I go for my 1st shot (Moderna) at a Rite Aide Pharmacy only a block away from my house.  It'll be on Thursday.  Today I received an email from Rite Aid as a reminder for 11:36AM 4/22/21.  

They listed something to bring.  Strangely enough although anyone can get the vaccine insured or not, they did ask me for my insurance card.  I'll bring it along with a copy of my confirmation.  I don't have a vaccination card.  I don't have anything.  I'll guess I'll find out on Thursday.

@songbird -they'll give you a vaccination card when you get your first shot.  Remember to take a picture of it and then take another picture after shot #2.

Why do you need to take a pricture of it?

[justashopper]

YAY!!  I got mine today, too.  Pfizer.  First one.  No reaction.  I didn't cry or faint. lol.

I guess the technician matters. She drew blood on my second shot. It was running down my shoulder. Left a knot and a big bruise that lasted two weeks. That was my only reaction.

As a poster asked, why do you have to take a picture of the vaccination card? Just put the card in a safe place.  There is really no point in taking a picure of the card, unless a person is disorganized and thinks they'll lose it.

@songbird -it's what they suggest you do, in case you were to lose it.  It lists the dates of your shots and the lots numbers for the vaccine you were given.

@teganslaw -exactly. They suggest you take a picture of it, in case you lose it.  I am sure it happens.

@Porcelain I'm happy for you!  DH and I are getting our second Pfizer shots tomorrow morning.  I'm a little nervous after hearing about others feeling sick after the second one, but am excited to get it over with.

So am I.

@Porcelain I, too have had the first Pfizer vaccine with no issues.  I will return for round 2 May 9 and feel blessed to have no side effects that others have reported.  I received my vaccine at a Kroger pharmacy and they were very organized and had a waiting area for your sit down for 15 minutes after the shot.

I already got nail polish on my vaccine card. Don't ask...I'm a mess! lol

At least it's only a little bit and it's to one side on the back. The important info was spared. Trying to remove it just started messing up the card so I stopped.

So my card has been customized with a jaunty dash of red on the back.  I'm definitely taking a picture before I manage to do anything else to it. If anyone could lose their card or somehow set it on fire, I'm your girl.

lol Well done! I didn't cry or faint either. I didn't even demand a sticker or a cute bandaid.
