Hi every one
have any of you had the pfizer vaccine yet? and if yes any side effect?
I was told by my nephrologist to have the vaccine, but still a bit worried to have it or not and is it a live vaccine?
wishing you all mery xmass and very happy and better year to come.

Got my first dose of Pfizer vaccination today in denver. No issues so far.
My transplant center advised getting labs 2 weeks after each shot. As well as the Clinimmune test after the second shot.
Hi,
What is a Clinimune test? (I never heard of it)
Thanks.
CLINIMMUNE LABS is a company in Colorado, that performs blood analysis. I imagine this test is like your monthly labs.
Ohh yes, didn't realize that it was the company name. The test helps to know the Levels of class 1 and 2 panel reactive antibodies. I had undergone plasmapherisis prior to my transplant almost 6 years ago. Therefore, my nephrologist keeps a check on these antibodies on a yearly basis.
Good to know you are doing good and being well cared for by your team.
Thank you for responding.
Oh! It is the name of the lab company, I thought it was a type of test.
Thanks for clarifying.
Completed Moderno vaccine with no issues
Good for you Michael.
Had both shots (Pfizer). Very happy to have and went fine.
Had zero ill effects - flu shot left more arm pain for me. Know plenty of nurses who have had to call out sick for a day (up to 3 from those I know) with flu like symptoms.
My Mother getting Moderna this weekend. Hoping for the same.
Good to hear it went well and I wish the same for your mother.
