Got the first Moderna shot today at the Austin VA Clinic. Feeling bullet proof!

[marble falls]

Life is good.

[jpak]

1. Yay!

[marble falls]

5. Hate to admit it, but I was starting to faunch!

[Karadeniz]

2. I got my first one yesterday! Yay for both of us!

[marble falls]

6. Absolutely: double yays all around!

[qazplm135]

3. Still...

I'd maybe stay away from bullets.

[marble falls]

7. In Texas, may be difficult!

[ret5hd]

4. Got my first also today.

I does feel good!

[marble falls]

8. Ain't it grand?

[Baked Potato]

9. I'm jealous.

[Owl]

14. Me too.

[marble falls]

15. Where you at?

[Baked Potato]

30. Hi, Southeast. A year shy of 65.

If I smoked, I could get bumped up at the VA. Probably get the next round.

[marble falls]

31. Well if they're anything like what I've experienced here in Texas, they're doing the best ...

... can! The VA got to me before they got to the women, MiL got hers today. Her appointment was made over a week ago, VA called me Wednesday evening.

Hang in, brother, things are getting better!

[Baked Potato]

32. Thanks! You too, much appreciated!

10. The 2nd dose is a doozy

Everyone I know (myself included) had a very strong reaction to the second Moderna dose. But it's definitely worth it.

[marble falls]

16. Better a little fever than a respirator, or infecting someone else.

[nolabear]

23. Oh yeah. Second yesterday. DAMN.

Muscle aches, 100.1 fever, nasty headache...and an absolute sense of gratitude and luck. I might make it yet, and hold the grandbaby I’ve never touched.

I feel oddly guilty but that’s 1960s-70s female training.

[onecaliberal]

27. How exciting that will soon be in your future.

[Cicada]

35. I had no reaction to dose 2 but my wife said her reaction was horrible

She got sick about 8 hours in and stayed really sick for about 36 hours. I couldn’t get her to eat anything. She said “I can’t tell you how bad I felt.” But now 8 hours after she got over it she feels fine.

I feel kind of guilty that I didn’t feel bad at all.

[FarPoint]

11. Excellent!

I got mine in December and January ...but I'm a front line Nurse working with the covid-19 clients...I still practice full PPE's.

[Kaleva]

12. I'm getting my first shot at the VA Clinic tomorrow.

[Autumn]

13. As soon as you get your second Moderna you will feel 10 foot tall to go along with that bullet proof

Yes, life is good.

[marble falls]

18. I think we're back on track, and its a great feeling.

[ProudMNDemocrat]

17. I get my first on Sunday.

Yeah.

[Corgigal]

19. Wait till that 2nd one.

Woohoo, drove home breaking the sound barrier, plus tunes.

[pwb]

20. V.A. clinics around here do not give out the vaccine.

We have to go to the Medical Center.

[marble falls]

22. The clinic is 40 miles away, the Temple Med Cntr is 80.

[pwb]

24. The clinics in this area do not have the vaccine.

All clinics are closer. Only the V.A medical center has the vaccine so we have no choice but not complaining. Worth the trip. Second on 15th for me.

[marble falls]

26. That's pretty scary. But I'd gladly drive to Temple if they'd ask me. Stay safe, brother!

[pwb]

29. It is the refrigeration requirement I think.

Moderna needs low temperatures. Others can be distributed easier.

[mackdaddy]

21. You are on your way, but not for a while yet.

I am in group 1c and vaccine not available to me yet here in OH. Hopefully soon. I have registered though.

But my 87 year old mom got her first Phizer shot on Jan 15 at her assisted living home. Unfortunately some one who had been out of the facility came back in to her wing and was positive on about Jan 17th and mom was got it and tested positive on Jan 20th.

She was taken to a covid wing at a nursing home and treated with predizone and fortunately did not go on a vent but was coughing up chunks for weeks though.

She has had some additional mental confusion, but is back to her assisted living room this week. It was definitely touch and go for a while.

So don't let you guard down yet.

[marble falls]

25. I'm not letting up until no-one is left behind. I used to work at the old Brecksville VA hospital ..

We think I got Covid Thanksgiving 2019. I was in the hospital for a week. All they could tell me was it was some sort of rhinovirus. When I'd cough, I'd pass out. It felt like Pneumonia but no fever.

28. You're lucky. Only about 6% of Travis County have been vaccinated

‘It’s not time to take off our masks,’ Austin Public Health says as COVID-19 vaccination at just 6 percent

AUSTIN (KXAN) — With only about 6% of the county’s population aged 18 and over being vaccinated, health officials say the idea of the mask mandate being lifted doesn’t sit well with them and it shouldn’t end anytime soon.

[marble falls]

33. The mask is not coming off till it's over. I'm kinda shocked with the vaccination% in Travis Co ...

... though I'd be as surprised if Burnett Co is that high: so far only 4,000 or so shots have made it here.

[CRK7376]

34. Me too, Mederna at Walgreens

My VA clinic wait was ridiculous. Now I feel a great burden lifted and feel much more comfortable within my classroom with highschool teenagers who don't exactly like having 6ft separation or wearing their masks correctly....

[SheltieLover]

36. Congrats!

I got 1st Pfizer this afternoon!

[marble falls]

38. Funny how a real President can make it happen.

[SheltieLover]

47. Yup!

[LetMyPeopleVote]

37. Congrats

[Wounded Bear]

39. Got my first shot last Saturday. Welcome to the club...

We've been Modernized.

[marble falls]

40. And ain't it grand!

[Wounded Bear]

41. Yep, got mine at the Seattle VA Hospital...nt

[marble falls]

44. VA has been literally life saving for me.

[Wounded Bear]

46. You and me both. Can't afford even the ACA...nt

[Roisin Ni Fiachra]

42. Got my second one yesterday.

18 hrs later the injection site is slightly sore, but that's the only side effect so far.

[marble falls]

43. I'm envious, I get number 2 next 26th. Glad you had only a minimal 'owie'!

[Goodheart]

45. Got first dose of the Pfizer vaccine yesterday. I feel great.

Although to be honest I would have preferred to not be eligible.
