I'm not hopeful that the VA will get any doses. Hell they just cancelled my eye appointment then instead of allowing me to use community care they pushed me back to April in the clinic. I tried calling their 800 line but that was worthless.
 
I got Moderna, and now have pain at the injection site. It is just like the first dose, so I plan to pop a couple of Tylenol.
I was just reading up on this. Yes, the BBC recommended Tylenol (their name for it is paracetamol). I have some but just about never reach for any medication. I have arm soreness now, about 30 hours after shot #1 of Moderna covid-19 vaccine. I think it's improving.
 
Quoting the relevant info:

With more people getting vaccinated now than ever, it’s only natural to see people raise more questions about the vaccine. To this end, Dr. Fauci, during an interview with MSNBC a few days ago, listed out two side effects that come about when the vaccine is working.

First and foremost, many people who receive the second dose experience a little bit of soreness in their arms. According to Fauci, this is a good sign.

“The vaccine,” Fauci said, “because you’re giving it in the arm, it gives a systemic reaction. You know that because sometimes after the second dose you feel a little achy, a little chilly, which means the immune system is really getting revved up.”

The side effects after the second dose are typically a bit harsher and can include fever, chills, fatigue, and muscle aches. In some instances, people have reported being out of commission for a full 24-hours. But again, this is a sign that the vaccine is doing its job.

“Things like fever or soreness at the injection site are normal, and actually they indicate that your body is reacting to the vaccine, which is what you want,” immunologist Ellen F. Foxman, told The Washington Post a few weeks ago. “That’s a good thing.”

I surmised this stuff after getting Moderna Dose #1 two days ago. I was hoping to feel something, a reaction, some proof what I got was OK, was doing the job. So, 7 hours later, as I was about to go to sleep I was pleased when I noticed that my arm was starting to hurt. It actually hurt quite a lot yesterday, all day. Today, about 40 hours after the shot, it still hurts, but WAY less. I was feeling some fatigue some of the time and a chill for a few minutes, but wasn't sure if it was sleep deprivation or the inoculation. I checked my temperature a few times, but the highest was 98.3F.
 
OK, I've been very SIP since mid-March. Only 2x did I go grocery shopping, once to local indy supermarket, the other time to Costco. So, having gotten Moderna shot #1 two days ago, how soon can I feel some confidence in getting out and shopping indoors? I will be wearing an N95. I read yesterday that 14 days after getting Moderna Shot #1, you are 92% protected, but they didn't elaborate or explain what that 92% means.
 
Got through to the state DHHS this past week. My second dose of Pfizer at day 18 is acceptable under new guidance that has been issued (didn't ask by whom). So at least I won't get turned away and will get my second dose. I don't know if there is any statistical data on what the efficacy drop off is for early second doses.

I guess earlier is better than never. For some stupid reason, I'm having anticipation anxiety at the moment as my first Pfizer shot is supposed to happen at 4 today. Lets play some Kinks.

I had a bit of general anxiety over getting the first shot; it immediately dissipated afterwards when I felt the relief of starting a process that would almost certainly means I wouldn't die from that fucking disease.
 
I'm not sure if it's 100% rolled out yet, but my state is finally fixing the system so that people make their second appointment when they get their first shot. Too late for me, but good for my mum and MIL. Finally...
 
Is it wrong to feel a little salty that someone who did not take covid seriously is getting the vaccine before you? Asking for about a friend...
 
Pre-registered on WV's $700,000 site on Jan. 26th. Did an test alert and got an email, phone call and text letting me know everything was working. Now the waiting game begins. They are currently vaccinating 65 year olds. I'll be 50 this year and have had a heart problem since I was a baby.
