COVID vaccinations! Have you gotten yours?

[merithyn]

Given that we're an international community, I wondered who has gotten their vaccinations and who is still waiting. I also thought it would be interesting to sort of track when everyone does get theirs, assuming they want one.

I got my first vaccination this afternoon, almost exactly one year after the initial lockdown in the US. I qualified due to being diabetic, which in Illinois was allowed over two months after the 65+ crowd. (The state approved it on February 25th, but my county didn't approve going to that level until last Thursday.)

Anyone else gotten theirs yet?

EDIT: I think enough people have now gotten the shot - or have access to the shot - that the poll is now worthwhile. It's changeable, so feel free to come back and update as fits.

I got my first one in another thread.

Not yet.  Iowa DPH site makes it look like I'll qualify around May depending on supply.

[Sheilbh]

Getting mine a week on Thursday.

After an initially good start Denmark is back to a slow moving pace along with the rest of EU, but maybe in late April.

Not yet.

My mom (age 70) can set an appointment for her first shot in a week.  Due to vaccine shortages Canada is trying a controversial strategy of giving first shots to everyone, and delaying the second shot by 4 months.  There apparently is real-world evidence that shows just the initial shot does give significant protection, but since these vaccines haven't even been approved for 4 months yet and nobody studied a 4 month delay, this is something of a gamble.

The closest I have to a time-table is "spring or early summer".  The government has also said they hope to have all adults receive their first dose by the end of June.

It's going to be in late august, early september. So, not yet.

Freaking Americans.

There have been trials under way in many places in Canada, so I guess they are comparing vaccinated test subjects with those who got a placebo.

I do not know at which point those who got a placebo will be told they need to come back for the real one...

Anyway.  In my area, it's for 75+ right now.
Once it lowers a notch, I'll have my dad's girlfriend register for both of them, and I guess I'll be among the next group, given my health problems.

Ask me again "in summer." (as per chancellor Kurz)

[Tamas]

My guess it's going to be around (late) May for me.

Virginia made teachers  priority, so I got both jabs (second one on Friday).  No side effects.

Part-time teaching FTW!

Fuck.  I was really banking on Canada being travelable this summer. 

[Valmy]

Waiting patiently. I have alerted the bureaucracy to my needs and am waiting for them to alert me for my appointment. Any day now surely.

People around me are combing the whole state for vaccines and are willing to drive hundreds of miles to some random Walgreens to get one. I am not there just yet...

It'll probably be travelable.  I think GF's timeline is about right for everyone receiving their second dose (Quebec is also following that strategy).  It'll be hard to justify having the border closed if the US is largely vaccinated and disease-free.
