Have You Been Vaccinated, Yet?

[OhioChick]

I wanted to get an idea of who has been vaccinated yet, as well as which vaccination you've gotten, if you have.

As for me, I've been vaccinated twice with Pfizer.

3. Eligibility just opened for my age group in my state (FL) on April 5th

Just got my first Pfizer shot yesterday morning. Next one is scheduled in 21 days.

[OhioChick]

4. Good to Hear!

[BoringUsername]

55. Same deal for me in Maine except April 7th it opened up here

I was able to make an appointment on the 8th and got my first Moderna shot on the 12th. I had to drive an hour away to get the shot (to a less populated area) and it wasn't easy getting an appointment. Had to just keep checking the websites.

61. I thought I was in for a long wait

Last edited Sat Apr 17, 2021, 04:09 PM - Edit history (1)

I’m in South Florida, the most populated part of the state so I thought I was gonna be waiting for a LONG time. I had checked both public and private vaccine sites the week before eligibility opened up and throughout the week of the 5th, and everything everywhere was completely booked. For me, that seemed to reaffirm what I already believed that I was gonna have a long wait ahead of me.

I wasn’t gonna be picky about which vaccine I took. I will take an appointment with whatever vaccine that was available but I did prefer the “one and done” shot so if I could have found availability for the J&J vaccine, I would have taken it.

On the 11th, my aunts were giving me vaccine sites that didn’t require appointments because they also thought it was gonna be a while before I could get an appointment. In the afternoon, I just decided to check thinking they were all gonna be booked anyway and I find 2 local Walgreens within 10 minutes from my house with open appointments all day Thursday and yesterday with Pfizer vaccines. They didn’t last that long. All appointments were booked almost immediately after so I’m stoked that I was able to find an appointment at all so soon after eligibility opened up.

[BoringUsername]

68. Yeah, I just snatched up the first appointments I could get

I had to make three appointments. One for myself, my husband, and my 18 year old son. I was glad we were able to get them at least all in the same place at the same time and our second shots will also be at the same time and same place.

5. Moderna 100% vaccinated.

I'm well beyond my 2 weeks post vaccine.

Now I'm literally waiting for news on my booster 12 months down the road.

I feel like a part of the solution.

[OhioChick]

6. .....

[herding cats]

7. I was actually part of a study, even.

People who have autoimmune disorders. I have Lupus and RA. My doctor had me go off my meds for 6 weeks prior to my vaccine.

I made history. Also, no adverse side effects beyond mild normal reactions for most people.

[OhioChick]

8. I'm so happy for you....

And thank you for your contribution to this study, I'm sure it will help many.

[IngridsLittleAngel]

9. Just became eligible on Thursday

Hit the website very early Thursday morning, already have appointments set up for my two Moderna shots on the 19th and May 17th.

I got quite lucky to get dates so soon and so close to home (a two block walk each way), and I'm glad I'll be able to finally get this over and done with.

[OhioChick]

10. Good for You!

[Meowmee]

13. Had my second pfizer

Over a month ago now. I feel a lot safer but I am still being very cautious.

[OhioChick]

15. That's Great to Hear....

Always continue to mask up although being vaccinated, I wish there were more cautious people like yourself.

[LittleGirl]

14. Just received my schedule for vaccines Friday!

I’m so excited!

[OhioChick]

16. That's wonderful to hear!!!

[The King of Prussia]

17. Astra Zeneca

First dose. Second dose booked for 6th June.

[OhioChick]

18. Great News!!

I'm sorry that I forgot to include Astra Zeneca.

[BoringUsername]

56. I think you might be able to edit the poll and add it. n/t

[Freddie]

19. J & J, 5 weeks ago

Was part of a mass vaccination event of school employees. Feel fine and will get whatever booster is needed in the future.

[OhioChick]

20. Awesome!!

[lkinwi]

21. In three days, it will be two weeks after my 2nd shot.

I'm excited to be fully vaccinated!

[OhioChick]

23. I'm excited for you!

[Buns_of_Fire]

22. Soon. Pfizer on Pfriday.

Which I noticed will also enter me in the Georgia Registry of Immunization Transactions and Services database. Yes, I'll officially be in the GRITS database.

[OhioChick]

24. I see what you did there..

"Pfizer on Pfriday."

[Hortensis]

40. Good grief, that's real. Lol. We live in GA but got vaxed in FL,

so no GRITS for us, unless maybe we serve ourselves.

Congrats for Friday.

[Rhiannon12866]

25. Got Moderna #2 two weeks ago Sunday!

I was sure it would be weeks or months, but then the pharmacies started offering them (got mine at CVS) - But now we have an abundance of options here in NE NY!

Local clinics left with extra vaccine

[OhioChick]

26. Awesome to Hear!

[Rhiannon12866]

27. It really was a huge relief and they were so efficient and nice!

I felt pretty awful that night and the next day, but it sure beat the alternative!

[OhioChick]

29. I was thrilled to get my 2nd Pfizer...

It knocked me on my butt for about a week but it should beat the "alternative" as you said.

[Rhiannon12866]

30. As awful as I felt, it was reassuring since I knew it was working!

[OhioChick]

33. That's exactly how I felt after the second vaccination...

I didn't care one bit, either.

I understand due to the emerging variants, we may need another vaccination (or two) and a yearly booster.

They can certainly have my arm, again.

[UpInArms]

51. Am so glad to see you have yours!

Hubby and I have had both Pfizer shots and our son will get his second shot next Friday

[LisaL]

28. Got my second Moderna a week ago.

One more week, and I should be fully immune.

[OhioChick]

31. Excellent to hear!

Continue to mask up despite being fully vaccinated.

[mobeau69]

32. Not fully but close.

No vaccine is 100% effective.

[LisaL]

34. I know.

By fully, I mean as I immune as I will ever be.

[OhioChick]

36. I believe the majority of us knew what you meant, Lisa

[mobeau69]

43. It's important that we all pass along accurate information.

I have anti-vaxers in my family and they’re like what do you care if others choose not to be vaccinated if you’re vaccinated and can’t contract it?

That was the point to my reply. It was not to attack the poster!

[OhioChick]

44. I didn't think you were attacting Lisa...

Only saying that I knew what she meant is all.

You have anti-vaxxers in your family?

[mobeau69]

38. That's why everyone needs to be vaccinated. My brain is too stressed to do the math but

if you have a 10% chance of infection if exposed to Covid your odds are much better if those you come into contact with also only have a 10% chance of being infected as opposed to a 100% chance.

[OhioChick]

35. No, they aren't......

But she's doing the best to protect herself.....and others.

Have you been vaccinated, yet?

Plan to be?

[mobeau69]

39. Yep. Got my 2nd Pfizer 18 days ago.

[OhioChick]

41. Congrats!

[ProfessorGAC]

37. I Selected Moderna, Both

My wife is Pfizer, both.

[OhioChick]

42. Excellent!!

[Dorian Gray]

45. Today

I am considered fully vaccinated. Two weeks after dose two. yay!

[OhioChick]

48. Wonderful!

[MissMillie]

46. very difficult to get an appointment

The most available vaccination sites are too far away for our unreliable vehicle. The appointments a local healthcare facilities, Boards of Health, and pharmacies fill up within minutes of being made available.

On the bright side, this means people are getting the vaccine.

I just wish I were one of them.

[OhioChick]

49. I'm sorry to hear that, Miss Millie...

I've heard many say that appointment slots are a problem in certain areas. (Filling up too quickly)

Keep trying and you'll eventually get your vaccination.

[Rhiannon12866]

58. I wish you lived near me, they're having trouble filling appointments

It took awhile to come here in the Northeast, but now there are numerous sites and they're even taking walk ins.

And originally the vaccine was only available as you describe. My friend who teaches had to drive completely across the state to get hers. Hang in there...

[Maeve]

47. Pfizer, both, now three weeks out from last shot

No problem with it being an annual booster, like the flu shot.

[OhioChick]

50. Congrats!

[salin]

53. Cool. I am 3 days out fomrom 2nd Phizer,

And agree with your assessment.

[genxlib]

52. I suspect

That this poll has a high correlation to age distribution on this forum. Since older people are more likely to already be fully vaccinated.

I’m just happy to see my DU family getting protected.

[BoringUsername]

57. Yes, that would be it

Ages 16 - 49 wasn't allowed to get to shots until April 7th in my state and I think in most states they are only just getting started with that large age group.

[OhioChick]

76. Not necessarily....

I'm sure HCWs and many Frontline Workers, regardless of age were indeed vaccinated first, in many cases.

I believe my State was open for all ages in mid-March.

[genxlib]

81. It was March 29th

When the youngest cohort became eligible in Ohio. I only know that because it was important info for us because my daughter is in that age group at Ohio State. Most states were a little later than that.

That would make it difficult for the younger crowd to have both shots unless they had specific exemptions

I’m not saying it is a perfect correlation but I would expect the results to reflect a higher percentage of completion than the general population because of our collective age.

Heck, I am in my 50s and I only have one shot and I got my appointment on the very first day of eligibility for my age group. I would have done it sooner if I was allowed to.

[Bengus81]

54. Both shots done and reached the 15 day wait two days ago!

[2naSalit]

59. Got Moderna #2 yesterday!!

This time my arm doesn't hurt as much though I am a little more woozy this time around.

[Generic Brad]

60. Yesterday was two weeks since my second Pfizer

And just in time. I had a business lunch yesterday for the first time in over a year. Then I went out and got a haircut last night. Today I'm venturing to Nashville to do some shopping.

I will remain masked up, but I am no longer worried about getting seriously ill. Time to finally leave the house!

[Wounded Bear]

62. Modernized, two shots done...nt

[mucifer]

63. Yayyyyy DU!!!!

[OhioChick]

77. I'm really pleased with this poll!

[Hotler]

64. I heard on the news last night that there are 500,000 doses available and no one is signing

up for them. WTF. I've been on the over 65 list for two months and no phone call of email. I check everyday and no appointments. There is a bog disconnect somewhere.,

[LisaL]

65. Pharmacies have their own websites where you can sign up for appointments.

NT

[milestogo]

66. And the pharmacies in my area are always fully booked.

[LisaL]

67. You have to check multiple times for appointments.

That's how I got the vaccine.

[milestogo]

69. I've been checking every fucking day for 6 weeks.

[carburyme]

82. Explore your County if you haven't yet

Just like you we have registered in the main database of my state which is VA Dept of Health been waiting and waiting and been inquiring from the Covid hotline to find out why my hubby who is diabetic has not been called yet for appointment until now. We also explored Walgreens/CVS and our health providers but can’t get any appointment. Somebody told me my county’s health Dept is taking appointments and this one lead led to a Pfizer appointment this Wed 21st of April for me and hubby hallelujah!!!

We should have been done weeks ago with our first shots had we known....smh

[BluesRunTheGame]

70. I'll get my 2nd Moderna shot next Friday!

[tblue37]

71. My 2nd Pfizer will be on Tuesday.

[Mad_Machine76]

73. Pfizer 100%

I'm glad to see that nobody here is refusing to get it- at least insofar as they're willing to admit it.

[Demovictory9]

74. kick for more voting

[Initech]

75. Going for shot #2 on Tuesday!

[Buckeye_Democrat]

79. Congrats!

I received my 2nd dose of Moderna on Thursday. Felt fatigued and light-headed almost exactly 24 hours later, with a temp of 101 F. It lasted for about a day.

Feeling great now! And so relieved to get it done!

[OhioChick]

80. Great!!

[canetoad]

78. AstraZeneca

First shot last Friday morning.
