COVID vaccine: who has had it?
- Thread starter nittanyfan333
- Start date
second Pfizer 8 days ago. Had intense reaction in lymph nodes in arm pit in the arm I got the shot for about 3 days. Swollen, active, kinda painful, but not to bad. Which I find reassuring as this vaccine clearly activating immune system. Nothing systemic or constitutional. Today I went and got a haircut at my barbers for the first time in a year........
My wife got her second shot of Moderna today. She had soreness after the first shot, but nothing else. After this one, she’s up in bed sick and everyone she works with that got their second shots today all feel sick as well. We’ll see how she feels tomorrow.
As a Hawaiian native, can you explain the travel deal... it is rather confusing.
As I read it, if we are traveling to your island with a stop in, say, LA.... we need to get and PASS the test provided at LAX. That means we need to book enough time into our layover to allow us to find the covid test shop and get it done.
It also means if we test positive, we are unable to fly anwhere and are left to "vacation" in LA since no one would let us fly after a positive (and could be false positive, but good luck with that).
What made no sense was what if we test clean in LA but then pick it up on the flight to HLL?? Are we tested yet again in Hawaii? And if we fail, there's a 10 day quarantine?
So could we fly non-stop from miami with a test prior to the flight... such that if we fail the test at least we can drive home and quarantine there?
I'm asking because I have close family that thinks they can just go to Hawaii... and I think only the rich and famous who have homes there can make that so.
Your thoughts welcome!
Boy, that sums it up so well. You CANNOT untake it. Once it's in there, you own it. Good luck.
The wife woke up this morning feeling fine and off to work, so that’s good news for vaccine folks.
my parents and in-laws (both in mid 70s) all did some work on line, found where to sign up, and all 4 got appointments. In NJ they got them within a week of signing up. In Pa, it was 16 days out so late first week of February. So seems that if you are in that 75 and older category, you can get the vaccine now.
There was also Bell's palsy cases in the placebo group, and there is Bell's palsy if you get COVID-19. Not enough cases to strongly suggest a correlation with the vaccine causing the palsy. So if you are looking for reasons not to vaccinate, you can scratch this off the list.
Really a whole year. I have been 4 times since the summer when they opened back up.
multiple home made haircuts, which had a cumulative negative impact on my hair!! Once was in line for vaccine, waited and let it grow out so barber could repair the self inflicted damage
Seemed like quite a few small operators were doing home/garage based cuts over the shut down period. Funny to see a few of my friends with really long hair. Gillette is my barber so no problem for me.
My wife has been cutting my hair for 40 years. While I realize that she is incentivized to make me look bad to other women, I think she knows that I don't need her help for that.
Both of my parents (early 70s) also enrolled in the Pfizer trial and both confirmed vaccine recently. Good luck to you...
Congrats to your parents!
I believe Pfizer said it best in one of their Participant study e-mails; volunteers are/were "courageous and special people. Pfizer Kudos comment,am sure,includes all
Moderna ,JnJ,Astra Zeneca + other Pharmacy company participants.
At this moment still surfing the net while waiting for my "Unblinding " telephone call from Pfizer rep. Will see what it's all about.

I just scheduled mine with WellSpan health because of non-COVID risk factor. Who knew large penis size was a risk factor? Anyway, date is March 30th, with option to take earlier spot if one becomes available.
can anyone post the Medical Release form you have to sign in order to get the Vaccine injection?
Thank you.
Thank you.
I don't have a copy, but the form I signed was close to stock with one or two questions about whether I had had the virus or was experiencing any symptoms. The rest of the questions were about my health, any recent medical treatments, and allergies.
Got mine Wednesday. Very well organized drive thru in Mt Dora FL. FL & TX leading the nation in vac for 65+. 80% of deaths are in this group. Get them immune, most deaths stop
did not sign any form. There was questionnaire about symptoms and allergies and disclosure of expected side effects. They listed the chemical names of the lipofectin ingredients in full chemical nomenclature. But did not sign a form
Yes there was a CDC COVID-19 vaccination form. There is a place for stickers from each of your shots with the lot #. Of course the damn card is too big to fit in your wallet unfolded. It could easily be credit card sized as the stickers are really small, but it is about 3x4 inches in size.
I was on the fence but my kids pressured me to signup. I was on the fence and don't usually jump in line to get vaccines but since I know so many adversely effected by covid, even some that died, I figure the effects of vax can't be any worse they getting Covid and having something happen to me since we don't know how it will effect me. I became eligible when they expanded Phase I cause I am fat. Scheduled today, appt 3 weeks out, I was planning to wait until last phase but kids apparently like having me around. 
Wellspan did a really nice job preparing for this. Their site was immediately up and running the day the 1A group was expanded. They had 22 locations you could choose from to receive the vaccine all on a centralized site. There were a ton of times at all centers to choose from including evenings and weekends. They are currently full but they were on the ball and very organized.
Can’t say the same for UPMC/ Pinnacle and the Penn St Hershey centers. They appear to have been caught flat footed with a ‘we don’t know when we can schedule anyone- check back later’ approach.
Well done Wellspan.
My wife and I have both had the shot. No reaction what so ever. Get our second shot Feb. 1
Sore arm after a few hours but otherwise no effect. 2nd dose is scheduled for Feb 19th.
Received second dose this week. First one caused some swelling and pain of my shoulder for two days. Second one hit me quite a bit harder. Basically, I had severe pain in the shoulder, and couldn't put on my shirt or coat without a lot of groaning and wincing. Felt tired and flu-like symptoms for 24 hours. Shoulder is improved, but still painful with turning and lifting beyond 90 degrees. I still believe that it is a bargain. I know there is still a lot we don't know, but I feel as though a weight has been removed.
The father of one of my daughters good friends is a surgeon. He took the second dose and it knocked him out and he is currently in bed now. My daughter said that he was "paralyzed" which is undoubtedly an exaggeration.
In the update dept.: Got a call from a Pfizer rep yesterday.
Asked if I wanted to continue being A member of their two year study program:
I said fine.
Then said I'd be getting a call on Monday from the authorized Pfizer "Unblinding" spokesperson re the shots I received months ago.
Would have the Vaccine or Placebo answer for me.
If it was the Placebo, then I'd start getting the Vaccine shots later in the week.

Got mine. Only side effect is from the microchip. Every time my wife turns on the microwave I piss my pants and forget who I am.
Got an appt at Geisinger Danville Feb 23. A little trek but nowhere local has an appt. Geisinger in Danville and Jersey Shore appear to have a availability in February.
I’m looking for a location that has it available. I’m 72 and the only place I’ve located is only providing it to those over 75. Anyone know of a location in SE Pa or vicinity? Thanks
