(4,522 posts)And if you have any comorbidities or work in the medical field? I am over 60, under 65 with 3 comorbidities. I signed up for the vaccine 7 weeks ago in OK. I know people who are 80-90 years old who are still waiting and nearly a dozen people who received a first have been told there won't be a second. I would like to now how other states are doing it.
On the other hand I reported a FB ad last week for a spa in OK offering doses for $450. FB removed the ad, I also reported it to Tulsa Co heath department. A man my husband has worked with for several years, who is 30 something and healthy told him he paid $100 for a pharmacist to come to his home and vaccinate him. No reason to believe he is lying. Of course, he wouldn't share the name.
Have any of your seen cases of possible fake or black market vaccines?

(2,566 posts)I didn't feel a thing. My arm was sore at the injection site for a couple of days after but no other side effects. I get the second dose on February 19. My stats: age 53, no health problems, live in Illinois, essential worker (teacher).
My mom (age 74) just got notice that she can get the vaccine this Thursday. Thank God! I've been worried about her for months. She went through chemo and radiation last year while the pandemic was raging on.
Dad is 84 with heart issues.
I hafta take care of him 4 days a week. I have been very worried I may bring it into him.

Got my 1st Moderna shot last Thursday Jan.28th. Didn't feel it at all. My arm was a bit sore for three days...no biggie.
They made an appointment for my 2nd shot in late Feb. Very efficient vaccine staff at Akron City Hospital (Summa).
