I got my first moderna vaccine today!!!! So did Matt.
Didn't hurt at all...didn't even know she stuck the needle in...
We got it at Wal-Mart, about 25-30 miles from here, our next shot is April 8th, then another two weeks after that...we will finally be able to fly down to Florida to see my parents and older sister!!! Its been a long wait! We will likely stay a month or two!
So far, about two hours since shot, no pain in arm..... Matt felt some pain starting about 5 minutes afterwards of soreness....not me!
My parents, in their 80's got their first and second shots already, along with my older sister....my sis, and father were sore for two or three days afterwards, my mother on both shots, felt nothing....I hope I take after her!
They make you sit there at the pharmacy, for about 15 minutes afterwards to make certain you have no reaction.
My sister and parents got their shot at a Publix grocery store, and my sis said she shopped around the store for 15 minutes instead of sitting there with my parents for the 15 min.
I just can't wait to see them! We were suppose to see them a year ago!
Congratulations.
I felt the same way when I got the first dose. It was Pfizer.
I didn't feel the shot either. My arm wasn't sore that day. It was sore the next day. The day after it wasn't sore anymore.
I will have the second shot on the 16th.
Two weeks later I will finally be able to go to Massachusetts. Where my favorite aunt died last April from the virus. There wasn't a memorial or funeral. No one got to say goodbye. I will at least be able to go spend time with my cousins and see her Urn. Hopefully I will finally be able to get some sort of closure for her death.
I qualified for the vaccine on January 7th. I looked everywhere for an appointment but there were none. Vaccine clinics were full and closed. It was like that until February. I was finally able to get an appointment the 25th.
I didn't get it at a private business. Such as a pharmacy. I got mine through the state at the fire station. I will return next week for my second dose.
It's interesting how fast things turned around with the vaccine. Thank goodness.
