COVID vaccinations! Have you gotten yours?

[Razgovory]

My mom will get her shot in about 40 minutes.  I have no idea when I can get one, though it's probably not within the next hour.

[Maladict]

My parents should be able to get their shots soon though.

That's the one I'm most concerned about.

It really feels like this thread is just our US/UK posters going  while the rest of the world just waits.

It's good to be the king.

If it makes you feel any better, I won't be eligible for at least a couple months.  In Florida the priority went to the elderly and that's a really big demographic here.  The Miami Herald even offered tips on how to deal with vaccine envy:

Don't be mad at your abuela, Miami. Here's how to deal with your COVID vaccine envy

Even as a diabetic I'm not eligible in the current phase, which at current rates looks like it's going to end sometime mid summer.

Anecdotally it does seem like Moderna is the one that fucks people up the most.

I've heard that as well, but the experience at my school is that the Pfizer vaccine was the only one to cause significant side effects. 

Yes, I've heard this.
My mam got the Pfizer one, she was told she had to wait behind for 15 minutes after getting it and couldn't drive herself home again just in case there were side effects.
Its also said to be the one with the best effectiveness iirc?

I feel lucky that being a sports official meant I got the vaccine, and then unlucky that being a sports official then meant I got Covid from some dumb kids who refused to wear a mask properly during the game (don't get me started on that).

But I guess I ought to be damn near covid bulletproof now. First shot, then covid, then second shot!

I just tried to register as I am in the second priority group in Germany. But when I reached the end of the online booking process, all free slots had been taken.

My siblings, both physicians with direct exposure potential are vaccinated already. My parents are not old enough for the current priorities.

I just found out I've been vaccinated since November 17, but in my defense I did volunteer for a clinical trial (J&J).

According the current published plan I'll be getting dose 1 in July and dose 2 in August, but I think that plan is based on limited supply and we are hopeful that with the J&J approval the supply situation will improve.

Is BC not doing the 4 month delay?

[Iormlund]

Not even my parents are vaccinated yet. It's going to take a while.

Yes, I kept hearing that we are... in fact IIRC Dr. Henry was getting blowback for the idea as she was one of the first to do so. So I'm pretty sure we are. Maybe the schedule impact of the decision hasn't been fully calculated and percolated out to the website I was looking at.

So we'll see. I'm not super fussed either way.
