If anyone has had the shingles vaccine that also is a two part shot. Everybody that I talked to said that one usually had a reaction to the second shot but I was lucky once again and had no issues. Maybe my old body got acclimated to being a pin cushion in the USMC and an occasional shot now and then doesn't faze it.

We had the old shingles vax and then the new one. We were prepared for side effects for the second series but no problems.....
I've been thinking about getting that, Mike. I guess maybe I ought to. I'm not too worried about reactions. But it's not covered by my insurance and I haven't wanted to spend the money.
We dont talk politics here but at the rally I am getting on my high horse and spouting off about medicare supplimental/HMO medical insureance, so bring ear plugs. Vaxes are a no brainer...this is what happens if you get shingles in your eyes.

Had my first Moderna back in January with no side effects. The second round of Moderna gave me a day of the "chills" and a low grade fever. That lasted about 24 hours and I was fine after that. Last week I received my second pneumonia shot and that one had me snoozing in my recliner for the rest of the day. Here in Georgia the vaccine was opened up to anyone over 16 last week. We have a large number of anti-vaxers around here so the state is routing most of the vaccines to the major metro areas where folks are wanting to take it.
Saw on the news that the J&J version hit a bump due to production issues.
There are so many anti vaxers and those with "Vaccine hesitancy" here that they have to keep lowering the age to get the vax in arms or loose future doses. Mark my words. In six weeks, anyone who wants a shot can get one...same day.....AND...I think you will be able to shop around and get the one you want. J and J or Pfizer/Moderna. You heard it here first.
I was looking forward to some more extensive riding this summer after COVID interrupted my riding last summer. But with the variants that are emerging, the continuing unknown characteristics of COVID, CDC continued mask recommendation, the refusal of people to get vaccinated, and who knows what CDC recommendations and local restrictions will apply this summer my riding plans remain uncertain. I now plan one-step-at-a-time. I think that's what I posted last year.
I hope that the feral govt goes the Israel route and has a vax passport for travel, etc. That pushed everyone over the edge there and they are approaching less than 5 deaths a day. Sure, a new variant can come along and take hold...or a new covid -3 could come along....but I dont have many years left...I am gonna ride. And look for outdoor cafes.
Let me chime on the vaccination subject.
I have a qualifying pre-existing condition and a doctors recommended to get the shot before anyone flys off the handle.
I got my fist shot 1.5 weeks ago of the Pfizer COVID vaccine. The next day I had serve injection site soreness and fatigue all day long. I worked from home and I was having a hard time to stay focused and awake all day. I took a nap after work and I felt a lot better after waking up from that nap.
Only one nap? I took two each! That told me the old immune system still works.....now that its the under 50 crowd that is going into the hospitals, I am gonna travel....just not on airplanes yet. Real masks are now available though.
