Hubby and I have vaccine appts. We have to drive an hour but we have appointments.

[demtenjeep]

I feel relieved and I don't care that I have to drive



but it is a shame that we have to drive.

I am a teacher and hubby is an IT security officer



we live in kansas

1. They alternate arms in dose 2. If right handed start with right arm.

Because dose 2 is more likely to hurt your arm.

[Baclava]

11. Not true here. I asked the pharmacist giving my first dose, they use the same arm. It does no harm

[Cicada]

12. I checked, same arm, different arm, makes no difference.

My vaccinator had her own theory I guess.

[Baclava]

13. Just a relief getting one, my county gave out 20 1st doses that day, I was one of them

540 doses total, so they are making sure they get the 2nd dose completed

Moderna 2nd dose already scheduled, more waiting, but better this time, I see a light...

14. The two mRNA vaccines were based on work to kill cancer cells

Now those teams are back to using mRNA to teach our immune system to find and kill cancer cells. One has extremely promising results with an admittedly tiny sample. This approach may find treatments for many diseases. The covid vaccines are only the beginning.

[Baclava]

15. 95% immunity from getting the disease, 100% from getting very sick and dying, I can accept that!

[demtenjeep]

16. my doctor says this has been in the works for 12+ years

and he trusts it 100%

[Tree-Hugger]

2. Congratulations! nt

3. Happy For You

Got my first shot, the Pfizer Vaccine, Today, getting shot 2 March 4. My arm is slightly sore but feel fine otherwise.

Hopefully some of those apprehensive about the shots wise up.

[demtenjeep]

4. did they schedule the 2nd dose when you got your first?

we have no idea

[Lochloosa]

7. yes

[Silver Swan]

5. We drove to another county

We had to use GPS to find the place, but we were happy to do it!

[demtenjeep]

6. its what we are doing

driving an hour away.


a shame really since we live in a huge city but we are doing what we have to do

[DuckBurp]

8. We drove FOUR hours each way ...

I think where anti-vaxxers live and there is an oversupply of vaccine. Anyway, we have both shots now and peace of mind.

[demtenjeep]

10. those of us that are taking it seriously are doing what it takes

I wish maskholes had to wait until the end



however, they are the ones putting us more in danger

[MuseRider]

9. We drove 30 minutes to Lawrence

and got our first there and the second is next week. It was so well organized, it took no time at all. Maybe 10 minutes in the car line to the shot then 15 minutes waiting in the lot before leaving.

[demtenjeep]

17. 24 hours from now we will have our first vaccine

we have to drive an hour



we found a little motel to stay in and since we have no heat in our condo we are leaving in about an hour!
