COVID vaccinations! Have you gotten yours?

[Barrister]

Mrs B got the vaccine today!     #Moderna  (she started working in a doctor's office and thus qualifies)

My appointment is coming up on Friday...

A friend of mine took a healthy dose of paracetamol on the night after getting the AZ jab on Sunday and seems like avoided all symptoms including arm ache. I wonder if that's a good thing or not.

BTW, my 99 years old grandma has gone through her two Moderna shots ok, I am sure you'll be fine as well.

I don't know how much difference it makes but it sounds like when I take a paracetamol before going to bed if I've been out drinking/in the pub based on some rumour that it reduces the hangover

I recommend plenty of water next time, instead. Works wonders.

I do both for I am ageing

It was recommended that I drink a liter of water before and after my Moderna #2 shot. Dunno if it helped much, but my symptoms were mildish.

My mother got her first dose today. 

[Berkut]

I'm going out to get it in about 15 minutes.  This seems like it's taking forever.

You're waiting in line outside the vaccination centre?

No, I live only about 5 miles from the place to get the vaccine.  I drove up there and I was able to get it without any problems.  When I said it's taking forever I mean it's taking forever to get access to the vaccine.  The state of Missouri is the worst in the country for getting people the vaccine.  The place I went did not appear to be run by the state, the army was doing this.

It is almost certainly the State National Guard, actually.

Yay!

My mother got her first dose today. 

My 91 yr old mother, had her 2nd AZ jab this morning, not spoken to her yet, but the after first one she basically had no reaction to it.

I think that's common, no?

Younger people have more of a reaction to it because the immune system is more vigorous the younger you get? My dad had no reaction to it either and he's in his late 70s.

Yes,  I was somewhat surprised by how little reaction I had. 

[Zoupa]

No reaction is the huge majority of people. Around 10% suffer side effects.

It's a real common misconception that "I didn't get a reaction, is this thing doing anything?"

Thanks Zoupa, that's good to know.
