Administered vaccine

[nscottie]

My wife and I volunteered at a vaccine center yesterday. It was State Farm Stadium here in Phoenix which is 24/7.

We volunteered for graveyard shift which was 10pm Saturday to 6 am Sunday. Definitely a long night and on your feet the entire 8 hours.

A reservation was required and verified. There were a few that tried to sneak in, but denied. The entire operation was very well organized. As people drove in, their reservation was verified and a code written on their windshield.

They then drove forward to the inoculation area. The code on the windshield was again verified and they were asked a series of questions. At that point, they were vaccinated by either me or another medical person.

After receiving their shot, they drove forward and either my wife or someone else scheduled their second vaccine. They immediately received an email confirmation. They were also monitored for adverse reactions by medical personnel before being released.

Overall, an extremely rewarding opportunity. And rain didn’t help. We were exhausted when we got home, but happy to help.

Sorry this was so long and probably boring. Just wanted to share our experience

Awesome. Thanks for your service. I hope every city as round the clock opportunities for immunization like that soon.

Looking forward to getting the shots over with. Every one I have spoke to that has gotten the vaccine has said 2nd round is a little rougher but not too bad.

Our arms were a little sore this morning. The worst part was my legs and backs sore from standing so long. But we’re oldsters. 🤣

AZ really fucked up the second dose for those who got their shot before Jan 10-15th...tons of folks can't schedule their second dose because of no available slots through the end of February. Sucks.

Yes, I’ve heard that. Poor planning

I feel like BD is one of these types of folks?

I came down with a heckuva rona flu so I'm glad I'm not needing this year's anymore. It needs more guinea pigs anyway

I've got my second dose scheduled on the 5th, but people I work with are freaking out lol. Sounds like the second dose isn't necessary within 3 weeks, but rather the recommendation, but yeah...the State of AZ didn't anticipate this when they opened up 1B, which is pretty stupid.

Purely anecdotal but if you didn't have a reaction to the first shot then you won't really with the second besides muscle soreness. I don't know anyone who didn't at least have a sore shoulder. My Girlfriend and a coworker both had flu-like symptoms the day after the shot.

When are we supposed to get the pots being sold to the public?

I got an email from my provider here in Newport Beach saying that as soon as the county allocates them some vaccine they'll schedule us, hopefully in the next couple of weeks. Beats lining up at Disneyland with the mob. They had an app for scheduling the mass immunization appointments but it kept crashing. Of course it did because anything related to covid has been a cluster, lol.

State of AZ opened up recreational sales to like 80 shops on Friday...I bought my first legal weed on Saturday morning. We got there and had to wait in line for like 40 minutes. It was wild.

I finally made it in. I've never been to one before...treated myself.

Fuck man, my first shot I had a sore arm and nothing else. 2nd shot, chills and shakes from hell, headache, nausea, dizziness, fever, sweats, diffuse aches for about 18 hours. Same with a mix of my staff and partners (although others had nothing).

Moderna vaccine.

About 60% at our place felt a bit rough the next day. I just had a sore arm.

I’m probably just a pussy according to my wife.

It’s amazing how some people have wildly different reactions. Another coworkers just got the second Pfizer and he was out for two days. Worth it though as it at leaves gives us a fighting chance to convince people to allow in person school.

I drive by that place 1x/week and the past few mondays I’ve driven by it looks busy. That is awesome that a lot of people are getting it and it really seems like a well run machine. I’ve spoken to people who have volunteered/vaccinated and I see the trailers that I’m sure are rest spots for volunteers. Thanks for doing that Scottie. AZ seems to have it together. Been going 24/7 for 2 1/2 weeks now
