Glad you were able to get vaccinated Jeff. I feel your situation. I had the Pfizer and had a bit of a sore arm but nothing like what my husband or son experienced after the vaccines. What dose were you at when you received your vaccine (s)? I was at 9 I think. I’m still quite careful, masking indoors, no dining inside (or much dining out for that matter), mostly outside visits and walks. Wish there was a way to know if we mounted a response. Only time and research will tell. I heard of a NIH study being done right now on immuno suppressed folks (like us) but it’s in progress.

I was on 10 for the first (April) and 8 for the second (July). No reaction to either, not even a sore arm. My wife has Leukaemia and she had some issues. A very sore arm down to the elbow that lasted nearly two weeks and severe heart palpitations for over a week with the first and only a mild upper sore arm for the second. Speaking with her specialist, he said while it would not have been pleasant for her he was hopeful she may have produced at least some antibodies, although from current studies possibly very little, if any. We had already decided no matter what, we were staying masked outdoors and continuing to do everything we were doing at the height of this China virus. Prof Seymour (her specialist) agreed to still be extremely careful and to stay masked wherever possible. We too do not eat out or socialise very much. The occasional takeaway when it’s my turn to cook 😉. Sounds like we do much the same thing Karen. Keep you and yours safe and take care.
