One shot down, one to go!

[oyceter]

I got my first vaccine shot last Friday! It was the Pfizer one, and I am scheduled to get the second shot in four weeks. And two weeks after that, I think I will get a haircut, a massage, and a pedicure.

I only had some soreness in my upper arm, but I have heard from several coworkers that the second shot is when the side effects usually kick in.

I am not quite thinking of it too often, but even having the one shot has made me feel so much better in the back of my head. It makes regular life seem that much closer, and it's so wonderfully weird to hope that if Biden is right about the vaccine schedule/production, CB may also be vaccinated in a few months, and we may be able to watch In the Heights in an actual movie theater! I keep tearing up every so often thinking that seeing people or going to things is possibly maybe within reach.

Congratulations!

I am glad the future feels closer and safer.

That is great! How did you get it (if you don't mind my asking)? Were you on a no-waste list?

[rachelmanija]

Congratulations! I can't wait till we're all able to go out and do stuff. I also plan to get a haircut when I get the shot. (Maybe in May, according to Biden!)

Yay!

[thistleingrey]

Yay, vaccine!

[shadowkat]

Yay! Congrats!

I got the Pfizer too - second dose next week. But I'm waiting 28-30 days before I get the haircut, massage, manicure and pedicure. (They say you should wait 28-30 days for full effectiveness.)

My hope is I can travel and visit my family by July.
