What is Your Status on Receiving the Covid Vaccine?

Hint: It's one of those polls where you don't reveal your identify. Duh!

Yea, big brother doesn’t know who you are on the internet.

A doctor's signature is required. There is no chance you can just lie and get a shot.

I suspect that that varies from state to state. I only had to fill out an online questionnaire and check off on an affidavit stating that I was not lying.

changing gears.. I drove 80 miles for my 1st shot, last night I was able to make an appointment for next Wednesday (the day I am due for my 2nd) at a pharmacy that is less than a 1/2 mile away from my house. The availability situation has loosened up drastically here in the last 2 weeks.

Which county are you in?

The lottery system is nonsense. Who got that crazy idea?

My mom got tickets from our primary care doctor to get them at another branch of UF Shands. With that she got both doses free in her car.

I am in Lee County in SWF. According to the data 340 people got their 1st shot on 3/8. We have nearly a million people in the county and probably 300,000 over 65. At this rate it will be summer before the seniors are protected.

Nowhere close to me then. I live north of Occala.

Except you seem to forget what the alternative to vaccination is. You might as well admit that vaccinations for disease are the biggest breakthrough that modern medicine has achieved. They have saved millions of lives and have virtually wiped out some of the most dangerous and deadly diseases known to man.

I'm not talking about all vaccinations. Each vaccination is its own unique medicine with specific requirements, medical trials, etc.

I am only talking about the new covid mRNA vaccines. I'm not an anti-vaxer.

Had my second Moderna vaccine this morning.
Feeling fine and happy that this is behind both my husband and myself.

Nobody here is "big brother." And I doubt if you're interesting enough for "big brother" to care what you post.

Got my second Moderna today, about 7 hours ago. Feeling fine this evening with just a bit of arm soreness. Glad to be done.

So, my day after the second Moderna shot, my arm is pretty sore and I don't feel 100%, but not too bad. I think I'll likely skip the gym today and make it a somewhat lazy day, but I could probably just carry on as if it were a normal day with my sore arm reminding me of the shot all day long. The pharmacist who gave me the shot yesterday also had Moderna. He was done with both shots several weeks ago. As we were talking before he gave me my second shot, I asked him how his second shot went. He said he was okay the day of the shot but threw up at 3 AM and felt terrible that whole second day. I was sorry I had asked when I heard that but, luckily, no similar problem for me. I've heard the second Moderna is having a harsher impact on younger people (pharmacist was probably in his 40s) than it is on us older crowd (I'm in my 60s).

Thank you for the additional information. I hope all continues to go well for you.

I'm thinking you're done or just about done with two shots. Am I remembering correctly?

You're very sweet to remember me. I get my second BioTech/Pfizer vaccination tomorrow.

You bet I will read this thread and response, when ever I have something to say and give thumps up.
I find it very important to promote and encourage vaccination. For what ever desease.
All my employees have now appointments, bioNtech/Pfizer, March 22 and 23 and I am extremely happy about it. My friend and neighbor had his 3 month diabetes check up today and his dock had a serious talk with him. I had been working on him for weeks. So his doc let him have it and had the J&J already ready for him.
He got needled and I gave him a pin.
What convinced my friend to take the shot, not catching the virus, but that the vaccine will prevent him ending up in the hospital, if he ever gets the virus.
Now that he got the J&J, I bet his wife will get it to, same doc.

March 22/23 I will be at the hospital. My employees are all within a hour, hold hands before they march into the halls of horror and than when they come out hand out pins and 4-5 weeks later we all can resume our normal lives.
I will report on the J&J and than on my employees, 3 are already fully vaccinates, without any problems, 1 sore arm for a day.
All bioNtech/Pfizer.
I made my appointment for my 5 year Tetanus today, recomendation was 3 weeks after the last covid vaccination.
