I got my COVID shot today.

While shopping at Target, I asked at the CVS there what kind of COVID vaccine they had and they said "Pfizer; you want one?" and I said "not right now" and they said "oh, come on" so I said okay. After it was over, they gave me a $10 off a $20 purchase coupon so it was a win-win. I felt a little light-headed after the shot, but have had no other side effects yet.

I wanted to get my COVID shot through my usual heath care system where I got my flu shot last month but they didn't have it in yet. I checked it out when I got home and apparently they have it now (of course!) because they have a lot of appointments for it available. It's just as well. They wouldn't have given me a coupon.

One in each arm. In the past I’d get a headache and feel crappy the next day from the Covid shot, but this time nothing.

and said they would have to send a prescription to my pharmacy, which they did. I plan to get the shot tomorrow when I pick up a new RX.
