Moderna booster which they are now giving. Was advised to get booster two weeks after flu shot. Meanwhile, my local hospital which is part of a healthcare system, has no updated info on boosters.

Today was the first day for the Moderna vaccine.

We belong to a hospital group too, and haven't heard anything about these boosters. I'm a little surprised, actually.

But anyway, we are about to be protected! It's a couple of weeks, I think.

I was a walk-in. I went with mix-and-match. Last March, it was hard to find any vaccine in Oregon, so I went with what they would give me, and had to drive 250 miles to get that.

So today I got Moderna on top of my Johnson.

I figured with the atmospheric river coming in, it might be fine to be in bed. I was really hurting from the second dose of Pfizer.

Costco was only giving Moderna today, said I could come back Monday. But I decided to live on the wild side and do a mix and match.

So glad that you are protected! I’m feeling relieved!

Hadn't felt any side effects yet, and it's been about 7 hours.

Flu shots have never bothered me.

I think I'll try that too. The Rite Aids, Walgreens and Giant Eagle pharmacies aren't so busy right now.

My husband beat me to the punch with his appointment and then there weren't any left for today.

But they had room and so I got in too.



It sure does feel good!

And so far, I haven't had any soreness. It's been 7 hours since I got the vaccine. I wonder if I'll feel anything.

Hope you feel really well tomorrow, my dear tavernier!

Arm started hurting about midnight and then I spiked a fever enough to crawl under two heavy blankets. Interrupted sleep and some stomach issues. But it started subsiding just a little while ago. Now only my arm is sore and itchy. Hope you fared better.

Maybe I’ll try for a few more winks…

So glad to hear that. I am beginning to feel a bit better, arm still swollen and sore, but I think I can handle that.

More that chills and stomach distress. And everything hurting.

it almost feels worse than the second shot. First time I have had the injection sight swell up. But I’m still grateful.

Hoping that you feel all better soon dear CaliforniaPeggy!
