COVID- 19 VACCINE SHOT
Re: COVID- 19 VACCINE SHOT
My wife and I finally were able to schedule our appointments for shot #1 next week. In Mass. it's like playing the lottery. You get in the cue and are randomly assigned a slot. Last week I got in early and there were 45,000 people ahead of me. Today, I signed in the same way and there were only 9,000 people ahead of me.
Re: COVID- 19 VACCINE SHOT
I received my first dose today at the Campus Center. Not my first choice since I live an hour away, but it was the only one I could get after a full week of relentless searching.
While I had been going to BB games (until DK finally killed any interest I had left) I hadn’t stepped foot in the CC in nearly 40 years. The main level has changed a bit, but downstairs where the vaccine was administered was practically the same as I remembered it.
Long line upstairs and down, but they did a great job.
I picked up a HE championship shirt at the store on the way out. Hoping to score an NC shirt in 3 weeks when I get the second dose. Followed by a slice of this Antonio pizza. The place didn’t exist during my student days although I have driven by it a few times. Guess I’m overdue.

Re: COVID- 19 VACCINE SHOT
I wish my first vaccine shot also came with the opportunity to get a HE Championship shirt (or hat).
Got mine on Monday though. We headed toward heard immunity on the forums yet? Need something like 80% of us to be there.

They don't sell much UMass gear in Luray Virginia, so I only scored my second Pfizer vaccine last Thursday. Started feeling really funky (totally zoned out and a decent headache) about 28 hours later. Basically just slept it off and have not had any issues since. My wife had zero ill effects. Feels good that our chances of getting severely ill from covid are approaching zero.
Re: COVID- 19 VACCINE SHOT
Now, wait two weeks after your last Covid shot and start your shingles injections! Two weeks between on those also. That new vaccine could be as important as the Covid vaccine for some folks. Have you ever seen anyone with it? Yikes!
We just walked in at our local CVS, and they had a supply, which wasn't the case when we tried a few months ago. Our Medicare and/or secondary covered the cost.

Getting my second shot on Friday. My doctor is conservative and said to wait a couple of months before getting the shingles shot.

Re: COVID- 19 VACCINE SHOT
Let me tell you about the problem my wife is still having after getting the shingles shot. She had shingles when we were living in MA about 10 years ago. After we moved here to NC she was advised to get the "new" shingles shot. Bad move. Between the time of the first shot, around Thanksgiving 2 years ago and the second shot she came down with a serious case of the shingles. The doctor said that she had 2 root ends in her head that were affected. She did wind up getting the 2nd shot. Even now over a year and a half she is still experiencing shingle problems. Getting better but still having problems.
I never had any shingle shots and after seeing her problems I will NOT get the shingles shot. Good luck to any of you that do go out and get the shot (S).

Re: COVID- 19 VACCINE SHOT
wife and I each had the shingles shots last year. thankfully no problems. Hope your wife continues to improve.
All due respect, and I mean that from the bottom of my heart, I'm gonna pass.

Shingles, what the hell is that? Can't you just call a roofer?

Re: COVID- 19 VACCINE SHOT
I've had shingles. Very intense pain associated with my case. I still have scarring over 30 years later.
Re: COVID- 19 VACCINE SHOT
Nice to hear that we have so many vigilant alums/posters...
Shingles nothing to make fun of, unless thou art like SM...
We updated our vaccines with Shingrix a couple of years ago...
so, what happened this week is very interesting...
We, SM & Mrs SM, had our 2nd doses of Moderna Tuesday and yesterday, respectively, @ CVS in E Boston...
Being time mgt conscious people, we took advantage of the four vaccine drives to Eastie by getting food to go at various restaurants we enjoy...
1st dose was a great pizza from Regina's in the North End and a turkey tips dinner from the Newbridge Café in Chelsea.
This week, it was Kelly's RB sandwiches at Revere Beach and turkey sandwiches on the way back, from Neillios's in Lexington.
4 excellent choices...
Now...re: vaccines.
No ill effects...just some arm soreness in the area of the shots for 2-3 days...
I did have Mrs. SM verify that we had the Shingrix, especially because I did have chicken pox...so long ago it was 1949-1951 sometime then...to top it off, and I challenge anyone else to match this tie-in to UMass hoops...at the time we were living in a house that Shannon Crooks lived in about 45 years later...
so, after my second shot on Tuesday, I did not wake up with shingles on my body, but I did have mini Tesla solar panels attached to my head...the best part of which is that I no longer will have utility bills for my electric SM personality.
