Coronavirus (non political)

[Schneed10]

I work at a hospital where we treated a lot of COVID patients so we got the vaccine before most. I hope everyone reading this will get it, no matter which one is offered to you. I was given the Pfizer on Jan 26 and Feb 18. For me, nothing but sore arms both times. For some of my colleagues, sore arm on the first one, felt very tired and achy on the second one. A few were wrecked by both. But every single one of us felt better after 24 hours. No permanent damage or side effects.

Now that my parents have both been vaccinated I’ll be going to see them next weekend. The CDC may be slow to say it, but those who are fully vaccinated can get back to enjoying company with others who are too.

So get the shots when you can. It gets you a bit closer to the end of the tunnel.

Nice, thanks. I signed up for the vaccine 3 weeks ago but I'm definitely not a priority. Was hoping since my gig is essential and we're first-responder adjacent my dept. would step up but that isn't the case, they told us all to sign up through the counties where we live.

I feel that I have antibodies from my last interaction....but I'll still be getting the vaccine as soon as it's available to me. I work at Sam adams brewery in PA, and since it's considered a food production facility, I am up as soon as the next shipments come in here...and while I think I'm safe with my antibodies built up, I thinknthat the more people that get it, the more quickly the world can return to the baseline level of normal it once was.

My wife and I got our first one on Saturday and nothing but a sore arm (2.5 out of 10 on the pain scale). We got Pfizer, but it seems like J&J is rolling out like crazy in Central and Southwest VA. We're gonna' get there!

Got my first shot lined up for the end of the month. Never been so excited to get a shot before.

Nice. The county where I live is doing such a great job of vaccine rollout they just announced a FEMA clinic is opening up next week to speed it up since we're lagging behind the other counties.

Brother lives in PA but works over the line in Delaware. Couldn't get a shot ,he says PA is all screwed up he was told maybe by August . My Daughter in NC set it up for him in PA and he gets his first shot on Thursday.

Close but not quite. I live in one county and work for another. Not putting it out there bc not a fan of sharing too much on the web.

Got my first shot yesterday, last Friday signed up for one from a CVS in Richmond. I underestimated how much it was going to kick my ass, my shoulder is really sore, slept like shit bc shoulder was bothering me the entire night, and been nauseous since I woke up.

Would still do it all over again though. Just try and schedule it for the weekend or a Friday bc I'm guessing feeling like shit is pretty common the next day.

First day back in the office after a year. Got say feels pretty good, starting to get back to normal.

Anyone over age 50 can now get the vaccine in NY. Feels like momentum is finally swinging in the right direction.

It's got to. Once the vaccines are available to everyone this Country has to get back to being 100 percent open again. Yeah , masks, hand washing and sanitizer will still be around and the norm but we / the Country needs to get back out there.

Your one of the lucky 10% Mooby. FWIW my wife got a headache and I shoulder soreness for the first but nothing on the second. Fingers crossed for you.
