Got my first Pfizer vaccine today! Set appointment for second at the same time!

I'm in Tarrant Co TX--Ft Worth--and they have things well in hand. Have a sign up site and will email and phone when time slots are available. It was done at John Peter Smith hospital and it was a well oiled machine.

Now in about 10 days I'll be 70% protected. Put the "I got my covid vaccine" sticker on my n95 mask!

1. Awesome!

Congrats!

2. YAY!

Remember to stay masked and socially distanced until further notice, though.

3. 'Course!

Even if I won't get infected I can still inhale the virus and exhale it to innocent people!

[Laffy Kat]

4. You can get infected you just won't get sick.

At least that's what I am understanding.

7. "Innocent?" Interesting choice of words there.

Brings back some old memories.

5. Got my second Pfizer shot in Grayson County

Last Monday. Not relaxing my mask discipline any time soon, though.

6. So glad to hear your great news, my dear flamin lib!

I wish LA County were as organized as Tarrant Co!

9. Our county is a joke. Very disappointed in the vaccine rollout here.

8. Yay! I'll join your club in ... June? I'm too young, too healthy. n/t

10. My husband can get his because he is over 75, but he says no.

We are pretty safe here and he wants to see what happens to people who get the vaccine first.

11. The nurse that gave me the shot said that there were 40+ people in her

'unit' that got the shot at the same time. She reported that she felt tired the next day but couldn't tell if it was vaccine or working another 10 hour shift. A few reported sore arms at the injection site and one said it was so sore she woke when she rolled over in the night. Only one called in sick the following day. Everybody reported no further side effects after the first 24 hours.

In the 15 minute observation room none of the dozen or so reported any discomfort.

It's been 8 hours since I got mine and I can tell I got a shot in my left arm but can't find the injection site.

It it's available I'd get the vaccine without further delay.
