Some advantage to being old?
I don't know any of the people involved, please do not take this personally.

There is likely an advantage to being larger. They give the same dose to a 240 lb male as a 120 lb female. The few people who I know that had problems are all less than 130 lbs, age varies.

I'm over 60 and had a hard time with the second shot. 101.5 temp for 10 hours the next day accompanied by listlessness, and the proverbial sore arm. It took another two days to feel normal.

It has been speculated that indicates a "healthy immune system." Who knows?

If we end up needing a yearly dose like the flu, I hope they offer it in pill form.
