Who Here has Gotten COVID shot?
-
Still waiting. I've had emails from the State of Massachusetts telling me I'm still pre-registered, which is getting a little tiresome.
To be honest, I'm kind of done waiting at this point. The wife's younger than me, so her wait will presumably be even longer.

@doctor-phibes Phibes, I registered with our state, and have never heard back at all from the state since then., which was many weeks ago. I registered with my county when the next group opened, and I heard back in a few days directly from my county. If there's another way to register in your area, maybe try that one, too.

@brenda thanks, I’ll take a look and see if the town or county do anything

Received my first Pfizer poke yesterday morning. No side effects whatsoever.
I had originally thought I would get mine in June and my spouse would get hers in April being that she works in a cancer hospital. No and in fact, from what one of the radiation oncologists told her, it is the only cancer hospital in North America where the health care staff have not received priority vaccinations.
Elbows up!

Just curious who here so far has gotten the COVID shot? Either the first or the second?
I think that @bachophile is the only one so far to have both?

That doesn't make a lot of sense, given that she could bring it in among patients with already weakened immune systems. There must be more to it than I am aware of.

The official rationale is since most patients are out patients the medical and rehab med staff are in full PPE for all treatments and assessments the risk is minimal. Strangely enough they have yet have had any outbreaks within the hospital or traceable transmissions back to the hospital since this pandemic began last March. We'll see what happens now with the variants spreading. I suspect the vaccines are now going to happen sooner rather than later. The Doctors are beginning to complain publically.

Well guess what hit the local news waves this afternoon....
We found out about it last night via text message from an OT my wife works alongside.
Scuttlebutt among the staff is that it is one of the variants either P1 or P3. If the former, that's not good.
I know someone who's going to be tested up the nose tomorrow am.

Hope all turns out well.

D4 got the J & J vaccine yesterday AM.
This morning: Chest pain, brain fog, SOB, and a temp of 101.

The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

Test this am. Results Friday.
In the meantime, first Pfizer dose scheduled for 3 pm Monday. Suddenly the cancer hospital staff become priorty health care providers. How amazing!
-
I hope everything is OK, Renauda.
Just got an email from the State of MA saying I'll get another email tomorrow allowing me to book my shot. Not sure why they need to send two emails, but there you go. There's a big vaccination center at the Patriots stadium, so hopefully it will all be pretty straightforward.

I'm just gobsmacked that the cancer hospital wasn't given priority in the first place. Hope everything goes well from here on.
