Completed full vaccination - What's Next

 

So finally I am done with the 2nd vaccination (Moderna).  I don't feel anything on the 1st jab. The 2nd jab was kind of a bit more dramatic in the sense that within a day after the 2nd jab I began to experience arm sore and cold shiver throughout the night.  Took fast acting Panadol every 4 hours to help reduce the pain on the arm (don't really help though). 
After 48 hours the  side effect symptoms were completely gone.
Some folks I knew didn't experience cold sweat , fever or extreme pain in the arm after the 2nd Moderna jab. I guess it depends on individual immune system.
From psychological perspective, having completed the full vaccination kind of give me a little bit more confidence and assurance  that I will not kaput so easily should I got myself expose to the virus again.  
It's interesting to note that the USA CDC mentioned no need to wear mask after full vaccination. I think this is the worst advice ever since there are plenty of real life cases to prove that people can still succumb to infection even after full vaccination.
No one knows for sure how long before we need jab against new strain of virus. I bet we will need to get booster shots down the road. So how I feel about the whole vaccination stuffs? Well, I probably go for new shots if the need arise.
