Who Here has Gotten COVID shot?

[Renauda]

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.

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.

Godspeed, Renauda.

That's rough, and scary to go through again. I hope it passes soon, and that could take several days. I had a temp, aches, chest tightness, and fatigue for about 5 to 6 days before it started to go away over another few days.

Glad she got the 'one and done' version.

[Doctor Phibes]

I just got the call - I'm booked for next Wednesday.

For some reason, the State of Massachusetts figured it would be better for me to have my vaccination in the center of Boston, rather than 1 mile away at Gillette stadium. Ah well.

At Reggie Lewis?

They told my sister to go to Reggie Lewis. She wouldn't go there because she didn't want to get mugged.

She ended up going some where in Newton or Dedham.

At Reggie Lewis?

No, the Hynes Convention Center. I should be pretty safe there.

Thanks. Test came back negative this am. She is now clear to go for the Pfizer shot on Monday pm.

Obviously fake. The real thing wouldn't boot up that properly.

A bit late to the game - just became a card carrying member of the club (pfizer)

I was pretty much back of the line - and I waited until properly eligible.

So - that gives some indication of the availability of the vaccine.

Something to be thankful for. Hope it turns out as well for everyone else there.

A few cases discovered from the tests among staff including one radiation oncologist, all being the UK variant. Hospital still considered on outbreak.

Vaccine administered on Monday as scheduled with minimal side effects.

Big concern here is that P1 variant cases traced back to BC are starting to be found in Calgary area.
