Have you been vaccinated yet?

[jorgevlorgan]

We just received our first shot this afternoon of pfizer. Second is scheduled. For those having trouble making appointments: we called into albertsons and they sent us a special link to schedule -while on their websites, no appointments were available.

1. Just the first shot. Second one coming up next week.

[Demsrule86]

2. first shot for me...second on on April 6th.

[lkinwi]

39. Same here, 2nd on April 6.

My county must have received an abundance because my doctor’s office called today and asked if I needed a vaccine. I hadn’t spoken to them or asked to be put on their waitlist.

[jorgevlorgan]

57. Same here!

lol

[scarletwoman]

3. You should divide the "yes" option into 2 sections: one for the first shot, one for the second shot.

[jorgevlorgan]

6. Done! Thanks

[scarletwoman]

22. Thank you back!

[Kali]

4. first dose of moderna this morning

[momta]

5. Aching to get mine.

I'll be in the next batch of eligibles here in CO. Hubby gets his second in a couple of days.

[Buckeye_Democrat]

7. Other -- 1st dose is scheduled on Thursday.

Seven days after I first became eligible.

Absolutely nothing was available last Thursday when I spent hours searching for one, but thankfully openings started to show up by the next day.

[SoonerPride]

8. Not yet. First appointment is next Monday

[Rhiannon12866]

9. You need an option for those of us who have had the first shot

But are still waiting for shot #2. I got #1 two weeks ago, get the second at the end of the month.

[demmiblue]

10. No. I do have an appointment, though.

One day after I am allowed.

[MANative]

11. First shot scheduled for next Sunday

My understanding is that they are scheduling the second shot during that first appointment.

[Shrike47]

12. First dose scheduled tomorrow after searching frantically for days.

This has been very frustrating. I am not good with computers and every appointment would be gone by the time I got there, or I would spazz and boink the wrong thing on the application screen and lose my work.

[Unwind Your Mind]

49. I hear you

I had myself signed in on the computer and my husband on the tablet, trying to get two appointments together. I finally managed it, but it was stressful

[herding cats]

13. Yes, both doses after much vaccine chasing.

It's good to be done with it and looking at the light at the end of the tunnel.

[Arkansas Granny]

14. I got my second shot last week, so still a week away from full immunity, but

I still feel a sense of relief. Hopefully family and friends will be able to get theirs soon.

[localroger]

19. It's a big feeling of relief

With just one shot we can still get it, but if we do our chances of ending up in the hospital go from 5-10% to nearly zero. There has been a marked drop in hospitalizations in Louisiana since they opened it up to people with comorbidities age 16 up, leaving it at 65 up for healthy people, in order to target the people most likely to be hospitalized or die if they catch it.

[TxGuitar]

15. Both of us have had 2 shots

Jan 22 and Feb 22

[localroger]

16. Became eligible March 1

Still too young, but I have coronary artery disease. Got on the waiting list at a little local pharmacy near my workplace. Got the call on the 4th, offering an appointment on the 5th. Moderna #1 accomplished. #2 is scheduled for April 2.

[stonecutter357]

17. I got the j j & j yesterday .

[Freddie]

18. Got J & J

So that counts for both I guess.
Day after - headache, achy, tired
2 days - almost normal
3 days (today) totally fine
DH gets 1st on Thursday

[Demovictory9]

20. first shot of Pfizer

[Auggie]

21. Received the J&J shot ... at the time I didn't quite qualify either

Don't ask me why or how. I simply received a text asking if I wanted it.

[Arkansas Granny]

24. Getting lucky has a whole new meaning these days.

[Auggie]

31. Hah! Now if someone would only text me winning lottery numbers ...

[jmbar2]

23. first shot tomorrow

[MyOwnPeace]

25. Got 'em both.....

Feb. 26 for the second - Moderna.
Typical sore arm - NOTHING else either time - but I DID sleep longer after the 2nd one (9 hours - usually a 5-6 hour person).

[triron]

26. 1st for me (Pfizer). 2nd one April 3.

[justhanginon]

27. Pfizer pfirst on the 5th, scheduled for the second on th 26th.

Very minimal side effects on the first, hoping for the same on the second shot.

[Dagstead Bumwood]

28. The wife and I received our first shot of Moderna

on Friday and Saturday, respectively. We're counting the minutes until shot two and the time we can return to some small degree of normalcy.

[MacKasey]

29. Got first shot today

Pfizer at CVS

[Tommymac]

30. Just got my 1st Pfizer jab a few hours ago.

CVS in Western PA.

Took weeks of hunting but worth it. I am a bit under 65 but have underlying conditions.

Second scheduled for first week of April.

[csziggy]

32. Got my second shot this afternoon

So far, no reaction other than a slightly sore arm. That's all I got with the first shot.

[Deuce]

33. 1st dose of Pfizer, 2nd dose 3/19.

[ShazzieB]

34. Only 9 people so far who qualify but haven't been able to get an appointment yet?

I feel like such a crashing failure at life.

Yeah, yeah, I know it's probably at least partly my own fault for not trying hard enough, but WHY does it have to be THIS hard?

I'd love to know the locations of those nine. It would be interesting to know if we're concentrated in a particular state or states.

[jorgevlorgan]

37. A lot of places don't make the availability known online because they don't want people coming from

out of town. But if you call, they would send a secret link to schedule an appointment. Not sure if that is an issue you are dealing with, but we were able to overcome it rather easily.

[50 Shades Of Blue]

43. Are there any CVS drug stores in your area?

I totally understand how you feel! It seemed hopeless for me too! Then my husband tried this link (that had worked for a friend of ours) right after midnight about a week and half ago, and found a CVS near us that was taking appointments for the following week, and we were each able to schedule an appointment (for both shots). Last night out of curiosity he tried the link again right after midnight, and turned up several more CVS's in our area (we live in a MD suburb of DC) that had appointments available, which must have just been added. They were all gone this morning. So if CVS is feasible for you, maybe try right at midnight.

ETA the link! https://www.cvs.com/immunizations/covid-19-vaccine

[ShazzieB]

55. Yes, I have been to that site,

So far it's been nothing, nothing, nothing. The pharmacies seem to get the vaccines in spurts, with a limited amount each time. They post that they have appointments available, and said appointments get snapped up in the blink of an eye, or so it seems.

Right now, CVS has a list of places that supposedly have appointments, but none are within 100 miles of me.

Al, I can do is keep clicking, at CVS and all the other pharmacy sites, and hope I get lucky one of these days.

[50 Shades Of Blue]

58. My fingers are crossed for you!

[2naSalit]

35. Getting first Moderna shot Friday!

[cojoel]

36. I marked mine as receiving both

However, I received the Johnson and Johnson vaccine for which there is only a single shot. I received it last Friday, and have had no adverse side effects.

[jorgevlorgan]

40. Thanks! I added "Or am fully vaccinated from a single shot"

to that option.

[MurrayDelph]

38. Other

I got the one-shot vaccine, which is good because the pharmacy I got it from was 265 miles from home.

[BluesRunTheGame]

41. I have an appointment for my first shot on the 26th!

[ProfessorGAC]

42. Yes. Both Wife & I

First shot each.
She was eligible for being 65+, I was eligible for being an active substitute teacher.
I got mine last Thursday (Moderna) & she got her shot yesterday (Pfizer).

[Dorian Gray]

44. Right now I'm a half Vaxx

[MustLoveBeagles]

45. I got my first Pizer shot on 3/4

I'll get the second on 3/24

[TNNurse]

46. I get my second TOMORROW.

[mommymarine2003]

47. Got my first shot today.

I got my first shot of Phizer this afternoon at the Portland, Oregon Convention Center. It was incredibly organized. Easy, free parking. The man that checked my husband and me in was a budget officer with the USDA. The young man who processed our papers was with the National Guard. The man who gave us our shots was a retired general practitioner from the Portland area, and the man who set up our second shots was out here from Maryland. There were also numerous people who told us where to go, etc. We couldn't have been more pleased.

[Unwind Your Mind]

48. Other

We just became eligible this week and have appointments on Friday!

Woohoo! I’m beyond thrilled, as soon as it actually happens, I’m booking a vacation 😊

[AnotherDreamWeaver]

50. get my second shot the 18th. nt

[ChazII]

51. I will be getting my first

dose of pfizer tomorrow afternoon.

[PoindexterOglethorpe]

52. Not yet. And I can't understand why so many others are ahead of a 72 year old

who had a serious heart attack last year. Really?

I'm clearly not in the top third of those in my state. Maybe the top 50%? Maybe everyone over the age of 25 will get it before me. Yeah, I'm a bit irritable here.

[ShazzieB]

54. I felt your pain, Poindexter. 😠

I'm definitely salty about it myself!

[Meowmee]

53. I have had both pfizer shots

The second one almost 7 days ago so in about 7 more days I will have 95% immunity. In addition to having had covid twice now I believe. My arm is still a tiny bit sore from the last shot.

[Ouroborosnek]

56. 1st on 3/10, 2nd scheduled 4/1

Sore arm and felt more tired than usual for a couple of days, then fine since. Although I still feel a little tired and random aches since, that could just be anything.

[Shellback Squid]

59. K&R

got my first one today
