I plan to get the vaccine as soon as its available to me- which I do not expect to be soon- I am fortunately not in a particularly high risk group. It will likely be several months into 2021 (at the earliest) before it will be available to me- I would like it sooner of course, but I should only get it after the first responders, and folks in higher risk groups have gotten it- I will breathe a huge sigh of relief once my mother and uncles have been immunized.

Apparently the immune reaction to the second dose of the pfizer vaccine can be pretty hefty- some people get fevers approaching 104 degrees for a short period, however that is apparently a GOOD sign- that your body is mounting a strong response.

From what little I have seen the first dose gives you ~53% protection, and the second dose takes it to ~%95.
