Me too. I'm actually rather pleased. I figured on late March or early April, so it exceeds my expectations.
I am finally scheduled to get my first shot tomorrow.
I was back to normal feeling literally like 30-60 minutes after making this post. I don't know if it was the Tylenol working or if it was just exhausting being at the gym and once I was rested I felt fine, or if it was that I hydrated more after. But I was fine and feel fine now. The soreness in my shoulder is all but gone too.Just worked out and definitely felt a bit exhaused/fatigued and started to feel overall a bit "blah" while working out but pushed through it. I took some tylenol when I got home so hopefully it makes me feel a bit better. I definitely feel more tired now than I usually do after I workout.
I've started a bit of a service getting vaccine appointments for elderly neighbors and parents of friends/coworkers. I really don't know how they think the average 65+ is going to compete in this process. You need to be really fast to get appointments. Fast internet, fast typing, fast comprehension and navigation of web sites, etc. It is, IMO, heavily skewed against those who need it most.
I'm eligible in 1C here in NJ so I got an appointment for myself and two neighbors so far. First neighbor went today on 30 minutes notice due to me grabbing what was presumably a cancellation at the Meadowlands mega site. I suppose this is a nice side bonus of having a job where I am at a PC all day I can do things like this. My first exposure to the process should be Sunday morning when I take my neighbor, and then I go back Tuesday for mine. Feels like progress, finally.

Yeah my sister's friend is the reason that I even knew about the "shortcut" to get my appointment. She got my mom an appointment after she had failed so many times. Basically the direct link to appointments updates before the main MD website even updates that they have appointments available. It was apparently less known but now the cat is out of the bag.I've started a bit of a service getting vaccine appointments for elderly neighbors and parents of friends/coworkers.

What scouring multiple sites with different interfaces, using form fillers/auto refresh, tabbing open anything that looks promising, strategically picking later appointments so they aren't scooped up from under you, and turning notifications on for a dozen obscure health department twitter accounts seems in the skill set of a typical grandparent?
So while I got an appointment for today yesterday, today is icy all over Dallas Fort Worth. Schools were canceled today and as such I’m 55 miles away from my vaccination site. Probably not going to be able to make my appointment as the roads are still bad and temps won’t get above freezing until after 2pm.
Fortunatley I was able to snag an appointment at CVS tomorrow and my 2nd appointment on March 12. I’m still gonna try and get my shot today but now that I have a back up I won’t be willing to risk hazardous driving conditions.
Hopefully you opted to stay home and so avoided this https://jalopnik.com/more-than-100-cars-and-trucks-crash-in-massive-pile-up-1846248784
1.5 mile long car smash up in TX, figures.Right now most roads are mostly clear now from an ice standpoint but they are still working that massive wreck in Fort Worth. It was a 1.5mile long wreck. Not the backup but the actual smashed cars.
I’ll go to my local CVS and get my shot tomorrow at 3:30. Also was able to schedule my 2nd shot at the same time. So it’s Feb 12 and March 12. I guess it will be Moderna.
Still alive? Second Moderna hit me harder than the first, and put a lot of my coworkers out for a day or two.Just got the 2nd Moderna shot at work / school. Hopefully won't be any worse than the first which was just a slight blah feeling and a sore arm the next day.
Yeah, second Pfizer would have been 3/5.Nah I didn’t go anywhere. It was a mess all over today and I just got a brand new car I’m definitely going to risk driving on icy roads.

That's the kind of shit that I dread... I've handled accidents with upwards of 10 victims/ 4 fatalities before, but I was able to know I had seen/someone attended every person. Something that big, you are walking past folks heavily entrapped to get to those you can quickly extricate.Hopefully you opted to stay home and so avoided this https://jalopnik.com/more-than-100-cars-and-trucks-crash-in-massive-pile-up-1846248784
Been there, and it sucks. And it is fucking frustrating because it is so simple. Get Pfizer, your appointment is in 21 days, Moderna, 28 days.... done. It eventually worked out for me, and I got mine on time, after 15 days of pounding on the system, or lack of.Having a tough time scheduling my followup Moderna shot. The people who set this up have kind of fumbled that. Nobody can schedule yet, and a week has passed since the soft rollout that amped up over the weekend and ended Monday. Berkeley, Golden Gate Fields parking lot, sponsored/coordinated by City of Berkeley and Curative (the company). Curative's supposed to email people... presumably, according to Berkeley, but they denied it when I talked to them and they aren't answering the phone now. They have a lot of irons in the fire, doing positivity testing, antibody testing, vaccinations, etc..
People are ready to do anything to get a vaccine, and I have a friend, she is a health worker, so she categorically refused to get vaccinated, now she has big problems at work.
That's a problem. A lot of health workers are uneducated, haven't done their homework, don't understand vaccine development and testing and are , I'm not taking that vaccine until I see that I'm not endangering myself by doing so. They don't understand the issues and the science.People are ready to do anything to get a vaccine, and I have a friend, she is a health worker, so she categorically refused to get vaccinated, now she has big problems at work.
I'm curious how are you folks here eligible for the vaccine? Age, occupation, health condition? I'm <40 with no illness, so expect I won't be close to a vaccine until closer to 2022! Has anyone in this bracket started getting it anywhere? I didn't think so.. But I still have to go to the office (where half the people don't wear masks.. ).
Your best bet (IMO) to get the vaccine earlier is to look for info from a vaccination site/provider that indicates they have doses unaccounted for (nobody to take them) and they're willing to vaccinate without regard to eligibility. This has been happening some. Watch the news, get on notification lists, network with friends, coworkers, relatives.I'm curious how are you folks here eligible for the vaccine?

Thanks. Just saw such a local Facebook group the other day. But not sure if they'll take folks in group 8F or whatever I am.. But so many people are looking to jump on these I'd really just be taking it from someone else, who probably need it more. So I'll just have to wait.Your best bet (IMO) to get the vaccine earlier is to look for info from a vaccination site/provider that indicates they have doses unaccounted for (nobody to take them) and they're willing to vaccinate without regard to eligibility.
