Also, the fear of experiencing side-effects shouldn’t stop you from getting the vaccine against COVID-19. Let’s not forget that the first vaccine dose offers 50 percent efficacy, while the second one rises it to 95 percent.
Therefore, if you’ve received the first dose, experienced side-effects and now you don’t want to get the second dose, you won’t be protected against COVID-19, so you ‘endured’ all those symptoms for nothing.
It’s important that people get the second dose, Powell added.

What about those of us who have had serious allergic reactions to other medications. In my case it was the Salk vaccine when I was 11 years old and I went into anaphalatic shock which resulted in giant hives the size of baseballs (both inside and outside) and cut off my ability to breath at one point. Then about 10 years after that there was a serious flu going around and we were told to take the vaccine shot for that. Again, a serious reaction. The doctor told me to never take penicillin. Also, my blood type is O positive. But the government wants all people to have the Covid vaccine and get ID cards which they will use to allow your coming and going on planes or other transportation – some say it may be necessary to show it when going to restaurants or shows. #1 why has no one told people like myself dangerous for those with high allergy reactions prior to just giving them a shot at Walmart’s or some other place without a doctor available. #2 If we cannot have the vaccine will they issue passes or are we to be locked up in our homes for years to come.
