Just had my first COVID shot

8. Had my second shot today.

Again, my wife had hers a couple of weeks ago. That puts the gap between the first and second doses at around 12 weeks, which will hopefully produce the optimal response.

The village health centre was bustling again, and I was in and out in 5 minutes. The nurse asked about any adverse reactions to the previous shot, and I told her about my short-lived mild chill and lassitude. She said most people seem to have less severe reactions to the second dose. She said a symptom of more concern would be a headache that doesn't resolve within 3 or 4 days, in which case to contact the health centre. So far, so good.
