Anybody scheduled for vaccination yet?

Seriously, it is one big relief when you schedule your appointment for the first dose; then a better relief when you schedule the 2nd dose ... and of course, when you have received both doses ~ you feel happy and relieved.

When I made my appointment by phone, they asked me if I was ever inside a coal mine!

I wish I thought to ask why, but I was too blown away over the fact I got an appointment for the very next day!

Same thing happened to me - I shall try to be brief:

Weekend of Jan 30/31 = watched the news all weekend as we have been told to do for the latest updates. No news on whether vaccines are available.

Monday Feb 1 = I watched the morning news on TV. No news at all about new vaccines.

10:00 Am = I went online to my local clinic's website. Bulletin posted: Vaccines have just been delivered. Call at once for an appointment.

Called, waited on hold for 2 minutes. Was asked if I could come in next day during the morning. Made an immediate appointment.

Tuesday Feb 2 = watched tv news. No data re vaccines. Came in for appointment, took vaccine. Made new appointment for next month and went home.

Watched afternoon news on tv and finally got word that Minnesota has vaccines - call your doctor/clinic for appointment.



Somehow I got word about vaccines before the news media did! Not complaining. Just wondering how on earth did this happen??
 
We put our names on the list in January and it seems like the northern part of New Jersey has dropped off the face of the earth. Not a word.
IF they would just let us know where we stand I have no problem waiting .
I'm at the point of what happens happens. Leaning toward not getting it at all.
 
Texas has been and continues to be a mess as far as distributing and scheduling vaccinations. But I've had both of mine - first on January 9th and second on February 6. Sore arm with the first but with the second I had just about every side effect that was listed - chills, headaches, etc. but, thankfully, they only lasted about 36 hours. I got really lucky to be able to schedule the shots as I overheard a conversation at the pharmacy that only the hospitals has the vaccine and would be setting up clinics. I went online to the hospital website and was able to schedule a time for myself and my older neighbors. My neighbors missed their second shots due to the winter storms here in Texas. They are waiting for a call back to reschedule.
 
As I indicated before, I got my second dose on Tuesday afternoon. That night I had no problems. Sometime the next morning, I had a slight fever. Different story last night, I experienced chills, fever, and aches. Did not take Tylenol because I was already aware the vaccine is doing it's work. After getting up this morning, it was like night and day (pun intended). I feel normal and refreshed. I even went to the park and walked 5 miles. Twelve more days to efficacy.:)
 
Yesterday I posted on this thread at 10:49 AM. Just a little while later I endured a very deep fatigue. In fact, I lost my appetite and took five naps during the day. Had a headache, slight chill, had a mad craving for sweets, and some compression on the top of my head (usually that's a sign of stress). Took 2 acetaminophen caps and had a very good night's sleep. Today I was back on my feet and did some shopping.
As a reward to myself, I made a terrific steak for dinner.
 
I have an appointment next week, but they have already rescheduled it once. We'll see how it will be this time. Honestly, on the one hand I am happy and on the other hand I am very stressed. Can I take it well? Will there be any complications? I don't know what to think about it. We have already experienced so much and still have to overcome the pandemic. Hope everything turns out well and we can overcome it!

So were we Pecos. We had wonderful experiences for both shots and it was a joy to watch the national guard in action.
Being fully vaccinated brings a big sigh of relief to both of us...now just waiting for son and sig other to get their jabs...then we can get together again...happy, happy, happy!
 
Hmmmmmmmmmmmm I got my first shot 3/3 and had no reaction. Waiting for my 2nd on 4/2
My question..is it possible to get your first shot with no side effects and the second to have side effects?? I was thinkong/hoping if I did not have a reactino to the first I would be fine with the second..:oops: Maybe I should not ask...:D
