1. VA has a big questionnaire on their website that shows me when I can get scheduled.

Here's what it tells me:

Based on your responses, you can get the COVID-19 vaccine in the future when it is offered to all people your age.

11. I got an email invite last night for today in Virginia

When I tried to use the link it was already full, no appointments open. Turns out that people shared the link and a ton of people not yet eligible made appointments.

It ended up FUBAR, with them checking IDs at the entrance and sending anyone under 65 away. Some of the ones sent away had valid appointment as first responders, teachers, etc.

What a mess.

[FSogol]

15. Sorry to hear that. I'm healthy, only 54, and can work mostly from home. I only check

to stay up with the info. I'm sure I won't get them until the end of the year.

My wife works for the water company and is considered an essential worker. They were told the water company would have vaccinations for their employees soon, but weeks have gone by and no updates or scheduling has occurred.

22. I'm fortunate in that I can isolate

My SO who works in the medical center labs is fully vaccinated as of 15 days ago, so we are no longer worried about her (and her bringing it home to me). EDIT: We still observe precautions, but much less worried.

I've got a few N95 masks for when I have to go in somewhere about twice a month.

I am 70 and think I am fortunate that I am financially and emotionally able to isolate. In the larger scheme of things, a shot in anyone's arm will help protect me and many others so I wait (sort of ) patiently.

2. First Modena a month ago

Second one tomorrow. First gave me a sore arm for two days and I felt sleepy and slightly feverish the next day. Nothing I couldn’t push myself through. Getting second Modena tomorrow. People I know who got it had either limited reaction or felt like hell for the weekend. My second shingles spot was hell, so I am expecting this one to suck.

[BigmanPigman]

24. I got my first Shingles shot

in March when Covid first started. I got it just in case it would help in case I got Covid. The first shot made my arm sore for a week but the second shot 6 months later had no side effects. My 86 hear old mom got both and didn't even have a sore arm.

[sheshe2]

32. Ha.

Was on a waiting list for that as well. Took me a year to get it. I had no issues with the shingles shot. I had a nasty reaction to the flu shot.

[NRaleighLiberal]

30. my 2 shingles shots didn't have any effects. 1st Moderna

gave me a slight sore arm, but the day after I was listless and napped. Then, fine.

[TexasProgresive]

3. I am 1b and on the list but have received no appointment

I was in my local CVS and saw they will be vaccinating. I am thinking about signing up with them. Now I will say our hub has been shut down during the snow, ice, sleet event.

[a kennedy]

4. and damn, getting terribly nervous, of my zoom lunch group that has 10 women 7 have

received their 1st one. I’m getting very nervous.

[MyOwnPeace]

5. Got my first......

because of a 'friend who knew a friend who knew......' What a terrible way to run this!
I'll get my second next week - and have friends in the same age group (65-75) who have yet to get their first.

10. My husband even found an excuse to walk the Mall today because he

heard that sometimes, when the Covid distribution center in Malls start to go bad, they walk out and find pill to inoculate, at random. We're under 65, so it's the only way that we'll get one before April.

It was a long shot because my daughter will be driving down to N.C. mid March for another event, and the only way we would try to meet up with her was if we were both inoculated.

[marlakay]

23. My husband 71 has appt next Wednesday

I am 64 and doctor said she always gets a extra dose and will give it to me.

I will believe it if it happens, let you know next week.

[Wounded Bear]

6. No, but scheduled first shot this Sat, Feb 20...

with 2nd shot scheduled for Mar 20.

[Gore1FL]

7. If I wait 18 more hours I can pick a different option.

I received my first three weeks ago today. I get my second, tomorrow.

On Edit: I officially changed my vote to 2!

[mvd]

8. I missed my appointment once and have yet to get a rescheduling

Maybe I can go to a local pharmacy instead of to my doctor’s office.

[sheshe2]

9. I am eligible as of tomorrow.

Searched every source and there is not ONE appointment available.

[mrs_p]

12. Yes. I'm at a lab where we do COVID

Testing and I am deemed essential (we detect animal diseases that can make humans sick or can be transmitted to humans). I was lucky to get vaccinated through work.

But my husband with multiple autoimmune diseases and who is on heavy biologics that make him immune compromised can’t get an appointment anywhere.

[wryter2000]

13. Can we add an alternative

No, but I have an appointment to get the first shot.

[BittyJenkins]

14. Wish I could get it but

I am allergic to vaccines. My daughter is the head of epidemiology in our county and said I should not get it. Dang and then some.

[Hoyt]

16. No appointments available, so I'll wait.

[elleng]

17. NO, on the county's list;

waiting for county to be supplied, likely further delayed due to weather.

[MustLoveBeagles]

18. I'm not eligible yet

[marlakay]

19. Getting first shot next Wednesday nt

[snacker]

20. Getting vaccine dose #2 tomorrow

[Dave in VA]

21. We get our second

injection in 10 days.

[Hekate]

25. Next week on 2/22 we will get #1

Got the word Monday night from the County that they had received 6,000 new doses, available for sign-up Tuesday 7:00 am. Neither of us got much sleep. I set the alarm for the crack of dawn and went to work on the County portal promptly at 7:00. After uncounted failures, bingo, half a dozen brand new vaccination sites opened up in the town next door, and I jumped on it and grabbed an appointment for me and told my husband to immediately go there and sign himself up.

Thank gods for Joe Biden. I’ll even say a Catholic prayer for that man. I may cry from gratitude when the needle slides in.

[Marthe48]

26. I applied the end of Jan

and became eligible 2/8/21. The local hospital. Haven't heard from anyone so far.

[SammyWinstonJack]

27. Feb 24th @11:15. Scheduled two days ago. Have to drive 20 mi. to Sparta, Tn

Not sure which of the two vaccines I'll receive.

[canetoad]

28. Vaccination hasn't begun

Here in Oz but we are not in dire straits like other countries. I believe the gov has purchased the vaccine and the rollout will begin within a month or so.

I'm likely to be in the third or fourth group - behind health care workers, care home residents, over 70 etc.

[NRaleighLiberal]

29. 2nd Moderna on Feb 25

[RDANGELO]

31. My wife and I are both scheduled for it on Saturday.

We are both over 65.

[gademocrat7]

33. We got our first Moderna vaccination on 1/12/21.

We got our second Moderna vaccination last Friday, 2/12/21. Sore arms with first shot. Last Saturday we both ran fevers, had chills and were tired. I developed a swollen rash at the injection site. Only lasted the weekend. Rash subsided by Tuesday. Our health department started a vaccine center in a closed Sears store. It was easy and efficient. Mainly our age group 65 and over. Our appointments for the second shot were made when we got our first shot.

[Mickju]

34. I was supposed to get my second shot today

But it had to be postponed until next week because of the weather here in OK. I was able yo get it because I am 76.

[Kingofalldems]

35. Over 70 and no vaccine in sight.

Something rotten in Maryland. Did Trump short us on purpose?

[BlueLucy]

36. I had my 2nd Pfizer today

My arm is sore but so far no other side effects but it's only been 4 hours. Kelso WA Walgreens.

[Polly Hennessey]

37. I had my second Pfizer this morning.

It now late afternoon and my arm is slightly sore. Who knows what the night will bring!!!!! 😃😷

[BlueLucy]

41. My arm is real sore now.

I waited to take tylenol until now. I heard you're not suppose to but I'm thinking that is before you get the shot and not after.

[Akacia]

38. First shot tomorrow.

[dhill926]

39. March 3rd...

they can stick it in my eye for all I care...let's just do it...

[sakabatou]

40. As far as I know, it hasn't been opened to the general public yet

[triron]

42. I'm 3 months away from being 75 but unfortunately (for that purpose) I live in Albuquerque, NM.

NM is one of the few states (3) that has no plan to vaccinate 65-75 until after
over 16 year olds with high risk medical conditions (whatever that is).
And I am not yet eligible for over 75.

[NotASurfer]

43. Not yet. This weekend, so February

First vaccine

[R B Garr]

44. I'm registered at MyTurn.ca.gov to get notification

for my category. Edit: so I added my name to the No, don’t know when I’ll get it, even though I’m registered for notification in California.

My husband is getting his second Pfizer early March.

[eleny]

45. both shots
