As we all know Covid 19 has taken a huge part of our lives and we are getting closer and closer to getting rid of it. On December 11th, 2020 Pfizer’s vaccine for Covid was approved and set in motion. The first vaccine was given to an 81 year old grandmother. Since then the vaccine has been given to 4.2 million Americans. This is just the beginning. 500,000 doses of the vaccine are getting made each day. There are some side effects to getting this vaccine but thats the trade off. Some side effects you could experience are soreness at the site of the injection, headaches, muscle aches, the chills, some joint pain, and possibly a fever. No ones sure about long term effects because it hasn’t been out long but as of now it is helping to save a ton of lives and thats what matters. The pfizer vaccine is for people 16 and older. We also have a second vaccine which is called the Moderna vaccine. On December 18, 2020, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration issued an emergency use authorization for the second vaccine for the prevention of coronavirus disease. The emergency use authorization allows the Moderna COVID-19 Vaccine to be distributed in the U.S. This vaccine is for people of the age 18 and older. This is a second dose vaccine which causes more side effects. Some side effects you could experience from this vaccine are soreness at the site of injection, tiredness, headache, muscle pains, chills, joint pain and swollen lymph nodes in the same arm as the injection. They say to expect side effects after the first one but to also expect more side effects than the first one after the second one.
