Vaccines from Moderna and Pfizer-BioNTech are slowly but steadily becoming available in the United States, and if you’re eligible to receive one in your state, you may be headed to a vaccination appointment soon. Preparing to receive your dose — whether it’s your first or second — can make your vaccination and the following days go as smoothly as possible. Here are some things to keep in mind before you go.
Preparing for reactions and side effects

Like all vaccines, those from Moderna and Pfizer come with a risk of reactions and side effects. (Reaction refers to symptoms that commonly occur after vaccination, while side effects are unexpected and rare adverse health effects resulting from vaccination.)

Not everyone who gets vaccinated will experience reactions or side effects. The most common reactions for both vaccines include pain, swelling, and redness at the injection site and chills, tiredness, and headache elsewhere in the body — essentially, feeling like you’re sick with the flu. Fever, chills, tiredness, and headache are most common after the second dose. (For everything you need to know about reactions and side effects and how they may differ by age group, I highly recommend the excellent Covid-19 vaccine FAQ Tara Haelle wrote for Elemental.)

You can prepare for a sore arm and discomfort at the injection site by being ready to take an over-the-counter drug like ibuprofen, acetaminophen, or an NSAID after your vaccination, but discuss it with your physician first. There isn’t any research that supports taking these drugs before vaccination, and some experts don’t recommend it. After vaccination, you can ease discomfort in a sore arm by applying a cool washcloth to it and exercising it. In case you have a fever after getting vaccinated, be ready to drink plenty of fluids and dress lightly.

It’s also a good idea to check with your physician to make sure that any medication you are taking will not interfere with the vaccine.

As Haelle noted in her FAQ, since the second dose sometimes elicits a stronger reaction, some experts recommend scheduling your appointment on a Friday or taking the next day off work. But remember that all of these reactions are normal, will resolve in a few days, and shouldn’t deter you from getting vaccinated.

One side effect that’s been documented in a small number of people is a severe allergic reaction, which I’ll discuss below.
What to know about allergies

A very small number of people have experienced a severe anaphylactic reaction to the vaccine. According to a statement from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) reported by STAT News on January 22, the rate of anaphylaxis is 2.1 cases per million doses of the Moderna vaccine and 6.2 cases per million doses of the Pfizer vaccine. Anaphylaxis after vaccination is considered a rare event.

If you have a history of anaphylaxis or immediate allergic reaction, prepare by reading the CDC’s guidelines on who shouldn’t receive the vaccine. The American College of Allergy, Asthma, and Immunology (ACAAI) recommends that people with a history of anaphylaxis, mast cell disease, or concerns about receiving the vaccines should schedule a visit with an experienced allergist or immunologist before getting vaccinated.

Your daily allergy medication routine shouldn’t change. According to ACAAI, you should take your routine medicines on vaccination day, and if you don’t normally take daily allergy medication, the CDC doesn’t recommend pre-medicating before getting the vaccine. There isn’t any research suggesting that over-the-counter or prescription allergy medication will interfere with the effectiveness of the vaccine.

Know that the CDC has published guidance for vaccine providers on how to monitor people who receive the vaccine. It recommends that people with “a history of an immediate allergic reaction of any severity to a vaccine or injectable therapy and persons with a history of anaphylaxis due to any cause” should be monitored for 30 minutes after getting the vaccine (all other people are monitored for 15). Providers have been directed to have a number of treatments on hand in case of anaphylaxis, including an epinephrine-prefilled syringe or autoinjector (EpiPen), H1 and H2 antihistamines, and a bronchodilator.
Caring for yourself and others after vaccination

While flu-like symptoms should go away after a few days, you should contact your doctor if they don’t resolve or if they are worrying. If you’ve just received your first dose, remember to schedule your second dose (when available).

One of the most important things to prepare for is to continue social distancing and wearing a mask after getting vaccinated. As I wrote previously on the Coronavirus Blog, doing so is crucial to keeping yourself and people around you safe until more people are vaccinated. This will help prevent the spread of variants and achieve vaccine-mediated herd immunity, at least for now.

Mr John…she stammered.shhhhh I said. If I tell your mom you were actually f****** on my couch she’ll beat you ground you or? Yeah I know. How can we make this right? Well if I won’t tell you can’t tell. Come over here and sit on my lap. No straddle my legs and face me. Are we going to really f***? No sweetie. You are 13, and I’m not insane. But a little foreplay to give you your o***** would be a nice way to end your night. She edged up to me , saw the huge bulge in my pants. And spread her thighs apart and nestled her tight little a** on my legs. God she was warm. I parted her blouse snd palm ribbed her n******. A minute later she closed her eyes and leaned backwards, her tongue lolling in her mouth. I Slowely began sucking and licking her now hardening n******. Slurp. Slurp. I suckled her tips. Oh oh Mr John you really know how to s*** n******. She panted. Now I ran my fingernails from her spread open knees to her very inner thighs. She felt terrific and parted her thighs wider. I smelled her young eager p**** aroma. It was intoxicating. You smell so fresh sweetie. My name is Lizzie. Call me Lizzie. As I messaged her thighs she respread hrr thighs. Am I all drippy? She asked. I moved my fingers to the edge of her vaginal flesh. Yes swee Lizz you are a little slippery. Met I touch your very soft p**** Lizz? Yes yes I ran my fingers over the slushy slit. From a** hole to her c*** I let my fingers fiddle and wiggle in between her inner and outer lips. Nearly virgin as she was the flesh was delicate and lovely. My fingers and c*** tingled as I played with her p****. She gasped a little. Oh oh oh press on my c******* Mr John. Rub it gently. It’s all on fire down there.what’s on fire? My hot p**** Mr John. I know Lizz but it will get much much hotter . I felt up between her inner lips and gently rubbing her buttonwatcher her face contorted as she bit met bottom lip. Ooooo ooooo. Ooooo she slobbered. Yes honey let it go let it grow wild up into your belly and spread. I will get much more exciting. Her 13 yr old p**** enraged my c*** snd it twitched maddeningly. I caressed the wet button slowly and drew circles around it then tapped it seversl times. Then pinched it and then pressed on it. Then gripped the tiny button. Oh oh oh I’m i’m ( I stopped all movements. She unstiffenefd her torso and nearly collapsed. No no no don’t stop. Just for a minute. Your climb up will be even better. Oh s*** oh s*** I have to peepee. Go ahead let it come. She let loose snd peed into a cup i ok held. I watched her urinate and nearly blew my wad. She finished. I wiped her puss and slid my finger to her wet c******* again. Yes yes yes as I rolled my finger over the now very tender c*** I lifted her Fanny closer to my chest. Now my hot breath covered her c***. But also bared her tiny button slowly and hole. It was pink and puckered. Tho delicious looking I chose to use my other finger to eiggle it over her sss hole. She jiggled her a** cheeks trying to tighten them, but I pulled them apart and slid my index finger up into her lovely little yielding hole as fsr as I could. Once fullly inserted I wiggled it round and round and round. She gagged a bit but I gently lifted the hood on her c*** and sucked it into my lips. My waiting tongue began licking her c*** faster and faster. She grunted. She cried out as her wave of lust built up. As I sucked harder she waved her arms skyward snd grabbed her n******, pinching hard. A wild scream may have begun, but no sound was emitting from her gasping mouth. Her a** rippled and bounced on my legs. She stiffened and then looking into my eyes she collapsed against my body. Gasping for oxygen she sagged into e***** exstacy. Oh god oh god. I hugged her tiny body warmly. Was it good for you Lizz? I asked.
