Health officials have seen a rise in what they call vaccine hesitancy because some people feel sick after their second shot.

And then they tell people and then people go, I'm not going to go get the second shot.

But you know what else makes you feel sick?

COVID makes you feel very sick.

COVID-19.

Yeah, that's the bottom line.

That's the choice.

Good morning and welcome to morning, Joe. It's Thursday, April 8. You've got a shot, right? You got the first. Yep. I got the Moderna shot on Monday. Christina and I went together. A little bit of a dead arm for the night, but feel fine now, felt fine right after. And I've heard mixed reviews on what happens after the second shot, but I think the worst I hear is you feel a little fluey for a day or so when it goes away. So I'm looking forward to getting the second one. Actually, on my birthday, a day after your birthday, Mika, May the 3rd, that will be my birthday gift, the second shot.

the flu symptoms. Yeah, no, I absolutely felt like incredible gratitude. It felt like history.

I really was amazed when I got my first vaccine.

And I was talking about it with the nurse and saying, this is incredible.

This is history.

And she agreed.

And it was, you know, kind of like something I'll remember forever.

At the same time, the second one is challenging.

And you got to do it.

The thing is, and we had a doctor friend tell us yeah

if you can try to get it in the morning and and and that's what I did got it in the morning and

had chills and little fever at you know maybe at 12 or 1 o'clock and you know by 5, by 559, I looked at my clock. I said, it's time
