Here goes...

Since the announcement was made last December that vaccination for our country would start, I have been praying for an answer as to whether we should take it. While some were rejoicing that teachers would be on the list of priority people who will be receiving the shots, I was in two minds. Deep down, I strongly believe that C19 would go away, that is when the world gets things right. Yet at the same time, I am looking at how countries have been handling the pandemic and see that that is not going to happen any time soon. :( 

My prayers didn't yield an answer for months but God did give me a sign and told me to go ahead. This came after much anxiety and agony in the early days of March. So with prayers from close friends, I put my name down for an appointment.

The wait time was short although there were over 20 people ahead in the queue. 

I asked if I could take a photo of the shot. A series of questions were asked at the registration counter and the next appointment was scheduled. Then I was led to a booth where the same set of questions was asked again. I guess they just had to be certain before sticking the needle into the arm. It was over before I knew it - just like an ant bite. 

Looking pretty tired after the jab. Then I was ushered to an observation area where I had to be for 30 minutes.  

After 30 min, we walked up to the counter where we were given our "discharged" papers - a vaccination card which had our details and the name of the vaccine that we had taken. We didn't feel anything unusual after - soreness of the area where the shot was at and that was it. 

The arm became a lot ore painful the day after actually and lifting it to open an overhead compartment was slightly more difficult. We felt tired and just wanted to nap more. 

Will update again when we go for our second dose. - 13 March 2021

We went for our second jab on 3 April - this time round, there weren't much of a queue. We showed the appointment/ vaccination letter that was issued after our first shot and waited our turn. Similar to the first time, we were asked a series of questions and more importantly, we had to state the side effects we had. 



Us, sitting our 30-minute observation out. At that point in time, we didn't feel anything - no soreness of the arm where the jab was, actually we didn't even feel the pinch of the needle. No headaches, nothing. 

I did fall ill the next day - fever, body aches, the soreness of my arm was worse than the first time and I was exceptionally tired. I was out for 2 whole days while Daddy came down with a mild fever in the evening. His recovery was a lot faster - by Monday he was up and about as if normal, while I was still trying to sleep my aches away.


So concludes our C19 vaccination journey. Word has it that it may be an annual thing now and honestly I am not thrilled about it at all.
