COVID vaccinations! Have you gotten yours?

[PDH]

I snuck in under the wire - UC was all set to vaccinate staff, but California changed their system and now the campus is not going to receive any more 1st doses.  I was eligible to get it from UC (as an essential worker), but not so much from California (where I am essential, but just a cog in the machine).

I got the first shot (Moderna) on 1 Feb, and the 2nd this last Friday.

After 1st shot:  Sore arm...that was it.
After 2nd shot: Sore arm again (though much less so), woke up the next day feeling a bit congested and with a temperature...but felt better later enough in the day that I went for a 2.5 mile run.  Maybe felt a little more overall achy/spent after that (but at my age, it can be hard to tell it wasn't just the run) but was better again on Sunday, and back to normal Monday.

Though, in general, it has always felt like my immune system is pretty top notch (I cannot even remember having even a cold or flu in the 2.5 years I've been in Blighty).

I'm willing to support your last sentence. I was sick as hell the week we were in Scotland, London, and Paris, and you didn't even get a sniffle.

My father in law got his first shot three weeks ago.  Mrs. CC is booking hers now (she falls into the category of a visitor to his home*).  Looks like mine is going to happen in April/May.

The boys, are back of the line - young and health.  But no really good idea when that will be.


*If I had been a more dutiful son in law I would probably be on the list...

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

I'm in the non-prioritized group and my county is vaccinating groups 1A and 1B, so we're probably not getting it until April or May at the earliest.

Groups 1A and 1B are so fucking goofy.  There's no goddamn group 2, or 3, ,or 4.  1B is the bottom of the barrel.

yeah that's pretty silly. At least just call it group A and group B. But I guess that would make group B members feel not special.

Up here in BC we have Phase 1, 2, 3, and 4. And I'm in Phase 4.

Alaska announced signups available for anyone over age 16 effective today

If that is the case, why isn't he eligible now?

In New Jersey it's different.  There is Phase 1A, and then there is Phase 1B, but Phase 1B is phased in in phases.  By virtue of being slightly overweight, I think I'm going to be in the fourth phase of Phase 1B.

I filled out a form today to register myself for vaccine eligibility notifications.  The problem was that when it came to listing individual health risk factors, they lumped in the factors for the second phase of Phase 1B and the fourth phase of Phase 1B in one huge list (Do you have cancer? Do you have diabetes? Do you have slight aches in the morning?).  Given that I'm slightly overweight (BMI of 26), it seems to say that I'm eligible, but I shouldn't be for at least another week.  For now we're only up to the second phase of Phase 1B, which covers severely obese; the overweight ones are going to be in the fourth phase of Phase 1B.

Our provincial health minister is being interviewed now, he repeated what the PHO said on Monday, that we should be vaccinated by Canada Day - ie by the end of June.

That's good. I do hope that they figure out the sign-up process a bit better in our local health authority, though. Seems like someone fucked up.

The problem was with the service provider (Telus).  Vancouver Coastal doesn't have its own call centre (all others do) and Telus assured them that it could handle the call volume - Telus has apologized and it looks like they have fixed whatever their technical problem was on Monday.

Oh that's good to hear.

Actually, it's 1A, 1B, 1C, and 2.
