Got our first Covid shots today [View all]

Got our first Covid-19 shots (Moderna) at a Johnston County NC drive thru clinic this morning. Arrived at 7:20 AM, line started moving at 10:00, out of there (after 15 min waiting for adverse reactions) at 11:15. There were 500 doses available today, 2nd clinic this week. Our own county, Wayne, does it by appointment and so far we have heard nothing from them so we decided to take a chance on a neighboring county on a first come, first served basis. Next shot after 28 days.

You probably recall how the advice about giving aspirin to children BumRushDaShow Jan 2021 #27

The CDC did not say anything about not taking tylenol or ibuprophen with the Covid vaccine LeftInTX Jan 2021 #29

The "radio doctor" is actually a reporter quoting Dr. Paul Offit BumRushDaShow Jan 2021 #30

FYI - My brother got his second shot this week and had an adverse reaction brooklynite Jan 2021 #15
