@ fiesty76.. When I had my in person visit with my new PCP earlier this month, they want me to take my mask off and wear a new disposable mask on that they provide or put their mask on top of mine. I had a Kn95 on and I don't want to take it off, so I put the disposable mask on top of mine.
@hopeful33250 what unusual reaction did you have after the first shot? Hope it goes smoothly for you at the 2nd shot.

My reaction or side-effect was not one that was listed so it was probably unique to me. I had Shingles in September 2020 and had a lot of right-sided flank pain. A few days after my COVID vaccination I began to have discomfort similar, but not as bad, as the Shingles pain. There were pins and needles pain and the prickly feeling, but there were no lesions or rash to indicate a recurrence of Shingles. It was all on the right side (like it was in September). My neurologist suggested that since the virus that causes Shingles stays dormant in your body, the vaccination probably triggered the pain. The pain only lasted a few days and I took a Gabapentin one day which helped.
