Hate the doom and gloom still going around
Now I'm scared to have the vaccine. Why do people have to put all this stuff into my head about it killing people just before I'm going for my first shot? It's taken me months to psych myself up to have the vaccine and now people here are coming out with these stories of horrific things happening to people after having the vaccine. I have a feeling I'm going to die from the vaccine. Or have seizures. Or have my body swell up. It sounds more scarier than the virus itself.

Everything that I've seen says that what was rushed in the development of the vaccines was the funding. They still did the science. And since last December more than 150 million Americans (including me and my bride) have tested the vaccines for you (you're welcome!).
And Trump got the vaccine long before I did. He just did it in secret...he wanted to be protected, he just didn't want to admit that there was anything for him to be protected from.
I'm 66 years old and had no side-effects from the vaccine. I've had more trouble from a paper cut. That annoys me! (a) Side-effects would make the story better, and (b) side-effects would make it clearer the vaccine worked.
My bride was tired for a few days after getting the vaccine. Just in case the same thing happens for you, plan to take it easy for a few days after the shot. Taking it easy is surprisingly easy, by the way.
Please bring back some stories from when you get your shot. Did they have snacks? You get to do some people-watching while you wait 15 minutes before you leave, so was there anybody entertaining there?
Oh. Wear something that will make it easy to get to your shoulder. (When they ask where you want the shot they mean which shoulder. I just said "Above the waist".)

But it might change my brain function forever, like give me epilepsy or ME or something.
I've never heard any accounts of anything like that happening. Just stay focused and don't be afraid to express your fears to the staff when you go. If you're religious, it may help to pray that nothing bad will happen. Perhaps you can take a small stuffed toy with to squeeze - that sort of thing helps me.
I sincerely believe without a doubt you'll be telling us all about it after the jab and how you coped. My bf's folks had both their jabs now and I know his dad is 89 which is about three times your age. The people who didn't react well to the vaccine have specific comorbidities which caused a problem.
All the very best with your appointment.

Slight wooziness for half a day, a day after receiving the vaccine.
Sore arm.
Nothing serious.
I hope I don't feel unwell or woozy for too long, I've only got one day off work.
But how come both the guy and his cousin got severe reactions from the vaccine even though that sort of reaction is supposed to be as rare as getting struck by lightning on the way to collecting your lottery money?
