Got my first Pfizer

shot today. Signed up on V-Safe so CDC can check with me everyday for any problems. So far so good, no sore arm or anything. Back March 3 for second shot. Took 5 minutes to get the shot plus the 15 minute wait time after.

For my first Moderna vaccination. Ever so slight sore arm. I was ecstatic! First building I’ve been in since February 3rd of last year.

Mine was a drive through site, so no building for me. It was fast and efficient, though.

My hubby had the Pfizer shot a week ago. A little bit of sore arm that evening which was gone by the next day.

I had the Moderna vaccine yesterday and 4 hours later it started to get sore at the injection site. Almost 24 hours later and now it's only slightly sore!

I went to the Giant supermarket pharmacy to pick up a prescription and there were a few old people standing around filling out forms, so I fell in line, and they had a shot for me. Took about 20 minutes altogether. the line was really getting long as I left. Just lucky timing. I’m pretty happy about it

No problems for me either ... yet. The nurse said symptoms appear 6-12 hours later. I’m fine with any temporary symptoms that might appear. Well worth it!

I just had a slightly sore arm the next day, and took a nap.

However, I do love my naps with a podcast. Unknown if the vaccine had anything to do with it. My 2nd one is in two weeks. I can’t wait till all of DU gets done. Breathing a bit easier.

Our county health department has really been doing an excellent job of keeping things organized.

We register on their special link; they send an email to comfirm that and that you will get an email when your location has been assigned.

When I got to my location, I was instructed to park and text in that I had arrived then wait in the car for the text to come in. I barely got my text finished before I got their message back.
