1 Week for Pfizer. 2 Weeks for Moderna.

And technically, you are not immune. You can still get COVID-19, but your body has the tools to fight it off quickly. And, based on the UK studies, you cannot pass it on.

I read with Pfizer, the max "immunity" was after one week after the second shot with around 95% for symptematic and 87% for asymptematic.

2 days after Modern Shot#2

I feel so much better. I was feeling pretty good by 11PM last night. But Chills and fever all yesterday afternoon. I was in bed with 2 thick comforters and could just barely get my extremities to not feel cold.

Arm is just barely uncomfortable if you press on it. Other than that, I think I'm passed the worst of shot#2. Plan for a day off.

Exactly how I reacted. But you said you had a slight fever day one - my temps stayed below normal.

My source in Mississippi, home of numerous comorbidities as a Southern "Birthright" only enhanced by lifestyle choices , tells me tonight that the number of covid positive patients laid up in "the largest trauma center in The State" is get this.... less than 10 (TEN), but more than 5 (FIVE).

Got my 2nd Moderna shot Saturday at 2 PM. Midnight I was not feeling well. Sunday I felt pretty bad all day. Fever, tired, headache and nothing tasted good. Laid down two times during the day and went to bed at 10 PM instead of my normal midnight. Feeling better today. Not 100% but I am functional. I knew a reaction was possible but I hoped for the best. Oh well, it is still worth it to be past it.

Silver makes people turn blue.
