Title: Scheduled for vaccine
Post by: EmperorNorton on March 03, 2021, 10:39:58 AM
Wife and I managed to snag a couple appointments down at AGH-Northside tommorow to get the Covid vaccine. 
Expected things to open up more after J&J announcements and mass event at Heinz field.   Also this morning, my rowing partner got 2 appointments for his wife and him at an AGH drive thru set up in Grove City this afternoon.

My wife and I got our first one on 2/22... can't wait to get the second!  spent hours and hours on the computer with at least 6 or 7 windows open hitting refresh, refresh, refresh, refresh for hours and hours. Worth the effort. lol just glad i we don't live in TX ... what a total cluster that state is.

Got that right.   If a new variant takes off, it will be their fault.

Just got ours scheduled for next week at the Rite Aid in Glenshaw.  Have been trying for weeks to even get on a list.  Ultimately, it took a friend of a friend, with connections, to get an appointment (and we are clearly in group 1a).  The shot will be the first of two, not J&J

Everything went fine.  Went to AGH on Northside. Parked in slot reserved for vaccine folks. Followed the signs,got our shots ten minutes earlier than scheduled.   No side effects todsy apart from slight soreness in shoulder.

Glad you guys are able to get the shot and it seems, no bad side effects.

STaL, blows my mind you haven't been able to get one. Then again, logic and what not have been out the window the past year.

The part of the story I didn't mention is that our company had it's vaccine push in January while I was having my gallbladder out.   It's not like it was never offered to our employees, I was just otherwise occupied at the time.   First dose was literally the day of my surgery.   Go figure.

Bunni and I registered with UPMC and I hope I don't have to wait long or play games.

Even though we both were registered with quite a few health systems/pharmacies, we actually got a our appointment thru AGH due to my wife randomly checking websites during the morning.  I think you are likely to get scheduled sooner if you still hunt for appointments early in the day.  Since we got our shots, we did get a few emails to schedule appointments  from our other registrations but, at that point, we didn't need them.  Good luck!!!

Got our second shots yesterday.  No noticeable side effects apart from (cue some early Devo) an uncontrollable urge to shop on Amazon.  I guess the Pfizer vaccine comes with the Bezos microchip....

I got shot 1 of moderna last Tuesday. Everything was good for 48 hrs, then the bottom fell out. At 2pm that day it was like something hit me and zapped all my energy. Slept it off and have no other side effects since.

We were a bit tired after our first Pfizer shot.  Second dose next week.. Fingers crossed.

Wife, son and I got our second shot last Monday.... next week we can start getting out (still wearing a mask + social distancing)a little bit, it's been over a year. Can't wait!

I still don't understand the whole mask protests... our local smallish hospital, Canonsburg,  has been literally near or at capacity and at times way over capacity for nearly a full year with the virus and ramifications. If that statement is too political, that's on the admin here, it's the law and a fact, it is not an opinion.

Sadly there is no vaccine to prevent stupid.

My wife and I got our second Pfizer shot Tuesday.   She said she seemed tired on Wednesday and napped i the afternoon.  I was generally OK but did wake with a spitting headache at 2AM Thursday morning.  Might have been related to my high-ish blood pressure or could ahve been a side effect of the shot.  Two aspirin and I was fine
