Just got an e mail from the state saying that a provider will contact me to make an appointment. Not sure where or which vaccine, but my group wasn't supposed to start until the end of April. Hope this isn't some sort of error, because DH got the same e mail. I know they have been having trouble filling appointment.

Shot one done! Yay! So happy. Arm a little sore. Tired but I was up at 4 for some reason so that might just be normal.

I watched this last night. Dr. Tony Berber in particular has a fantastic voice. www.yahoo.com/lifestyle/im-not-throwing-away-shot-160517937.htmlVax’n 8, a group of seven doctors from Northern California, performed a rendition of ‘My Shot’ from Lin-Manuel Miranda’s ‘Hamilton’ in footage posted to YouTube on March 10, with the aim of encouraging people to get the coronavirus vaccine.
The group said the performance “addresses the social, scientific and political issues currently affecting the decision to receive the vaccine against the virus,” adding: “While we completely respect everyone’s freedom of choice, we as a group of physicians support and encourage everyone who can to receive a vaccine based on our understanding of both the science behind its safety, and the global imperative to bring population immunity to the point where the pandemic can finally come to an end.”

DH and I got our 1st Moderna shot this a.m. in a city about 50 miles away. The weather cooperated and the roads were dry-I'm so grateful for DH's ability to drive on freeways. We were in and out again in under 30 minutes. They scheduled us for 2nd Moderna shot on April 20. So far, so good on reactions.

I received shot #1 of the Pfizer vaccine this afternoon. It was at a drive through site and took less then 10 minutes. No side effects to mention thus far although I’ve been hungry since. They scheduled shot #2 for 3 weeks from now. We have a big group of friends who are all getting shots this week so the month of May should be fun.

Have they abandoned the 30 minutes observation after you got your shot? In and out in under 30 minutes and drive-through seem to at least hint in that direction.

I only had to wait 15 minutes after my shot. I went to a vaccine center 22 minutes from parking the car to shot in arm. About 45 minutes until I was on my way home.

I went to vaccine center run by local health department when they were vaccinating healthcare workers. They did an excellent job getting people in and out, including traffic and parking control, pre completion of all paperwork just give your name and they handed you pre filled documentation then go to one of 20 tables giving shots. I was in and out in 8 minutes. They gave you a paper to put in car window to be checked prior to exit of parking lot. You were supposed to wait in car for 15 minutes. There were EMTs in parking area. But I don’t think they were strict about checking before you left, maybe since it was for healthcare workers they were less strict. For my second shot I was in last group of day and after my 15 minutes the people checking were packing up.

The place I went last month had a standard 15-minute wait but a separate section for people assigned a 30-minute wait. It must have been based on medical history.

I got my first jab of Moderna yesterday,
I live in Michigan. I'm 52, a grocery worker and I have a comorbidity. The shot was administered by a pharmacy program and was very low-key. A non-pharmacist delivered the actual injection and then we were pushed out of the flu-shot closet and told to wait 15 or 30 minutes in the waiting area outside. There were never more than three of us there waiting and we were operating on the honor system.
The same location has also hosted larger clinics with more shots administered per day and chairs everywhere.
The injection site is a bit sensitive but I can use the arm without pain.

Gasp-- I'm on the schedule for Friday. Yay! My DH is mad that he wasn't contacted yet. It didn't come from the 2 places I was getting priority from through work. It came from the first county list I signed up for, and he's also on that one.

At Walgreens, for both shots, I was given the time I could leave. It wasn't being enforced after shot 1. After shot 1, it was being enforced. I was told what time I could leave and someone came out and told me I could leave now. When sister got her first shot at Walgreens, they were allowed to wonder the store. After 2nd shot, she had to stay where she could be seen by the Pharmacy for 15 minutes and they told her she could leave.

They recommended we pull into a parking lot and wait for 15 minutes to see if we had an allergic reaction. If we felt ill we were supposed to turn on our hazards and honk our horn. There was a cop in the parking lot that I suppose would radio an EMT if that occurred.

My allergy doctor told me when I can get it, I need to wait 30 minutes and take my epi pen. This is based on a past severe reaction to an injectable medication. The 30 minute timetable was based on guidance from CDC. I'm not sure if that's published publicly or just given to healthcare providers.

Just wait, all these people that won't get one will as some people in their groups get sick, hospitalized and some die. They will slowly drift in and get it but you will never know. But that's what I expect to happen. Because shortly they are going to be super clusters. Of course there will be some diehards. There will be enough of us vaccinated it will effect their church groups and groups that get together. Survival of the fittest I would guess.

We had to wait 15 minutes. They kept track of the time and the check out person called us up when it was time. We got ours at the hospital and they were processing 15 people every 15 minutes so it was a larger waiting room with spread out chairs.

Idaho just announced the vaccine eligibility will open up to everyone 16+ on April 5th. DH really wants the J&J vaccine, but can't find any appointments for it. We will take whatever is offered, but still waiting on the phone call to set up an appointment.

We had to sit around for 30 minutes no medical background asked. Now it could be that 15 minutes is standard time now as my first shot was mid February. It would not amaze me if the protocol evolves as more data becomes available over time.
That goes right along with the changing recommendations we have received over time; with any unknown you have to be willing to adjust as facts become available and I really don't understand why that confuses people

He told me they recommend I stay in the store for 15 min, but I wasn't monitored. My kids both had to sit and wait at the Kroger pharmacy for 15 min, but it wasn't strictly monitored either

Ours was strictly monitored. They stuck a time label on our shirts after the shot and there were people guarding the door of the gym to leave that wouldn't let you leave even one minute before your sticker time.

With shot #2, Walgreens was much better at the entire process. I received shot #1 early in their giving covid vaccines and it was very disorganized.
For shot #2, they had it down to a science. The tech said they have given a lot of vaccines and they had made it work much more efficiently. I noticed the difference.

Got my appt on Sunday about 30 mins away. It's one day early for my tier, but I'm calling it close enough. Now we just have to wait for kids' vaccines. DD12 will be 13 this summer, and I'm hoping there is one for her by the fall.

I am hopeful as well though I've heard it might be the end of the summer before they are able to start vaccinating older kids. Pfizer and Moderna are expected to have results of studies in older kids in next few weeks so maybe that hope isn't premature. It would be great if they could start vaccinating kids soon so the next school year has a better chance.
