Due to my job (I’m currently working in-person with kids), I was able to get both doses of the vaccine already. My first one was in February and my second dose was a week ago.
Even as someone who uses needles on the daily due to my medical condition, I still unfortunately have a needle phobia. However the needle for the vaccine was super thin and I did not even feel it go in! It was a smooth experience for sure. I was miserably sick the day after my second dose, but the symptoms only lasted about 10-12 hours. Good luck to anyone getting it! And thanks for doing your part

I won't be able to get the vaccine until July since my age demographic is the last to be vaccinated in my country Both my parents and all grandparents have been vaccinated already though, my grandma got her second dose yesterday

You gotta know that the sky belongs to no one.
As of 27 hours ago, I am fully vaccinated with Moderna. The second shot took me out today. I got my shot yesterday at 2:45. I was alright until I started feeling feverish around 2 am. From there on, my sleep was terrible. I also had chills. A headache developed after I was awake for a bit. As of now, the headache has gotten a little better but is still present. I couldn't be happier to feel my body responding to it!
Edit: Woke up hours later after going to bed and feeling completely better! Right now I’m at about 40 hours after getting the shot. So, it passes quickly!

both of my parents have gotten their first dose, but i still haven't. i'm really starting to get antsy -- i will take whichever vaccine is offered to me. i'm not sure if we're even allowed to choose which we get, but i'm not picky.

I'm still trying to get someone to explain to me how they're able to get just one microchip per syringe, out of the entire vial. No one claiming we're getting chipped can tell me.

Currently, in California only people aged 50 and up are eligible to book appointments. My job isn’t essential, so I don’t qualify yet. However, I will be eligible to book an appointment starting April 15.
Luckily, I was able to schedule the appointments for my mom today. It was intense though because the availability was filling up fast.

I'm so jealous to see so many people in here getting vaccinated already! I won't be eligible for a long while still and I am a little impatient.
My grandparents have received their first doses of the vaccine but everyone else in my family is still waiting.

So, me and my dad had a talk today during dinner. He said that me, him, and my brother will probably get our first dose in a week or two. :,,,,)
I never in my life thought I would be happy about being stabbed with a needle.pp
At least your grandparents got it, though, so that is a start.

Hang in there. <333 I don't know if you live in the United States, but I heard they should be available for everyone in the US by May 1.

So it isn’t my turn to get vaccinated yet but I got a letter in the mail asking me to participate in a testing study. Basically looking for people who have it with no symptoms.
So decided to sign up for it XD I’ll get the vaccine when it’s my turn

my parents (moderna) and i (pfizer) have gotten our first dose and we're waiting to get our second which is very soon. they met the age requirement and my workplace offered the vaccine on-site to most employees, i think. we had the same symptoms: slight sore arm for 2 days and tired for 1 day (day of). my younger brother has yet to be vaccinated
I got my second dose of Moderna over a week ago. I reacted to it the night of and didn't get any sleep. Glad that's over, and I look forward to in a week or so when it's taken into full effect. Of course, I'll still be extra careful because of being on an immune suppressant.

Just received my second vaccine yesterday (moderna). My left arm feels like it's been kicked by a kangaroo, but I'm feeling okay otherwise. A little groggy, but no headaches or fevers. The injection was nothing so I'm shocked at how painful my arm has been after both vaccines. I really can't even lift it past a certain point 
I've been taking Tylenol like clockwork.
I got a mild fever from my first vaccine and had to miss the first half of my shift the day after. This time around seems better though.
Half of my coworkers are in the process of vaccinating or plan to get vaccinated, while the other half will not be. My sister recently finished chemo, lots of my family and my husband's family are older, and I work with the public and also my coworkers in pretty small quarters. I'm happy I had the chance to vaccinate.

I had my first dose of AstraZeneca in February. I was included with the "at-risk" cohort (group 6 for my fellow Brits), thanks to my great doctor. I did get side effects, including a fever, chills, and very bad pain that night, but the worst of it had passed the following day, so I'm not too worried about the next dose. I'll just curl up in bed and wait it out with Netflix for company.
I think I'm due to have my second dose next month. Bring it on. I've spent the last year stuck in my house, it'll be amazing to go out and see my friends and family again

FINALLY I am able to get a vaccine. I'm going to get the Pfizer one tomorrow afternoon. I've been looking forward to this for quite a while since people in my area are really terrible about wearing masks. I plan to keep wearing a mask post-vaccination but it'd be nice to have more protection.
