Anyone living in central Illinois that doesn't mind driving to Havana (Illinois) can sign up for the first Moderna shot this coming Monday. I signed up and got confirmation.

I got my first jab of the pfizer vax last night. Woot! Overnight I felt as you do when you're first feeling signs of a flu bug coming on. But this morning I don't feel too bad. Mild headache and my shoulder hurts, but it's not unbearable at all.

I didn’t have any noticeable reaction to the first shot. I had the symptoms you’re describing over the weekend after getting the second shot on Friday. Fully vaccinated!!

I got Johnson and Johnson yesterday. So one shot and done. I feel like poop today but it's worth it to know I'm protected.

I got the 2nd dose of the Moderna one a week ago. So I'm set now. Some people felt like crap after the 2nd dose, but I actually felt worse after the first dose than the 2nd one.

Just got my first dose. Didn’t even know I was eligible until about an hour ago. But a coworker said engineers qualified now and there was a place doing mass vaccines. So we went. To be honest I think they’d give it to anyone that showed up. Not that I know who qualifies, but almost everyone here is under 50. So there’s that.

Yeah, the hard part (here in MO for sure, anyway) is finding an appointment or a mass vax event. Once you can find a spot to go, the people doing the actual shot don't seem to care. I got mine through Mercy's website here in STL. I hit it right at the right time and found appointment slots open. I picked a time/day, it asked me what tier I was in, name, address, phone, etc. I filled everything in truthfully (essential worker, immune-suppressed, hypertension, almost 40% BMI). It confirmed my appointment. On the day of the shot, the workers checked my ID against the info I had registered with, glanced and my insurance card, and then gave me my shot and my appointment time to return for the second dose.

It's all honor system.

I haven’t felt bad at all but I have taken 9 solid [expletive]. No stomach aches. Nothing. Just a constant need to [expletive].

I'm not eligible yet in IL, due to age and health. But I am on 2 different notification lists, so maybe I'll get the first dose by the end of... April? May?
