Ed Kennell 35,143 #151 Posted March 5, 2021 Glad you got it Bob. Sounds like the Michigan scheduling system isn't too well organized. We don't have that problem in PeeAaa. There is no state or county scheduling system. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Said if I could be there in 30 minutes I could get the first dose of Pfizer vaccine and a guaranteed scheduled second shot for March 2. Made it in under 30 minutes and got it done! Second Pfizer shot done. I lucked out with getting my two without doing all the legwork....very lucky. Good luck to you all. 1 1 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

My first Moderna had no side effects at all but the wife was one sick puppy for a day. We get the second ones on the 17th and I may have to call in an exorcist for her if it is worse than the first one. I pray that it will go well. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Get my second on the 15th. If you don't see a post from me after that, well, wish me well and maybe reconsider your 17th.

Ed Kennell 35,143 #156 Posted March 6, 2021 I was feeling good after finally securing the appointment this morning. Now you guys are scaring me. If you don't hear from me Sunday, You can probably get some bargains when Mrs K has the yard sale. If she sells all my tractors, guns, boats, and fishing tackle for what I told her I paid for it........ 1 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
oliver2-44 8,770 #157 Posted March 6, 2021 Thursday I took my Mom, Stepdad and oldest brother for their 2nd shot. Their County is part of a three County Hub that has got it down. We drop about 40 minutes to where they are set up. Four lanes drive thru a couple of buildings at the county fair grounds that are the check stations for paperwork etc. Then they open the car doors, hit you in the arm and your done. They put a yellow stickie on the windshield with the time and you park and wait 15 minutes to insure no immediate reaction. An EMS Tech pulls the yellow stickie and says you can go. They have it staffed one or two days a week by some very efficient young National Guard troops. At 3:30 We were in the 4,100 numbers for the day. A large Clinic/Hospital chain has got the Hub for four Counties where I live and I'll just say they have a mess!!!!! 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ed Kennell 35,143 #158 Posted March 6, 2021 More good news, I just secured an appointment for Mrs. K for tomorrow. Same location as mine, so I can check out the wheel chair access tonight when I get mine. 1 3 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ed Kennell 35,143 #159 Posted March 7, 2021 I just got my first dose of Pfizer. No reaction so far. Wheel chair access is good, so I won't have any problems getting Mrs. K in for her first dose tomorrow. They agreed to schedule both second doses at the same time three weeks from tomorrow. 7 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Stormin 9,975 #163 Posted March 7, 2021 After my shot of Zeneca I did feel a bit tired the next day. SWMBO had a headache and lethargy the following day. Next day normal service resumed. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm running out of space anyway. I had minor pain at my little bandaid if I laid on it for a couple days but that was all. I am hearing that my next in 8 days might be more problematic...
