Got my first Pfizer jab today at the Niagara Falls convention center. It wasn't crowded and could not have gone more smoothly. My appointment was for 12:00 noon. A National Guard guy pointed me to the door. I walked in at 11:48 and a staff guy checked my temperature at the door with a digital thermometer to the temple. He asked me to answer a couple questions about whether or not I had any symptoms, shortness of breath, coughing, etc. Nope. The guy then directed me to a table where a lady at a laptop checked me in with my driver’s license. I wasn't asked to show anything else. She then directed me to a line that had 2 people ahead of me. As soon as I stepped into the line, the 2 people ahead of me were directed to tables for their vaccines. I waited another minute and was called. I sat down and the medical guy asked me a few questions – any history of allergic reaction to vaccines, etc. Nope. He told me to roll up my sleeve and swabbed my shoulder with alcohol. I didn’t feel the needle. It just felt like he pressed his thumb to my shoulder. Time of vaccination was 11:54. I was then directed to a waiting area and sat there for 15 minutes. Walked out at 12:09.

I’ll get the next dose on April 27th. So far after 7 hours I’m not even feeling any soreness in my shoulder.

Hope everyone still waiting has a chance to get theirs soon.

Congratulations on getting your 1st dose. I found that rotating my shoulder in a circular motion forward and backward every hour helped with the soreness. The morning after my shot, I was working out again.

Thanks. It was a relief to at least get the first one.

I hear you. We're getting our 2nd does 4/29, takes 2 weeks to fully build up the antibodies, then we're looking forward to visiting indoors with elderly family members again.

Sounds like you got the Moderna one? As I recall that was a bit longer between doses than Pfizer, which is 3 weeks. And yeah, it will be nice to be around friends and family when the antibodies kick in. Well, most of them anyway.

No, we got the Pfizer on 4/1 and were told the 2nd dose would be 4/29, 28 days later. On the CDC website they say the Pfizer needs to be inside a window of 21 to 42 day days max. We wish our pharmacy had gone with 21 days, we'd love to get this over with.

I joked on twitter that 19 is usually too old for the Nuge.

Second dose of Moderna was yesterday, and today I feel (in the words of the late Lewis Grizzard) worse than a five-eyed goat in a sandstorm. Whew. Dolly is kicking my ass.

Yeah, you're experience is common and so will be your turnaround.
