I Did It!!!!

[OLDMDDEM]

I have been trying for what seems like a lifetime to get my first covid shot. Finally, I got my appointment set up for February 28. My wife got her first shot last Tuesday.

1. Alright! n/t

[soothsayer]

2. Yay!

[KarenS]

3. Congratulations!!

We got ours on Friday,,,, felt like we'd won the Lottery!!

[Irish_Dem]

4. Congratulations! That is great news.

I just got my first Moderna shot two days ago.
Sore arm for a day and a bit tired, that is all.

[Arkansas Granny]

5. Good news.

[True Blue American]

6. Great news!

The vaccines seem to be coming on now! We have a competent Administration once again. Wonder how Biden will be welcomed? No snickering at the boob in the room this time!

[Upthevibe]

7. Awesome! n/t

[sarcasmo]

8. Mom and Dad had their first shots on Saturday. Second shots scheduled for March 13th.

[Hugin]

9. Fantastic.

[mbusby]

10. My got her shot...

...yesterday. She immediately turned green, swelled up and all her buttons popped off. Just kidding...

She did get her vaccine yesterday. I am still waiting for mine.

[OLDMDDEM]

11. LOL

If anybody would turn green, it would be my wife. She is allergic to everything. She got her shot and is doing great.

[rickyhall]

12. I'm still waiting. I'm 65 & Arkansas still has no vaccines except for those over 75.

It's a tea party (redneck motherfuckers).

[LuckyCharms]

13. Congrats!!

[patphil]

14. Yeah, it's been difficult to get an appointment.

My wife got her 1st shot yesterday...she's a 74 year old librarian, and her library is open to the public.
I'm scheduled to get my first shot on the 24th.

[OLDMDDEM]

15. Great news. nt.

[murielm99]

16. I am still waiting.

I tried to sign up at an area Hy-Vee Saturday. In the time it took to fill out the online form, I was told that all the appointments were gone.

We will keep trying.

[OLDMDDEM]

31. That sucks

I was up every morning early online trying to do this and finally got the appointment.

17. Still waiting in Florida

If you need one come on down because our Governor is very intent on making sure every snowbird and tourist can get one. Not so much for locals.

I thought about visiting my kids in Indiana and Ohio and getting one there, but their rules are strict: residents only. But most of them have already gotten theirs early... in Florida.

Good thing I’m not bitter.

24. I get it. Duval county here. Went blue last November. DeSantis is punishing our lack of "loyalty".

Vaccine shelves all empty.

[OLDMDDEM]

30. Our governor hasn't been much better

You hear all the good things about him but his scheduling of shots was horrible.

[tavernier]

32. We are being punished

because against his wishes the Keys closed at the start of Covid to protect our small community. We had virtually zero cases until the road was opened and Miami came rushing in. So now we are in the thick of it, but our county is only allowed 270 vaccines every couple of days through two Publix stores 100 miles apart.

[jaxexpat]

34. I'm betting that the folks in the red NW corner of Monroe County are getting plenty of vaccine.....

compared to the Keys people.

[tavernier]

35. Yepper, Ocean Reef was the first.

Waaaay long ago.

(But actually NE)

[jaxexpat]

39. Right. I was thinking Naples was in Monroe. My mental map is not always accurate.

[Larissa]

18. Way to go!

[stopwastingmymoney]

19. So glad for everyone!

My Dad had his first last week. My in-laws are scheduled for Friday.

Mama couldn’t get hers yet because she’s under 75 but I’m still so happy this is finally happening

[OLDMDDEM]

20. I'm 73 and the governor opened up

to all seniors. It felt like forever to get the appointment.

[MLAA]

21. Hurray!

Just home from getting my husband’s 2nd. What a relief. I expect to get mine in June 🙂

[mgardener]

22. Congrats!!

Joe gets his 2nd shot today, ahead of the storm( 7-14 inches of snow).
Mine is on Thurs.
I just feel a sense of relief.

[OLDMDDEM]

23. I agree with you

I feel the relief just getting the appointment. My wife got her first shot last Tuesday.

[appleannie1]

25. Congrats. I am still logging on everyday only to be told there are no appointments within 50 miles

of where I live.

[OLDMDDEM]

28. Thnks

I hate the way the governor has handled this. Maryland can do better than what has been done.

[OLDMDDEM]

29. Thanks

I was doing that for a few weeks before I hit Bingo.

[Lonestarblue]

26. Great news!

I’ve had the first shot (almost no side effects) of Moderna, and I just felt so relieved at having that shot and maybe being in the cue for the second shot. Texas seems to be stretching out the time between shots rather than aiming for complete vaccinations.

[OLDMDDEM]

27. Our idiot governor

started three phases all within one week. That threw everybody online to make appointments. I'm glad you got your first shot.

[BobTheSubgenius]

33. Congratulations!

It is surprising to me that you and your wife wouldn't get them simultaneously, but it's great, nonetheless!

I don't even have a timeline, as yet - not even a season, let alone a specific month.

[OLDMDDEM]

36. Thank you

My wife is older than me and in a different grouping, the cutoff being 75 years old. She's over and I'm under. We had to do them at separate times because of that.

[BobTheSubgenius]

37. Ahhhh. That makes total sense, and they are prioritizing that way here, too.

Some front-line workers and long-term care residents first....then by age brackets, possibly modified in some cases by additional risks. I'll be 69 in August, and, by what's been published, I'm looking at maybe July to get the poke.

[OLDMDDEM]

38. another thought

There are younger people getting the vaccine before the older people because they are willing to wait in line for a long time to get the shot that is due to expire soon unless it is given out. Six Flags gives out shots now and the young people wait in line at the end of the day for shots. So, we have that issue. That's not a bad thing though. What frosts me is the ones that know someone and get the shot out of county/state.

I hope you can get yours prior to July timeframe.

Thanks for responding.
