Anybody scheduled for vaccination yet?

Well that's me vaccinated. At half eleven this morning, I turned up, parked up, filled in the blurb, queued up, went into the surgery, got inoculated and that was it, done and dusted. Don't know why all the staff kept going on about my attire.

My future’s so bright, I gotta wear shades...
 

I had mine earlier this week. I was early for my appointment but the waiting room was empty and I was straight in and straight out. I felt rough for a couple of days, but I'm fine now.

Yes I concur, I received my first shot last Saturday, they told me that it came from the Astra Zenica plant in Russia. There's a lot of hype in the press about it but I wanted to let you know that it’s completely safe with иo side effects whatsoeveя, and that I feelshκι χoρoshό я чувствую себя немного странно и я думаю, что вытащил ослиные уши.

What's true for you isn't true for everyone..
Not everyone reacts the same.
 
New Jersey is very slow. We signed up to get an appointment but haven't heard.
Maybe its an omen. I've been rethinking this. I just don't like the idea how quickly they pushed these vaccines through. My son told me 3 people he knows got the vaccine and became quite sick for days.
I will make the decision when and if we get to make an appointment which I think will be a long time coming.

Interesting. All my NJ friends have been vaccinated, some twice.

They carried on about you, Horseless, because you're a standout in today's day and age... a man with class and style. :love:

Whenever I see a man all dressed up (like you), I always do a double take, not because I'm checking him out, but because I just love a well-dressed man.

You are a charmer Marg, but I love it. But the real credit has to go to my dress maker. In this photo, at a wedding, she made my shirt and trousers, her own suit and top, and her eye for detail is spot on. When she had her hat made she asked her milliner to make a matching feather for my hat band.

Your wife is very talented, HC. Lucky you - and lucky her to be married to someone who so appreciates her efforts!
 
I got the first shot this morning....Moderna. Easy deal at the local county health center. There were only a half dozen people in the waiting room, and by the time I filled out the paperwork, they called my name. I hardly felt the shot, and had to wait 15 minutes to see if I had any reactions, then I was good to go. They will schedule me for the 2nd shot to be administered in about 30 days. I should know by this time tomorrow if I have any reactions to the shot. If all goes well, my wife will get her first shot next week, and hopefully by April, we will be all done with this, and can begin to mingle again....wearing a mask in public, of course.
 
Got my first shot yesterday. By appointment only. No lines. In and out in about 25 minutes including the mandatory 15 mins. that you have to sit in the chair after the jab. Couldn't have been a smoother operation and they gave me my appointment for the second shot. Early March at the same time of day as yesterday.

My wife was notified by her primary care doc and goes today for her first shot.

They're in Phase II here in our state. Those 75 and older. Phase I was for healthcare workers and those whose job requires them to be in contact with people - teachers, social workers, etc.. Phase III will be for the general public.
 
No reactions at all after the first shot.

Immediately after the second shot (2 days ago), no reactions either. But I woke up yesterday with a whole slew of unpleasant symptoms, including a fever. I felt sick as a dog for the whole morning, then it began to slightly improve, leaving me with two symptoms for the rest of the day: chills (I just couldn't warm up no matter how many layers I wore), and extreme fatigue.

Slept OK last night, and woke up fine this morning. So it's no fun after that second shot, but at least it goes away quickly. I really didn't expect this, as I've never had any adverse reactions to any vaccine, and I've had them all. They don't give you any warning to expect this, and people should know, so they can at least plan to stay home that day.

Our 20-some grandson says that the first shot makes us immune to COVID 9-1/2 and we are now able to stand within 3 ft of other folks, rather than the previous 6 ft.

The first shot does not make you fully immune.
The 6ft social distancing hasn't changed.

Where did your grandson get his information? It could be very dangerous to trust a 3ft social distancing unless the CDC changes it to 3ft.

Wrong! The CDC says that it can take about 14 days, AFTER the 2nd shot before the immune system is fully able to reject this virus. Even then, a person who has received the vaccine can still transmit it to others if they have the virus on their hands, clothes, etc. The "6 ft." rule is going to have to remain in effect for many more months.
