Don't remember which manufacturer you said you got, but my first shot of Moderna gave me a sore shoulder for a couple days while the second shot did the same along with some mild flu like symptoms for just as long. |
I've only had 1 jab of pfizer vaccine, but that was basically just 1-1,5 days of a very slight sore arm.
I can deal with getting minor flu like symptoms for that long, if its really nothing worse than that lol.
I just dont want to deal with getting covid (which afaik, I havnt had yet).

She got Pfizer both times. They say it's safe and maybe even more beneficial to mix and match them, Moderna as the second shot. I'm just wondering if the second dose is different, more potent maybe. Or if they're simply separating appointments to get more first doses out. They ran out of Pfizer today where my wife was. She was one of the last ones to get Pfizer, but they still had plenty Moderna left. |
In denmark its 4 weeks between shots (atleast it was in my case).
I think I read somewhere that it needs to atleast be 3 weeks (any less is not optimal), and that upto 3-4 months, waiting longer usually produced better immune responces. Hence some saying, there could be benefits from waiting abit longer than 3 weeks (at the cost of risking, getting covid19 during the wait instead).
So if you have to wait like 3 months between jabs, that should be fine.
Yes, I think longer waits between the 2 jabs, will result in more "violent" reactions, which in turn also means immunity levels will be higher afterwards.
