The COVID Vaccination Thread (1 Viewer)

[Scott Merryfield]

My wife and I had our first Pfizer shot on Friday morning. We each had a sore arm, but that was the only side effect. The sore arm didn't hamper my round of golf the next morning -- I told the nurse giving me the shot this would be my ready-made excuse if I played poorly.

I woke up with a horrible headache at 4:30 this (Saturday) morning, but I think it was caffeine withdrawal because I didn't drink any coffee while I was enduring the fallout from Moderna #2.

Caffeine withdrawal can be nasty. I had enough of a headache from my first AstraZeneca dose without going the no caffeine route. I'll be making sure to have something on hand for headaches before my second shot at the end of July.

I hope you're feeling better today, Adam!

CHEERS!

Today I reach my two-weeks-past-second-shot. My wife reached hers two days ago. Huzzah!

We celebrated by going to Newick's Lobster House here in Concord, NH. Our first dining out in a year. We both had their excellent thick clam chowder. I had fried calamari (both spectacular and tentacular!) and she had chicken tenders (or, as I refer to it, "tuna of the barnyard").

I miss fried calamari. Excellent choice!

I love Newick's. Haven't been there in forever, but it's always a go-to place when driving thru Concord. We used to mix it up with Ruby Tuesday once in a while, but I think they're gone now?

Yes, I think Ruby Tuesday went out of business. The couple of restaurants around here closed (we rarely went to them), as did the one we would stop at in Mount Airy, NC on our way to our place in South Carolina.

Thanks. Looks like there are still some around (about 200), but they closed about half their locations during a recent bankruptcy reorganization. Too bad, as it was always a good meal when we visited the location in Concord.

 

[Clinton McClure]

Ruby Tuesday here went out of business 5 years ago but they should have closed much earlier than that.

Just got my second dose (Pfizer)

We’ll see how I feel over the next day or so.

Already taken tomorrow off

I also found out late today that our son will be able to register for the COVID vaccine beginning next week through his not being able to work from home!

It appears the above may have been a bit premature, but it's difficult to tell with Ontario's discombobulated 'fall through the cracks' registration setups!

Robert,

After you get your COVID-19 vaccine, keep your vaccination card safe — scammers are using the COVID-19 pandemic to try to steal your personal information.

Don't share a photo of your COVID-19 vaccination card online or on social media. Scammers can use content you post, like your date of birth, health care details, or other personal information to steal your identity.

Protect Yourself​

You should get a COVID-19 vaccination card at your first vaccine appointment. If you didn't, contact the provider site where you got vaccinated or your state health department to find out how to get a card.

If someone contacts you to buy or sell a vaccination card, it's a scam.

If you suspect COVID-19 health care fraud, report it online or call 800-HHS-TIPS (800-447-8477). TTY users can call 1-800-377-4950.

Sincerely,

The Medicare Team

The latest word is he and everyone at his workplace will be able to register for the COVID vaccine as of tomorrow!

CHEERS!

You gotta stay properly caffeinated to fight this pandemic!

I'd agree if I'd not cut my coffee intake by 2/3 over the past year due to me changing my working environment (been staying in my office in the elementary building I service all day and don't have ready access to a coffee pot - at my main office there's a pot beside my desk). In my main office I typically drink a 12 cup pot a day, in that elementary office I've been drinking 2 12 oz. cups a day.

Absolutely, and don't have your card laminated. There are additional lines for possible booster shots in the future. Just put it in a safe place.

Tomorrow I'll be celebrating my third week following my second Pfizer shot. I had no symptoms following the first and just felt a bit out of it the day after the second.

Stay well everyone and best of luck with this journey we're sharing worldwide.

I was diagnosed yesterday with an inner ear infection, so I'm thinking that may have been the real cause on Saturday.

 

[Scott Merryfield]

There will have to be procedures established for people to replace lost cards, just as there are for driver's licenses, passports, etc.

We will keep our cards with our passports in our fireproof safe.

 

[Patrick Sun]

Today I'm 14 days out from my 2nd Pfizer dose. That 5G upgrade had better be worth it!!!

 

[Tony Bensley]

Our son is registered for his first COVID vaccine shot Tuesday morning.

CHEERS!

My wife and son just had their 1st doses of Moderna. And I'm finally scheduled for mine in ~2 weeks -- yeah, been dragging my feet largely due to other craziness in life over the past month-plus...
