The right one to get is the first one that is available to you. My son will get the Pfizer as the other two have not been approved for his age bracket. My wife had that one and I had the Moderna, both of us with minimal side effects.

A bunch of my friends in their 30's are all getting signed up. Which is great.

I have a friend who got knocked for loop by the second dose of Pfizer, still wiped out two days later. But he had had a previous COVID infection and that's been linked to more severe side effects.

What kind of a 16th birthday present is that?!?
Congratulations son, you're now 16 which means I'm going to have someone stab you in the arm.

Geez, some pop you are. Whatever happened to the time honored tradition of getting him a hooker?
Well, which shot did SHE get?

Just got my text for Moderna RIGHT NOW! I get it on April 1st. I hope it's not a joke.

I received my second dose of Pfizer less than an hour ago.

My second dose of Pfizer is scheduled for 16 days from now ... so someone help me keep track as to whether Grimm suddenly stops posting.

The Pfizer vaccine will soon be approved for kids age 12 and up, which is great for our family as all four of us could potentially be vaccinated by September.

says they've already started 5+ trials, which is great, and will start even younger than that. First time I actually have hope that we'll get to a point where crowded indoor dining with families isn't dangerous.

Well, depending on the family. But at least it won't be dangerous from coronavirus.

Got a text from CVS that shots are available in my area. That is, if I want to drive
to freakin' Binghamton. Has Rumble Pony season started?

Anyway, I'm in the system for a callback.

I signed up with Walgreens maybe siz weeks ago and have yet to hear back.
I wound up getting it from another pharmacy but of course they don't know that.
Good thing I wasn't dependent on them alone.

The other thing is, Walgreen's made me sign up for an account with them before they'd even accept me on their waiting list
So I've gotten plenty of notices from Walgreens but nothing concerning the reason I signed up in the first place.
I sense a bait-and-switch scam going on here.

I received shot #2 last Thursday with no worse aftereffects than from the first one. Slightly aching muscle and within two days, that was done. Still wearing masks as SOP.

My 16 year old son will get Pfizer shot #1 on Friday. They had appointments as early as today but he's got volleyball games/practices all week. Hundreds of appointments for New Yorkers right down the street. Which is nice if you live in NY of course.

My son-in-law and my 16 year old grandson finally found scheduled times for their first shots- in three weeks - at Mohegan Sun Casino.
Yale-New Haven Medical Center has opened several vaccination locations across Connecticut and that is one of them.

Later

It's part of their 'Shots and Slots' promotion campaign.
Get a shot, then take a shot.
