We need to stop lumping "healthcare workers" into one group when discussing who is willing to get the vaccine and who is not. Many "healthcare workers" have the equivalent of a GED. We don't need their thoughts on the vaccine just because they work at a hospital.
Second, we've wasted so much time, resources and vials trying to figure out who should get vaccinated first and how we should get it to them. The goal from the start should have been (and still should be) to get as many shots in as many arms as possible.
I just got Pfizerfied (Dose 1).VA heading toward Phase 1B, which includes educators. As it turns out apparently that also includes Coaches. I was offered a vaccine slot today when Phase 1B arrives. I accepted details will follow when I find out more.
My wife got very sick off the first dose of the Moderna vaccine. It was determined she's allergic to the PEG (polyethylene glycol aka anti-freeze) used in the vaccine. Apparently 1 of every 1000 people gets this reaction and it's led to my wife telling me she's "special"As an update, my wife and I received the second dose of Pfizer on 1/8/21 and 1/11/21, respectively. MY wife incurred only minor symptoms approximately 16 hours after receiving the vaccine with mild body aches and fatigue, and resolved with few hours.
I unfortunately endured basically every recorded common symptom from the second dose. I received the dose at 8 am, then at 5 pm the same day, I started feeling lightheaded and fatigued. I already had soreness at the injection site. I began having body aches. The following day while at work, I had all those symptoms in addition to nausea. By the time I got home about 32 hours after my shot, I was extremely fatigued and began having low grade fevers. (Not going to lie, I was wondering if I had COVID and was thinking about getting tested the next day if my symptoms persist, also out of precaution I stayed away from the family and isolated myself to the basement). However just as described in the vaccine study, I woke up a little less than 48 hours after my shot, and I felt fine. Fever gone, fatigue gone, body aches gone, nausea gone. Now the only residual adverse effect from all this is my wife calling me "weak" and a "baby" and how women are stronger than men
I received my 2nd dose of Moderna vaccine yesterday (2-01-21). I was anticipating a response that would have me feeling bad for a day or two. I even planned my schedule around this.
Thus far, I've experienced no effects besides a mild soreness at the injection site. Actually, the soreness is less than what I experienced on the first dose.
In one aspect I am grateful, yet in another I'm curious why there is not a response.
They may have accidentally injected you with Worcestershire sauce.
If you develop pink eye or become a zombie, that is what happened based on my research (watching South Park)
I received the Pfizer vaccine and was expecting a more severe reaction after the second dose also. My first dose gave me a day long headache and right at 24 hours (3pm) I was so tired I had to take a 4 hour nap. After the nap I was fine. I had absolutely no reaction to my second dose. The only thing I noticed was injection site soreness - no headache, no fatigue, nothing at all like the first dose.I received my 2nd dose of Moderna vaccine yesterday (2-01-21).

I appreciate you sharing this. I guess the reactions range wider than what is being written.
FYI... My physician encouraged me to get the vaccine within 90 days because I had antibodies, which would lessen the impact of any side effects.If you experience temporary flu like symptoms after the first shot, it is likely you already have antibodies.
The first shot therefore becomes an unofficial antibody test. Not scientific.
