Yep, once I was finally able to get Mom's scheduled, both of her appointments went as planned. They made it safely home after Dad's second shot. 👍 Krish, TheVig and StarkRaven$ 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

StarkRaven$ Posted March 24 Author Share Posted March 24 Good Gawd it is now next to impossible to schedule a covid vaccine. So I secured an appointment for tomorrow with the county by calling 211 and turning on a fake old lady shaky voice. I also told them I do not have access to a computer so they made the appointment for me (well actually for my DH). I basically did the same thing in Colorado to get my brother's vaccine. At first they told me their was a 400 person waiting list. Turned on the old lady shaky voice and their tune changed to "How soon can you come in and what time."

8ball Posted March 25 Share Posted March 25 Got my first dose of the Pfizer vaccine yesterday. It was a very smooth process through my HCP and they immediately scheduled the 2nd shot for 3 weeks out. So far no soreness or side effects. StarkRaven$, Krish and MarvBear 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

DH got his first vaccine dose and everyone there was completely professional, caring and nice. I have a complaint though but it's not about them. We got to the vaccination site 35 mins early. There were only about 3-4 people in line waiting to be vaccinated. They started DH's intake mediately because they weren't busy. Once inside there were at least seven vaccination stations with vaccinators with no one to vaccinate. Yet the Myturn.ca.gov claims all is full and no openings. Hence the old lady shaky voice just so Kelly could get this appointment. I need to complain constructively and guessing I start locally. BTW DH got Pfizer 1st. dose. Just a little tired but other side effects. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Would have sent to Consumer Bob at local TV station but website wasn't working properly. DH still feeling good after first dose of Pfizer vaccine. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

CTSoxFan Posted March 31 Share Posted March 31 Got my second Moderna dose yesterday. 18 hours later still feel OK, aside from a sore arm, similar to the first dose, however they say the side effects can show up from 24 to 72 hours after the shot. Hoping sooner than later so I can be fine by the weekend. Krish and StarkRaven$ 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Who knows years from now if i'll start growing a 3rd arm or all my skin will melt off, but for now I am good, happy to have the protection and hopefully get back to normal sooner rather than later.

TheVig Posted April 8 Share Posted April 8 I got the J&J shot yesterday at 5pm. Woke up this morning not feeling so well, but not horrible. Fast forward to this afternoon, and my entire body feels like Al Capone has given me the business with a baseball bat. Krish and cv91915 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
cv91915 Posted April 9 Share Posted April 9 I'm bracing for my second Moderna shot next Thursday. The first one went fine, but I'm still scarred from my experience with the typhoid vaccine, which I got a few years ago when we planned to spend Thanksgiving in Costa Rica. I was sick for six weeks afterward, and our friend who was planning on hosting us there flaked, and we ended up canceling our trip. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

If you were to have a bad reaction it should only last a day or two. You should be fine. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

cv91915 Posted April 16 Share Posted April 16 I got my second Moderna dose about 21 hours ago. I woke up with a slightly sore arm (just enough discomfort to notice). My lower back is a bit achy, but I can't tell if it's vaccine side effects or just a mildly bad day for my sciatica, which has been a minor annoyance on and off for the past few weeks). I'm sitting on planes this morning, so let's see how I feel when I arrive in Sioux Falls in about four hours. On the agenda: lunch with an old friend today, then tomorrow I'm visiting my grandfather at his nursing home. I haven't seen him since my grandmother's funeral last February. He's 99 and has told me that he's going to live to 100 but he makes no promises after that, so I only have 229 days to squeeze in some visits... so when they opened up the facility for one-hour visits by appointment only, I scheduled one and booked flights. I haven't posted this until now out of [superstition?], but he had covid several months ago and barely noticed. He said if he hadn't been diagnosed, he wouldn't have thought much about the mild symptoms he had for a few days. StarkRaven$ 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
8ball Posted April 16 Share Posted April 16 I had my second Pfizer shot on Wed. morning. I woke up in the middle of the night with a sore arm. My arm is still sore today but only if I put pressure on it. All in all not to bad with no other reactions. StarkRaven$ 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
StarkRaven$ Posted April 16 Author Share Posted April 16 DH had his second dose of Pfizer yesterday. Waited 1-1/2 hours after arriving on time for his appointment. Vaccination site is at a high school that just opened back up for in class instruction so it was a cluster. So far DH has experienced just some typical tiredness, slight elevated temperature and sore arm. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I'm sitting on planes this morning, so let's see how I feel when I arrive in Sioux Falls in about four hours. Soreness in the arm is virtually gone. Mouth is dry, otherwise not so much as an annoyance -- beyond having no room ready to check into because I arrived so early. Random side note: Somehow I'm still Hilton Diamond from having that $450 AF card a couple of years ago. This isn't just a Covid-related status extension; somehow Diamond didn't fall off my profile when I canceled the card long before that. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
