I got 2x moderna in december-jan. No side effects other than injection site soreness which was not as severe as when I get my annual flu shot. My entire household also received moderna. Wife's parents didn't have ANY side effects, not even inj site soreness. On dose 1, wife had soreness and arm/shoulder stiffness and extreme fatigue 2 hours post injection, and she fell asleep at 8pm. She woke up feeling great. _________________ http://chickhearn.ytmnd.com/

8.5 month pregnant wife got her second Pfizer yesterday. She woke up in the middle of the night with extreme chills. Had to get her a thick blanket. Today she’s been super tired with a headache and more chills. Hopefully gone by tomorrow.
Thoughts on going to the dentist after being fully vaccinated?
With the exception of front-line covid treatment settings, you're safer in clinical settings (like the dentist) than you are in the general population. The PPE and protocols are all there, and they're likely all vaccinated by now. I skipped my summer visit last year, but this year I've already been (post-covid and pre-vaccination). If you want to be sure, call them and check on their status & protocols.

Does being vaccinated mean someone can’t *spread* COVID, though? Also, what about the other patients?
I haven’t been to the dentist since October 2019 and I’m also pretty sure my permanent retainer broke. _________________ Damian Lillard shatters Dwight Coward's championship dreams:

It looks to be the case that the vaccine prevents you from reaching the point that you become infectious to others, even if you are exposed. And go back to what I said about PPE and protocols. They treat everyone as a presumptive positive. The good ones do, at least.

In general they seem as safe as they can be. At least where I go. Temperature checks after walking in. Masks and social distancing. Asked to wash hands and rinse before sitting down in the dentist chair. Hand sanitizer always there at the front desk.
I've been a few times throughout the pandemic and everything seemed to go smoothly. After being fully vaccinated I wouldn't worry too much. I was more worried dropping by riteaid afterwards to pick up a prescription.

Ok, so everyone in CA is eligible starting Thursday. For those who have been through the process, What's the best way to get an appointment?
Go to MyTurn.Ca.Gov and frequently refresh (every thirty minutes) until you find an appointment. They periodically open up new ones. _________________ Damian Lillard shatters Dwight Coward's championship dreams:
Similar to the AZ vaccine. It’s great that they are taking potential issues serious, but man this is definitely going to shake confidence in that vaccine and all of the vaccines in general unfortunately.

6 cases out of 6.8 million shots.
The numbers would be different than that since so far it’s only been women aged 18-48.

Both AZ and a J&J are adenovirus vaccines, but with different vectors. With this happening in both of them, there may be a certain population that is more prone to these clots which is what they want to figure out. This shouldn’t affect confidence in the mRNA vaccines since they work totally differently, but unfortunately a lot of hesitant people are just going to read headlines and think “all covid vaccines = bad”.

The Biden administration says it has secured enough Moderna and Pfizer doses for 300 million Americans. The U.S. will be able to continue administering 3 million vaccine doses a day even without the Johnson & Johnson shot, according to the White House.

The number of people affected by the J&J vaccine is minuscule compared to those not. I'm almost certain many will not want to take the J&J because of this occurrence, especially those who didn't want to get vaccinated in the first place.

You know what else causes blood clots? Birth control pills, at much higher rates than 1 in a million. So do many other medications.
They are pausing to see if there is a common factor for this apparently very rare adverse event. So they can make people aware, tell people what symptoms to watch for.
And hearing it is also because of the way these clots need to be treated, differently than usual perhaps. So Drs know to check if someone has gotten this vaccine if they present with clot symptoms. _________________ “There is always light if only we're brave enough to see it, if only we're brave enough to be it.” --Amanda Gorman

500-1200 per 1,000,000 cases in women = 0.05% - 0.12%
Smoking:
1763 per 1,000,000 = 0.18%
COVID Infection:
165,000 per 1,000,000 = 16.5%
That pretty much puts into perspective. _________________ You thought God was an architect, now you know

I just took out my bottle of Advil:
- Increased risk of heart attack and stroke
- May cause stomach bleeds
- variance of potential reactions including wheezing, rash, shock, etc...
Everything has risks, even crap we buy over the counter and take all the time. More than 1/3 of this country has already taken at least 1 shot of these vaccines. I would place the number of reactions from those vaccinations against the numbers of almost ANY medication (Rx or OTC) that people take. _________________ So glad we gave you your flowers while you were here, Kobe.
