My wife teaches in Berkeley at a small independent school and they were very proactive about monitoring vaccine availability in the area since they wanted to safely reopen the campus. I qualified first because of my age, my wife got in a week later since she teaches in Berkeley. We both got our second Pfizer shots the first week of March. By the time I went to bed I started feeling stiff and sore and ended up with five of the 8 side effects the next day. Felt like I had been hit by a truck, fatigue, chills but no fever, stiff and sore all day. I spent the day sleeping and felt better by day 2. My wife was fatigued but nowhere near as sick as I felt. Her school also requires regular testing, we have been tested every two weeks since late December and will continue to get tested until the end of the school year.
Even though we are fully vaccinated we still feel reluctant to gather with a group of people we don't know. Going to take some time to reintegrate but at least we are starting to crawl out of the tunnel. Hope everyone that wants to get vaccinated can get their shots ASAP. Meanwhile, stay safe!
