Alright, I’ll start it off…got the Pfizer booster 2 weeks ago, the duck with the ❤️❤️❤️ seems appropriate.

My eleven year old daughter got the shot on Monday. I am a relieved parent.
Edited to add: I got my booster last Friday. Feels like putting on a suit of armor.
206inKY
My kiddo got his shot on Monday and I got my booster! Never felt so relieved.
Spanky
Four hours into my booster, and I don’t even feel pain in the arm.
Prehensile tail’s coming along nicely, though.
Thursday
About to take my daughter to get it right now. A huge weight off my shoulders.

@Spanky:
Is it magnetic?

I get my booster on Tuesday night. I’m in CA where anyone who wants it now can get it–no age/condition restrictions for adults. Still wearing masks in stores nonetheless.
WaterGirl
@prufrock: I have no stickers with suits of armor. Any stickers you would like?
WaterGirl
@Spanky: Need sticker of prehensile tail…
WaterGirl
@Thursday: Congratulations! Come back for stickers.
dmsilev
Niece and nephew, earlier this week. Definitely makes everyone in the family a lot more relieved. Thanksgiving will be before their second dose, but even partial vaccination will make a big difference in the comfort factor.

@WaterGirl:
The penguin. Thank you!
StevEagle
My 6-year old got his first shot 2 days ago and it’s an amazing feeling! It’s really just a huge weight lifted, to be honest, not having to worry quite so much after being really worried about him at school, etc., for the past year and a half!
WaterGirl
@StevEagle: So happy for all of you with kids!
Stickers?

Grandkids got their first shot yesterday.
I got the second shot of my second course yesterday. Heh in a 9 week period I will have had 2 * Pfizer, 2 * Shingrix, 1 * Flu, 2 * wasp venom, 2 * mixed vespid venom – I wish you could collect credit card points for injectable medical products

Got the Pfizer booster this week. Pfizer #2 got me down for a day. #3, nothing. Very minor soreness. Even slept on that side a little. Was much more sore from the flu shot, which I also got this fall.
David Fud
First round of vaccinations for my 3 boys tomorrow. It will be a huge relief.
Other Other Other John
My 8yo was SO INCREDIBLY BRAVE and got shot 1 on Saturday. Slight weight beginning to uh lift, maybe…?
Josie
My six year old granddaughter got her Pfizer #1 yesterday and was anxious to show off her band aid to schoolmates this morning. Strong girl sticker please.
WaterGirl
@Josie: If that’s not the right sticker, let me know which one you meant.
WaterGirl
@David Fud: What a relief.
Come back for stickers!
Josie
@WaterGirl: That one’s fine. Thanks.
WaterGirl
@Kalakal: Sounds like you should get all the stickers!
What stickers would you like?
WaterGirl
@Ceci n est pas mon nym: Stickers?
WaterGirl
@dmsilev: Yay! stickers?
Suzanne
Spawn the Younger got her first shot on Monday and Mr. Suzanne, SuzMom, SuzMIL, and yours truly got boosters last week. SuzMIL is coming to visit for Thanksgiving.
Fingers crossed for quick approval for the LITTLES!!!
Percysowner
I got my booster and my flu shot last Friday. One more week until they fully kick in! I’ll take the Pappilon Hurray!
Spanky
@West of the Rockies: Very!

youngest (8) got first dose yesterday. wife got her booster this morning, i got mine a week ago. 12 y.o. is almost 6 months past 2nd dose, but i haven’t heard anything about kiddo boosters yet.
Sure Lurkalot
I got my Moderna booster 3 weeks ago. Felt good for about 24 hours followed by a few hours of headache, chills and fatigue. Then it was bedtime and the next day, I felt fine again. Can’t choose between Penelope and Henry.
Latest word on my nephew’s 3 kiddos…his middle daughter told my niece that they were getting their shots in a couple of weeks. She’s the only one of the kids that appears to be really advocating for it. I’m not sure about the reason for the delay. Once they moved to Texas, they eschewed all the protocols they had in California. So unfortunately peer pressure and their mega church may yet still prevail.
Auntie Anne
I got my booster a week ago. I would like a Steve sticker, please.
FelonyGovt
I got the Moderna booster 2 weeks ago. I would like “Nicely done, Human”.
rikyrah
Reading all this good news has me ???with joyi love these threads
eddie blake
mentioned on the overnight thread. i got my pfizer booster on wednesday. it kicked my ass. had no adverse reactions from the first two shots, but yeah. aches. pains. lack of temperature regulation. fuzzy brain. headache, no sleep.
felt MUCH better about a full day after the jab.
you got a sticker of booster gold, watergirl?
Nicole
The 11-year-old got the first dose a week ago today, and yesterday said, “I’m on my way to herd immunity!” Pedantic parent that I am, I thought, “That’s not exactly what that is,” but I kept my mouth shut, as he is on his way to contributing to herd immunity (also, probably best not to be a jerk, in case he will be picking my nursing home).
As he adores animals, I think he would like “Nicely done, Human.” Thank you!
pajaro
Mrs. Pajaro and I were boostered as soon as it was possible, several weeks ago (we’re geezers). Our six-year-old grandkid was vaccinated earlier this week. Hooray. On the other hand, my four-year-old grandkid tested positive this week. He’s not terribly sick, but we are waiting nervously, as you might imagine.
WaterGirl
@FelonyGovt: Mr. Bear is honored that you chose him.
randy khan
As mentioned in a long-lost thread, I had my booster on Wednesday. No particular side effects, but as before the bandaid seems to have extra strong adhesive, I guess to keep the mRNA from leaking out. (Kidding!!!)
I request the sticker with the lovely grey kitty.
WaterGirl
@eddie blake: No booster gold stickers, might another sticker do?
WaterGirl
@Nicole: In case he will be picking my nursing home…
hahahahaha
WaterGirl
@pajaro: Fingers crossed for the 4-year old.
Stickers for anyone?
WaterGirl
@randy khan:
I am failing this test… which one is the lovely gray kitty?Never mind.
zhena gogolia
@rikyrah: Me too.
zhena gogolia
@WaterGirl: Sounds as if he means Samwise.
ColoradoGuy
Me and Ms. Colorado got the booster on Sept. 24th, the first day it became available. Moderna #1 in January, Moderna #2 in February, and the Pfizer booster in September. Also Shingrex #2 in August, and the high-dose flu shot in October. Whew!
The cute white doggy that says “WOOF!”

I got a moderna booster a week ago after Pfizer course, I thought the mixing sounded good. No special reaction. too many nice stickers, don’t feel like choosing.
I have also been collecting shots since I got my original Pfizer 2 and felt like I could see a doctor again. Shingles, Flu, Pnemonia, Hep A & B in the last 8 months. My insurance covers all shots, no cost. I wonder how many other people are motivated to get all the ones they put off or weren’t sure, beyond Covid.
WaterGirl
@zhena gogolia: Of course he does!
In that photo, Samwise looks a bit brownish, so I was slow on the uptake. Good call on your part, thanks for the assist.
Kalakal
@WaterGirl: The grand kiddies will love Duck. We’re so happy for them.
WaterGirl
@Kalakal: I think you meant Penelope, but just in case I added the little ones, too.

Grandson age 6 got the shot today. Don’t know about the stickers, he’s more of a car (or truck) person.
Sigh of relief, been holding that breath for more than a year now* … (though getting the rest of the country vaccinated will matter just as much to him and to each of us).
From my perspective, the penguin is cute.
Litlebritdifrnt
Here in Blighty Children in Need is coming up (big TV show next Friday). Anyhoo my favourite weatherman in the World Owain (who I have linked to before drumming to the BBC News theme). He is doing a 24 hour drumathon (began this morning) to raise money. Well so far he has raised £500,000.00 and at the end of the news tonight they did “The Big Bang” him and 50 other drummers doing the BBC News theme. (Including Royal Marines!). Hopefully I can show you the vid but you all know how pathetic I am at these things. Never mind can’t find a vid that I can upload.

My son got his first vaccine yesterday! He’s excited and has been waiting the longest (and possibly wanting it the most). Super-hero sticker would be swell.
Litlebritdifrnt
@Litlebritdifrnt: Found it! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZJTj1NTTwz4
MisterForkbeard
Older kid is going in this afternoon. To say I’m excited would be a huge understatement.
WindyCityCat
Got boosted a month ago, 5 year old daughter got her first shot last Saturday. Been waiting for this for a long time, and now just need the under 5’s to get approved to cover my 3-year old son.
I’ll take the Bye Covid sticker!
eddie blake
@WaterGirl: in that case i would love the chillin’ penguin, plz.
zhena gogolia
@Litlebritdifrnt: Nice to see you!
Kalakal
@WaterGirl: I did, but they’ll love the littlies too :)
Thanks
la caterina
Got my Pfizer booster yesterday at a mobile site. Only side effects are a sore arm and a mild headache. Baby champ sticker, please!
Ken
Despite qualms at the violation of CDC guidelines, I have scheduled my booster shot.
WaterGirl
@Ken: For what it’s worth, I think you are doing the absolutely right thing.
WaterGirl
@MisterForkbeard: Sticker now or sticker later?
Ken
@Ken: I will call you as a character witness at my trial. Assuming the CDC enforcers even bother with trials.
Leumas
The first day available here (Tulsa OK) was last Monday. Oldest grandchild is eligible,
and he got first dose last Monday afternoon. Younger grandchildren are too young
to get vaccinated for Covid yet.
AliceBlue
Mr. AliceBlue and I got our boosters last week. Doses done sticker pleez!
divF
Got my booster last Saturday – Moderna, which was also the original vax for me. I was down and out for four days – sleeping, malaise, plus blood pressure up 30+ points. All good now, though.
Give me Goose with three hearts, please.
Jimmm
My boys (5 and 9) just got their first shot! The youngest thought it was a profound betrayal that we did the flu shot at the same time (why did she do it TWICE!?!), but they are otherwise happy and symptom-free.
eddie blake
@WaterGirl: ty!
Litlebritdifrnt
@zhena gogolia: Thank you! As we say in the UK I have been “poorly”. Our wonderful NHS has been poking and prodding me for two months trying to figure out the problem and I just have two more appointments to perhaps come up with it. Then again those two appointments could well lead to lots more, who knows. Nice to be back.
KSinMA
I got my Moderna booster on Wednesday. No side effects yet. Original shot was J&J–very glad I had a choice this time!
Love the duck with the scarf!
Kalakal
@Ken: Good decision
frosty
30 hours after the Moderna booster, nothing but a sore arm. Who advised getting it in the dominant arm because you’ll move it more and the soreness will go away faster?
Never doing that again!
reppa
greetings.
I have no children (so, obviously no grandchildren either) — safe on that end of things.
all 4 nephews are good, & as are 2 of my nieces (and those who have significant others are good, too).
unfortunately, one niece is a Qmoron-tRump cultist — and she not only refuses for herself, but also refuses for her small kids (2 of whom are immuno-compromised), and for her mother (aka my sister), who also has significant health problems. this dimwit should know better…
BellyCat
5.5 year old son vaxxed last Sat. GIANT sigh of relief. He and his kindergarten friends are PSYCHED and INTO IT!
MisterForkbeard
7 Year Old got the vaxx this afternoon. Super jazzed – picked up a dessert from the bakery next door and then let her choose dinner for the family (hot dogs!).
All is right in the world.
Gammyjill
I have four grandchildren, but unfortunately, only three can be vaxxed. My younger son’s daughters – ages 5 and 8 – who live in NH, are getting their first shots tomorrow. My older son’s son – age 6 – is getting his first shot on Monday in Ann Arbor. His 3 year old sister will have to wait…
We’re all relieved they will be vaxxed. All the adults in our vast, extended family have been vaxxed and most have been boostered.
Old Newby
My daughter got her 1st shot tonight. She was soooooo brave! Dog sticker please; the girl is a dog fanatic.
WaterGirl
@Old Newby: She gets all the dogs! :-)

Got my booster this afternoon. One Badger sticker, please.
