Had my first vaccine shot today

Got the first shot of the Moderna COVID-19 Vaccine at noon today at Walgreens.
Go back in 29 days for shot #2.

Some shoulder pain, but from what I read on my forums that goes away after a day.

I do seem to have a craving for some ice cream.

Got my 1st Pfizer yesterday!

Found it on the CDC vaccine locator & had it in my arm less than 24 hours later!

Just some mild arm discomfort here.

Here is site. Search by zip & manufacturer.

Then had pfizer in my arm in less than 24 hours! Worth the effort!

The CDC shows appointments at pharmacies, not mass vax sites.

Good luck & let us know when you score!

It took about a hundred hours refreshing websites to grab that appointment. I've been eligible for more than seven weeks.

Mine will be Moderna as well.

I hate needles. Did they have a lollipop for you? It used to make it all better for me, mumble mumble years ago. I never got ice cream.
