COVID Vaccination

[SoFla Steve]

Probably Moderna - 4 week wait for 2nd, Pfizer is 3

Yes, it was Moderna.

I'm not wasting any more time trying to do this today. Pretty frustrating that going through the YNHH site - and you click on an appointment but by the time you fill the form out it is gone.

That just happened to me again. I got all excited because a Sunday afternoon spot popped up at Yale's West Haven campus. I clicked and it sent me back to MyChart and then it was gone.

Bam! Just landed a spot this Sunday morning at Yale's West Haven campus.

I figured out an easier way of refreshing the Yale MyChart availability calendar, without having to fill out all those same forms and answer the same questions every time you want to do a new search: just keep clicking on new dates on the calendar (e.g., toggle back and forth between March 20 and 21) for the date you want it to start the search, and it automatically updates. Do that for a few minutes and you will see occasional March dates pop up, including this weekend and next week.

After getting burned with the dates disappearing before, I was ready to fill in the stupid "reason" box this time (I'm pretty sure I misspelled "vaccine" in my haste, but it doesn't care what you put in that box) and I clicked through immediately.

Good luck!

So far I got April 2 at Mohegan. Going to see what I can do to improve that.

Looks like that trick works for Hartford Heathcare MyChart too.

For those trying Yale, I am otherwise not a Yale patient so didn't have a MyChart set up with them. I went through the process (including several identity verification questions) and it says it will take up to a week for it set up. Has anyone else tried setting up a new account, does it really take that long to hear back from them?

Got my 2nd Moderns today. Felt great til 3 when a headache crept in. Real bad by 4:30. Home by 6 but fatigued. Now, at 11:30 I'm experiencing chills and worse fatigue.

I just became eligible & was able to book for Tuesday (1st dose). I think it’s the Moderna bc the 2nd shot is 4 weeks afterwards. I jumped on my phone & then my computer at six this morning. I got and promptly lost two appts so I won’t believe I have this until i have a needle in my arm.
Regardless of how I feel afterwards, I intend to milk this for all it’s worth - though we’re doomed, hope there is a good 2nd round match in the Eastern bracket.

Ours is at the Waterbury Health District, around the corner from The Thirsty Goat, apparently.

Waterbury may be the easiest place to get a vaccine in the entire state. This is consistent with people not wanting to go into Waterbury for any reason, even to get a life saving vaccine.

How ya feeling today? Did you have any symptoms after the first one?

Got my first Moderna dose yesterday, and arm's a little sore, but that's it.

 

[August_West]

I’m 53 became eligible yesterday . 1st vax in my arm at 8 am this morning

Text me. I might be able to help.

Thanks. I'm good; getting jabbed tomorrow morning in West Haven.

Don’t think that didn’t cross my mind, but as important as tonight is , I still can’t skip an available shot. Not many things in this world trump Uconn ncaa hoops. But this is one of them.

After first vax my arm was sore only to the touch.

After going to bed last night I was very restless. Got up at 8 to attend a Zoom exam prep class. At start was just a little blah but overall now I feel really good.

To each their own. Best of luck. I’ll never get it - nor will many I know in the scientific and medical communities. It’s bacterial. It’s respiratory/pulmonary. It also promotes thrombi - so take your 81mg to minimize clotting. You know - the plasminogen in the blood. The work of the 7 scientists in Italy was quickly swept under the carpet. Bodies are cremated - nothing can be exhumed. Hmmm... Ah... the truth. Good luck in your pursuit of the vaccine - or the truth. Ah... the perversion of science... followed by mass deception... fear is a very powerful thing on the human condition.

Well you convinced me!

Pretty much everyone saw this coming.

I wish Chick-o-Sticks were the answer.

Update: Legs are a bit weak and back is tight. Not 100%. And appetite is non-existent right now.

6hrs in from getting my 2nd shot ( Pfizer ). So far nothing. I'll post tomorrow and hoping whatever reaction if any is minor. My wife had her 2nd yesterday (Moderna) 28hrs ago and had slight headache this morning that didn't last long and a little achy now, that's it.

How are you feeling today, @Dove ?

I got my first Pfizer shot this morning. Yale West Haven campus is a very nice and easy set up and MyChart automatically schedules your second shot for exactly 21 days (if you get Pfizer) as soon as you get the first shot.

Feeling a little strange. Not quite a headache but a little lightheaded and sore. Otherwise fine.

 

[Dove]

Kev...feeling great!! Just the shoulder is sore to the touch still. I think I'm back, baby!!! I had Moderna and waited 28 days.

@8893

 

[August_West]

I only had sore arm for first 24 hours. Have a bit of headache today , but that could’ve been the 1/2 a handle of dewars I drank to drown out last night’s disaster. Probably more likely.

Got my first and second Pfizer ones there. Second one on Friday.

Very polite and nice staff.

Arm sore a bit for 24 hours, but not too bad otherwise.

I grabbed myself a beautiful cowboy cut ribeye from Shoreline Prime on my way home to throw on the grill tonight, so I hope I keep my appetite and taste buds until after that at least!

First shot yielded no after effects except for sore shoulder to touch.

Enjoy that steak.

Amazing how sore the arm is now. But that’s about it.

Granted I nailed an incredible bottle of Cab with the steak.

And boy did I nail the steak, right in between medium rare and medium, which is my sweet spot. Thanks in large part to @August_West ’s recommendation of the Thermapen several years ago. It totally saved my ass tonight. The pen don’t lie, but when you are cooking multiple items and the outside temperature is cold, recommended cooking times sure do.
