Vaccine

Got Moderna shot no. 2 yesterday. 7 minutes from check in to shot, then 15 minutes for side effects. National Guard were first rate. No pain or side effects for me, some arm soreness for wife. It’s good to live in a small state. Definitely still wearing masks. Don’t want to be mistaken for a Republican, or Idahoan.

Now can’t wait for my 30-something kids to be eligible for their shots.

ZERO ill effects.

Dumped the Arizona state website for vaccine appointment (cuz it was shit) and went to Walgreens.

Got an appointment right away. Automatically set up the second dose appointment as well...

Very relieved.

My 2nd dose is on April 1st.... Got ya beat!!

Sorry, really shouldn't be flippant about this considering 514,319 fellow Americans have already died. MOST due to the stupidity, incompetence, and vile cruelty of the MOST DISGUSTINGLY IGNORANT, TRAITOROUS PIG in US history.

But I am relieved, somewhat, in getting the vaccine since my company designated me an "essential worker". Meaning I had to show up every week. I had no choice to lock down.

But good for you, ell.....we may survive this tragedy yet...........

That's great news, elleng! We got our 2nd shots a couple of weeks ago so now we feel a little bit safer.

We got the Moderna vaccine and my wife had no reaction to it. I got really sick for about 8-10 hours but then felt fine. I'm told my reaction was "severe and unusual" so I hope the best for you.
