Incredible efficiency at the clinic set up in a nearby community college. Got to the parking lot at 10:02, shot in the arm at 10:08, back in my car at 10:24 - it is 12 hours post shot and my arm is just a bit tender at the injection site. Spent the day doing yard work, raking, burning brush, planting tomato seeds. Good appetite, no nausea, very pleased.

About to head for bed soon - let's see what over night, and tomorrow, brings, but I am pretty pleased to be vaccinated. Only wish my wife could join me (I'm 65, she 64 - not sure when she will be eligible for the vaccine).

Edited to add...it is Friday AM, feeling great, just slight pain at injection site. Slept well, feel absolutely typical. Very happy for this non-event experience!

1. Good to hear.

[Wounded Bear]

2. You've been Modernized...

My 2nd shot is scheduled for Mar 20. Can't wait.

3. Good news!

My wife (a college professor) got her second Fauci ouchie - also Moderna - today.

I'm not quite 65, have no known medical problems, and am not in one of the favored occupations. Maybe I'll be able to get one in the summer.

4. I got my second one week ago

Arm felt like I was punched by Mohammad Ali for three days, I was feverish and headachy for about 40 hours, and felt tired and ready for bed. Acetaminophen (paracetamol) helped. My doctor said to not take Ibuprofin for a week or two and only take the Tylenol if I needed it, but try to avoid it if I can. Just rest up, drink fluids, take Tylenol, and rest. It isn't so bad. Pfizer is much milder.

5. Got mine yesterday. Came home and went to bed for the afternoon and evening and night.

Draggy today--but I got it, and all my loved ones have appts tomorrow. Christmas will be different this year.

6. Got my first one this evening - Pfizer.

Somehow I managed to get an appointment online at a HyVee (grocery chain) pharmacy around noon for an appointment at 5:15. It was indoors rather than in a parking lot (parking lot events don't work well in MN in February), but it went pretty quickly and I was out of there in about 20 minutes, after they made me sit there for 15 minutes in case of an allergic reaction.

The shot was painless, no side effects so far except for a sudden urge to buy Microsoft products.

Seems like the whole effort is speeding up everywhere!

7. My wife and I got ours at a HyVee in Iowa about noon.

Also Pfizer. I felt nauseous for a few minutes afterwards. Since then we’ve both been fine, although she says her arm hurts a little. Second shots set for March 18th.

8. Glad to hear this, I'm for my second in just a little over a week from now.

I've been getting a little spooked with the second shot being the whopper. But yeah, still gonna do it.

[ratchiweenie]

18. My husband and I got our 2nd Pfizer yesterday. He had no reaction at all. It was the easiet

jab I ever got and felt fine til the afternoon and then was overcome with tiredness. Slept a couple of hours, deep sleep, got up for a few hours and back to bed for 9 hours. Today my arm is quite sore and my neck if a little stiff and I'm sort of spacey but overall, it was not the big reaction I was dreading. Two weeks and we should be at maximum antibodies. Yeah!!! From what I'm reading most people don't have a really bad reaction, just some inconvenience like mine.

[msfiddlestix]

21. it's interesting how each individual reacts differently

I'll prepare myself in advance for "down time"... and be happy if all I feel is fatigue or nothing at all but maybe a sore arm.

No reaction at all from first shot. hardly a sore arm.. just a teeny tiny ache the next day which hardly made itself noticeable.

[ratchiweenie]

22. That was my reaction to the first one and my husband was a little sick from the first.

This time we are the opposite so I suspect I just took longer for my antibodies to react. I am very happy I got the second one and it certainly seems my body is reacting to it. You many not be sick at all. Hope not but even if you are, better a little sick than dead. LOL.

9. Got #2 yesterday.

I did not sleep last night, and the arm was sore. So I was groggy today. A tylenol and some benedryl and a nap later and I am as good as new. I am glad to have this over with. Our rural county public health department has been outstanding.

10. Your vaccination will reduce the risk to your wife until she is vaccinated.

Assuming she spends more time around you than anyone else in a given day, your vaccination lowers her risk of catching the virus. Sure, her chance (and yours) of contracting it is not zero; but it is certainly lower than before you had your first dose.

[nolabear]

11. I'm two hours behind you. Sore arm, tired just from being nervous.

I am heading for bed but so far I’ve lain around being tired but not convinced it’s a symptom. It’s just a big damn deal. We’ll see what tomorrow brings.

[Talitha]

12. Due for my second one on March 8

No bad effects from shot#1.

Time will tell regarding the follow-up.

Sill beats the alternative, though.

[BradAllison]

13. Took my mother for a shot at the school gym

It was all very efficient and well run and we were out in about 20 minutes.

[Tree Lady]

14. Got first Moderna one yesterday

After a few hours arm started hurting got pretty bad put 3 different cold packs on throughout day. Took some Tylenol before bed.

Today just a bit sore and feel fine.

Hubby had a weird reaction, he was a bit dizzy then felt for rest of day like he was high on a mixture of pot and codeine. I was a bit worried.

Today I read the vaccine can lower your blood pressure and I wondered if that was what he felt.

[duforsure]

15. Great to hear,

Getting my 2nd Moderna shot next Tuesday. Hope you have no issues.

[NewHendoLib]

16. kick... see update in the OP, added last paragraph

[mnhtnbb]

17. Getting my second Moderna 2 weeks from Monday

from Durham County Health Dept. Very efficient first time. They told me to wait 30 minutes first time because I have a history of anaphylactic response and many allergies. I had a sore arm for several days, a wild dream that night and some light headedness the next day. Took several naps.

My new next door neighbor is a 30 ish doc at Duke and he told me the second Moderna kicked his butt. So I hope having been around bugs for 30+ more years means my immune system will handle the second vax better.

[planetc]

19. I told my pal at the grocery store that I'd gotten my Moderna I the day before ...

and he immediately one-upped me by saying he had both his Pfizers done. I had held out for our local pharmacy, which is two blocks from my house, and that was prudent, because my pal had to drive through a blizzard to get one of his shots. HAH!

Also, you were planting tomato seeds yesterday, at the end of February? You were planing them inside for later transplant? Surely?

[NewHendoLib]

20. yes. 1 month seed to transplant, 1 month to harden off. So,

current plantings are for late April/early May into the garden, and for local sales.

Got 1 flat greens and flowers (50 cell plug flat), 1 flat tomatoes, today will do 1 flat peppers, eggplants and old saved tomatoes (15+ yrs old)
