Got my 1st vaccine shot today even though I don't qualify
How? My wife had an appointment at 8:15. I asked if they take walk-ins at the end of the day to account for the people who didn't show up for appointments. They said yes and to be back at 12:30.
I was there at noon, and got my shot within 30 minutes. Wifey and I are very happy. We go back on the 19th to get our second. If you don't qualify and want the shot, you might try it.

5. Congrats. Better to have it go in someone's arm rather than be discarded.

6. Thank you. Especially with my wifes low immune system because of her

recent bout with lymphoma and kidney cancer. We are both feeling better today knowing that in 6 weeks we can breath a small bit easier.

7. My sister got her 2nd jab today, which is a relief. She lives with her

daughter and son-in-law. He's an anti masker
 and I've been worried that he would catch it and pass it around. |

15. I don't mean to be a busybody
|
but with you both getting your second shots on the same day you might want to be prepared for the side effects. Maybe have whatever you like to eat, drink and brings comfort to get through those couple of days depending on the vaccine. In other words I am just trying to let you know that a fellow DUer is cheering for you and your wife.

16. Thank you so much.
|
And you are not being a busy body. Yeah, we are as prepared as we can be for those side effects. My sister got her second shot on Wednesday and has been really sick for two days. It's letting up a bit now, but it's been hell for her. (She is front-line).
Thank you so much for your support.  |

Like you, I have been reading about our other DUers and their reactions to the shot. Hope you both come through smoothly.

18. You really should. It is better than them throwing them away, which is what will happen if

no one is there to get them. Good luck.
