They said they'd know a source of it by Monday and would give me the rx for it. I'm 73, didn't know abaout the killer 75 order. This is really bad. My sister is 70 and already has bad lungs, the same condition that killed our mom. I had a bad reaction when I had Covid and it really messed with my oxygen percentage. Mother fuckers are just trying to kill off the working class/poor any way they freaking can.

But you can get it if you are immunocompromised or have some other underlying condition. Coworker got his that way. But he also knew the pharmacist.

FL is such an aggravating state to live. Wish all my family wasn't here because I don't want to leave them. Sigh.

Getting mine in New Jersey this week, and my flu shot six weeks later -- getting it by Halloween has its antibodies fully operational by New Years.

I plan on getting mine this Saturday.

Can not get it sooner because I had chemotherapy treatment on Friday and my oncologist prefers me to separate a few days between treatment and vaccinations.

My doctor gave me a prescription (live in NC); this was before our Democratic governor, Josh Stein made prescriptions unnecessary.

That's a two-shot protocol. The first one, then the second (a booster) anywhere from a month to three months later. Our pharmacist recommended three months, so we went with his recommendation.

I am so relieved to get this as I’m not sure it will be available when I turn 50 due to RFK jr.

I had a grandmother figure who had Shingles and I NEVER want to experience that!

After witnessing the wretchedness first hand, I decided this was something I wanted to avoid.

She had it on her face, very close to her right eye. The itchiness/pain cycles drove her wild.

Good luck with the vax. My husband and I had no side effects, btw.

They had both Moderna and Pfizer. My previous shots were Moderna so I selected that one.

I'm caring for my 96 year old aunt 3 afternoons a week. She had a moderate stroke in her mid brain a couple of weeks ago. I know she will die sooner or later, but I would hate to get COVID-19 and infect her!
