My DS3 (only 22 but health issues) in the UK got his AZ/Oxford vaccine yesterday. He has been REALLY sick! He's been basically bedridden since yesterday afternoon with flu symptoms. I heard from my ex SIL (a French doc) that the AZ seems to knock younger people out. DS1 (mid 30s, also in the UK) confirmed that their teacher/healthcare friends (in their 30s) also had a rough time for 24-36h. DH and I (early 60s) had no problem with it. So strange! DH is a Brit, so EVERYONE in his family has had it, with a very minimal reaction till DS3 had it yesterday. DH's 4 doc/healthcare cousins and his 80+YO aunt have all been vaccinated, with minimal side effects. Any thoughts pulmonarymd ? Please feel free to ignore me/my question if you don't feel like answering.

My 28 yo son woke with shaking chills, sweats, and ridiculous fatigue the night after he received his second dose of the Pfizer vaccine. He is likely having a significant reaction to vaccine, which should subside in 24 hours. If could year he could be infected with COVID-19, or he had an asymptotic case and now has a significant reaction as a result. Time will tell

Got my second dose of Modern yesterday. Just like last time, the area I got the shot feels like someone hit it with a hammer. Last time, that last about 3 days. This time, it started a little faster and I got achy all over. I went to bed early (kind of - since its daylight savings and I"m all messed up with that too), and woke up with chills and fever. After trying to power through it for a while, mostly because I didn't want to get out from under the covers, I took some tylenol. After about an hour or so, I felt better and was able to sleep. My sleep was pretty crappy though between the fever and the sore arm. I usually change from side to side at night, but could only lay on one side. At least my fever is pretty much gone this morning. Still much better than COVID! Also - one of my friends got the JnJ vaccine Saturday. She had a similar side effects to my second dose - sore arm, fever.

I was pretty sick after my second shot of Pfizer. It lasted about 24 hours once it set in.

I was pretty sick after my second shot of Pfizer. It lasted about 24 hours once it set in. I’m hoping my wife can avoid a similar reaction. Her second shot is about 12 hours before we get on a plane to head south. She was fine after the first one, which was worst for me, the second was much better.

My DH and I got the first dose of Moderna a couple of hours ago. I'm so relieved! Georgia's rollout has been atrocious but we became eligible today and I was shocked that I was able to get us signed up for appointments at our local Publix. We're going to the beach in Florida for spring break in three weeks and I was getting very anxious that we wouldn't be vaccinated in time. We'll obviously still mask up, etc. but my experience in North Georgia in October makes me concerned that a Florida beach town will be filled with 'hoaxers' and 'it's my right not to wear a mask' people.

I am very relieved. DH, 71 with some serious health conditions got his first Moderna shot today. Maryland has not done a good job distributing the vaccine. I'm 61 so it'll be a while for me.

We signed up with this site - Dr.B - hidrb.com/ to see if we get called for leftover doses or canceled appointments. If not, it will take us a while to get in line. My niece & her DH volunteered at a covid clinic for a few days and got their first shot.

I mean, no one will be wearing masks out on the beach. And walking around outside the majority won't be wearing them either. In stores it depends what areas you go to - some counties still have mask mandates and some don't. It'll also vary with capacity at restaurants - though that's even within the same area. I've been to some that if they aren't back at full capacity you coulda fooled me, and then others that are still at lower capacity. It's actually the chains that tended to be a lower capacity over local places.

It's the thought of going into the fun little beach stores and restaurants and being shoulder-to-shoulder with no-maskers that makes me uncomfortable. My daughter went to Jekyll Island with her friend and parents a few months ago and three women entered the Starbucks without masks and started yelling at the barista that it was "their right" not to wear masks. For some reason small-town vacation areas seems to bring out the crazies! We're heading to Anna Maria Island and I'm really hoping for a relaxing few days.

I was in St Pete and while it's north of there I was less mask wearing than over towards the east where the counties still have mask ordinances. Went up north to St Augustine and there's no mask mandate, most places required masks but they weren't making the biggest deal but we saw some places with "no mask" signs on their door.

Both my kids got the Pfizer vaccine this morning at Kroger. There are 2 Walgreens within 5 miles of my house that have 40 open appointments for tomorrow so I called to see if I could get my 1st dose. If they have open slots it's worth a shot (pun intended)

Jelloshots4all - DH signed us up through Walgreens for the 16th street community center which is about 20th and Oklahoma. I think it is a community site, so they have less restrictions. I did not know Kroger was giving shots. Which shot did they get there? duh I see you said the Pfizer Vaccine.
I told DH that I was surprised at the long line and the lack of social distancing. He said he had told the guy behind him to back up a bit b/c the same thought occurred to him. They kept us waiting mostly outside (and it is cold here yesterday and today), but when you had sit and wait after your shot the chairs seemed to only be about 4 ft apart not 6 ft. I was not to concerned as we did have Covid in November, but

My daughter went to a P&S in Greenfield this morning with an appointment and she said it was busy, but enough distancing.

I'm at almost 24 hours and the only side effect is an aching arm and even that's easing up now. I don't know whether to be happy or concerned that my immune system isn't mounting any sort of response!

I’m also in Georgia and DH and I just got our first Moderna shots. Whoo hoo! I’m 60 and they just opened this week for 55 to 65 year olds. I live in N Ga with a high percentage of Covid deniers so very pleased to finally get one.

So the County Board of Supervisors met with the County Health Department last night. The newly elected supervisor wants a timeline of when all the people over 65 will be vaccinated and how many have declined to be vaccinated.
The County Health Department told him there is no way of knowing when all people over 65 have received the vaccine due to such problems as communication and no internet. There is also no way to know how many have declined to be vaccinated because people who are going to places like Walgreens are getting vaccinated. She has to contact the regular health care providers to see what the rate of people saying no is. It is not an exact science and he had a hard time understanding that. Health Department said some of the no's have been because they call the person and want them to come the same day or the next day and they either need to arrange a ride or have a conflict. They need more time to get there than a couple of hours, especially if their ride has to get off work
There were two mass vaccine events last week. There were volunteers from the community. One was a different county supervisor. She said during the time she was there she saw no people of color and that is very concerning. Yes, it is. There is a clinic for the uninsured that is scheduled to receive 100 vaccines in mid April. The supervisor wants more outreach in the poorest parts of town to make sure everyone has access to vaccines and for other providers to get them vaccinated as 100 vaccines in mid April will not be enough.

I'm not sure I understand this. Isn't there a vaccination database for the entire state? Here it doesn't matter where you get your covid shot (or any vaccine for that matter). It goes into the system showing you have it. If I take my kid to a different healthcare provider they can pull up all their vaccinations. So determining how many over 65 have been vaccinated is pretty easy if you have up to date census data for the state/county. We broke 70% of over 65 were vaccinated last week. That's when they moved on to the next phase.

They should have an idea how many over-65s live in the county (extrapolation from census data) and should have a total of first and second vaccines administered to that age group whether it was at CVS or the Health Department. I see MPL made these observations first! I don't know if you'll ever get an accurate could of the people saying "no". Five of the 7 lists where I signed up have gotten back to me with opportunities to get an appointment. I haven't responded to the last 4 because I had one dose via the first one and my second is already scheduled ay the same site. What you really need is the "No, I am refusing the opportunity", "No, I went elsewhere" and "I'd love to get vaccinated but can't find the opportunity" counted separately.

We have a statewide and county wide database. I am on several wait lists and when contacted, I will tell them I have the vaccine.
The questions you state, athena, is what needs to be happening.
We've moved on to the next several levels to get vaccinated.
I do share the concern about people of color not getting vaccinated for various reasons. Much of that is access and no information. The bigger clinics have been held out in the county. The poorest people in town do not drive. Same for many elderly.
I know the county is going back to nursing homes to see if the no's for both patients and employees will please get vaccinated.
The horrible meat packing plants have been vaccinating their employees (after not using PPE, etc and having many deaths). Only 40% have said yes to the vaccine. The plan is more education.

We will be getting called back to work soon. We had a handful if people who did not get the vaccine for one reason or another. Do you think we'll have to wear masks for this handful? I'd be really pissed off. Most of them are full of crap.

I got no reaction to the AZ vaccine ... but some people about 1 in 10 are getting flu like symptoms.
Don't know what the heck Europe are doing....... they haven't vaccinated enough and are heading to a third wave.
There's nothing like piddling around in a crisis.

We signed up with this site - Dr.B - hidrb.com/ to see if we get called for leftover doses or canceled appointments. If not, it will take us a while to get in line. My niece & her DH volunteered at a covid clinic for a few days and got their first shot. I'm not saying this with any sort of judgement at all, it's just more of an observation. Is there really a difference between signing up for an appointment vs. signing up for the "extra" doses? I know one makes you feel a little less guilty, but the end result is the same. At this point, I don't think it's really an "in my arm or the garbage" type of situation.

One of my friends got her through the extra vaccine program, so we just signed up. If we get one, its ok. If not, we will wait.
