Anybody scheduled for vaccination yet?

Sorry. I assumed that everyone would get the humor when I mentioned COVID 9-1/2.
Guess I should have recalled the other old joke about using the word "assume".

I'll try and keep my posts in a serious vein and leave the humor to others.

Not at all, Dave. If my brain had been fully functioning I would have spotted the 9-1/2 and gotten the joke immediately.
 
I don't think which arm you get it in matters at all. If it did, they would give you that advice when you go in to get the shot. For the coronavirus vaccine, I was asked both times, "Which arm are we using?" Sounds like an unnecessary thing to worry about.

(In fact, I doubt that it even has to be in an arm! Just guessing here, but I bet they could stick the vaccine into any part of your body.)

Excellent point. Surely people without arms are being vaccinated.

The second shot is the bad one. That's what happened to me, and what most people say. Be prepared to stay home and rest the following day.
My arm didn't hurt, I just felt sick. I think the vaccine actually gives you a tiny case of covid, which produces antibodies. All I can say is, if this was a tiny case, I'd hate to get the real thing! It was much worse than the flu.

But at least I'm immune.

Not possible.
 
I got the first shot this morning at 7:10 AM. Five people were scheduled for the same time slot, and sat at 5 different desk to get the shot. We had to wait for 15 minutes to check for a reaction and then left. Of course it had snowed overnight and I had to drive through a lot slippery slush which made a mess of the car, but at least I came back without an accident. I won't put the car in the garage now till all that frozen slush underneath melts off. Shot number 2 is in a month. Had the Pfizer vaccine. No noticeable side effects so far.
 
Got an email an hour ago inviting me to go in for shot #1 on Friday. It says to wear a shirt sleeve shirts and the appointments are each ten minutes so I'm thinking I don't get out of my truck. My first drive by shooting! I just saw the enormously lone line of vehicles at this hospital. Don't know if I have the patience for it.

Received 2nd dose of Pfizer vaccine on Monday. Soreness to arm but otherwise doing well. So relieved. We thought we were early when we arrived only to find about 300 peeps ahead of us. So unlike the first time... we were like #50. It was a long wait but well worth it.

I had Round 1 of Moderna and am scheduled for Round 2 next week. Only felt soreness, no other effects ~ hopefully will do the same after the next shot. It appears shots are readily available for Seniors & essential workers here in Minnesota. Governor Walz is very conscientious about this entire process and has been a big promoter of public safety.
