[KaiserUEO]

FYI

Starting this Friday, if you are 60 years old or older, you can go to the State Fair for a vaccination without an appointment. Just bring ID.

AN ID???!!!

the audacity...

Just tell them who the Yankees manager was the first time you saw them win the World Series.

If you answer Ralph Houk, you get a shot.

If you answer Billy Martin, you're not tall enough to ride.

Anyone know what happens if you get the first shot and then cannot get the second? I would assume at some point down the line, have to redo the process. I know someone who got the first, but now has covid (mild symptoms). Wondering what the protocol is. I’m sure it’s happened for many others as statistically it makes sense.

2nd Pfizer shot in yesterday afternoon. Slept well, feel fine outside of the sore arm.

Took a few days off from work. Thinking Road House may be on the docket for first movie of the day followed by Point Break.

Also, go Knicks!

To make it a trilogy of Swayze awesomeness got with "Next of Kin"

Besides the sore arm had zero side effects. The one time I tried something that was allegedly ecstasy in college I also felt nothing. I hope it wasn't a placebo vax left over from the trails.

When I was waiting in line for my second shot, I overheard part of a conversation regarding your question. The people administering the shots said that they prefer the individual to get the second shot even if there is a greater gap from the first shot than preferred. I do not believe that they have to start the process over.

Glad I got my vax before that requirement. Joe Torre as my answer gets me 86'ed.

Nah. He answered "Boone".

Pretty sure this is how the zombie apocalypse begins.

At least we'll have lots of warning as they make their way down from i80 to i90. Google maps makes it a 13 day walk. If you account for not sleeping and a purposeless shamble...

And time for "snacks" along the way.

Can't even trade the vaccine for a pack of smokes.

Just had my second shot at the fairgrounds, the first shot I had a numb forearm after some time passed, this time it came almost immediately. Had some breathing issues after a week, have a feeling I’ll be having some side effects this time too since the arm thing came so quickly.

It looks as though (anecdotally, at least) that the majority of the population have what could be described as mild flu symptoms, or less. But also that there is a wide variety of other, not so pleasant, symptoms that crop up occasionally.

I got my 2nd Pfizer shot on Tuesday. Yesterday I felt really drowsy and had flu-like symptoms. Today I’m ok and ready to party.

i think science says you have like 6 weeks to get the 2nd dose or you have to restart the process

 

[upperdeck]

i have read some stories that they think 2-3 months is fine too.. but they did so few tests for it they really dont know.. it could be that 75% of people it doesnt matter or it could be 10%.

I think the UK is moving forward assuming that a second jab 3 months after the first will be effective.

Had second dose of Pfizer yesterday. Arm was a little sore, zero symptoms of any kind today.

Update: yesterday was the day after my second dose. Slept fine the night of the shot, had no side effects the day of the shot / most of the day yesterday.

Around 8pm last night, I got really fatigued -- no chills, body aches, sickness -- just felt unnaturally weary / exhausted [very atypical for me]. Went to bed early, woke up fine today.

If that was all I had to deal with, small price to pay.

sounds similar to me

This is correct. The vast majority of people I work with are in London and they have their 2nd shots scheduled 12 weeks after the 1st.

Sadly I think the supply of shots will be higher than the demand here shortly. Not sure why, but it appears that alot of Americans do not want or trust the vaccination.

Anybody know where the swinger parties for fully vaxxed folks are?

Don't tell Marek
