mdlbear: biohazard symbol, black on yellow (biohazard)

(I should get a coronavirus icon, shouldn't I?)

So yesterday evening I got my first dose of COVID-19 vaccine. I'd signed up with WhidbeyHealth, who said they were using Pfizer, but when I got there I found that they were saving the Pfizer, which they were short on, for people getting second doses, and giving Moderna to people in for their first dose. *shrug*

They're using the same tiny needles they use for flu vaccine, so I could barely feel it. So far I have had no side-effect symptoms, not even a sore arm. Of course it's been only 14 hours, and in any case it's the second dose that they say has more severe side-effects. I'm not worried.

I rescheduled my second dose during the 15-minute waiting period, so I'll be getting that on February 17th. (The window is 28±4 days; the 17th is the short end of that.)

Colleen's shot had been scheduled for last Friday, but they ran out and cancelled everything through Saturday. So we're waiting to hear from them for a reschedule. (For all I know they might have called; Colleen's email and phone messages are a nightmare.)
