Slice of Life: Covid Vaccine Haikus

Received second dose
Twelve hours later it hit me
Slept all day and night

Fatigue and achy
body did not want to move
Chills and night sweats too

Phew! Better today
Fever broke, not so achy
That was fast, thank god.

I did get to do my normal online work day today. Definitely still have fatigue, but I think that is now my autoimmune response to the immune system reaction to the shot. So happy to have the vaccine and to know I will be fully immunized before having to go back to work in the school building on April 12th.

This post is a part of the 14th annual Slice of Life Story Challenge. After a few years away, I am challenging myself to write every day in March this year, along with an amazing community of other bloggers. You can find our writing linked up on the Two Writing Teachers blog.

  1. I’m happy that you are happy. I was achy after the 2nd dose. Like you, I thank God the achiness did not last long.

  2. I hope you feel fully better soon! That second dose was no joke! We have all come such a long way. Who would have thought a whole year would have gone by? I also hope you have a great return to school!
