HoarfrostHubb Posted March 5, 2021 Share Posted March 5, 2021 My wife just got one scheduled for next Saturday. Phew. She has some health concerns (she will still kick my ass at the gym). So that’s a relief. My MIL has received both doses. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m hearing from friends VA is mostly Moderna. Moderna is easier to store and a US company which the VA usually likes. Also, VA was able to vaccinate their entire work force in December and January. My first shot (at Gillette) had a lot of arm soreness but nothing systemic but supposedly the second is more sicky for 24 hours. My friend and his wife got the second and his wife was fine but he had a rough 24 hours. Even after one the protection is supposedly pretty good. We’ll be getting our second 3/16 and 3/18. I hope everyone is able to get one of them soon. I had to use my eligibility as a non covid provider as did my wife. I’m hearing Maine started with 70 and up. MA first group was 75 which I initially just missed until we played the card. (I’m 74) 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now the threshold has dropped to 60. I would've had to wait a few more days if I'd been in Mass. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bch2014 Posted March 5, 2021 Share Posted March 5, 2021 I got my first dose on Wednesday after leaving my name and phone number at a nearby Walgreens two weeks ago... Told them to call me if they had any leftover at the end of the day. After two weeks of not hearing anything, I had kind of figured that they either never had extra, or when they did, they were able to find people in-store to take it. At 6:30ish Wednesday night, my phone buzzed and I walked over and was jabbed. No side effects besides a sore arm for 24 hours... I don't really have too much guilt about getting it "before my time" as it seemed as if the vaccine was just going to go bad if I hadn't taken it.. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baroclinic Zone Posted March 5, 2021 Author Share Posted March 5, 2021 My arm was sore for a day, a day after. I felt a bit out of sorts for a few days and my appetite was less due to the smell of food being a bit off putting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My advice is don’t pass it up. But I’ve lived in the healthcare world so it’s automatic for us. One thing that seems clear is that those who get vaccinated are largely protected against severe covid. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ORH_wxman Posted March 6, 2021 Share Posted March 6, 2021 This decaying snow pack is useless now. At least the torch areas are opening up. Took the boys out to the local elementary school playground. Snow was actually pretty blinding in the March sun The backyard is getting there. Should be gone in the next few days 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
