Got my J&J on Saturday – one of apparently only 100 people in Massachusetts (??) to get the JJ that day. I’d love the Daisy one & done sticker!
Nicole
You know, I start to think the best way to get Republican hold outs to get the shot is for us liberals to start loudly and publicly announcing that we don’t want Republicans to get the shot because we’re looking forward to them getting sick from Covid and dying thus reducing the number of GOP voters. They will get the shot just to spite us.
The hard part would be keeping our mouths shut afterwards, rather than letting them know they fell for our stupid ploy.

@Nicole: I still think “we’re sending all of your unwanted vaccine doses to Mexico” would work better.
WaterGirl
@Nicole: I understand where you are coming from, but that would be pretty off-brand for Democrats. I think that might backfire.
@dmsilev:
That is a plan I can get behind!

Gimme a Steve! I’m got two doses of Pfizer! Just a few days more to full immunity!

We’ve both had both doses of what we still call the Fauci Ouchie.

My wife got her second Moderna yesterday. I’m due for Pfizer #2 in May. No significant symptoms for either of us from any shot, though her arm is fairly sore today. I didn’t even get that from my Pfizer #1, I could sleep on it comfortably by the second night.
I will take a Dolly Parton on behalf of my wife.

Got second Pfizer Sunday. Very drowsy day Monday, but no more side-effects than that.
Nancy smash please
joel hanes
Second Moderna yesterday, from Sutter Health at the Santa Clara Convention Center. No line at all at 11:30 AM, although the nurses said it had been crowded earlier.
No reaction that I can yet discern; in fact I feel great. Less arm soreness than from the first shot.
a thousand flouncing lurkers was fidelio
Second Pfizer at 9:20 this morning! Champ, I believe.
Barbara
@dmsilev: Right. I assume that Biden has gamed out the whole issue of sending vaccine that is allegedly “unneeded” in the U.S. to any other country. Very promptly he will be accused of sending “our” lifesaving vaccines to undeserving foreign mooches. The difference is that I doubt it would actually change anyone’s inclination to get vaccinated.

Sitting here for our fifteen minutes after my son just got Pfizer #2! Our whole household has had at least one; by mid-May we should all be double-dosed and ready to face the world.

Yep, got both of mine as of a week ago. A couple more weeks and I’ll be able to travel again.
I’ll have a Steve sticker, he’s just got a ton of personality. (And reminds me of my own rescue kitty).

Spouse and went thru Phase II of the Moderna-ization process last Friday afternoon.
Woke up midnight and felt like I’d been out all night drinking with the band. Woke up from a bender.
That lasted all day Saturday. By bed time, I was “spent” but no longer feeling like a car had run me over then backed up over me to see what it had hit. 18 mile bike ride on Sunday.
Still wearing mask outside.
Don’t need a sticker. ;)

My older son got his second pfizer, and the younger one (living his monastic existence in the dorms at Cal Poly SLO) his first pfizer last week. So that’s pretty cool.

@WaterGirl:
not a sticker kind of guy, thanks.

@TheOtherHank: Cool. My youngest graduated from SLO in December, with his final three quarters being a monastic existence in a fraternity house. Couldn’t be happier with the experience he had at SLO (and especially the price)!

@cliosfanboy:
Are you saying that you’re at the shot site waiting to go inside or that you haven’t been notified yet to schedule your second shot? If the latter, and Fairfax County passed you off to Inova for your first shot, you might not get a text. Inova has had some problems with their notification system.

Got my second shot almost a month ago now. Pfizer/CDC? is still sending me text reminders to self report on symptoms (I had almost none). It’s only coming weekly now, not daily, but I appreciate their diligence. I expect this is part of the process to speedup the FDA approval. I volunteered at a local vaccine center and the nursing student explained the FDA approval will have to come before anyone can mandate vaccination as a requirement to return to work or school. So I am ecstatic to be doing my part to speed that up. Once vaccinations can be mandated by local governments and employers and schools, the anti-vaxxer problem is less likely to be a concern for me. I was happy to let businesses know they wouldn’t get my money if they didn’t enforce masking. I am more than happy to let businesses know I won’t accept the risk of mingling with crazy MFQs in their stores, airplanes, hotels, or entertainment venues too. Also not interested in supporting businesses that have no regard for their employees health.
Been sitting on a decision for a while now whether I’m going to pay for a membership and participate in programming with a local rowing club. Their policy so far is to try to straddle the fence. I’m fine with missing another year and leaving that part of my life in the dust (lots of White, Rich, RWNJs, Trumpers, and Glibertarian FYIGMs in that club). Much safer and cheaper ways of getting exercise and accessing the water, IMO. FWIW, I’ve been doing the same with businesses that insist on having Faux News on their lobby TVs for a while now. I never let a customer satisfaction survey opportunity go by without making a note at how awful it is to have to sit in a waiting room with that unpleasantness blaring over the speakers! Now I can add “not interested in the views of Insurrectionists and Traitors” to my comments.

I got my first shot of Pfizer on April 1 and the second last Thursday, both at the Benton-Franklin County Fairgrounds in Kennewick, Washington. Both times I drove my wife’s 2014 Camaro into a tent, stuck out my arm and got a quick jab. Waited 15 minutes and was good to go.
I’ll take a Lily, please.

@dmsilev:
I once had a boss who would have lunchtime “hen parties” in her office, for which she invited her female direct reports only to come play cards and “share” all kinds of personal details, such as that.

One and done black kitty please! Got J&J at the mass vax site at M&T Bank Stadium in Baltimore about 5 weeks ago, guess the opportunity for blood clots has passed me by. I felt unusually tired the second day after the shot, but no other side effects.
Edmund Dantes
@watergirl I’ll take a Samwise as I just rewatched the lord of the rings this weekend.
What Have the Romans Ever Done for Us?
Got my second shot of Pfizer yesterday at high Noon! I did not magically turn into an expert gun slinger, which I’m not all that broken up about, or suddenly have Grace Kelly for a wife, which is a little more disappointing.
JCJ
I got my stickers way back, perhaps even in the first “I Got the Shot” thread. Can I get stickers for my daughter (J&J about five weeks ago – baby Champ) and wife (second Pfizer last week – Steve)?
I am jealous. Baby Champ wasn’t an option when I got my stickers, but I did get green balloons!
LongHairedWeirdo
Heh. Got my shot yesterday, and I woke up today with body aches, fatigue, and listlessness. So, you know, no noticeable side effects yet!
(See, I have Chronic Fatigue Syndrome – in anyone else, this would be considered an unpleasant vaccine reaction. Me? I call it (checks calendar) Tuesday!)
In point of fact, it’s actually somewhat weird not to know what is actually caused by what, I confess. But it also reinforces an idea I’ve held, that some of us who’ve learned to cope with certain issues are a bit better able to function through them. (Make no mistake, this is a very mixed blessing. I have to take so much sick time for fatigue, I don’t dare “waste” it on a bad vaccine day – I have envy for those who feel just poorly enough that it’s not *really* playing hooky, but not so bad as to ruin a good Netflix or gaming binge, and have no concerns about wasting precious paid leave.)
Baby Champ would be the best sticker – I’ve actually been having a good time, meaning I have more time for cat cuddling, and wishing I knew it would continue so I could add a new shelter kitten.

@JCJ: Here’s a Champ just for you!

DB11
Had my first AZ dose last Thursday at a no-appointment, walk-in event at a local arena. 2nd dose isn’t until Aug 12 (!) — here in Québec they’re trying to reach as many people as possible with at least one dose (high risk groups are getting both shots on a more normal schedule).
Makes sense given our supply constraints and the fact that 1 dose is between 60-90% effective. They’re aiming to have the population covered with the first dose by June 24 (St-Jean Baptiste).
WaterGirl
@Nutmeg again: Come back tomorrow for your sticker! (Link to this post is in the sidebar.)
WaterGirl
@DB11: Wow, that’s a long wait! What stickers would you like?

Got my 2nd Pfizer yesterday. Really sore arm last night and this morning, but no other side effects. A few Pfizer friends had really bad days after, so I’ll take it.
I would like my sticker to be the magnificent beast Tikka.

A couple of weeks overdue, but may I have a Katalin? FTFW!! Not one to go out of my way to get a shot, but no way I’m one of the ones holding back Uncle Joe’s numbers.
Rob
I think I’ve said some of this already: Pfizer the second on Friday. My arm was a little sore through Sunday evening, and my temperature was a degree above my normal (so I actually had a 98.6 reading). I napped a little on Saturday afternoon. On Sunday I felt pretty much normal (except for my arm) and with my wife was able to see my mother at her retirement community for the first time in 13 months.
I’m counting down until full immunity, when we will eat at a restaurant (outdoors!) and I will get a haircut.

How about a sticker saying “Two little jabs will do ya”!

@Rob: Congratulations! What stickers would you like?
Boomzilla
I got shot today. I let her do it. She was nice.
I hope she’ll do it again in three weeks.
Really, I told her I sometimes tip over when people put needles into me. I do. It is shameful, but true. I told her she should sing to me. She passed on that. But I barely felt the prick. Not that that is what what makes me fall down. It is something in my head.
Enough out of me.
If I could, I’d like a Lily and a Steve. I’d like a JC too, but he doesn’t seem to be an option.
John, one of these days I’m going to post what I think would be a great side for your spicy… Was it Thai? that you were doing in your wok? It’s simple, but I figure you’ll never see it unless I get into one of your threads early.

Really late to the thread – I got my AZ shot on Monday afternoon in Toronto. Tuesday morning was a bit groggy with sore shoulders and back – but not much worse than the morning after a great party. Feel free to give me a Badger sticker please.
For Canucks looking for appointment bookings – try https://vaccinehunters.ca. They update on Twitter, Discord and Facebook for sites across the country very frequently.

Not until Thursday for my 2nd shot. Still trying to decide, though, if I have to be stickered, would I prefer Steve in his munificent magnificence, or Tikka with his supercilious and baleful glare…

I just had my second dose of Moderna this morning! Feeling fine physically (so far). I’m all for giving credit to the unsung heroes in this vaccine program, so I would like to have a Katalin Kariko sticker, please.

Levi’s Stadium was not nearly as busy this time as last. Lots of volunteers sitting around waiting for someone to show up.

Yay!! I got the shot number 2–dos–deux–zwei . I got Pfizer. So far, so sleepy, again. I made a point of thanking, and thanking again all the impossibly young CT National Guard folks who were out directing traffic, running apps, giving shots, and everything else that needed doing.
I’d be grateful for a copy of that Nancy picture as my sticker–it’s always been one of my faves. Hard to choose, what with those adorable kitty cats and all. Thanks!
Chris T.
@WaterGirl:
Well, if you insist… :-)
As for when: I got called in to the pharmacy yesterday as they were going to have some leftover shots, so I got my second jab a day early. Although now it’s Thursday anyway.
(Could do baleful on one of these and magnificent on the other, perhaps…)
Chris T.
Wow. Possible side effect of second Pfizer shot: I had a really weird dream. It involved a performing-cat “circus”, of sorts, made up entirely of cats adopted from a shelter. I named one of the cats Groucho Marx based on the way he looked and the fact that he was kind of the ringmaster. He moved so fast sometimes that I thought he should be called Zippo though.
WaterGirl
@Chris T.: Interesting dream!
