Today is the first day following my 2nd Pfizer covid vaccine shot and, as sort of expected, I'm experiencing the common temporary side effects. There is the soreness in the arm that received the injection and elsewhere (shoulders, etc.) and more than usual tiredness.

Most folks who report these say the symptoms pass quickly. So I also expect all will be returning to normal over the next few days. Given my age, this may take a little longer than is the case with younger folks.

So I'm not overly concerned. But I am adjusting by dialing down my level of activity, I'm rescheduling chores, and I'm resting.

All is well, and better days are coming.

Earlier this afternoon she and I received our second (of the two-shot series) Pfizer covid vaccine shots.

Now the waiting game proceeds until we achieve “official immunity.” Some folks say that ten days after the second shot we're as immune as we can be, others say it takes two weeks until we're there. I think I'll play it safe and go with the longer estimate. That'll put May 4th as the date I can relax a little and begin mingling more in the outside world.

And the adventure continues.
