Re: Covid-19 Vaccination -- Have You Gotten It?
My friend and her hubby in NJ got their Pfizer shots...14 days later they got the 2nd one. Cant say I am happy about the Canadian Government pushing it back to 16 weeks.

Re: Covid-19 Vaccination -- Have You Gotten It?
As from March 15 California will extend eligibility for vaccinations to people aged 16 to 64 who are at high risk for serious illness from COVID-19.
There are 12 primary conditions listed, including pregnancy, cancer, obesity, heart conditions, diabetes; conditions which are very prevelent in the population.
Basically, from March 15 anyone is eligible.
Good luck to those in the older age groups who, to date, have still not got their first shots.
To date only 17% of the population have had one dose, and only 7% have had 2 shots.

I had my first pfizer shot today and an appointment made for 3 weeks time. I also was asked to stick around the store for 15 minutes so I went straight to the wine section and found a lovely bottle of "cremant de limoux" which I don't often see here. Nice bottle of bubbly to celebrate the road back to some semblance of normality.

Looking like the end of the month for myself in NC - Not at risk, but an essential non frontline worker - which to be fair covers most / if not all jobs.

Relative who works in a University in Northern California and who was due his jab tomorrow (45 and no underlying conditions but he's in education and so gets a special pass) has just been notified by Blue Shield (who have taken over the administration of distribution of vaccine - yes, another layer of bureaucracy) his appointment has been cancelled due to vaccines going to the Central Valley and vulnerable areas.... well, they did vote for Newsom so perhaps they'll be OK with this.....

Had my first one last weekend (Pfizer) and due to have my second one 3 weeks after that. No after effects apart from a slightly sore arm that felt like a bruise. DH won't get one until it's opened up to people with pre-existing conditions.

Got my second Moderna injection this morning at Lynchburg TN, Moore county drive thru. Only a few cars there and no waiting. No problems yet about same as first injection with arm a little sore. In two weeks plan to go back to business as usual. I have worn a mask and practiced social distancing since day one while few others in my area have.

My wife managed to snag her first Pfizer dose on Tuesday from a Walgreens. Had to drive 40 minutes to get it, but no big deal. She qualified in GA due to having a 'high risk' illness (high blood pressure) I feel better now, as I could do nothing to help her get one and I have had both of mine since January.
When we got to the Walgreens at 345pm, they asked us if we knew anyone inside of an hour away that wanted the shot. They had 17 doses they had to use by 6pm or dispose of - and no more scheduled appointments for the day after hers.
Unfortunatly we didn't know anyone that would be available that soon on a workday.

It was my thought too, that this was most likely not the first time this had happened.
