They poked my arm. It didn't bleed this time, which is a plus.

    Was supposed to get mine today but they fucked up and overbooked, apparently they were sent fewer vaccines but still allowed more appointments, much like an airline

    Cool guys, not like we're still in a pandemic or anything

      Mine was scheduled today but got canceled for no specified reason. The only accessible cvs doesn't even appear as an option on their site throughout the next month.

    Getting mine today.

    I just hope all the times I've gotten covid haven't irreversibly destroyed my brain.

      I'm almost certain I had it back in February 2020. I was in bed for a whole week and could barely breathe. I for sure had it in 2022. Was happy to make it 2 years.

      Hoping your brain is at least okay enough though!

      Oh hell yeah. I've now got the shakes and my 5G reception is out of this world!

      I'm feeling perfectly fine. No issues aside from the localized arm pain. I usually don't see side effects from vaccine injections until the next day, so I might feel a bit different tomorrow morning. I can't imagine it would be anywhere near as bad as I felt when I actually had COVID though.

        Yep the shot itself didn't hurt me at all. There was some soreness on my arm the next day, but now, 2 days later, that soreness is gone

          In the last 2 hours the soreness has gotten measurably worse. Not anything more than I had expected though.

    I need to do this ASAP but I can't figure out if the pharmacies here have it yet and the information from the state doesn't do a lot to clear it up either

      The only pharmacies that have it so far in my state are CVS and Walgreens (the biggest pharmacies received the vaccine first).

      https://cvs.com/vaccine/intake/store/schedule-options

      https://walgreens.com/findcare/schedule-vaccine

      CVS has been booked up, but Walgreens had lots of openings when I scheduled mine

        Yep, I scheduled through my local Walgreens online.
