My grandma got second dose of Moderna yesterday. She was fine immediately after. Started having trouble breathing last night. My dad said she sounds awful. She finally went to ER. I'm waiting to hear from them.

I'm waiting to hear from them. I hope she ends up OK. Shortness of breath or breathing issues following the shot is a scary reaction.

I'm waiting to hear from them. Hope it is nothing serious. I get my second Moderna tomorrow and am definitely nervous. Quite a few from work did their second one today, so I'm hoping they all show up tomorrow feeling ok.

Everyone else I know who got shot two had some chills, sweats, flu like symptoms and they were gone in a day or two. I've heard being hydrated helps.
Still waiting on all the test results but the breathing treatment they gave her in the ER helped.

The boys at home get their shots tomorrow. Can't come soon enough - local case numbers are rising again, rapidly. Two patrons this week have told me they've recently had Covid. One fellow tonight said he'd had it twice, once last year, and again recently! And idiots are suing to get schools open 5 days a week ASAP!

All the tests they ran didn't show anything. Breathing treatment helped so they sent her home with steroids and inhalers. My dad talked to her and said she sounded much better.

I was just reading that they stopped dispensing J&J at a couple sites in NC due to people fainting.

that makes sense, it's an adverse reaction that needs to be investigated. hopefully it's cleared up soon, there are many reasons someone would faint. I hope it isn't anything serious regarding the vax with so many successful vaxxes already.

So glad I didn't read that before I went in. I have 7 minutes left in my 15 minute wait and was very close to fainting after the first one.

Before I got my shot, I read that you should make sure you eat and drink before you go. I'm definitely a fainter, so I did just that and had no problems. I had Pfizer, though.

My fainting is all psychological from panic disorder. I drank before mine too and it helped.

I can see people whose minds are racing anyhow struggling with feeling the vaccine burning through your arm. I mean it's why I fainted after the shingles vaccine.

I also suspect there's a lot of people with needle phobias getting this shot. They may get themselves all worked up into a panic. The nurse who gave me the first Moderna dose asked if I had a history of fainting with shots.
I was able to help 4 more people find appointments today. There seems to be lots of availability so I'm trying to think of everyone who still needs an appointment.

Second shot of Pfizer. Was impressed at efficiency when I received my first shot. (22 minutes from getting out of vehicle to shot in arm) Hoped for equal on this shot. This time 10 minutes from getting out of vehicle until shot in arm. Have a slight headache and a bit light headed. Going to spend the day resting.

DH had to wait about an hour for his shot despite the appt. I’m second guessing myself for sending him there bc it’s in the state hotspot...but it was the first appt I managed to snag, and mostly outside and n95 and all that jazz. He got Pfizer so he won’t be too far behind me and my Moderna. He also seemed to get fewer side effects, but it’s entirely possible I’m just a wuss.

There seems to be lots of availability so I'm trying to think of everyone who still needs an appointment. Here they are finally admitting that availability is so low that people who want an appointment need to look outside our county. Well that has been true for weeks now as they reduced promised supplies by 40% since we are doing so well and other areas have higher infection rates. Problem id we are slambam in the middle of a very blue, pro-science/vaccine areas and people have to look at places 3, 4, or more hours aw One couple among my friends managed to snatch appointments 2hours away. The problems is that they were in opposite directions, so no going together. And next week they open up appointments to everyone over 16. I don't see how that makes sense if you can't even inocculate the current cohort because of supply problems

Nephew and wife were hoping to find J & J vaccines. It sounds like the supply of those is very small. The expected amount to be received for this week is not happening.
I know they don't want to stay for 3 weeks to get the 2nd vaccine, but those appointments can be found. I sent them a link to Pfizer for Monday and Tuesday. They should definitely be here by Tuesday.
Nephew said they'd be appointment hunting on the drive.

There is definitely a smaller supply of J&J. I saw many appointments for it throughout the state on Friday, a lot more than last week when I was searching for my in laws. There was more Moderna/Pfizer than J&J. I'm wondering with all this availability, if we are approaching saturation. It opens to everyone on Monday so hopefully that helps book up those appointments.

J and J supply took a hit with the contamination issue at the Baltimore plant. 15 million doses had to be discarded. We had planned to use that one to vaccinate patients who we hospitalized for other reasons than COVID. That may not work as well as we had hoped.

We as a state are getting 80% fewer doses of the J and J vaccine next week. Will delay some people's dose. I think the bigger problem is that sometime next month we will have more vaccine than people who wish to be vaccinated, and will be begging people to get their shot.

I think we are rapidly approaching that point. I hope that opening my state to everyone helps use up some more vaccines. I feel like we are rapidly getting to the point where those who want to be vaccinated have been able to get it and its not a high enough percentage.

Soon the US will have a surplus of vaccines Might donate to other countries but companies also might worry about being open to liabilities, although other counties aren’t as prone to bring suits as is the US Possibly donate to Mexico and Canada

Up to now, it is >60 and essential personnel. I guess the state finally decided refinery workers are essential personnel as we got a call from TD’s old boss about coming down for a vaccine. We had been immunized a week earlier!

The President says all states will be open to vaccinating everyone age 16 and over as of April 19.

Ex 1.0 got really sick after his second shot Friday but he just had surgery on his hand a couple weeks ago and its hurting massively so he doesn't know if its the vaccine or a raging infection in his arm. He called urgent care yesterday and they said an infection wouldn't cause pain which seems like BS. Going to try and get in to see his surgeon tomorrow.
