I got my first shot of the Pfizer vaccine this afternoon. (Didn't know which one it was going to be till I got there, and didn't really care, lol.) Shot #2 is scheduled for April 12. It still doesn't feel real, but I have a little card in my hand that says it is, so who am I to argue?
The whole process went very smoothly. The hospital had the whole thing set up so that it ran like a well oiled machine. The shot was almost completely painless, just a very quick pin prick. The appointment for the second shot was scheduled during the 15 minute waiting period after my injection.
They gave me a sticker that looks like this:
If someone had told me on Monday that I'd be getting my first Covid19 vaccine shot before the week was out, I wouldn't have believed it. Might have believed I'd have an appointment lined up by now, but NEVER imagined I'd be able to actually get a shot scheduled and done this fast.
I can't wait till EVERYBODY can get vaxxed. It's an amazing feeling.
In closing, I want to say a big than you to all those who encouraged me when I was so discouraged about being unable to find an appointment. It helped more than you'll ever know.

Are you signed up with CDC's V Safe, post-vax tracker? Smart phone required & takes about 1 min/ day for 5 days to complete brief survey:

I love your sticker!!!
Great sticker. I guess with the masking a lollypop is out of the question.
Super news!

I'll still lay low for awhile even when vaccinated, but won't stress about going in for appointments. I assume I'll be getting the two shot vaccine, so hopefully I'm done before June. Maybe by then it will be clear everything is under control and we have no risk of getting seriously ill. I sure hope so.
