congrats to those who can get appointments and thank you also for getting the vaccine

IMO, until the majority of those who are physically able to tolerate the vaccine actually get a shot will I feel comfortable designing my personal new normal.phase 2

I finally found a county website to put myself on a list just to ask to be able to make an appointment. They are so overwhelmed there will not even be an automated response that they have received my request and the appointment itself — months away, maybe even 2022.

My sister-in-law and her husband got the vaccine on Saturday. Their PCP put them on a list and within 4 days they got the vaccine.

Second dose February 6th.

@Travone did you have to complete a lenghty questionairre? How long dd you wait after completing the questionairre to get your shot. Where did you get the shot..at your pharmacy, public market? what state do you live in ? Are you living in assisted living, etc.

Re: Vaccine today

Travone — Tue, 12 Jan 2021 15:04:59 GMT

@tobesNo lengthy questionairre. Just a few questions....have you had covid, have you had a prior covid vaccine, have you had any vaccine in the past two weeks, have you ever had a severe allergic reaction to a vaccine, etc.

I live in Ohio and was able to get it a the local hospital, administered by a pharmacist.

Yay, congrat's @Travone . I'm hearing some people are hesitant to get the vaccine complaining about the 'lengthy' vaccine questionnaire. How soon we forget this is typical protocol. I just don't get it.

It sounds just like the list of questions asked for a typical flu shot, or other immunization. They're simply looking for any contraindications that could cause untoward effect.

I hope no one rejects the shot, simply because of questions designed to protect their safety.

BTW, were you assured that they will have a second dose for you when it's due? I'm worried this may be a problem for some.

Travone — Tue, 12 Jan 2021 16:58:34 GMT

@BlueFinch Yes, while I was there they set up my appoinment for the second shot. They assured me they would have it. Of course, regulations are changing daily so one can never say never. I'm cofident because Dr. Fauci keeps saying that we can't change the timing of the second dose, so I don't think that protocal will change in my state.

The whole procedure could not have been easier...total time was 20 minutes. That includes the 15 minutes they asked me sit in case there were any side effects.

@Travone Very good! Glad your experience was swift and pleasant, AND, that you are promised the second dose. You're on your way.

I’m so jealous! I wish my turn would come soon. I was talking to my dental hygienist this morning and she got the vaccine last week at a drive thru. She had an appointment and said it was very easy and quick. The only side effect was a bit of a sore arm for a day.

I got mine yesterday. The community where I live in florida offered it to anyone 65 and older, but if there were no shows, they were giving it to those younger. Next dose is February 1. I feel fine today. Thank goodness.

I pray everyone who wants it to be able to get it very soon.

Be blessed.

I'm scheduled to get my first shot on Thursday! Yay!

@Travone That is so great that you are vaccinated! Congrats! I'm also happy for you that they scheduled your second shot right there and then.

They did not do that for DH when he got his first shot, just gave him a card with a date on it. We were a tad nervous about how he would have access to the second one--until we got the email a day or so ago that we were good to set up an appointment, which we did. So glad for you that you are good to go!

I'm in MD and I get mine Friday. I'm in first group as I work in healthcare. The questionnaire is not lengthy. I filled it out online when I registered. Took me all of 5 minutes. Can't wait either...

My daughter is a nurse...got both shots. No issues at all.

@Travone ~ I’m in Alaska. I’m getting my vaccine this Wednesday. I’m very grateful, as I was coming up with no available appointments for a couple of months. My son did the research (computer) and found one available appointment, (probably a cancellation.) Next appointments weren’t available until April, everywhere I checked. So blessed to have such a caring son. He is my ❤️
