Got my first shot of the Covid vaccine today, I received Pfizer one. My arm aches a little in the place I got the shot but so far I am well and I hope I keep this way. The second one will be taken in July. New cases are increasing here among the younger generation, mainly in the Lisbon area. We were planning to visit my godmother there but we will postpone it again. Another rainy day here, we are having thunderstorms here since last Saturday, not my kind of weather. Picture of the card they gave me.

@nela13 Pfizer and Moderna are the only two that give a good protection also with the Delta mutation.

@LadyDuck yes, I read that too and Delta mutation is now the main variation of the virus.

I hope you don't have any other problems. You'd be welcome to come visit and take some sun home with you. It's 33C and sunny here.

@nela13 I can't schedule mine due to lack of vaccines. But the government said new supplies will arrive on Sunday.

I'm glad you've been vaccinated, keep your distance and always wear a mask, and stay away from crowds, because vaccines build immunity gradually

Congrats! I hope the immunization will run smoothly. By immunization I mean whatever happens after one receives the vax shot. My mother will get it tomorrow, we still don't know which "brand" that will be. I'm just waiting, I'm not excited about getting vaccinated. It isn't a matter of conspiracies, it's just that I'm not into it and I'm sure there are still vulnerable people who need it more than I do.

Congratulations on getting your first shot. I have had my first and am awaiting my second shot. I had a Pfizer shot also. Try to do some arm pumps for a few minutes before your next shot, it helped me and I didn't have any pain at all.
