Posted on 4 hours ago
Question: Hi, I had my 2nd Pfizer vaccine shot on 3/2/22 and wanted to know how long do I have to be concerned about side effects or possibly something going wrong from the shot. So, fat I feel nothing really wrong at all but my girlfriend was telling me a few things that I just wanted to verify from a doctor. When will I officially be out of danger from the vaccine? For some reason not wanting to really drink alot though. Any suggestions? Moving forward any thoughts on how i can avoid getting I'll since i thought i had done everything before but i still caught covid. Thanks

Brief Answer:
Low chances of adverse effects.

Detailed Answer:
Hello,

I have read your question.

Short-term possible adverse effects of anti-COVID -19 vaccine may be present up to one month after the shot.

However, in the majority of people vaccinated there are no or only mild adverse effects.

Since you didn’t have any adverse effects until now, and you had the original COVID-19 infection, it is very unlikely to experience any adverse effects after the second shot.

Avoid alcohol just to minimize the possibility of adverse effects.

Hope you found the answer helpful.

Let me know if I can assist you further.
Thanks.

If I'm to have any adverse side effects what would they possibly be? What can I do to avoid catching the virus moving forward? Can I start back exercising yet or should I wait? Can I be in the house around family without a mask or should I continue to wear a mask in the house? Any advise will be appreciated. Thanks

Hello again.

Possible adverse effects include fever, fatigue, headache, chills, vomiting, diarrhea, muscle and joint pains.
