It was a tough second dose for me also, more swelling at injection site -- HortHokie Jun 30, 2022 at 09:22 AM ET

Are you taking Tylenol? That's what my doctor recommended -- EDGEMAN Jun 30, 2022 at 09:20 AM ET

Um, how do you take 800mg of Tylenol? -- Tafkam Hokie Jun 30, 2022 at 09:28 AM ET

Blame my doctor for the recommendation? -- EDGEMAN Jun 30, 2022 at 09:34 AM ET
