I took her to Walgreens for the pneumonia vaccine.

I have also learned how the vaccine works.

It makes your arm hurt so bad, that you don’t notice the pneumonia.

Edit: someone asked me to change the title, and so I updated it to “yesterday”

1. Pneumonia shot was worst I had

I couldn’t sleep on that side for two nights. Quite painful.

[jberryhill]

11. Yep

She’s definitely not sleeping on my side.

[Recursion]

32. In 2003 I got the anthrax and smallpox shots on the same day, same arm

I was walking in circles for a week. The corpsman kept saying how we should ignore the rumors, it's perfectly safe... but don't handle any food for the next 48 hours.

[vercetti2021]

2. Ahhh...

You might want to change your title. Gave me the impression that your wife was shot with a gun

[jberryhill]

5. You should have seen the people there

I had scheduled an appointment, so when we got there I said, “I’m here to get my wife shot” and people gave me the weirdest looks.

[LuckyCharms]

3. Do you know how long it takes after receipt of the shot...

before you become protected?

I'm considering getting one very soon.

Thank you.

[jberryhill]

4. I don't know

She’s been cussing me out all day, so I’ll let you know when I’m safe.

If you get it tomorrow, it kicks in a day sooner than it you get it the day after tomorrow.

[cwydro]

12. ...

[oregonjen]

6. I had the first dose of the shingles vaccine and it HURT!

For 4 days, pain and rash at the injection site. Body felt really tired, too. Not looking forward to the second dose.

Glad your wife got vaccinated for pneumonia. My turn is coming soon for that!

[jberryhill]

7. Well, you're going to have to wait a while for your turn

Since I don’t think she’s divorcing me anytime soon. But I’ll let you know.

[marlakay]

13. I got the shots in the fall

My first was bad too, I dreaded the second but it wasn’t as bad.

[jberryhill]

21. My wife says the same thing about her husbands

[Demovictory9]

8. you are bad.

[jberryhill]

9. I hear that a lot

[Demovictory9]

10. love your cow wearing a mask

[PoindexterOglethorpe]

14. I am glad you were being cute with your title.

I was honestly terrified I'd see a truly tragic story of a shooting.

Hope her arm is better real soon.

[Frasier Balzov]

15. Clickbait.

Shameless. Or should I say shameful.

[cwydro]

18. Worked though, didn't it?

[Beringia]

19. Exactly

[jberryhill]

46. Sorry

[Beringia]

47. That's funny (not sarcasm)

[raccoon]

16. It made my arm hurt for days when I had it last fall. Nt

[Vinca]

17. Perfect description of the pneumonia vaccine.

[Tracer]

20. I've had the pneumonia shot, but

I think that it is only protective against bacterial pneumonia, not viral pneumonia.

In any case, I've had pneumonia twice and it's not fun. One bout took my usual 130 lbs down to 112.

[I_UndergroundPanther]

39. I had double pneumonia

And didn't know I had it.
I hardly ever get sick and forgot what a fever was. By time I got to urgent care, they put me on IV antibiotics right in the back part was there for a few hours because they gave me two rounds and hydration,left with a Whopper dose of antibiotics and told if anything gets worse,to go to the ER.

I had no Idea I was that sick.

[COLGATE4]

22. Have you gotten the shots for Shingles (Shingrix) yet?

You'll wish your arm would just fall off.

[jberryhill]

23. Yeah, but I had shingles first

Having done both now, the vaccine was far better.

The shingles lesions had broken out on my inner and upper right thigh, rendering me immobile.

[COLGATE4]

64. I can't even imagine what that would be like.

Apologies for what turned out to be a bad joke.

[jberryhill]

65. No need to apologize

It's not like I'm offended by the fact that I had chicken pox as a kid and then, yep, got shingles in middle age. That's how these things work.

It hurts, lasts a bit, and goes away. Just like life itself.

[tavernier]

24. I've had both shots, and the flu shot. Sadly, they don't

protect against any Corona complications, I’ve read. But still and all, if you don’t get the other strains of pneumonia, your lungs will be in better shape if you do happen to contract Corona. It’s probably wise to get all just to keep your defenses up, I think. None of these prevent the common cold, but I haven’t had a cold in years since getting them, and of course flu shot yearly.

[jberryhill]

28. "if you don't get the other strains of pneumonia, your lungs will be in better shape"

Reducing potential comorbidities is the goal.

Of course this won't prevent covid-19 infection or complications.

Neither will aerobic exercise. But the more lung capacity you have going in...

[tavernier]

38. Yes, you said what I meant, only better.

Tanks!!!

[edbermac]

25. I've shot many women the last few years.

Photography is a great hobby.

[jberryhill]

45. Looks like a mass shooting

Ima use that next time I feel like tossing some breadcrumbs on the goldfish pond.

[flibbitygiblets]

26. clickbait, really?

[jberryhill]

29. I'm sorry to report that, yes, it is

Testing has come back positive for clickbait.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

27. Sorry to hear that.

I got the pneumonia vaccine a couple of weeks ago and it didn't hurt at all. My arm ached slightly the next day but that was about it. Maybe I'm just insensitive.

[luvs2sing]

30. Yeah, that is one painful vaccine.

The Shingrix was worse for me. I was down with severe muscle pain and fever for a week after the first shot. After the second, it was just as bad but only lasted three days.

Your humor is greatly appreciated.

[ebbie15644]

31. Shingles vaccine is the worst I've had

The shot didn't hurt but my arm did for about 10 days

[meow2u3]

34. Shingles vaccine floored me for 3 days

Not only did my arm hurt, but it also had me too tired even to cook. I could barely move.

[Greybnk48]

42. The Shingles shot felt like I was hit by a sledge hammer

3 days in a row! I could not lift my arm without pain. It serves me right since I had mocked my husband for being a big baby when he got his! Karma!

[ebbie15644]

43. I'm currently waiting for them to schedule my booster

[Sanity Claws]

33. You certainly know how to get clicks!

I have to look into vaccine to see whether I am a good candidate for it.

[jberryhill]

44. When I was younger, it was chicks

But, alas... I am reduced to being a click magnet.

[yellowdogintexas]

35. I got both in 2014 but now need the improved versions

My shingles vax was worse than the pneumonia, but not bad.

Mr YellowDog got the shingles vax a few weeks ago and was miserable for a couple of days. He thought he was coming down with flu except no fever. After he began to feel better he decided it was the vax.

Hopefully I can get them updated soon; for a long time the wait lists for the 2nd stage Shingles vax were so long that a lot of pharmacies put a hold on adding names.

[I_UndergroundPanther]

36. I got the pneumonia shot

And my arm was hellova sore it felt like a roll of quarters in the muscle where the shot was put in. I think it was the 23 strain version.

[dewsgirl]

37. OMG, gave me a heart attack.

[jberryhill]

40. Hey, start your own clickbait thread

What kind of a joint is this?

[dewsgirl]

41. LOL

[Blue_true]

48. You drama-King. Change you title. I almost creamed the back of my shorts. nt

[jberryhill]

51. You have a point

The thread is a day old, so I guess I should change it to “yesterday”

[Blue_true]

52. I run slow. I am always a day behind. nt

[jberryhill]

54. Got carried away changing the clock didja?

[Blue_true]

57. Took me two days, serious.

Actually, I forgot to change the analog clock in my car until today, when I noticed it was an hour behind. I use my phone for time, it automatically updates.

[jberryhill]

58. I start a week before and change it ten minutes a day

Then, boom, I’m on the right time and was able to ease into it.

[Blue_true]

59. I actually worked with a person that sat clocks 15 minutes ahead to

"be on time". No, it was true.

[jberryhill]

61. My wife does that

She keeps the clock in the bedroom 15 minutes ahead.

I gave up. You have to pick your battles.

[Blue_true]

62. Well, it works in their heads. Seems like chasing a merry-go-round to me. nt

[jberryhill]

63. Yah. I just keep the clock stopped at midnight

And then when I look at the clock, I just have to remember how long it’s been since midnight, and that’s what time it is.

[Just_Vote_Dem]

53. Yeah, i was worried for ya, ya big meanie

[jberryhill]

55. Okay, I changed it as noted in the OP

[KentuckyWoman]

49. Shingles shot same thing.

What do they put in those shots? Ninjas that beat you from inside???

[jberryhill]

50. Sounds like what they put in Brawndo

[guillaumeb]

56. Forced to recommend by virtue of your superb editing.

Not as superb as my editing, of course. Many people tell me that my editing is sheer perfection.

[jberryhill]

66. They are beyoootiful edits. Perfect edits.

People come up to me and say, "They are such great edits. Please, please, can we have more edits?"

[guillaumeb]

67. I just noticed the (edited) mask on your cow.

Perfect.

[VOX]

60. Getting shot with pistol REALLY hurts. Just ask this guy:

Apologies, I never tire of this classic.
