My medical office staff and I got our second dose of the Moderna vaccine last week. The second dose caused muscle pain, body aches, fever and shaking chills. I stayed in bed the next day. I have never had this severe a reaction to a vaccine. Everyone is doing fine and were better in 2 days.
Is this vaccine for everyone? NO. Am I glad I got it? Yes. Each person needs to be able to make their own decision. We did not require employees to get it.

So how will most people 60 and up handle muscle pain, body aches, fevers, shaking and chills? Especially if they have pre-existing medical conditions? Could those side effects in some cases be deadly to people in poor health?
That is the problem in a nut shell. Who is too old/sick/frail to safely get the vaccine? I am 61, healthy and handled the side effects well. There are 100 y/o people who will handled the side effects well. But, some frail 85 y/o may tilt and get into a downward spiral. We don't yet know who should not get the vaccine.
