NOW we're talking! Dentists after the patient downs their shot, "Why didn't we think of this before!?"
There is no level of sucking we haven't seen; in fact, I'm pretty sure we hold the patents on a few levels of sucking NOBODY had seen until the past few years.

Try all the store pharmacies... I just got my first dose Tuesday at kroger after only waiting 4 days and have received calls from the health department, Walmart, and Meijer since. They were all waiting on vaccines so I put myself on all the lists.

I agree with this. I've been making appointments for a lot of people at pharmacies and the designated hospitals. Most have no appointments available. It seems like one place will get a supply and a bunch of appointments suddenly appear....and then quickly fill up. Lucas county has a list of all the available places available, other counties did not and I had to check some of the places individually. The major pharmacies will let you check all of the locations in the area at once. You just have to check often. I got my neighbor an appointment at a local hospital, my wife, brother and sister in law all at the same Kroger location. Once you find an available appointment, don't hesitate. Twice I've had an appointment taken while I was signing up.

Well I officially joined team Pfizer today. Crazy to think it took so long to get my dad an appointment who meets all the criteria (age and severe risk), and then I get it two weeks later and don't meet the criteria, other than maybe having had COVID qualified me? I'm leaning more towards the fact that they had some empty slots that needed to be filled. All I know is that I put all of my honest info into the county database two months ago and they reached out to me on Thursday that I qualified but could only schedule on Friday or Saturday.
We will see what kind of reaction I get. According to what I've read, those that have already had COVID had a more severe reaction on the first shot.

Neither my wife or I had any real problems with the Phizer shot. She complained of a sore arm, which I never really had other than more or less normal.
I could only get 1 appointment for the 2nd dose, so she got her's Friday and has had no problems. I have mine scheduled for this Friday.

So I woke up in the middle of the night feeling really nauseous, but it passed pretty quickly. Other than that, a very minor headache and a sore arm. I was expecting far worse. No problem sleeping except for the one wake up.
My wife got her Pfizer shot today, and I think my mom is getting the Pfizer shot tomorrow. My brother is next week at which point my entire immediate family will be vaccinated except for the kids! Only my brothers wife had gotten both shots so far. 😀

I had my first Pfizer shot Wednesday. My arm was a little sore but no more than if I bumped into a shelf or something.
My wife got her second Minerva shot Thursday and she felt terrible for 2 days. She is adrenal insufficient due to Cushings and having her adrenal glands wee removed. IT kicked her down for two days and she had to stress dose on cortisol & other hormones to help her over it. One night she couldn't sleep the next night she slept 10 hours.
I doubt others will have that extreme reaction but her butt was kicked pretty good for 2 days.

I am scheduled for my first shot of Pfizer on Sunday (3/28) Ford Field here in Detroit has been converted to a vaccination center so they are doing 6,000+ vaccinations a day starting on Saturday the 27th. I signed up for it the minute we could and am excited to get in so quickly.
I will find a way to leave some Browns stickers or something in inconspicuous places!! LOL

I’m happy to hear all your stories. Thanks to everyone for doing their part. We get through this together. Stay smart post vaccination. As much as it feels like we’re past this already, we’re not. I’m expecting another surge post spring break. Hopefully after that wave we can have a summer that doesn’t completely suck. Lol

Outside of a little bit of soreness, I haven't really noticed any major side effects from the single dose Johnson & Johnson shot. Sure, my arm fell off ..... but other than that .... it's all good.

I've got Pfizer round 2 on Monday. I also have a hockey game that night, so I'm a little worried I'm going to have to find an emergency sub (I'm the goalie, so if I bail w/o getting someone to play for me there's no game). I just hope that if this thing knocks me on my butt it waits a couple hours until I'm home.

No special side effects from my 2nd Pfizer last week. Well, same sore arm and I thought I was feeling a bit achy, but then feel asleep and woke up "fine" (what passes as "fine" for me in the morning). Good info here in case anyone is wondering about the side effects and if they didn't get any... Cleveland Clinic - If You Don’t Get Sick... Isn’t Working? (If You Don’t Get Sick After Your COVID-19 Vaccination, Does It Mean Your Immune System Isn’t Working?)

So just an update on me and my wife's vaccines. Tennessee is rated near the bottom on the roll out of the vaccine. So I expected some glitches.
As I posted earlier, I received my first vaccine on 3/13. However, it was what CVS called a "leftover dose" because my name was on their list. Now one would think that since I received the first vaccine through CVS they would have scheduled my second dose. Not so. They told me since it was a leftover dose they could not guarantee my second dose.
After much time researching it, the only vaccine available through my country currently is the Pfizer vaccine. I received the Moderna. Finally I was able to schedule my second dose in a neighboring county at a location that is 60 miles. So it took some work but I will receive my second dose on April 16th.
My wife finally qualified for the latest stage that opened up as of Monday. While the waiting list is long she will receive her first dose of the Pfizer vaccine on April 16th.

Glad you got it squared away. These types of stories are heard too often. It should be mandated that if a place gives you a first jab they need to schedule a second. Period. My GF dealt with a similar situation. She struggled to find a second dose. She ended up with one but it was a few days later than recommended. It took a lot of searching and was stressful for the three weeks she frantically searched. People shouldn’t be put in these types of situations.

That just, well, sucks. No one receiving a first dose should receive it in lieu of someone due for their second.

Things are kind of like that here too. Even though we have the directives coming from the governor, each county seems to be managing the vaccine administrations differently.

My son in law & daughter live in a Seattle suburb. He has a very serious case of Cystic Fibrosis and just now got scheduled for the shot. They have pretty much been "locked in" their apartment since last February because he is very careful.
They tell me the State of Washington has been very slow at getting their vaccines to those who need it.

2nd shot coming on the 6th then on 4/20 I'll be able to hug the grandkids again safely. We are used to living with just the two of us most of the time, but not being able to have the grandkids come around has sucked. As far as going out or being in crowds again... don't really miss it that much.

Our process has been seamless. The same goes for my mother in law who lives in a very rural town pretty much in the middle of nowhere. I'm just glad we got it sorted out. It seems to be, as was mentioned, left up to the counties. Some it appears have handled it better than others. I'm glad it went smoothly for you and yours Peen.

Considering there were 15 stations of people all receiving the vaccine, that could get pretty interesting pretty quick.

I asked if they want to make it interesting and do my shot in the neck or ankle. "Let's see what happens." They laughed but insisted on the upper arm. I said, "booooooring."

Got the 2nd shot yesterday.
I had a bit of swelling in my shoulder yesterday, but back to normal today. A bit of tenderness in shoulder...maybe a 2 out of 10...hardly noticeable.
I am tired this afternoon with some stiffness in my back, but I upped my mileage to 5 miles walking this morning from the 3 I have been doing the last couple of months, so it is hard to tell, though I think it might be more of a hangover from the shot. I usually just take off walking on Fridays or to use as a make-up day. I may just skip tomorrow and use Friday as my make-up day.
Either way, no big deal. I am pretty sure I will live.

just had my second Moderna vaccine. Feeling a bit tired and have a headache. Little bit worse than the first one, but not too bad. I'm going to take it easy this evening. Hope I'm better tomorrow.

My J+J shot was 2 weeks ago last Wed. Felt slightly groggy and stiff for a day, then back to normal.
Good to go.
