COVID vaccine: who has had it?
- Thread starter nittanyfan333
- Start date
Check with Butler Health Sytem. And if she is a veteran the VAs in Pittsburgh have administered over 12,000 doses.
In Monterey County they are slow, very slow. They are only giving shots to healthcare workers and 75 or older. Somebody please light a fire under their asses.
Got our second Pfizer this past Friday. I went through fever, aches, and headache side effects for about 12 hours yesterday
It took three days before you had the side effects? Damn, I might be in for a fun ride when I get my second later this month.
I’ve wondered about this with places that give out the extra shots they have....what if they don’t have extra for the second dose? How are you going to get it?
Got my second shot last week and my father who is 91 got shot #2 yesterday. He is visiting from PA. and I am thankful he was able to get his before returning to PA.
I can only speak for my situation, but they are planning the distribution in pairs. I got the first shot because they had doses that they couldn't use for the target group before they expired. Once the first shot was given, I was added to the list for those who would get the second.
Spartan Pharmacy clinics. Peter’s Township starting 6 day per week clinic soon.
Giant Eagle announced they will start having vaccine clinics soon. Didn’t hear any details but keep your eye, or stop into a store and ask.
My wife and I received our second Moderna shot 2 weeks ago today. So we should be as fully immunized as we can be now and until they develop a booster for the variants.
The only reaction we had was a sore arm at the injection site that lasted about two days. It was not as bad as the two shingles vaccine shots were.

I got my first shot (Moderna) on Tuesday.
For those in Allegheny County, here is a website that says make an appointment tomorrow for an event on Tuesday in Castle Shannon
I got this info from my son.
Good luck!

How does your arm feel today? I didn’t feel anything until the next day. Felt like a deep bruise at the injection sight. Nothing bad but it did hurt a bit.
Got my first shot of Moderna vac yesterday at St Luke's Hospital Allentown. Arrived 11:10am, got my shot and waited 15 minutes in the auditorium (wait required to insure no adverse reactions). Second shot scheduled for March 11, 11:am. Scheduled online and everything ran smoothly. Got a nice badge, says: "I got my covid 19 vaccine at St Luke's University Health Network."
I felt a little bit of soreness last night when I was laying in bed, but feels back to totally normal today.
I’m signed up to get my second dose next Saturday. My daughter received her second dose Monday and had no ill effects, which is encouraging.
My wife got Pfizer #1. Had a brief low grade fever, and now has joint pain and aches, but that's consistent with what she gets after a flu shot, too.

Got my 1st shot this past Monday. No reaction at all for 3 days, not even site pain. Then Friday I was nauseous first thing with bowel pain, lasted all morning then stated to go away throughout the day. Friday evening and all day Saturday I was drained/tired. Close to 100% today(Sunday)

Got Pfizer #1 about 24 hours ago. Absolutely no side effects. No sore arm. Nothing.
I had to drive 174 miles RT to get it. My daughter is a nursing prof and she found a clinic that had openings. Pa. has to have the most incompetent government anywhere. Everything (unemployment compensation, shutdowns, vaccine rollout, etc.) they have touched during the pandemic has been grossly mismanaged. All state functions should be subcontracted to the private sector and every state employee should be fired. There is no accountability whatsoever. All you hear is "we are doing the best we can." That means they are tolerating incompetence.

Wife and I got Moderna #1 at our local Walgreens this past Saturday. Quick, easy and efficient. Wife's arm was sore enough for her to complain about it. Mine just felt like a when you get a flu shot. No other side effects to report, thankfully. Scheduled for shot #2 March 13th.
Same thing here. #2 yesterday, chills overnight, and really beat down today.
But I’ll take it.
Some react strongly to first shot. The consensus is, if you do, you have probably already been infected and have anti bodies that react to the vaccine.
Got #1 Pfizer today at Mt Nittany. They had a smooth operation running there and I was told they planned to do 1200 doses today. Operation seemed reasonably well though through. They also started a waitlist today so people can sign up and wait instead of hoping for appointments to open.
Little bit of irritation in my arm at times but nothing more serious than that.

Thanks for ALL of your informative posts.
And I got my second Pfizer shot today.
No sweat five hours later.

Good! Hope it stays that way. Apparently symptoms typically take roughly 6-12 hours to set in, and will last anywhere from 12-48 hours at most. But I've heard from folks who have less side effects from the second dose than the first. It just varies.
Anecdotally, the folks I know who have gotten their second dose (usually late morning or in the afternoon) suffer their first real side effects in the middle of that first night. Typically chills.
Whatever the case, a day of fatigue, occasional chills, and some soreness is definitely worth the peace of mind and the immunity.
Just got second dose this morning at 0730. I work nights so I came home, took two Tylenol PM and slept for 6 hours. Feel a little flush but nothing else so far (knock on wood). Might be the first time that working night shift actually helped me. 12 hours down, we will see how it goes tonight.
Our results similar Bowie. Me almost nothing, from first shot on Saturday. Full day of physical work on home improvement. Mrs BB had chills and fatigue from both shots. 33 ur old daughter/ teacher is wipes out by second shot. Extreme pain and headache. Seems all over the place, all Moderna.
yeah, unfortunately PA is 47 out of 50 with respect to worst vaccine roll outs so far. couple that with what Wolff has already shut down compared to other states which is a much higher level of shutdowns, i don't have a good feeling Beaver Stadium will be full come September. I think there will be fans, but is that 25% or 33% or 50% that I don't know.
And this doesn't help
