@chezp169, This is indeed a very important decision and only you can make it. I get my second shot of Pfizer tomorrow. I am worried about it, but I want to be able to see my friends and eat in restaurants. I have lots of other medical issues, as do many of this group. If we gathered a list on all of our maladies, wouldn't that blow someone's mind? I believe tomorrow is also my last chance. I am taking it and I wish you the best as you make this critical decision. I do wish there had been a choice so I could take the J & J. Ah well, I am thankful I have this opportunity with Pfizer. Warm regards, @joybringer1

Thank you for replying. so I was just told that the first shot does not build antibodies we need both, I have a lot to think about.

Joy, I totally agree with all of you who are reluctant to get their 2nd shot; I honestly don’t know what I would decide if I knew then what I know now. On one hand you have to consider husband, family, friends etc. because of uncertainty re: new strains and effectiveness of existing vacs, also desire for more freedom socially and less fear of contracting the virus; on the other hand there is the chance your health will suffer and pain could increase and you may be worse off than before in comparison to a possibly benign response to contracting COVD. Very hard choice but I might lean towards waiting if that is a viable possibility. We’ll still all be wearing masks for a while anyway. I am still not back to pre-vac. symptoms and my 2nd shot was Feb.10, I am better but some changes remain, I’m hoping they too will resolve. Helen
