Just got the 1st Pfizer.  Penis size hasn't changed yet, but will keep yall posted.

Thanks to the wife who volunteered at one of the centers up in Temple.  Volunteers get to add family members to the list if there's excess.  I like that they're doing everything they can to reduce as much waste as possible.

Where did she volunteer? My wife has been looking for a volunteer opportunity at a vaccination center.

[Willfully Horn 7913]

Hays County’s Rona website had a link to a vaccination pre-registration list. They ask for 1a and 1b sign-ups. I’d guess it’s open to all meeting the criterion.

So got moderna 1st on Thursday evening.
Was fine thru yesterday (Fri) at noon.
Since, my arm has seemed to swell a bit and this splitting headache is fuckin crazy. Been pretty tired but not too bad. Not sure if anyone has had these symptoms.
Hope it subsides soon.

47, high BMI, asthma, high BP 

got my first Pfizer dose today at Baylor College of Medicine, through my primary physician.  Outside of my medical history no 1B verification was performed.  Had a lot of anxiety up to getting stuck as I have a lot of allergies and carry an epipen.  No side effects so far except for sore arm  

This past year has been the most difficult of my life, separated, divorced, work stress ramped up like never before on top of a pandemic.   Feel a lot less anxiety now that I’ve got 1 dose in me and scheduled for a second on 2/27.

Try St. Hope at offeringhope.org. Use the chat box to request an appointment, they called us 36 hours later. It seems like they still have availability.

Follow memorial hermann on Facebook. They have 65+ (age) spots that open up every couple of days. My mom got in and got her Pfizer first dose today. Last week it was Monday, Thursday, and today that spots opened up. You should use your email in the form. They send an immediate follow up email with an appointment link. They book the second spot at the same time.

I also got my first dose at Kelly Reeves last Monday and haven't heard.  Here's an interesting article from Friday that indicates the county is taking over management of the wait list.  I wonder if that's due in part to complaints about folks who weren't in 1(a) or 1(b) being able to book appointments.  But the article says (in bold) that we'll eventually get a communication about when to go for the second dose.

Quote

Williamson County's hub, Family Hospital Systems, will receive 8,000 coronavirus vaccine doses next week, officials said. The vaccines will be given to eligible people who are already on a Family Hospital wait list.

The wait list is not taking new registrations and has been taken down, said Connie Odom, a county spokeswoman on Friday. The county will be taking over the list soon, she said, and people who are on it will not have to re-register. She said the county will release more information about the county managing the wait list on Monday.

Family Hospital Systems will be giving the vaccines to people already notified about their appointments at the Kelly Reeves Athletic Complex, 10211 W. Parmer Lane, on Monday and Tuesday, and at the Georgetown High School football stadium parking lot at 2275 N. Austin Ave. on Wednesday, said Connie Odom, a county spokeswoman.

Both of the sites are drive-thru locations where people will be given the vaccines while sitting in their vehicles.

The Family Hospital wait list is full through the end of March, according to the company's website.

"If you are currently on our wait list, we ask that you continue to be patient as we schedule more appointments once more vaccines arrive," the Family Hospital website says. 

"For those who are awaiting communication regarding second doses, you will receive an email with a time frame to return to the active Family Hospital Systems hub site of your choice. Second doses can safely be administered 28-42 days following your first dose. YOU DO NOT NEED TO BOOK AN APPOINTMENT FOR YOUR SECOND DOSE."

Those people currently eligible in Texas for a vaccine include front-line health care workers, nursing home residents, people ages 65 and older and people with an underlying health condition.

3 of the 5 elders through Pfizer second dose.  One more Saturday.  Dad's Moderna 2 two and a half weeks out. 

Anything at all on vaccinating kids under 16?  Mine are 1 year below the cutoff.  Will they be in the bottom tier regardless of who they live with?

The side effects from my 1st Pfizer shot were really scary.  Day 1 there were no issues, but midday on Sunday, I started getting serious chills and then fever, body aches and a headache.  On top of that, my heart rate was racing.  I kept using my heart rate monitor and would get more anxiety just watching it skyrocket.   I never had an appetite and only ate for the first time today about an hour ago.  This morning I finally feel somewhat back to normal.

This is making me hesitate on the 2nd shot, because I hear that the side effects are worse on that one.

There's a growing body of evidence that strong reaction to the first shot means you already had Covid and didn't know it.

 

 

Vaccine recipients with pre-existing immunity experience systemic side effects with a significantly higher frequency than antibody naïve vaccines (e.g., fatigue, headache, chills, fever, muscle or join pains, in order of decreasing frequency, P < 0.001 for all listed symptoms, Fisher’s exact test, two-sided). Most of the participants for whom antibody results are presented above also completed the vaccine side-effect survey.

I had signed up both my wife and me on the WILCO waitlist, and she says she just got a notification that she could get a slot.  We've already had our first shot elsewhere, so she deleted herself from the list to open up a slot.  Interestingly, I signed up at the same time, but have NOT gotten a notification (when I do, I'll do the same, delete and free up a spot).

Yeah, we have friends who are definitely eligible, but they're also mostly resentful of how hard you have to work to nab a spot.  I've pointed then in every direction, but they seem reluctant to put in the work.  I am not a fan of the way things are....but that doesn't make things any different than they are.

I never had obvious symptoms loss of taste or smell.  I had one episode of high fever and body aches around Thanksgiving last year, but it was only one day.  I also had a crazy chest cold back in January of 2020.  Never got tested, but never thought I needed to.

If you had really high titers of antibodies to Spike already, that would be consistent with you already having COVID (prob around Thanksgiving) and you wouldn’t need the 2nd dose

Bell County dropped tons of appointment slots during the night. It was easy to grab them at 2:00 am. They are all gone now, but Tuesday seems to be their day. I would recommend staying up late next Monday night and grabbing a spot.

I've also read (maybe somewhere on this thread -- too lazy to look) that someone just showed up for their second dose at Kelly Reeves and had no problem.  I'm not sure if this was there when you guys went for your first shot, but when I was there last Monday there was a sign up at the automobile queue that said something to the effect "Let Me Know If You're Here for 2nd Dose," and I saw a couple people peel off in that direction. 

If you just show up, remember to bring your vaccination card.

Managed to get my first Pfizer shot on Monday afternoon after snagging a slot randomly on Saturday. Funny enough, I got a call on Sunday asking if I wanted to get a shot on Tuesday in Washington County. I didn't even sign up for that list until Thursday of last week, so that might be a good one to target for those in need and within driving distance.
