Hello everyone,

How are you today? 

The pharmaceutical groups Pfizer (USA) and BioNTech (Germany) announced on Monday 9 November that their vaccine candidate is 90% "effective" in preventing Covid-19 infections, according to preliminary results of their large-scale phase 3 trial, which is still ongoing. 

What do you think about this? Do you plan to be vaccinated as soon as the COVID-19 vaccine is on the market? 

Feel free to discuss and share in the comments below!

Take care,

Courtney

@lesmal‍ 

You have been ready and waiting for this for a long time. At last the day is here. Good luck. You will be fine

@laney365‍ You will be fine. Glad your turn has come. I never had any side effects at all other than slightly sore arm on the first day. I was fine from next day on. Good luck

@laney365‍... Hope you feel better soon.

I had my covid booster today (Moderna) and just got a headache and tired at the moment.

So far no sore arm, but will give it a few days. I'm so pleased I've now had it done.

Take care and keep safe.

Feel much worse today both of my hips and knees are so painful.         When I had the jab the nurse went to push the plunger and pulled it off the needle which she put back on with the needle in my arm.  OUCH 😣 Thought they had better training than that!        Hopefully be a lot better tomorrow x

@lesmal‍ 

Glad yo had it done. I am sure you will be fine. the headache will pass and the sore arm may or may not come.  YOu are better protected. Take care and stay safe.

@laney365‍  

So sorry you had such a bad experience receiving the Booster. They are calling every one off to give the booster doses as fast as they can, and may be a lay person, not trained well enough gave the booster to you. I hope you will be feel better soon and your pain in your knees and hips improve.

Take care and stay safe

@nineteen_gale‍... Thank you. Its been a rough day and the pain in my arm started last night. I've spent most of the day sleeping, as I'm tired and got like flu symptoms, ie aches and pains, chills, nausea, etc.

Hopefully all will be normal in a day or two. 

@laney365‍... Hope you feel better soon. I've not felt well today at all and understand the aches you're going through.
