Astra Zeneca. I felt flushed & had zapping sensations in back of head on Thursday night. A mild headache Friday and Saturday. Today -nothing so far.

Aah - the Oxford vaccine, which is a "traditional," vaccine vs. the new mRNA vaccine technology.

Some people are more comfortable with traditional technology because it's been around for decades or a hundred years or whatever so they trust it's safety. Personally, I *WANT* one of the new mRNA vaccines. Why? Because they're around 95% effective whereas the AstraZeneca one is approx 82-84% effective after 2 doses 3 months apart. Still, far above the desired threshold for a vaccine to be considered viable & effective -> in any prior time to Now 82-84% would have been considered an amazing result. But, since we have brand new mRNA vaccines that can achieve ~95% effectiveness, that's what I want for myself if I have the choice. We won't likely get a menu choice as to which vaccine we get - it'll be what's available, I'm sure. So far BC is getting the Pfizer & Moderna vaccines - both of which are mRNA. I'm not sure if we have contracts for purchases of other ones or if everything BC is getting is mRNA. *googles* So far ONLY the Pfizer and Moderna covid vaccines are approved for use in Canada.

There was no choice as to which type I had . Hence it was not a case of being uncomfortable about the mRNA vaccine .

Fair.

I don't imagine we will get a choice, either. And in the end, getting it at all asap matters most, not which one you get.

I still hope I get an mRNA one, though!

My bride and I got our first shot today. The Pfizer vaccine. We were both characteristically serious frivolous.

She's amused we're supposed to go back to get poked again on the Ides of March.

They asked me whether it was okay to inject it in my left shoulder. I just said "Anywhere above the waist!"

My mom got her first dose earlier today and she has felt no side effects.

My NT sister and I will be receiving ours in early July.
