That I have for every vaccination. The arm where I get the shot is tender for a few days. I got the Moderns series, and I have to admit that the tenderness lasted longer than usual and I did have a moment of actual pain. Just a moment, but it surprised me.

I haven't had any test to prove that I have immunity. I do take medicines that suppress my immune system. But I have no problem wearing a mask. Even if I were sure I was safe, I would still wear one wherever they are required, or even recommended.
