Coronavirus Sars-CoV-2/Covid-19 Megathread

This time Pfizer - slightly annoyed that it meant I had to wait for 15 minutes of observation at the end

I was recommended to wait 15 minutes before driving with AZ as well Staying put at the centre was optional.

I had to stay. They gave me a badge with the time of jab on it and then I had to sit in a room with a giant clock and a health centre worker as bouncer

I imagine it's because I'm in the vulnerable group so maybe higher chance of taking a funny turn?

I got the Pfizer and had to wait 15 minutes as well.  Instead of a center worker as a bouncer it was the national guard.  I choose not to argue with them.

When I got mine everyone had to sit down 15 minutes. Or had to, I don't know if anyone would have stopped me if I had walked out. More like instructed to.

Here, 15 minutes wait after all covid vaccines.

My first shot was at a government facility.  They indeed had a designated waiting area and made sure you couldn't leave before 15 minutes.

My second shot was at a pharmacy inside a grocery store.  They had a seat for you to wait your 15 minutes but weren't actively checking.  I waited the 15 minutes.

Later in the summer I went and got a pneumococcal vaccine that had been recommended for me to get.  This was another grocery store pharmacy.  They told me to wait 15 minutes.  I asked if I could do some shopping.  They said "well we can't stop you - but be sure to sit down if you start feeling woozy".  I got some groceries.

I got vaccinated at a health center of my insurance. They also asked you to wait for 15-20 minutes after the shots. That said, if I had just up and left I doubt anyone would have stopped me.

In fairness I think I could've taken them

When I had to wait for the 15 minutes after vaccination, they offered free non-alcoholic drinks. Which I found weird as you had to wear a mask there obviously.

Y'all got some low social capital.  It never even crossed my mind to ditch the waiting period.

I went with my wife for both shots and for the first one they said to wait 15 minutes, and I just walked out...but that backfired because my wife did wait.

I explained to her that waiting was stupid, and then for the second shot she just walked out like I did.

I mean obviously I followed the rules. Just annoyed because for the first two jabs it was just a giant tent and when you were done you just walked out (or I misunderstood something ).

The 15 minute waiting period is for all vaccines.  I've never had a reaction to a shot before.

I mean I won't get behind the wheel in those 15 minutes but it seems to me a very slight risk that you're going to pass out and fall while walking around.

[HVC]

I had to wait 15 minutes for both my shots too. i guess i could have left early, but then i wouldn't have gotten my "receipt" confirming i got my doses.

[PDH]

I immediately started to operate heavy machinery, but then I live dangerously.

You are a shitty gambler.

Sure, developing an extreme allergic reaction was extremely unlikely but essentially you bet your life on that to gain 10 minutes.

After my first shot I walked out to my car straight away but then sat around for 10 minutes as I did have a 10 minutes drive home and did not intend to develop symptoms while driving. Based on nothing happening, I just went straight home after the second one.
