Have Any of You Gotten The Vaccine?

[Meeko]

Utah is doing the vaccine right now for K-12 teachers and staff. Childcare providers have to wait until March

I want mine. 60/diabetic.......wish I could get it now.

Any vaccine has some side effects, but they are not very critical and basically all people tolerate them quite easily, so you have nothing to fear.

My niece-in-law had her second dose last week and said she had no effects? My other niece-in-law was scheduled as well with her vaccine doses as they work at the same hospital, but now that she is pregnant they have waited till she sees the doctor.....said she would get the vaccine just waiting to see if she can do that in the first trimester or wait till the second?

I wonder why the hypoxia? There is no SARS-covid in these vaccines. I would totally understand the hypoxia if there were actual virus in the Pfizer/Moderna vaccines. Allergy?

No known allergies. He literally just felt faint and hit the floor, S/S of shock. Wife called 911, transported, hospitalized 5 days. He is still doing RT and riding a desk.

Several more of my friends have had it, now, ad he is the only severe reaction I know of.

So vaccine roll out here has been fairly decent I think.
They've got most the medical front line workers taken care of and are now moving on to child care workers, educators, people with medical conditions and those over age 65.

This morning one my DCM's tells me that both her and her husband got their first vaccination. I asked how since they're in their mid-30ies and neither work in any field that gives them priority nor do either of them have any underlying medical conditions. :confused:

DCM tells me her MIL owns an assisted living facility and they asked to be listed as employees so they were eligible to receive the vaccine there.

I asked if they actually did work there as back up employees and she said nope. They just figured it was the easiest and quickest way to be vaccinated.

That kind of entitled selfishness is astounding sometimes.

Weird! In North Dakota, childcare staff are prioritized BEFORE K12. I'm only 24, but I'm getting it asap.

Meanwhile those in charge keep tripping over their own @!*&$, here. Many, Many will not get their second dose on time, completely skewing study results.

"...pharmacies across the state that received COVID vaccines gave out all of their vaccines quickly without holding any back for patients to get the second dose.... 120,000 additional doses are expected to be delivered this week but it’s not nearly enough to meet the demand....said for now, only those who fall into the Phase 1a category will be eligible to receive the COVID vaccine until more vaccines are available."

This stuff irks me. My son goes to trade school in a neighboring county and it's beside the health dept and he told me last week of people getting the vaccine and I pretty much told him they were probably getting tested or something as it wasn't those particular people's turn, but now I guess he was right. That's just messed up!

It is a complete joke around here to get a vaccine. Unless I have all day to wait for the website to work, I cannot find an available appointment. The closest appointment available to me when the website does work is a four hour drive.

The local news reports that people have shown up for scheduled appointments only to be turned away and some that have gotten their first vaccine don’t know if they’ll be able to get their second in time.

My clients will not be pleased when I close for a day just to get a vaccine. I doubt they’ll be very understanding if I have to take time off due to adverse reactions.

There’s some seriously poor planning in my state.

I likely won’t be getting a vaccine until there’s some evidence that the people implementing the plan have gotten their act together.

Yikes. I hope that's not the case here.
I have my appointment this week during nap time. 15 minutes away and they say to expect 1/2 hour at the site.
Hopefully my husband won't be doing diaper changes and pick ups too!

My sister has signed up for the vaccine for over 75. But I worry about her because she has so many issues with inflammation and immune-deficiency problems. I'm trying to convince her to talk with her PCP but ATM, she's got enough on her plate.

As for the rolling out of the vaccine in our area, I haven't heard of any issues and was quite impressed when I went for mine. They had their system down to an art. For a small town, I believe we have a wonderful hospital.

I got the first dose a couple days ago. My arm is incredibly sore. I woke up 3 times the other night about in tears because my whole arm just hurt so bad. I also had a low grade fever, but that's it so far.

I keep hearing and reading that the side effects from the second shot are worse. I'm wondering if I should plan to close the next day.

"Studies have shown that the antibodies after COVID-19 vaccination will last for three months:"

"projected at this point to serve as a seasonal vaccine as we don't know how individuals will respond to it with long term versus short term immunity."

"antibodies can wane over time, as early as 2-3 months, and reinfection is a possibility. If a vaccine immunity behaves like natural immunity, then we'll likely have to get it every year like a flu shot."

Vaccine

I’ve been open during Covid and will never take the vaccine. Too many people with side affects and deaths. I don’t take a flu shot so this is a definite no.

Now that I’ve had COVID my DR wants me to wait 90 days to take it.....just as it’s being offered to us.
