Okay, so my dad and my brother got their first dose last Friday, but I am gonna have to wait to get mine since I don't have an ID. The good news is, my mom over in Orange Grove has one of my school IDs, and I did hear that should be accepted.
 
I got my first Pfizer shot! I hardly felt a thing and the nurse who gave it to me as super sweet. I'm expecting minor arm pain as that's what usually happens to me after any vaccine 1-3 days later but right now I feel fine! My second dose is in September.
 
Updated my vote from “first dose” to “fully vaccinated”. I ended up having to reschedule my second dose because the original appointment was the Saturday before finals week and I couldn’t afford to be sick or sluggish. I got it a couple weeks after I got out of college for the summer, and suffered no side effects at all besides soreness in my arm. It feels good to be protected against such a scary illness. I think the vaccine really boosted my immune system overall, because I got my first cold in over a year about a week ago and was over it in about three days.
 
i havent got it yet, they arent even offering it to me yet because im too young but my dad has a bunch of conspiracies' as to why i shouldnt get it lol bahah
 
just came back to change my vote from not yet to got my first dose! wasn't expecting to be eligible until the end of the month but luckily the town next to mine was offering walk ins to anyone over 18 so within ~30 minutes of finding this out i was vaccinated! hoping i don't get any awful side effects aside from arm pain since i'm working all day tomorrow lol
 
I have been fully vaccinated since May 13th. Got the Pfizer vaccine at local Health Dept. With my first dose in April all I experienced was a very sore injection site. I actually bruised. My second dose was uneventful. I ran a slight fever and felt a bit unwell the next day but nothing serious. Well worth it. Grandma is fully vaccinated now as well. No reactions. Health Department nurse actually came to the house to give it to her.

My state is running a big (perhaps infamous?) lottery to encourage higher vaccine compliance but it's slacking off now. Not like I'll win but still. I got vaccinated to protect others, not for any reward. Got my second dose the day after they announced it.
 
I'm hopeful that I'll get an appointment for my first dose by the end of next week! I'm nervous about getting it because I'm quite scared of needles, and I'm a bit worried about some of the side effects that might come after, but I know that those are only short-term negatives in comparison with the long-term positive effect that getting the vaccine will have!

Just got mine! Changed my vote immediately 6:
 
I got my 2nd dose of Pfizer on Saturday around 3pm. I did okay that night, but in the middle of the night I started to get a low grade fever and by the morning I was at 100.00. The worst of it was probably around 11ish am on Sunday. I had the fever and got really bad chills and had stomach issues on top of it. My arm was also pretty sore, I think more than last time but can’t remember.
This morning I still had a little bit of a fever still so decided to stay home from work. Fever seems mostly gone now and same with the arm pain.
 
I've been fully vaccinated, and aside from bragging rights, the best part of all is that the mask policy at my work office has been updated so that vaccinated people don't need to wear a mask. After having to wear a mask in the office for over a year, it feels great to finally be free of it.
 
Time to update my vote!

had my first Pfizer dose today and everything went well - the nurse who gave me my vaccine was sooo sweet and after I’d explained to him my fear of needles he replied “that’s because you’ve never had one from me” .. my heart🥺
No side effects apart from a slightly sore arm. I was at work for 2 1/2 hours after my jab and used my arm quite a lot so think that’s possibly why? My bf on the other hand (who had his appt 5 mins after me haha) has a really sore arm.
not sure when we’ll get our second dose as we’re moving to England next week so will have to transfer everything over.

I had Pfizer too. The first dose left me with a sore arm for a couple days, which I can explain as being very similar to training your arms in the gym for the first time (or first time in a long time)(DOMS), and left me feeling more sleepy in the evenings.

After the second dose, the soreness in the arm was very small, and not a problem, no other side effects. Hope everything works out for you

YES! DOMS is a perfect description of it haha, I actually enjoy the pain a little for that reason 🤣
 
I've got my second shot last friday and man, I felt like poop the next day, which was sadly a day were we went to the sea with the mother and her husband of my fiancé. I still managed to enjoy it, but I did feel a lot worse than when I got my first shot, that's for sure.. but I also expected it. Can't complain too much though, as it was pretty much completely gone the next day!
 
I'm getting my first dose this coming Sunday! I'm not looking forward to the Hunger Games part 2 when I'm eligible to book my second dose appointment, but that's a later me problem. 🙃 I'm also hoping that my parents will be more motivated to get vaccinated themselves sooner rather than later after seeing me get the jab. *knocks on wood*
 
My mom and aunt finally got their first dose of Pfizer. They were hesitant and held off getting it for a while because they had some concerns about the side effects, but I'm so glad they finally decided to go through with it. They'll get their second dose by the end of this month and then be fully vaccinated in time for their trip to Maine.
