Covid-19 Vaccination -- Have You Gotten It?

Re: Covid-19 Vaccination -- Have You Gotten It?
I don't know that this was policy, exactly, or just my parents, but for our baby vaccinations my parents had the nurse give them to us in the bottom of our feet (?!!) so we wouldn't have visible scars. I don't even know that those vaccines left scars any more at that point. There were never any on my feet anyway. But I remember as a child seeing large scars on adults' arms. I got a tb shot at 13, in my arm, and there was little white mark that is now invisible unless you know exactly what to look for, and where. It annkyed my parents at the time. Damaged goods.

(Yes, I agree on the smallpox thing, and no scar here from the TB one).

The initial test was done on the underside of your wrist. The vaccination was given in the outside of the upper arm for boys and girls. I remember the injection site developed into what looked like a small volcano...then it erupted. I have the scar.
I don’t recall any vaccination being different for boys and girls.

I'm just curious to know .... after the second Pfi or Mod shot; who had side effects and how severe per se? I am to have my 2nd one this over the weekend and I am stoked .... to see if I have side effects. I am approaching it like a massive hangover; which, like many on here, can share a few stories of events which led up to a doozy of a hangover. As they say, 'bad decisions make good stories' .........

I think that was the BCG jab etc.

At school we were stabbed in the wrist with an instrument that left a circular pattern of 6 dots. A quick google shows up Heaf Test:

We had similar for the medical for our Green Cards 20 years ago.

That's strange I was born ion '48 and my sister in '49. We both have had the vaccination for smallpox and the still visible scarring on our left arms.

It may have been related to location. My wife is a Jersey girl and has the scar. I’m a native Angeleno and never received it.

Had my second Moderna shot this morning. I can feel the sore arm coming along but also expecting to feel under the weather for 48 hours as most people my age who I work with said they had chills, fatigue, low grade fever etc.
Glad to be done for now, at least until potential boosters come out in the future.

Was talking with some friends from Memphis today and they said local Walmart’s were giving free gift certificates to entice people to get Covid vaccinations.

I was very impressed with Kaiser in PNW, I didn't even feel the Pfizer injection so easier than the flu jab. Arm a little aching now, this is #1, and #2 appointment was automatically booked for 3 weeks, same place & time.
The setup in their Renton admin building was great, from the greater, check-in, injection and recovery area. I must have spent less than 20min in the building which includes the 15min recovery. Everyone was kind, professional, and super-efficient.
