Doctors say CDC should warn side effects from Covid vaccine shots won't be 'a walk in the park'
Public health officials and drugmakers must be transparent about the side effects people may experience after getting their first shot of a coronavirus vaccine, doctors urged during a meeting Monday with CDC advisors as states prepare to distribute doses as early as next month.
Dr. Sandra Fryhofer of the American Medical Association noted that both Pfizer's and Moderna's Covid-19 vaccines require two doses at varying intervals. As a practicing physician, she said she worries whether her patients will come back for a second dose because of the potentially unpleasant side effects they may experience after the first shot.
We really need to make patients aware that this is not going to be a walk in the park," Fryhofer said during a virtual meeting with the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices, or ACIP, an outside group of medical experts that advise the CDC. She is also a liaison to the committee. "They are going to know they had a vaccine. They are probably not going to feel wonderful. But they've got to come back for that second dose."
Participants in Moderna and Pfizer's coronavirus vaccine trials told CNBC in September that they were experiencing high fever, body aches, bad headaches, daylong exhaustion and other symptoms after receiving the shots. While the symptoms were uncomfortable, and at times intense, the participants said they often went away after a day, sometimes sooner, and that it was better than getting Covid-19.
Both companies acknowledged that their vaccines could induce side effects that are similar to symptoms associated with mild Covid-19, such as muscle pain, chills and headache...

Crazy. The race is on and the winner gets rich. What could possibly go wrong? I wasn't planning on getting the vaccine but now that I had The Rona it is rather unnecessary.

The main argument with covid is how long your body stays immune. Right now, the health dept quotes 3 months. That's right, only 3 months. So following that logic, your vaccine may only be good for 3 months. Prepare yourself for several boosters the rest of your life.

Don't most vaccines use dead germs that can't infect you? I know some use greatly weakened versions of the disease itself where you could have some minor side effects, but these side effects really do sound like you're battling covid. You have to wonder if the vaccine will be dangerous to people with compromised immune systems.
