Covid Vaccination?
 

Got a phone call from Optum at 3:30 yesterday to see if I was available to get the jab that afternoon. Hell, yes! Went over to their facility and got the 'jab' of Pfizer juice at 4:30. WOW!

Nothing weird to report, just a sore shoulder. Pat got the Moderna version at Disneyland the other day.

Nice. I was supposed to call starting today to maybe get happy. Was on hold for two hours, then disconnected! Truth!

Ugh. Hang in there my friend.

I'm set up for the 16th, wife who was five minutes behind me in registering is on the 20th.

Here we have to go through the health department, gave them my contact info back a month or more. Checked periodically during the intervening weeks. Then a email informing me to register. Had to wait for the 65 and over to kick in.

I'm supposed to get my second shot on March 3. I'll be so glad to have both shots done.

I'm not sure when my boys and daughter in law will get theirs. They are in their forties so it might be a while.

For what length of time is the vaccine effective?

Unknown is what I have read and heard.
We are just at a year into this one.

Might be a six month to year booster needed.

Off to get the booster shot. Hang in there everybody, J&J vax is almost here and the others are ramping up production. Be safe, friends.

Ohio? My siblings have been having a terrible time getting theirs.

I got the first Moderna shot, then five days later got sick and tested positive for Covid-19.

Don't get too happy until you've had that second shot.

All depends on what outfit you hook up with. My "mother in law" in nice suburb had no trouble getting scheduled at a place half a mile from her home. At age 88 she was a priority of course. I'm getting mine at big hospital in inner city. Cattle call, took 45 minutes to get there, then spent another hour standing in three lines. But I got shot number 1, and number 2 is scheduled.

My wife and I got our second shot of Pfizer this Monday at Kaiser in Walnut Creek, CA. From what I found out, Kaiser has been administering both Pfizer and Moderna depending on what they have/get that particular day. For our second shot, they had two separate lines, one for each vaccine. I had minimal symptoms after the second and my wife, none at all.

My youngest sister got hers from the VA hospital in Cleveland. She's 66. My #2 Brother got his from a clinic in Kent. He's 75. Middle Sister got hers at a hospital in Youngstown. She's 67. Not sure about the rest of them. (I am the youngest of seven siblings at 57.) So, it is slowly coming together in Ohio.

I'm currently listed in the phase 2 category in MD. So far they're up to the ones in phase 1C. With the J&J vaccine approved and more doses getting shipped hopefully things will speed right along. A church near me is giving shots this Saturday. I've heard of people waiting at vaccination sites toward the end of the day and getting "left over" shots they don't want to go to waste.

I'm in the 1C category in MD and luckily found a shot at a local Walgreen's last week. As soon as I succeeded in getting an appointment, I tried the same for my wife. No luck. Still far too little supply in MD.

Just got first at Kaiser clinic. Appt, so no waiting. Got jabbed with the Moderna.

Looks like everybody who wants a jab will have it by the end of May per the POTUS. Biden has Merck manufacturing the J&J one shot vax. Sure hope we can get this Covid relief bill done. That will help to get the vaccine into arms.

Actually Uncle Joe said "every adult" that wants one.

I'll be getting my second shot this morning. Yippee!

Great news.

Friday for me.

That second shot (moderma) was a doozie. Spent all day in bed yesterday with chills, fever, ached all over. Not sure if everyone has that sort of reaction. Today I feel fine. The day of being sick is worth being vaccinated.

Someone said they heard.....you know not even second hand info.

That the one who has a bad reaction to the vaccine, would of been one who would of been very ill from the virus.

Who knows.

Glad you are doing better now.

One day closer to FREEDOM!

Just got the second Pfizer.

That the one who has a bad reaction to the vaccine, would of been one who would of been very ill from the virus.

That's interesting, Oerets. I wonder if it is true.
I'm glad I got the vaccine instead of the virus!

That must have been frightening. I'm glad you're feeling better.

I think big flu-type reaction to second shot just shows you have a strong immune system. First shot loaded it up to react, then with the second shot, react it did!

Second shot just now. Not looking forward to tonight!

Well, yesterday wasn't much fun. Massive headache, tired as hell, slept a lot. 100% better today. Will wait 15 days for the second dose to become fully effective, then we will start socializing again. Yay!

My wife, who's not yet 60, is scheduled for the J&J shot tomorrow. One and done!

Got a scheduled appointment to get the shot Wednesday A.M. I don't know which one they're giving yet.

All shots are tons better than no shot.

Got jab #1 of the Pfizer this morning. Feeling just a little tired, just a little off-beam as it were. So far that's all. Shot #2 due in three weeks.

Got my second shot (Moderna). All good.

Is anyone hesitant to get the J&J vaccine since the news came out about blood clots in a few people who got it?

Blood clot frequency seems very very low. Count-on-fingers out of millions low. Not a worry I wouldn't say.

Very few things in life are risk free. This seems low compared to the getting of C-19.

Drinking a diet soft drink for instance, something most do without thinking.....

Just got the third jab in the ol arm of the good stuff.

Moderna booster at a Krogers.

Check your local pharmacy for the requirements needed.

In and out in under a half hour.

Oerets, Who is eligible for a third shot?

Right now if you have a autoimmune disease or a transplant patient.

I have and currently under treated for a autoimmune disease.

The pharmacy said they expect it to be available for all as early as next month.

Thanks, Oerets. I was listening to the news yesterday after I posted and heard a lot of information. Looks like I can get my third shot in late October or early November.
