Astrazeneca. I don't think it's approved in the US. No pain, a little itching at the injection site.
The way it works in the NL: I got a mail telling me I was to get my first shot today and had to log in to a website to get a time to show up at the GP. I imagine that should go smoothly but my log in didn't work and it took me six phone calls to finally sort it all out and get a time. My Dutch is pretty bad. Mostly everyone speaks English but we still managed to create some misunderstandings.
Anyway hordes of people lined up at the doctor's office. Masks were required. Employees directed us to follow the duct taped arrows, 1.5m apart. Got the shot, went to the physical therapy gym to sit for 15 minutes in chairs that were spaced 1.5m apart, left when my time was up.
It was super easy and I've not been in a room with that many people in over a year, so that made me nervous. But it was fine and I'm thrilled to think we may have an end to lockdowns sometime. And maybe I'll see my kids again, I hope!!

(26,177 posts)The vaccination clinic is at a local 'super store'. They cleared out what I assume are two massive storage areas (one for the jab and one for the 15 minute waiting period) so personal distancing wasn't an issue, at all. Everyone was masked. Having never been in any 'employees only' area of one of these businesses, I was really shocked at the size of the space. And, I wondered where they put everything that had been stored there.
I go back on March 18 for the second jab. These 3 weeks can't go by fast enough, for me. My brother gets his 2nd jab next Friday so by mid-April we will both be in a good place.
I might even feel comfortable enough, by Easter, to make dinner for my very small immediate family.
