Vaccine
I got my covid vaccine shot yesterday! The VA called me at 8:00 a.m. and asked if I could come in in the afternoon. I jumped at the chance. Second shot set up for Feb. 13. My wife is getting her first on Tuesday. Maybe now things will start to get back to normal.

Excellent to hear. My folks got theirs last week with a followup soon.
Hopefully by mid-Summer this will pass when all are inoculated. |

Glad to hear you live in states that are actually getting the vaccine into people's arms. In Ohio, they just thew 900 doses in the garbage because they forgot to keep it refrigerated. Very slow rollout here. Completely de-centralized, every county doing their own thing, their own websites, own delivery methods and processes, registration and frustration. Ohio has 88 counties. No centralized organization at all. Most front line medical workers have had a chance to get one at least. 40% have declined. Most nursing homes have been served now. Regular folks, 80+ years old are eligible when usable doses are available in a week or two.

I'm considering waiting a few weeks to hear how the J&J vaccine works out. It is supposed to be a single dose.

Beware of second shot side effects. My brothers wife is nurse. After her second shot she got fever, aches, flulike symptoms, as she was told were possible...took her a fess days to recover from second shot.

I have a suppressed immune system from the Leukemia and my Dr. isn’t pushing the issue on the shot, I may wait for the J&J one as well seeing it will be a single dose shot. I am sensitive to injections, when I got my first round Shingles shot I was achy for 3 days. I still have to get my second dose of that in June.

I know many people who have had both shots, none have had any reactions. I have received shot number one and no reaction.

In the fall I got the double strength flu shot and had a reaction to it, sore arm and just felt a little bit crappy for a day.
I had the full blown flu twice last year within a month that put me in bed for 2 weeks both times. I'll take the mild reaction possibility, over 4 weeks in bed sick as a dog. If Ohio ever gets their act together I'll be getting the vaccine. I have 3 deficiencies that would make me susceptible to the virus, I'll be getting the vaccine over trying to live through a bout with covid, which I'm fairly certain I would not win.

I know quite a few people who had actual COVID, didn't even know it. A few that had sniffles, none yet that got anything even close to the flu.
They had on today that a guy was sick w COVID in dec, got the shot yesterday and died. So make sure if you get it you wait the recommended 90 days from having COVID Personally I'm in no rush to get this vaccine. To many people I know had the actual virus and were fine. I'd like to see it a bit more proven.

I have a part time gig transporting medical supplies, specimens (including covid specimens), etc to and from the Mayo Clinic properties in SE MN. As such, I am considered a 1a employee and will be getting my first covid vaccine injection on Wednesday.
I'm also 66 (for about another 3 weeks), diabetic and a 3 time cancer survivor. I normally have no reaction to vaccines (as a diabetic, I get the flu shot annually). I've also had the Shingrix vaccine (for shingles). |

I'm counting the days until shot #2. If I have a reaction I will have to deal with it. The thought of sitting back, doing nothing and waiting to see what everybody else does never entered my mind.

Living in Alabama, no need for me to worry about a shot. We’re last in % of shots given vs the population. I’ve applied online but that was around 2 weeks ago and have received no response. I can picture those triaging the calls/online being less than qualified.

Have seen people who have had little effect from getting COVID. Also have seen many people very ill. Have also pronounced many people dead with it.
