Have you got your covid vaccine yet?

[LMichaels]

Unexpectedly got a call from Walgreen's yesterday. Said they had an extra "2nd shot" available of Moderna would I like it. Dropped what I was doing and got it. Arm was a little more sore than from the first one but so far nothing to be bothered about. Just happy to have this behind me

My brother and I got our first shot of Phizer last Wednesday and are going to get the second on the 24th, both had a sore arm for a day but good other than that, looking forward to getting the next one.

I have deleted several more off-topic replies.

Please keep posts focused on your personal or household experience on actually receiving the vaccination. This is not a general COVID discussion thread.

Wife, daughter and her husband got the J&J shot Thursday. The wife and daughter had no problems, but he had the chills and feel tired for about 12 hours.

California is opening up vaccination for 16-64 year olds with certain status or conditions. I scheduled my first shot at Kaiser San Jose Medical Center for 3/25.

I. Cannot. Wait.

Got the first Pfizer shot Friday. Arm was sore for a while, but otherwise I felt fine. Get second shot April 2.

I'm supposedly eligible as of last Wednesday. I need to spend some time chasing this down.

Well. Wife and I both got our first shot of the Pfizer vaccine this morning. Twenty five minutes from when we walked in till we walked out. The only side effect was I had a very slight burning/ pinching feeling at the injection site. That only lasted about 45 minutes. So happy. The health care workers in this country are doing a remarkable job. Heroes, each and everyone of them.

got my 1st dose today also... Moderna... no effects whatsoever.

Wife and I got our 2nd Pfizer this morning, so far both are good.
No long line, in and out in about 20 minutes.

Moderna. We just had sore arms after the 1st. The 2nd one put us in bed the next day with fever, aches, etc, but it passed by that evening.

An relative got Moderna in a retirement facility. None of the old folks had side effects, but younger staff did. I've since read in USA Today that "younger people tend to have stronger side effects because their immune systems overall are stronger."

I looked at the side effects as a good thing; my dose was working. I tease folks with no side effects that their dose probably got too warm and was not effective.

I'm scheduled for the 1st Moderna shot tomorrow. We'll see how it goes. My wife had both shots of Pfizer with a slightly sore arm.

They just opened my group yesterday. There are no appointments available until early June

 

[Dave Mazz]

Got my second Pfizer shot yesterday. Slight fever and slight headache overnight. Just tired today.

 

[Dustin Dorsey]

Got the first shot and if I concentrate on it my arm is slightly sore. So far so good. Sitting there for the 15 minutes afterwards I kept getting convinced something was going on but it turns out I'm just crazy.

My 74 year old mom got her first shot the day before yesterday. Not one side effect according to her. She had covid in January too.

Still far out on the list because of age for me.

Well after scheduling a shot two months out with my health provider, the local health department had some available and was able to jump on an appointment this week 3/25. Then I come into work Monday, and my employer is offering J&J shots (Only one needed) today. So I canceled the other two and am getting mine today.
These seem to be feast or famine, especially as they open up larger groups.

Got my 2nd Pfizer shot this past Saturday at a local CVS.

Sore arm for 24 hours, and spent most of Sunday with that slightly achy feeling that one sometimes gets before coming down with the flu. The symptoms were comforting in a way...it felt like the vaccine was doing its thing. Treated the symptoms with Tylenol, and woke up Monday feeling fantastic!
