Everything hurts and I have the chills but I can't stop laughing because I forgot how sick felt.

I'm 24 hours past my second shot, and just my upper arm near the injection site is sore.

So my niece has covid....again.
She got it last spring, tested positive, was pretty sick and recovered. Then a few weeks ago, she needed to drive one of her patients (she is working as a counselor in a mental health facility) for a covid test. Neither she nor the patient were masked.
(As an aside here, why was she acting as a caregiver and not vaccinated? Why was she in a car with a possible case and not masked? Why, as an unvaccinated person on staff was she transporting said patient?). My only answer is that my sister thinks covid is a non issue, so her daughter considers it one too?
So as my niece tested positive on PCR for the virus, she had to stay away from the bridal shower that was being thrown for her cousin. According to my sister, she has lost her taste and smell, but feels ok.

In this area, about 25% of health care and caregiver people are declining the vaccine. Newspaper says they can't be fired because the vaccine are under an emergency order so they can't be required.
So your niece probably declined to be vaccinated?
However, both of these people should have been masked during the drive.

Got my Moderna #2 on Thursday. Had a fever of 99.5 (my normal temp is 97.7), body aches, and fatigue yesterday. Today, a migraine; but that may or may not be related since I've always had migraines. Had a rebound headache all day today which had me in bed all day.

Well, except for needing a nap this weekend, I'm back to feeling like my normal self. So, I did survive two doses of Pfizer. Life is good!

We have to go about 60 miles round trip. jealous. mine is 70mi one way. but, the floodgates opened in my state today, and I was able to get in ahead of it. and, with the flavor that presented the least risk for me. pre-registration here didn't give the option to choose, and ended up netting me a risky-for-me flavor. 👎

We only have to drive about 50 miles, so not a biggie.

So I should be nice and not brag that my shot site is only 11 miles away and I know all the backroads?

meh, you're fine. those 70mi are almost all highway, in the middle of the day. I didn't want to hit rush hour in either direction. #1 was mostly smooth sailing, hoping for the same for #2.

Those 70 miles depend on what highway you take. I hate 495 but that's most likely the most direct route for you.

I was happier when I’d blocked out all memories of 93 Moderna #2 yesterday. Arm is not quite as sore but I am really regretting not asking whether I could take migraine meds post vax. Wound up with an ice pack on my head and taking my last hoarded tylenol 3. Still low energy today.

We got to the clinic early and just walked on in. Sadly there were very few folks there to be vaccinated, and it was all seniors. Our local mega-site has gone from appointment-based to no-appointment-required because they just don't have people signing up. The nurse that vaccinated me said she gets lots of pushback from her friends who won't take it.

We were lucky. I went 1.5 miles for my shot. Hubby got his first shot at a clinic I volunteered at 10 miles away. Other people we know went to counties a couple of hours away.

Still low energy today. Oof sorry. I hope you start to feel better. I went on an almost 5 mile nature walk before my 2nd shot and my hips were sore but I knew I couldn't take Aleve before my shot so I was fucked for pain the next day. Sore from hiking and immune response.

The nurse that vaccinated me said she gets lots of pushback from her friends who won't take it. I think that trend will continue everywhere once the initial flood of those wanting to be vaccinated has passed. It’s too bad really, but until people are forced to do it (I don’t expect this will happen), many will not get a shot. We are likely to see the death toll continue to rise as it becomes the new “normal”. I wonder how long it will be before insurance policies stop paying out if you weren’t vaccinated?

It just got easier here. No ID or questions asked. This is our Annual Multi-Cultural festival at a town park bringing together all the various ethnic groups we have. Also featuring great food and crafts.

Our mega site still requires appointments and they are being snapped up. Last Thursday, first day for anyone 16 and over they administered 12,000 shots, on Friday 7,000. Still limited by supply as they have the capability of up tp 15,000 per day. As for getting there: for me is was 2 right turns and 5.5 miles to get there. For some reason I hit a sweet spot and all traffic lights were green. The universe was watching out for me

Iowa has 99 counties. Over 40 counties turned down their allocations for this week.
The clinics are now walk in clinics and vaccine is being wasted.
Trying to figure out how to get 16 to 18 year olds vaccinated. I'm glad my niece is in health care and got her 16 year old vaccinated the first week he was eligible.
I know she will do the same when her younger teenager is eligible.
So even though my crazy sister is still certain she had a false positive, she wants everyone in our immediate family vaccinated.
In two weeks, the great niece who doesn't qualify will be the only one not fully vaccinated.
