1st Pfizer vax in the books!

[SheltieLover]

Yesterday afternoon.

Amazingly, pharmacists & techs not wearing masks & those who were mostly had them on chin.

Arm was mildly sore last night, a bit better today.

Found the vax through CDC repurposed (previously) flu vax finder. Can search by zip code & can choose Pfizer or Moderna.

Yw for link. It is how I found mine!

2. Great link to share!

Has my first Pfizer on Thursday. No side or after effects, at all.

Everyone at the venue was strictly following guidelines. Process was friendly, fast and very efficient. I'm already counting down the days to March 18, when I get the 2nd jab.

4. Congratulations

My son is in the Pfizer trial. His arm hurt both times

[SheltieLover]

8. Ty!

Please thank your son from all of us!

I was wondering if sore arm means worse side effects for 2nd shot. Maybe not.

25. According to my son, he hurt a bit more with the first shot

He gave two vials of blood on Monday as part of the trial. They were also busy vaccinating the people in the control group

[SheltieLover]

26. Well that is good news!

I keep reading about folks who feel really ill after 2nd vax.

9. Just got my first

Two hours ago. Felt nothing but relief. So far..

[SheltieLover]

10. Congrats!

I didn't feel anything for about 6 hrs, then mildly sore arm. Still a bit sore today, but guessing a whole lot less distressing than ventilator!

Which shot did you get? Pfizer here, yesterday.

11. Pfizer

I saw my dental hygienist on Thursday. She got both Pfizer doses. Said the second one was worse-flu like aches for a couple days after.

[SheltieLover]

12. That's what I keep reading

Still much better than a ventilator or long haul though!

15. I have "do not intubate" written

In my Advance Directive. I don’t want that. Palliative care only-pump me full of morphine, wheel me into a corner and let me go.

[SheltieLover]

17. I feel the same way!

No fear of returning to where I came from.

19. Then write it down so your family knows

Recognizing one’s mortality and planning ahead is a tremendous gift.

[SheltieLover]

20. They all know

But writing down is a great idea! Ty!

21. Otherwise the hospital may follow their protocols

And ignore your wishes.The lawyers will be in charge of your health care.

[SheltieLover]

22. Omg! Horrifying thought!

Ty!

[Nevilledog]

13. Yay!

[SheltieLover]

14. Thx!

Here is CDC Vax locator where I found appt. Had it in my arm in less than 24 hours!

Pls help me keep it posted for those who need shots?

Search by zip code and manufacturer!

16. I'm pretty sure I'm like second to last in my County to get it.

Hubby got his second Moderna shot yesterday. He's feeling kinda yucky today, but not too bad.

[SheltieLover]

18. Glad Mr. Neville got 2nd shot!

I hope he is feeling better soon!

Not looking forward to that part, byt it beats a ventilator or long haul!

I hope you can get yours soon!

23. Thanks for the link

[SheltieLover]

24. Yw! Please keep in mind I had to keep refreshing page to get appt.

Took about an hour. Time well spent, imo. Had vax in my arm in less than 24 hours.

Good luck!
