@deetoo. Thank you for your concern, but all went well today. My appointment was at 4, got there 10 minutes before, went through 4 name and info checkers, got my shot which stung a bit, but so far I am just a bit tired and my arm isn’t even sore. I got the J&J vaccine. I am happy with how everything was handled and told the people helping how great everything went. There had been complaints about how things went at the beginning of setting up these vaccines, esp. since there were so many shortages of the vaccine. There were 12 tables with nurses giving shots with people scheduled every 15 minutes from 8 am to 8 pm. Now waiting for my husband to get called.
I think you're the first one to get the J and J the I know. Can't wait to hear how you are feeling after a few hours/days. I am not familiar with how people are reaction to this one.
I am really happy for you!!!
@lenor I'm glad to hear yours went well too. I'm getting the same kind in about a week and half. My mother and I are going on the same trip to get ours and they let us choose which one we wanted so we took the one shot one (which is also going to be a drive thru one). I'll admit I'm abit nervous about it but will feel much better that its going to be done. When we trying to get the appointments set up for the shot, we could get the first shot easy but it was really hard in our state to get the 2nd appointment (kept getting messages that there wasn't a supply for the next date) so we went ahead with the one shot one. It feels a bit less scary to know someone else who has gotten that one. Hope your husband gets a call soon.
My mom has had both doses. I pray every day now to receive an invite to be vaccinated, She is 89 and I have not seen her in over a year. Along with visualizing the shot I visualize giving her a big big big hug.
It has been a long time since I hugged my daughter too. Hopeful.
My boss's daughter (21 yrs old) got the J&J in N. Carolina. She felt like she had the flu for about 24 hrs then started feeling better afterwards. She was lucky to get it at her age, because the town /area she was in had extra/surplus at the end of the day and so they gave it to her.
Well, I got the vaccine at 4 pm yesterday, at first, I felt fine. Then about a few hours later I started to get tired. Went to bed by 10 ( normal time is 1am). I awoke at about 1:30 with my muscles and joints aching so bad I could barely move and I was freezing. I had on 2 blankets, a comforter, and flannel sheets and I could not get warm nor could I move. Moving was more painful than just laying there. It lasted until about 6am when I finally felt the cold and soreness subsiding and fell back to sleep. I woke again at 7:30 and got up with a really sore arm and a headache. Took two tylenol, had breakfast and now I feel just fine. The headache and sore arm was gone within 2 hours. But I am really thankful I got the vaccine.
Congrats to all who have already gotten their shot. To those who haven't yet, Randy Rainbow is waiting with you. ❤️
