Today is the day I’m going to have my first dose of Co-Vid vaccine. Truthfully, I am nervous and a little bit scared. A lot of what ifs and the news I’ve seen so far weren’t helping. I’m praying that I won’t have any type of reaction after. I’ve two more days off, which is perfect because in case I develop some fever or soreness just like the after effects of flu vaccine—I’ll have time to rest.
Update: I wrote the first paragraph hours before I left. It is now almost two hours after my first dose. So far no reaction. Way to go immune system! We arrived at the site way too early—we were told not to come in earlier than 15mins. I shouldn’t’ve waited because there were 10 or so people who were waiting for their turn before me. I probably waited for good 10-15mins. And while waiting I was restless and nervous as fuck. I kept looking at my phone and my surrounding to the point that I thought one of the observers saw how I was reacting and was wondering if something’s wrong with me. A little bit paranoid there.
The procedure ain’t bad, it was just like getting a flu shot. What scared me was the possibility of getting allergic reaction that is severe. Just like what I wrote above, the news about the vaccine is not helping. So far, so good. No concerns and no reactions. Anyway, I will update this again when I’m done with my second and final shot.
Stay safe, everyone!
