Got my Moderna booster shot today! ...

[marble falls]

... and the 'buzz' is as strong as the first two shots were!

Thank-you Biden/Harris!!!

Wifey got her Pfizer hit, too. We're giggling like children!

They've improved the magnetism feature, and the transmitter signal is now in stereo hifi!

[RKP5637]

1. That's great news!!!!! n/t

[BluesRunTheGame]

2. That shit is gonna kill ya!

I read it on teh internets.

[marble falls]

4. Now I got the "oh noes"!

[BluesRunTheGame]

8. Yool be sorry!

[marble falls]

11. Not as sorry as if I'da hadda pay for it out of pocket!

[Treefrog]

3. I thought the program wasn't even starting until September 20?

How did you manage it?

[JoanofArgh]

6. Immunocompromised folks can get it now.

[I_UndergroundPanther]

57. I have diabeties

Is that considered an immunocoprimised
Situation. I hear alot of things on the news that point to diabetics being able to get the 3rd shot. Is it true or not?

Because if I can get it soon I'll get it done.

[JoanofArgh]

58. Ok, this is what I found.

From CDC on immunocompromised :

Currently, CDC is recommending that moderately to severely immunocompromised people receive an additional dose. This includes people who have:

Been receiving active cancer treatment for tumors or cancers of the blood
Received an organ transplant and are taking medicine to suppress the immune system
Received a stem cell transplant within the last 2 years or are taking medicine to suppress the immune system
Moderate or severe primary immunodeficiency (such as DiGeorge syndrome, Wiskott-Aldrich syndrome)
Advanced or untreated HIV infection
Active treatment with high-dose corticosteroids or other drugs that may suppress your immune response
People should talk to their healthcare provider about their medical condition, and whether getting an additional dose is appropriate for them


From the Miami Herald: But the blurry guidance has left many Americans with other high-risk health conditions hanging, such as the 122 million with prediabetes and diabetes. Meanwhile the agency says people with type 1 or type 2 diabetes are more likely to get severely sick from COVID-19.

A CDC spokesperson told McClatchy News in an email that people with diabetes who also have one of its listed immunocompromising conditions “should consider getting an additional dose.” The agency did not explain why people with diabetes are not yet eligible to receive a third dose.

I'd call your pharmacy or make an appointment for a shot ,show up and they'll probably give it to you.

[marble falls]

9. I got the cancer thing working, and somehow my wife just slipped in at the CVS.

I was waiting to VA to call me up, but while at the local health/pharmacy put my name into the internet machine with my VA number, it told her to hit me up. They don't carry the Pfizer, but told her she wouldn't have qualified.

We went to the Walgreens and they told her that they were only giving it to the immunocompromised, but at CVS they felt that her being my caretaker qualified us.


At the Walgreens was a line of mostly younger folks coming in for their first shot.

I wanted to yell, "what took so long?????" But refrained. I'm glad their teeny tiny little heads are getting the message.

[beaglelover]

23. My HIV+ husband got his on Tuesday. Certain people can get them now.

[Treefrog]

24. Good to hear!

I’m way way down the list, but glad those who need it can get it!

[beaglelover]

25. Me too. I'll wait till 8 months past my 2nd shot which will be 12/26.

[Sancho]

64. We just walked into CVS and got the booster

....no questions.

[JoanofArgh]

5. Yay!!

Won't be able to get mine until November.

[moonscape]

7. Got my 3rd Moderna Wednesday. Yay! Wed night

my arm was sore and my body felt run over by a truck. But by last night I was fine.

[marble falls]

10. My first Moderna was like that, but it sure beats a ventilator! The second one was a lot easier ...

... though the sore arm came back a week later for a couple of days.

Whatever comes from this will be a cakewalk compared to the alternative, it's worth it in peace of mind.

[moonscape]

12. Absolutely!

[gademocrat7]

13. Also got my Moderna Booster this morning.

I am vaxed to the max!

[marble falls]

15. Put a bounce in my step!

[appalachiablue]

22. Happy for you & the Mrs. Got your MoJo workin'!

[marble falls]

34. Thanks for that vid! That Newport Jazz Fesitival is the best one, Bob Dylan went electric here.

[Maine Abu El Banat]

14. Does the transmitter

Have Bluetooth? And I for one love the magnetic features, I haven't lost my keys in months. I'm not eligible till December, glad you and your wife are safe.

[marble falls]

16. AND in G6!!! ...

Be safe!

[Harker]

17. Watch out for flying spoons! n/t

[marble falls]

18. The cast iron already stuck there saved me.

[Harker]

35. Ooooh.

You could be a great success at panhandling.

[marble falls]

40. But not the 50 yd dash. And the hurtles are totally out.

[Harker]

41. I suppose not.

As a lad, I was always being told to get the lead out of my arse.

[roamer65]

19. I wondered what that signal was on my FM dial.

[marble falls]

20. It the Big Blue sound of competence in the WH.

[SheltieLover]

21. Yaaaaaay!

Congrats to you both!

Very much looking forward to getting mine.

Did you wait the reccommended full 8 months from 2nd shot?

[CanonRay]

26. Got my 3rd Pfizer yesterday

Strongest reaction so far.

[marble falls]

27. Start today or immediately?

[CanonRay]

29. Really hit when I got up this morning

Body ache, weakness, slight headache.

[ProfessorGAC]

28. So, Now You Have Three Chips?

Or is there just a battery to keep the chip working in the 3rd shot?
Good for you, marble!

[marble falls]

30. It's a 6G chip! It just wires itself into one's nervous system. No muss, no fuss.

[ProfessorGAC]

53. You Will Become One With The Borg!

[iemanja]

31. Does the booster need to be from the same manufacturer

as your original doses?

[marble falls]

36. There's been discussion about that. Some say it doesn't matter, some say it helps, some say it's bad

... there's no consensus, yet. And the official line for now is, stay the same.

[Totally Tunsie]

38. Yes.

[TurboDem]

32. I got my 3rd Pfizer yesterday.

I had trouble eating my cereal this morning. The spoon kept getting stuck to my forehead.

[marble falls]

37. Of course that happened to me daily before Covid!

[TexasTowelie]

51. Congrats, that means that you would be a perfect Cardassian

if you want to appear on a Star Trek series.

[Skittles]

61. STOP IT TURBODEM

YER KILLING ME

[BobTheSubgenius]

33. Congratulations!

I especially like the part that makes it harder to lose one's keys.

*hoping*

[marble falls]

39. I have to remind myself to keep them straight: left cheek car key; right cheek, house ...

... forehead - mailbox.

[BobTheSubgenius]

68. Nice...

[Rebl2]

42. Got my

3rd Pfizer Tuesday and has made me very tired this time. First two didn’t bother me at all.

[marble falls]

45. Same day or all day Wednesday.

[Rebl2]

54. Wednesday

and Thursday. Feel less tired today. Day of shot (Tuesday) didn’t feel anything and arm wasn’t sore until next day. Still a little sore today, but soreness is nothing to me.

[marble falls]

55. Sounds a little miserable but tolerable. Thanks for gettin' yer shot!

[Missn-Hitch]

43. Any gayness? How about skin color?

Can't wait to get mine. Congrats!

[marble falls]

44. Welllll ... I did flip my hair back and deep cleaned my pores but that could just be my "metro" ...

... self coming out of the closet again.

I asked the tech doing the shot to stop when I got to a healthy tan.

[Missn-Hitch]

47. LOL!! Have a good weekend.

[Totally Tunsie]

46. Right there with you, Marble Falls...

I had my third Moderna on Tuesday, and this one really packed a punch. I sat down on the couch on Tuesday night to watch TV and didn't wake up until Thursday at 3:30 a.m. with lights and TV still on and no food or meds in my belly. Spent Thursday in a cold sweat, but finally feel mobile today, just in time to prepare for a direct hit by Henri over the weekend.

I signed up online for my appointment after reading an article containing a CVS link which would determine eligibility. It seemed as though the only real restriction was that of timeframe - as long as I was 5 months from the second shot, I was good to go. When I got to CVS, I verified that this would be considered the booster and that I could get the shot even though not immunocompromised. No problem. They said CVS decided since there was enough vaccine available, they would start boosters now, rather than waiting until September.

NOTE: As I just checked to get the link, I see that their website is now stating September start unless immunocompromised. My CVS wasn't being stringent about this.

[marble falls]

49. Thanks for the heads up about what to look for. I'm starting the hot tea and soup to get ...

... in front of it.

[Totally Tunsie]

60. Hopefully you'll sail through.

I tend to react more than most to immunizations, so I'm not a good example of what to expect. Had strong reactions to the first two also.

Get rest and feel well!

[GentryDixon]

48. I got mine, too. 💉

[marble falls]

50. Ain't it grand?

[GentryDixon]

52. Indeed

[I_UndergroundPanther]

56. I want a booster

But how do I get one
I have conditions that make the risk worse.

I'm already vaxxed with my two shots of Moderna.

Can you walk into a walmart pharmacy and get it done yet?

What did you do and where did you go to get it done?

[Totally Tunsie]

59. Do you have a CVS near you? (LOL - doesn't everyone?)

Here's the link to sign up for CVS booster. I believe most of their stores are using Moderna.

https://www.cvs.com/immunizations/covid-19-vaccine?cid=ps_cvdvcc_bd&gclid=Cj0KCQjwpf2IBhDkARI

No panic, no rush at present. You can get ahead of the crowd!

Good luck!

ETA: Just an FYI - You don't need to have all your shots done in the same location, but they should all be of the same type. Don't mix the brands - If you start with Moderna, stay with Moderna.

[Rhiannon12866]

62. I got Moderna at CVS, since that was the first one available to me

And, around here, Walgreens is offering Pfizer, I know several friends who went there.

[Rhiannon12866]

63. K&R and thanks for checking in! Are you and the magnetic Mrs Falls now covered with keys and spoons?

[marble falls]

65. We even got the keys to the creepy little shack by the river. And the forks are now a little ...

trickier, you gotta kinda lead then and just turn as they hit.

[Rhiannon12866]

67. Just be careful out there! And don't put an eye out!

[Roisin Ni Fiachra]

66. Congrats. I'm triple vaxxed as well. Three cheers for

Joe and Kamala!
