Have you gotten a COVID vaccine?

[JulieBeeRN]

I went to sign up for the vaccine and my hospital system said I have to wait 90 days after having covid. I had covid last month so if I decide to get it I have to wait until February.

That’s what my hospital is doing with past CV+ employees too.

One of the NPs I work with got the first vaccine yesterday. She said her arm is a bit sore and that’s it.

Most reactions occur after the 2nd dose when the body gets a boost.

Yes, I will be very interested in our first vaccinators receiving their 2nd dose in the next month so please keep us updated.

My daughter, an ICU RN who has been caring for COVID19 patients, gets her first vaccine tomorrow. My GD tested positive yesterday. She was at her Dad’s. She seems to be handling it pretty well. Hoping her Dad doesn’t get it or if he does it’s mild. I woke up with “cold” symptoms today. Since I work from home and we haven’t seen people since December 6th when I last saw GD I hope it’s just a cold. No fever. If I still don’t feel well tomorrow I will try to track down a CoVid test.

DD says her employers are saying they'll get their vaccine 12/28 and start inoculations. She works in a nursing home/LTC facility so they are at the front of the line for the vaccine. I'm relieved she'll be getting the vaccine!

I’ve had some side effects since I got the vaccine yesterday, but I’d rather deal with that then having covid.

Like what? Body aches? Fever? Sore arm?

If I’m offered, I’ ll take it in a heartbeat! I’m not religious, but I can have you all with my good thoughts! Believe in science! I‘m an engineer and I research and read about everything that is progress and good for humanity. It is very unfortunate that we have so many conspiracy theories that we are losing the real marvel of science that was achieved with this vaccine and I couldn’t been more proud that was done in USA! From the methodology and new technology used for this vaccine I expect many other medical advancements in treating and cure of other illnesses. It is amazing!

I had a fever, muscle aches and fatigue for about 48 hours. Still would get it again in a heartbeat.

Appreciate it.
Keep us updated after your 2nd shot. That’s when symptoms really show itself for most people. The symptoms after the first shot have been relatively mild or absent.

Hope the 2nd dose will go a lot better for you.

DD got hers today so far sore arm, normal for her with shots.

 

[Southernmiss]

Our son got one today. It was like getting a flu shot.

So far, no issues. Has scheduled his 2nd for 3 weeks from today.

Our hospital just started vaccinations today. When it’s your turn, they will send an email with a link to make an appointment. I’m an RN working in a clinical consulting position. We see anywhere from 15-25 patients per shift, often spending 30 minutes or more in close bodily contact at a time. I have no idea where my department will fall in the schedule. Because we’re consultants & nobody in administration actually knows how we do our jobs, I’m afraid they have no idea how physically close we are much of the time. I know I’ll get it eventually, but I expect if it will be mid January.

Our county only got a few thousand doses & we have 7 major hospitals. And nursing homes are supposed to start next week too. No idea how this is all going to work. All’s I can say is I better not see athletes & celebrities start getting vaccinations before health care & essential workers.

Our son did today, paramedic.

I had my vaccine at 0700 Wednesday morning. At 0100 Thursday I woke up with chills. I went to work at 0700 Thursday. It turns out one of my best work friends who'd also had the shot on Wednesday also had chills and felt bad overnight. The funny thing is we both had Covid in July (ER nurses). Our docs think that it's because we already have antibodies so our first shot was like a second shot to someone who hasn't had the virus yet. By mid afternoon Thursday I felt better and today I'm totally fine. I get my second injection on January 8th.

I wanted to add, that most of the people I know who had the shot on Wednesday felt fine except for site tenderness. Lots of sore arms.

My husband got his 36 hours ago. He hasn’t had any side effects other than a sore arm (similar to flu shot).

WV teachers got a survey to fill out to indicate if they want the vaccine. It had to be returned by today. I signed up. The teachers are in phase 1-D of the vaccination plan with priority given to those 50 and above.
