have you received your vaccine yet?

[MN-Skeptic]

My local health care provider hasn't added age 65+ to their list yet. You have to be 75.

There are Walmarts, Sam's Clubs, and Hy-Vees which supposedly are doing vaccinations in this area so I check their sites a few times during the day, still haven't found any open appointments.

There are drug stores more than 2 hours from the Cities which have had vaccines available but I'm not that desperate yet. I'll let the locals there snag those appointments.

I'm really hoping that something becomes available in the next 4 weeks. I canceled my dental checkup for next week just because I am super cautious now that the vaccines are so close to being available.

Something my sweetie used to say: "If need be, I can stand on my head for a year." That's been my mantra for the past 12 months. It's getting old, but the end is in sight and I can isolate so much easier than so many other people so I am fortunate. But like everyone, I'm getting tired of this. I really want to visit relatives! Live. Not Zoom.

I will be 64 this year with no pertinent pre-existing conditions so I don’t qualify on anyone’s list, but Mr.D has had both his shots.

I feel this roll out should have been, when it comes to married couples, both as one at the same time ..

One spouse can go about their daily affairs ... the other has to stay sheltered in place?

Bad execution of plan. Or the plan was just bad. Either.

I'm not eligible in my state yet. My daughter advised me on how to jump the line. I won't do that because I'm not an asshole (Mrs. Reeve probably disagrees).

It's a real pickle. As in people who care for their elderly parents or disabled family members yet do not qualify as health care workers.

Well get there though. Poco o poco.

I'm still working on getting the vaccine. I am considered to be an essential worker, but I have a history of anaphylaxis and two adverse reactions from vaccines. I have to be in a hospital to have it. That might happen after the age restriction drops to 65 and lower.

I have to agree--my age makes me qualified, and I do have compromised lungs due to a bout with pneumonia long ago. But my husband, an essential worker, is one year too young, even though he has medical issues which should get him vaccinated. I got the vaccine mostly because he was worried about ME getting it from HIM. He had been working in an office which had 32 active cases (fortunately, all after he escaped from there) because the managers were lax about employees wearing masks.

[Reality Check]

Lonely.
He disappeared from his Home Site place of origin for nearly a year and returned a couple months before the election.
He continually posts without getting any support from the handful of minions he had before his absence. Other members there have him figured out (he just a troll) and there is no point in replying to his inane posting ... his last 20 posts have not been replied to. No doubt the reason he tried to sneak one by you.
:snip:

Wow, is is a pathetic, lonely, racist, loser of a troll. In the post he tried to sneak through on my blog he called the Vice President "Heels up Harris".

[Shizzle Popped]

Indiana just opened up for 60 and above this week and my wife and sister-in-law managed to get their first shot (Moderna) yesterday with the second already scheduled for 4 weeks out. I'm just under the threshold so I have to wait for the next round.

[slq]

I just checked again, and my state won't even tell me what phase I'm in -- only that I'm not yet eligible. Way down on the list. Likely summer or later.

Interesting thing about the vaccine. I got mine today because of being in the right place at the right time.

Went to the doctor (well, nurse practioner; Cheryl is fabulous) to get a small bulge near my belly button checked out (basically my innie is becoming an outie). Yup, have a hernia starting. My dad had one in the same spot as well. She gave me a referral to a surgeon. Then when I was getting all my stuff together to leave, she popped her head back in and asked if I'd had the vaccine yet. Said no. She asked if I wanted it. Said yes.

Seems they had an extra dose that if they didn't stick into an arm by 5pm, it would have to be destroyed. This was at about 4pm. So, got my first shot today (Moderna shot) and get the second one on March 28th.

So, even though I'm not in any of the target groups, I got my vaccine by happenstance.

Moderna Jan 17 and Feb 11 at VA Medical Center.

My second dose was a month ago. Going to work is not a stressful as it was for the previous nine months. Robust immune response with the first dose and just a sore arm for the second. I was given Pfizer.

I'm 44 and a smoker, so I'll probably get mine sometime in 2032, but since for some strange reason smokers aren't coming down with COVID, I'm cool with it.

In PA, being 44 and a smoker would have you in line right now.

[sad-cafe]

Our doctor said after he got his 2nd dose, he felt a little cocky and then settled back down.


We just want to go eat IN a place and not bring it home or have it delivered

Boy, do I get that. We ate out, literally most of the time outside, last summer for a bit. I miss it so much. With the weather and a few other things, we didn't even order food in for the last three weeks. I got so sick of cooking, which, generally, I enjoy. Did Mexican pickup on Monday and thought I'd gone to heaven. I've had my first shot, but not the hubby, so eating IN a restaurant is not in the cards yet.

I got my first Pfizer shot yesterday. Ages 65+ started last week and I was able to get an appointment just 5 miles away at a high school gym in North Las Vegas. The process was quite smooth, no lines and lots of helpful people, including the national guard. The nice man who gave me the shot was an EMT from Maryland who volunteered to help out. He's really been enjoying our weather.

Smoking gets you bumped up to 1B Tier 2 in Alaska.

On the bright side, my first Pfizer stick did not result in me getting Guillain-Barré again. Tomorrow will be a week. Fingers crossed.

So that's why the Fogbow went down!! Your vaccination!

[zekeb]

Got my poke an hour ago. It's painless when a friendly nurse does the job. Second shot is scheduled for 26 March. Same time. Same station.

Two questions for those of you who have had the vaccine:

Did you do the follow-up with the CDC?

I signed up, was contacted through an app every day for the first week, now once a week.

Did anybody else get a bull's eye band aid?

It was put on before the injection, and then the pharmacist put the needle in the middle of the band aid where it was a clear substance. I assumed it was some sort of standard for this particular vaccine, then realized I've probably seen dozens of people get poked the normal way on TV, so that couldn't be it. I finally saw someone getting a shot through it, but only once. I'm just curious. Bull's eye is my term for it.
