D4 got the J & J vaccine yesterday AM.

This morning: Chest pain, brain fog, SOB, and a temp of 101.

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.

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.

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

Godspeed, Renauda.

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.

Finally, I've got my first shot today (Biontech/Pfizer).

And that was only possible after letting a couple of scripts run on my computer which polled the nearby vaccination centers for free slots multiple times per minute.

In six weeks I'm due for the second shot.

I don't really give a damn about the vaccination, though. All I really want is the piece of paper I get.

I've been confined to quarters for reasons unrelated to COVID, so I remain unshot.

(NO, it's not house arrest!)

Sad.

It's literally walk into multiple pharmacies around here, no waiting, just walk up and fill out your paperwork. They make you wait for 20 minutes after the shot, but the whole process doesn't take 30 minutes.

I'm sorry to hear this, Cats. I hope this changes for you soon. It's no fun to be cooped up. Can you be outdoors some of the time? That helps immensely.

The process itself is also very quick here. It's just the vaccine and hence the slots that are rare.

Thanks, Brenda. I'm working on changing things for the better. It's a confluence of things, each separate, but each affecting the others. Kinda weird.

Beware, that marks you as selfish in the eyes of many. The social benefit of getting vaccinated should cause a decent person to care.
