Got My New Moderna Booster Today - a Tip

[MineralMan]

I had to do some grocery shopping early today, so I started at the supermarket pharmacy, which I use for my prescriptions, too. No customers there, so I stepped up and asked if they had the new Moderna Covid booster available.

"As of this morning, yes."
"I'll have one, please."

The nice pharmacy lady said, just before stabbing me in the left arm, "You're the first person in this store to get the new booster."

Later, I went by the pharmacy again, after getting my groceries. There were about 10 people in line for boosters, all over 70 years old, I think, just like me.

So, go early if you want to walk in for your shot. You'll save some time.

1. Thanks I have also gotten my shots at the Giant supermarket

Pharmacist there is very nice and she always remembers me

2. Did you get the one that grows extra arms or the one for antennae?

Not yet available here. Expected, soon.

3. I will be heading to Walgreens shortly to get mine.

Probably Pfizer. Made an appointment online last week, soon as they became available. I expect to feel like crap for a couple of days but it’s a small price to pay.

4. I'm waiting to be called...

By my provider who is waiting for the vaccine to get here, when they have it they'll call me for an appt. Should be by next week.

5. My pharmacy does not yet have the Omicron booster

6. All my shots have been Pfizer.

And each one has made me horribly sick.

Maybe I’ll give the Moderna a try. Thanks for the info.

7. I will be scheduling mine for a Friday evening so I can "recover" before

going back to work the next Monday. I have had a robust immune reaction to each vaccination, which does not worry me one bit, but I need time to sleep it off and let the temporary fever, chills, and nausea subside.

8. I've been very lucky. Just a little fatigue from all of my shots.

[Shanti Shanti Shanti]

9. Made an appt for new Moderna online at Publix last night, got the shot today at 1100, only one there

Never had any bad reactions, all Moderna, #5

10. Me too, 5th Moderna; and flu also.

Both arms hurt, but I feel fine.

11. If I want the Pfizer #4 I have to drive over 80 miles 1 way.

So I shall wait and battle the new variants some day.
