Someone at work is getting her first shot next week and is going to travel to visit family that weekend since she'll be vaccinated. 

My ex-wife went to a neighbor's house three days after her first dose because she was "vaccinated".

You second dose peeps waking up feeling like shit, here's something to soothe your headache.

 

[Homercles 10,205]

I’m about 20hrs post number 2 and my arm hurts pretty good, but otherwise felt well enough to hop on the peloton for an hour.  Now feel like I could take a nap despite sleeping well last night...who knows.  Since the most common side effect of getting vaccinated is talking about getting vaccinated, I’ll report back later.  
 

In the meantime here’s some breaking news

I'm dumb and need advice

So I got the FHS on 2/9 and my second dose 28 days for moderna is 3/9 (tuesday)

I just got a email to register and book second shot, but when I look to book it only has first shot available on Saturday/Sunday

Should I 

1) book the appointment for Saturday/Sunday - they probably didn't differentiate first and second on booking page and they mean for me to book this slot, it's basically 28 days

2) wait till next week and hope a book second dose appointment slot opens up on website

(note: they sent a separate email before register email saying 1st shots will be scheduled for Monday/Tuesday and 2nd shots for Thursday/Friday, and you will receive a register email the week of your 28 days)

I'm so confused.

I would wait until next week.  You can get the second dose anywhere between 28 and 42 days after the first dose.

FHS's communications and scheduling interface are confusing as hell. They are doing a 24h vax-a-thon this weekend.  I am betting that they didn't bounce their wilco waitlist invites off of their roster of people previously vaccinated. I got an invite email on Thursday evening, literally about the time I got home from KR.  But I never got the email with the green link. Next week you should get an email monday or tuesday with an invite to schedule your second dose later in the week Thurs/Friday.   At least that is how it is suppose to work.

Any thoughts on why I got an invite from FHS when I am not 1A, 1B, old, or a teacher?  I registered with them and gave honest responses across the board.  given that i could most accurately be compared to a 40 year old zarathrustra ubermensch, why would i have gotten an invite to get poked tomorrow at KR?

what's the protocol for HEB? The confirmation email just say hey show up at this date and time. Do I traipse in the store like normal and go the pharmacy? Are the slots truly one person per time slot? It says to avoid overcrowding and extended wait time, don't arrive more than 30 minutes ahead of appointment time.

Yeah, that's the first email I got. I also got a second green link register email, which I did. 

I guess I will just wait and hope for another email next week for the 2nd does appointments opening up. 

I'm guessing this weekend marathon is for 1st shots only.

@Heme Doc, what are your thoughts about getting a quantitative S antibody test to confirm sufficiency of immune response?  

It’s a good idea in principle.  And labs now carry it.  But the question I don’t know the answer to is:  What level of antibody is associated with protection from infection?  
 

So you could get the test and find that you’ve got antibodies which would make you feel really safe, especially if at high levels.  I haven’t taken the test personally but definitely thought about it.  Would be interested to know my titers now 6 months after my 2nd Pfizer shot

Got Pfizer #1 at the HEB at Rundberg and Lamar yesterday. My appointment was for 10:50. Got there at 10:30. It took me about 30 minutes to get through the check-in line. Make sure you check-in even if you’ve already printed and filled out your consent form. Multiple people booked in each time slot. Was worried I was going to miss my appointment, but then realized nobody else was getting their shots either. Waited near pharmacy with everyone else who had already checked in. At around 11:45, I overheard a tech tell someone that the pharmacist was drawing up the shots. A few minutes later they started calling out names and administering the shots a few minutes apart. I got my shot around 12:00.

FHS/Wilco's processing of the waitlist is borked is my guess.

Got my first Pfizer shot today. Weird that I didn’t feel it all compared to the annual flu shot or the shingles vaccine. Zero soreness and no apparent side effects after three hours. CVS is a machine.

The counties running these mega wait list need to start figuring out a way to proactively take people "off" the list that already got shots elsewhere so they can better manage it.  Tarrant County pinged me via text and I responded take me off the list.  Then I got the same dam email 2 days later.    Lord knows how much time is wasted offering appointments to people that are already set.  I assume the "actual" Dallas County list is significantly less than 50% of those that signed up considering I'm sure everyone in the metroplex signed up in Dallas.

really not exaggerating, would guess that at least 40% of the people near me in line at APH (including the same 30 people we passed each time we snaked through the line), were under the age of 50, and very few of them looked like they were highly susceptible.    Now I understand a large portion of them could have absolutely had an underlying non-visible medial issue.  but there were also a lot of healthy looking mid 30s around me as well..

Isn't the consensus that if you haven't already had COVID, the second one is the one that fucks with you? 

My first shot of Pfizer was pretty uneventful.

[Homercles 10,205]

Yeah consensus is if you’ve been ‘exposed’ the the first shot hits you harder as your immune response is instant.  Understand tetanus and a few others typically hit harder after second dose...and besides a sore arm I had no side effects from the first dose but second has me dragging ass 24 hours after.  
 

Anyone else notice increased heart rate?  Was trying to nap but my HR was like 85, whereas normally it’d be 60-65 laying down (resting rate low 60’s).  Waking around it hits 100 like when I’m hungover, which is impossible as I haven’t had a drink in over a week.  Weird stuff.

Got fully vaccinated a few weeks ago. Ready for vaccine passports to be implemented. Spare me the bullshit of "discrimination" against those who haven't gotten it yet. Let's allow concerts, performing arts, etc. and make it contingent on vaccinations. I am ready to travel internationally and want a fully functioning vaccine passport system so that I don't have to comply with quarantining and other draconian measures. I am all for incentivizing vaccination and shaming anti-vaxxers by creating goodies for those that are not stupid enough to be fooled by anti-vaxx lies.

I didn't lie, I just showed up and got on a waiting list. This was about 4 weeks ago. Two hours later, they came to my car and the three or four other cars waiting in line and were like, come on in!, no questions asked. On the way out, they scheduled me for the second dose, which was about 1 week ago.

Anyone else do this? What type of location will have a waiting list? HEB? CVS? Delco center?
