long term protection!!! PSA: do NOT take pain medication before this vaccine. After is ok. It's common practice for other vaccines, but not for this one. Several sites will give you the information, but here's one link (https://www.aarp.org/health/drugs-supplements/info-2021/pain-relievers-covid-vaccine.html) I work in medical research....See MoreDid you switch arms for your second Covid shot?
Comments (29)""Dominant arm" is only used more if you are what: writing/pitching/throwing...I would say most of the time my right arm is very much doing what my left arm is. They sort of work in tandem....I presented my nurse with the arm closest to her. Will repeat that for shot #2. NO way to know today how we will be seated." I'm very right handed and do little or nothing with my left. it's usually just resting. I think that's true of most people, they don't typically work in tandem. As to which side is accessible for an injection, a left-handed friend drove himself to a large mega-site vaccine operation taking place in a parking lot. He wanted the shot in his right arm and the person administering the shot said "no problem, slide your seat back, twist your body, and I'll be able to do that". If that can be done with a person confined in a car seat, any other situation (including in a room) can be easily accommodated....See MoreCOVID vaccines and shingles
Comments (25)<There are reports of skin reactions over arms, trunk, abdomen, also showing up about 5-7 days; however, not published yet.> I had this reaction, including rashes on the tops of my feet, and they showed up about 3-5 days after my vaccination and lasted more than two weeks before subsiding. I mentioned this to the technician when I got my second shot, and she told me that this is a common reaction and that I should wait 30 minutes instead of 15 minutes after my shot before leaving the building. After my second shot, the rashes have gotten worse again, but not as bad as with the first round. I was told to take Benedryl for the rash. At first she told me to take Claritin, but I told her that I have an allergy to that. If I take Claritin for 5 days straight, I develop schizophrenic symptoms, with what would be paranoid delusions, except that I recognize them as delusions brought on by something I have taken. I get the same reaction to Erythromycin, and so I do not take that either....See MoreAlisande
