Who's Received a Covid Vaccine? Got Mine a Few Hours Ago.

[Remy]

So far, nothing adverse. Not even pain in the arm though I don't tend to get arm pain from vaccines. Second one in 21 days. Work was packed with employees getting theirs. (medical field) As far as I know, they have not made it mandatory.

Anyone else got one yet?

I have not heard one word on how regular folks will get notified when they become eligible.

 

[RadishRose]

Good for you @Remy !

I'm one of those "regular folks", so it may not be until Feb or March.

 

[Sunny]

Congratulations, Remy! I'd love to get mine, but I'm one of the regular folks also, and who knows when my turn will come up?

 

[jalou65]

Congratulations! Glad you're not experiencing any side effects. I usually get a sore arm and some joint aches from vaccines. Nevertheless I'm anxious for my turn. Here in Ohio it sounds like it may be mid to late January for 65 and over. I'm ready.

 

[Chet]

Keep us posted.

I'm just regular folk also but since I work with covid positive people, I guess we got bumped up. The woman asked me prior to the shot "have you knowingly been exposed to anyone with covid 19 in the past 2 weeks." I said "yes". The lady mentioned "I've got to get used to everyone here saying yes because it's usually no."

One of my co-workers mentioned today that her brother tested positive in Texas. He had gone to some kind of a holiday gathering.

We were offered one at work so I got it. I go for the second dose the 11th of January. It was explained to us that there might be a stronger reaction to the second dose as it is meant to boost your immune system a little more to fight a little more to strengthen it sorta. I hope I'm off that day in case I feel creepy. I had a few mild effects but nothing serious or dangerous to my knowledge.

I don't know and it's a good question. I'm no even sure what age they are making a priority. I've actually heard over 70 or 75 if I remember correctly. Hopefully sooner than later for those who want it.

Thank you for the information. I got a handout today but honestly it's laying here and I haven't read it yet. Guess I should.

This was just what was explained to us by our CMO he's pretty good about communicating when we have questions. I plan to take this thing every year if they offer it unless my body decides not to tolerate it.

 

[MarciKS]

Also I don't know what kind of work you're doing but here they had to give us cards stating what brand we took and when we needed the next dose because the CDC doesn't have something called a NEX or something set up on the computers for them to log it so we'll leave the cards so they can put it in their database that we got it.

 

[MarciKS]

@fmdog44 check your dept. of health sites. they might announce it.

 

[Warrigal]

Vaccinations are expected to begin in Australia by end of February/beginning of March. Meanwhile we are concentrating on observing the COVID protocols. I went to a funeral in a church today. No singing permitted and a list of attendees was taken together with contact details. Afterwards back at the house the number of people for refreshments was limited to 10.

 

[chic]

Didn't feel a thing. No noticeable changes. I'm kidding. Good luck.

 

[911]

When I left the hospital, I was told that I have protection for at least 5-7 months against a reinfection, maybe longer. They haven't done enough studies on it yet to determine how long a patient who had COVID-19 will be protected.

However, since I have read that people have already experienced reinfections in less time, I don't know what to believe.

I am still having issues with my breathing, so yesterday, I went to the Pulmonologist. She told me that it may last another 3-4 months or my normal breathing could return tomorrow. It seems to me that there is a lot of uncertainty with this disease.

I saw my PCP last Friday and I asked him what medicines did I receive while I was a patient in the hospital. I was given Remdesivir, Vitamins C, D and Zinc, along with Azithromycin and Zofran all through an IV. I also received an unknown amount of liters of O2 and Xanax at night to relax me.

I feel like an old man walking around the house all day wearing a robe. No energy to do much of anything. Appetite hasn't returned yet, but I eat to survive. It's really been a slow go since I left the hospital. I am only taking Vitamins at home.

 

[Sunny]

Sounds like the disease knocked the stuffing out of you, 911. My sympathies, it sounds terrible. Still, you survived, hooray for that!

Probably your body needs plenty of rest to fully recover, and you may be a little bit depressed also. Try to find fun ways to amuse yourself while at home - I know, sometimes that's easier said than done. I don't know what I'd do without Netflix, for example.

Take care of yourself, this too will pass!

 

[Lakeland living]

Us normal people, can you define normal these days??
I take aspirin (81mg) and vitamin D (3000 iu) , these show some results in fighting the covid in some hospitals and more tests are ongoing st

Those symptoms may never go away. I hope you don't get reinfected. A gal at work that had it just this month was told to wait 90 days then she could have her vaccination.

We haven't heard anything here from anyone about vitamins or supplements doing anything for anyone. Rest and give your body time to heal 911.

I am glad you changed your mind and decided to get it.

I got a medical exemption for work. My sister got her first dose a couple of weeks ago.

Praying your strength returns soon! Were you taking Vitamin D3 before you got sick?

Are you saying that my breathing may never return to normal? At nighttime when most of us relax and our breathing, blood pressure, etc. begin to slow down, my O2 level is averaging 88 since I left the hospital. (I was told to get an Oximeter and keep an eye on my O2 level.) The Pulmonologist said that I shouldn't worry about 88 at night, but I read otherwise online. This is all very confusing to me. I never indulged myself into studying about medical issues such as I have been exposed to lately.

My PCP is also a friend of mine and he continues to be my mentor on such things, normally. However, he has been so swamped with COVID cases, seasonal flu cases and his normal day to day issues he involves himself with in the office that I really haven't had much time to speak with him. I know he is drained when he gets home in the evening, so I really have no desire to bother him with my issues. This whole mess has become very disconcerting.

 

[Pappy]

We are both going for our 6 month checkup today at 2pm. It would be nice if he has the shots. I don’t know, but I doubt it.
