Jabbed

Got my first vaccine shot yesterday! Pfizer, no real side effects so far (my arm is a bit sore and I had trouble sleeping last night). My second is already scheduled, for April 7th. I went to the state department of health site at Moscone Center in San Francisco, which is a well-oiled machine -- apparently, they're taking care of 7,000 people a day. Perhaps ironically, it's being operated by my health care provider... who won't schedule me for an appointment yet.

It doesn't feel quite real yet, maybe because my risk doesn't really drop for a couple of weeks, and realistically I'm not sure much will change in terms of my behavior even when it reaches full effectiveness in mid-April. But it's still a huge relief to have it done.

Congrats!!

I was reading something the other day about why primary care docs aren't distributing this vaccine the way they do every other one and I don't remember the details, but a lot of it has to do with the storage conditions and the shelf life once the vial's opened. It might change as the J&J vaccine is distributed more widely, but it's both that and the fact that every state is handling the distribution differently.

Yeah, my village has basically said "we have the infrastructure we just don't have the vaccine in hand." They seem to be getting really close, though!

Congratulations!! I got my first a little over a week ago and get my follow up on April 9. I feel you on the arm being sore - mine hurt worse the second day, but it was mostly gone away by day 3. Never really felt any other effects, but we'll see with shot #2.
