Any after effects for you? Yet? My second dose of Moderna is still three weeks in the interminable future. | |||

While waiting at the drug store for my MIL I heard the check in lady telling walk in (no appointment) customers to come back at 5:45 PM because they give their last shot at 6 PM and they usually have doses left over. Might be worth a shot (if you will.)

I got slightly light-headed almost right away after the first shot; that lasted maybe 15 minutes. Otherwise I really didn't notice much except for a slightly sore arm for a day. I told the nurse today about the lightheadedness after the first shot, but I didn't have a repeat. I usually walk a couple of miles a day, but today I'm just thinking I'll skip the walk. Figure I'll save the energy for my immune system....It's been about four hours since the second shot and Mr wtg and I are both feeling a bit tired, but nothing dramatic. Yet.

So... I thought I had my first reserved online in the rush as doses became available at Walgreens... The site was slow and froze a few times as I had to start over a few times with different locations. But my final try said, "you already have an appointment", so I thought I might have gotten lucky. No such luck. MrsTuner was getting her second shot, so I talked with the pharmacy assistant (who has been very helpful) and told me it is better to call Walgreens now - there is a prompt right away for vaccines - #1,#1,#2 follow the directions. Still means you have to call into every possible Walgreens, but she thinks it gives a better chance than going through the online portal. Some Walgreens schedule every day, some every third day... Good luck! (I'd really just like to find the J&J and get it done... She told me they don't even know what they are giving until it arrives that day.)

ron, have you tried Cook County for the Des Plaines site? They're doing J&J. My neighbor went there at 4:45 and lucked out; they had ten extra doses to give out. He is not tech savvy and couldn't figure out how to do an online appt, and phone calls to make an appt were useless. One and done.

I might give that a try - I could register, but then there wasn't a way to sign up for a time through the Cook County site. Apparently they will contact me...

Oh, and if you are going to try calling Walgreens, 8am was the suggested time... You have to already be a Walgreens member, so take care of that first - once you get deep into the menus they will ask for your birthdate and if the phone you are using is linked to the account to verify.

Was looking up some info and it seems that Des Plaines is doing Pfizer now, so it would be two trips. They do make the appointment for the second shot at the time you receive the first one and you don't have to go through the online registration for the second one....
https://www.nbcchicago.com/new...ents-friday/2460419/ If I hear anything on the news about more appts opening up, I'll let you know. Looks like it usually happens some time on Friday. Here's NBC's "how to make an appt guide": https://www.nbcchicago.com/new...ago-suburbs/2458611/

I should try to find out about this. Although he is adamant not to get it until it's his turn.... (As I wrote to a FB friend, he's even more of a goody two shoes than I am!)

I don't think of going to a pharmacy to ask if there are extra doses as cutting into the line. People don't show up for appointments and the provider is left with doses that will be discarded if they are not used. If Mr SK has the time to burn to go to Walgreens (or wherever) at the end of the day to check, then I think he can get his shot guilt-free if they have one available. IMHO.

Yesterday's fatigue passed within a few hours. Good night's sleep, slightly sore arm where the shot was administered.
