I’m so excited to get my J & J shot Saturday! I know it’s not as effective as the others, but i am thrilled!
Let's talk vaccines!

Glad to hear so many people receiving their dosages. ^_^
I may have to wait until later on to get my vaccinated, because I heard from my grandma that you need an ID to do so, which I will not be able to obtain until the DMV becomes normal again. So, we will have to see about this.

every so often, I get NSO 🤷
Update: I got the first dose of Moderna on Wednesday! It was so much more painless than I expected at the time (seriously, just a pinch, and that was with my quote "bony arms" LOL) My arm started to hurt around 5 or so hours later. I'm pretty terrified of side effects so I plopped myself in bed and slept a lot. I did end up with a low grade fever - and really the only way I noticed was because I got so tired after being up to water my plants 
Lasted maybe 12 hours.
The arm pain was excruciating yesterday though. I could barely get out of bed because everything just kinda pulled at my arm, and, yeah. That was after ice and moving it a lot on Wednesday. So, if you have bony arms, maybe expect that LOL
Still not looking forward to the second dose next month, but SUPER happy I've got the first!!

You might be able to do it with just something that verifies your address! My state doesn't require it, but I know some states that require IDs also will take anything that shows proof of residency, so like a bill or whatnot! It might be worth checking!

We're getting our first dose today! I'm excited/relieved to be able to get it. My whole house is high risk, including my son and he can't get it, as he's just a baby. My dad on the other hand, has no intention of getting it. He thinks it's all a scam. 
I wish he would get it for my son's sake.

I probably won’t get it just yet.
I’m in the process of trying to get pregnant, and starting fertility treatments. On the cdc page it’s states that there’s limited data on people who are pregnant. It says that they don’t have too much information reguarding long term effects of pregnancy and infants.
How uncertain that statement seems just just doesn’t sit right with me and I don’t want to jeopardize my chances right now.
I have never had the virus. I am practicing safety measures and mostly stay at home ( I also work from home), so I’ll continue my quarantine without the vaccine for now.

Yeah, I talked to my dad about it, he’s going to check and see what we need to do. ^^Update: I got the first dose of Moderna on Wednesday!

I haven't got anything yet, but I will eventually. My mom was pushing for me to get it this week. They had a local thing at the one pharmacy, and it was like "sign up between these dates"...and I just knew it was going to be a cluster-f, so I didn't want to do it yet. Registration was literally supposed to be open for 10 full days, and it was already full in two. So...yeah, that's exactly what I expected. I'd rather wait until there isn't a line of a thousand people.

haven't been vaccinated yet, in my country the vaccines have been only available to people over the age of 60 and for people who work in hospitals and such
most likely, i will probably get the vaccine til late 2021-early 2022

An update since I last posted here- I am currently signed up to get my first dose of the Pfizer vaccine tomorrow afternoon! I usually hate needles but I'm actually not nervous at all to get the shot tomorrow, probably because getting covid is far scarier in my mind since I live with my parents and my mom has a medical condition that puts her more at risk to serious complications if she got covid. im super relieved that my whole family will soon be vaccinated- my sister also got her first dose of Pfizer a few days ago, and my dad got the Moderna one last week.

I plan on getting the vaccine (preferably the Johnson & Johnson or Oxford one), just need to find a time to do it. My wife however is fully vaccinated and didn't have any sort of side effects from the one she took. I also know many other people between family and clients at work that took it without any sort of side effects so I feel confident that it is safe to use at this point.

I had the side effects with Moderna shot 2 (100/101 fever, slight chills, day long headache) and couldn't work. However, it wasn't the worst I've ever felt in my life. I never felt unsure or worried about my choice based on the symptoms. I'd say they were mild because I knew they could happen. No matter what, it's worth it to me!I plan on getting the vaccine (preferably the Johnson & Johnson or Oxford one), just need to find a time to do it.

Glad to hear that you made it through ok! I think it is worth it at this point too, especially if it means us all getting rid of the masks sooner and things returning to normal. Nothing more annoying than having to turn around because you forgot the mask in the car. xD
I am in full support of the vaccine, statistically, it is safer than contracting the virus of course, and is a key step to getting over this particular pandemic. My family members are all getting it including one of my brothers with a rare and serve disability (although he has to get the Pfizer, not the Astrenzenca due to the fact he has had a scary past with respiratory issues). As for myself, I hope to get into the next dose but I am not in the priority range to get it and there are 0 cases here so I am not in a rush either. It would still be nice to get it done sooner rather than later in case we get cases so that I can still visit my family and look after my brother. I also don't believe I am one of the people more likely to experience side effects as a result of getting it (I don't have hayfever or other things to suggest that I have an over-active immune system that would make me experience side-effects from the vaccine) so that is a bonus. Not really afraid of needles or injections either but that is only because I have gotten a lot of them over the last few years.

I know! I did that today. My team at work had a picnic lunch with a few kids that once a special prize from an event and I was so caught up in carrying things back into the building that I walked for about 30 seconds with my mask around my wrist ha
Just to add to what has been said about side effects- you are only likely to experience them if you have an over-active immune system. When you get the virus you are given some of the same properties as the virus itself so that your body can learn how to fight them which means that if you did contract the virus, your body would know what to do and it wouldn't be an issue. Side effects from the vaccine will most likely be experienced if you have an immune system that sends too many white blood cells and goes into over-drive protecting you from the properties- this is not at all an issue if this happens but it just means you might get some headaches, fever, chills etc. So, if you have hayfever or allergies you are likely to experience some side-effects from the vaccine, again not a big deal and doesn't cause any issues (just side-effects) but I guess it's just a bit of info in case anyone else who may be reading is worried.
