Wife and I got our second Moderna shots this morning.  So far the only side effect is the urge to purchase large amounts of Microsoft products.

 

perfectly normal, nothing to worry about.

    My parents got their second shots on Friday, and as an added bonus my dad is cancer free.

Pfizer 1 in the arm late this morning. Haven’t noticed any side effects so far. 
 

I got my dose at CVS in Hutto. Asked the guy administering the shots if there are ever leftover doses at the end of the day. He said there are almost always a few, and to just call around 5 or 5:30 if someone is interested in seeing if they have some available. Might be a good option if you’re in the area.

I missed you by a couple of hours.

Good to know about leftovers.

Anyone know how easy it is to change the location for the 2nd shot at CVS. I drove from sw Austin to hutto and would rather not again. I assume it’s the same process as getting the first.

Got Moderna 1 last Saturday - arm was a tiny bit sore but no worse than a flu shot. Go back for 2 on April 17.

Don’t know about rescheduling with CVS. I scheduled my dose 2 for the same place in Hutto at a time that I could just hop over to Louie Mueller in Taylor for lunch after the shot. Looking forward to it!

You will probably stand in a longer line at Mueller’s.

Just got the J&J vaccine and doing my 15 minute wait. I have a bladder like a baby. Should have pissed before this.

In 90 minutes it will be two weeks past my second Moderna shot and I will be indestructible.  I'm expecting I will bulk up and rip through my clothes like the Hulk.

Don’t cancel your existing appointment until you confirm your new appointment. They only schedule a few days out so you won’t know for a while.

You should bubble wrap your cock n' balls to keep them safe.

Got lucky and scored my first Moderna at CVS in Lago Vista this coming Saturday.  Live in South Austin('s Mom), but ain't gonna bitch about the drive.

Where/how did you get the J&J? Thanks!

Where/how did you get the J&J? Thanks!

Through the city of Houston. Had the choice of all three vaccines I believe. When you sign up, they text when spots are available and you make a mad dash to their site and hope to get an appointment.

Good call, but I imagine there's going to be an initial surge that will make getting an appointment a bitch.  But hopefully this means supplies are on their way to catch up with the demand.

I'm supposed to be able to get my second dose this Friday according to the APH card. Hope it happens, because I don't want to have to fight the hoi polloi for it next week.

My wife got Pfizer #2 yesterday, and was all kinds of worked over last night and today.

Then head for Miami anD get in on all the fun ASAP 

I was just able to book my first shot in Marble Falls (BS&W) for Apr 7th. They had several openings available over a few days & alerted a couple friends who were also able to get on the list. It's going to be Mad Max time come next week.

Got Pfizer #2 on Saturday. Had a few drinks that night. Strange, had chills but I wasn't cold. Ran between 99 and 100 temperature, but that was done by Sunday morning. I was really sore on Sunday, entire body. Felt great yesterday.

Wife got Pfizer #2 on Sunday. Very fatigued on later that evening and yesterday, with a bad headache. 

As I said before, my CVS online appointment was fubar'd by confusing me with another asshole with the same name. They had to delete my online profile and manually put me in. You normally pay extra for that in Bullhead City. After I got my first shot confirmed and the 2nd appointment scheduled, I got a text saying my appointments were cancelled. Computer hell... 

Today I went to CVS, explained wtf was going on and to my surprise they immediately knew who I was and wtf was going on. I think the other guy got there first and did the initial ground work. I'm gtg for my 2nd shot on the 31st.

My wife got both shots through APH.  She heard nothing from them until the day before she was due for the second shot.  No way to sign up in the portal.  The day before, she got an email with an appointment time and location for the next day.  The location for the second shot was different, so she had to drive to the Austin ISD PAC rather than the Delco Center for the second shot.  So check the location as well as the time and date if you get an email appointment.

Her onsite experience for the second shot was great.  She took a printout for the second appointment with her, which I think had a QR code they scanned, but there was almost no line and she was back home less than an hour after she left.

here's a tweet from APH with a flowchart telling you what to do based on your online portal status:

 

Second time I’ve seen this posted and it still makes me cringe that they have separate paths for <28 and 28-41 days, but both feed to the exact same thing downstream.  Should just be a section for <42 days on the left, and 42+ on the right.

If my mom's so popular with you posters, why bitch about the drive to her house?

For me the problem is usually parking. Way too many visitors for that street.

Moderna #1 Thursday.  Least painful shot I have ever received.  Arm was very sore the next day for 2 days.

Of course, yesterday we were informed my daughter’s day care class has had an outbreak.  So I guess we will see if the shot worked quickly.  Fml.

Just got Moderna #1 at the Austin VA. They are taking walk ins, all ages if you want to get it knocked out before next week (must be a vet in their system, obviously). 

Shout out to @Kyrie Eleison. They're vaccinating anyone who wants it in the hill country. Called last Thursday and just got that good one hitter quitter J&J 10 minutes ago. I'd say it's about 3X as painful as a flu shot as a comparison, so not really that painful.

Yes sir

Great thanks! Called and got picky-ass wife who only wants J&J on the list. In before "she obv can't be that picky"

Got the 1st shot of Pfizer this morning. I’ve had a dull headache since then and have felt a tad lethargic. I’m afraid the 2nd shot is gonna kick me on my ass for a day or so.

mostly it's the deep ruts...

2nd Moderna today. Once again HEB was super quick with the process.

Have a feeling from now on is going to be a shitshow as far as getting an appointment goes, for those who aren't already started.  Opening up access is great, but the distribution seems to require hiring someone full-time to get an appointment.  Hopefully that changes.

I'm sure others have vented their frustrations with the process in this thread already, but here's been my experience so far as a Cedar Park resident (Wilco)

  • Signed up & got one of the very first batches of free COVID testing in April '20. Never received the results despite numerous attempts to contact them via phone/email (tested neg 2X this past January after attending FIL's funeral in Harper where my wife & I were 2 of 10 people out of 100+ wearing masks)
  • Signed up for the Wilco wait list and got my ID when they announced 1C were eligible. Never received an email for an appointment slot
  • Signed up with APH. "No vaccine is available at this time."
  • Tried the Wilco Health District site which--even though I hadn't had my first--would only give me options to register for a 2nd dose. Said "fuck it, I'll try my luck and try to book a 2nd then explain it when I get there" only to discover that none of the slots that showed as "available" were actually available
  • Called the Wilco Health District Monday morning and after 3 tries actually spoke with a kind lady as I briefly explained my concern (knowing that she's heard this all before). She took my name & info, apologized for the issues (blamed it on their website developer) & promised to call me back. I'm not holding my breath
  • Checked CVS/HEB/BSW, et al every morning around 5AM looking for openings. Today was the first time BSW showed availability so I jumped on it. I have no idea which shot they're giving in Marble Falls but I don't care if I have to make the 2 hour round trip drive twice to get this done

 

2nd and done with Pfizer in Sherman TX.  Realizing that I may never have reason to go to Sherman TX ever again.

Felt a bit loopy three hours after.  Took nap. 8 hours post shot feel fine.

Per my location app, you seem to be dilly dallying at the Starbucks off of 75 and Campbell.  Are you getting any work done?

that sucks to go through all that. i hope it works out.

I'll say it again, anyone and everyone can get a CVS shot in Lubbock.  They STILL continue to always show availability on the CVS website despite every other city in Texas showing fully booked.  I realize no one wants to go to Lubbock, but it's an option.  We happened to be driving back through there seeing the in-laws and decided to just get a shot there.  you can book your 2nd shot back in your 'hood and don't need to go back.

- But keep checking CVS on Wednesdays and Thursdays each week as that's when they normally open up new appts

2nd shot has hit me way harder than first. No energy, body aches, and chills. Arm is more sore this time too.

If you or anyone else is still looking:

1. Make sure you are on UT's list -- anyone eligible can join.

https://uthealthaustin.org/patient-resources/covid-19-updates/covid-19-vaccination

Pfizer quantities are going up next week and UT is a Pfizer site.

2. On Monday and on Thursdays, at 5:45 PM, try to get in line with APH:

https://covid19.austintexas.gov/s/?language=en_US

The big batch of appointments has been going out Monday nights, but there are sometimes extras on Thursday nights.  Make sure you can sign in to your account prior to 5:45.  If you can't, try adding ".aph" to your user name.  For example, joe@gmail.com would be joe@gmail.com.aph.  Don't ask why ... just try it.  At 5:45 you will be placed in an online queue.  At 6pm they will randomly assign you a place in line to get an appointment.  If you are 3000th in line and they have 3001 appointments, you'll get one if you just wait.  People drop out so even if you are 4000th in line for 3000 appointments you have a chance.  "Waiting" means you just have a browser open until it is your turn to pick an appointment.  Check out Austin Public Health on twitter to see when appointments are being released.

Monday night you could have just logged in and gotten an appointment.  For about a hour they had appointments available and an empty waiting room.  They eventually filled the appointments.

3. https://coryellhealth.org is north of Ft Hood, about an hour north of Austin.  They tend to dump all of their appointments for the week at one time.  If you catch them just after the dump, you can get an appointment.
