Got my "one and done" J&J vaccine this morning!

[smirkymonkey]

It's kind of nice to feel that it's over and I don't have to wait for a second dose! Of course I still have to and plan to be careful for a while, but it is kind of a relief. Didn't hurt at all.

I live in Boston and took an Uber to a CVS out in Chelsea. It wasn't very crowded and the whole process (including the 10 minute downtime) took about 30 minutes. I managed to catch a taxi back since Ubers/Lyfts were almost impossible to get.

So far I feel fine, but it hasn't been very long. We'll see how I feel tomorrow, but at least it's Sunday and I don't have to work. I will be watching my sister's dog starting next weekend for a full week while she and her family are on vacation, so as long as I am feeling better by then, all will be well. Can't wait to have my little (big) friend come to visit!

3. My oldest got Johnson shot Thursday, now both boys vaccinated and they can visit me.

I was suppose to get long visits last summer but.... they didn't want to kill me. It has been a couple years since a visit.

6. So glad you will finally be able to visit with your family!

There will be a lot of happy reunions after all this is over! We have Joe and the scientists to thank for this! He has done a great job at rolling this out!

4. That shot kicked by butt.

Like a really, really bad cold without the congestion.

9. We'll see!

That's how I felt after I had the flu shot and pneumonia shot simultaneously, but at least I knew my immune system was functioning well.

13. kicked mine too but I think the regular flu shot was worse...

for me anyway. I didn't have a sore arm at all with the J&J.

Glad you got yours!

5. Good for you doing your part smirkymonkey!

My hubby and adult sons got the J&J and side effects were nothing beyond a bit of tiredness at the end of the day they got them (they all had morning appointments). I am confident you will be just fine!

8. Thanks DD!

I purposely signed up for a weekend just in case there were side effects. I did not want to have to work through the worst of it or call in sick. Hope you are doing well!
