state of the liz: vaccine!

y'all! i got an earlier vaccine!

our Jenn [personal profile] wrenb found appointments at Levi Stadium for us last week, so both of us booked at the same time, carpooled, kept each other's spirits up, and celebrated with a whoosh of relief and also selfies afterwards!

I got my first Pfizer vaccine on April 1. Second dose also on Thursday morning, April 22.

I released the appointment I had with Kaiser on April 15 so someone else can have it, obviously.

symptoms were mild the day of. Had the sore arm but really only for about 24 hours. Had like an hour of elevated temperature around dinnertime, and I didn't sleep on the sore arm. Beyond that, I've been absolutely fine.

i realize this does not rule out what I've heard of as the second shot reaction, and I'm planning to hydrate and have acetaminophen before and after, and stock up on easy to eat food and coconut water...

Best of luck to everyone looking for their vaccine appointments! network with your friends and family, if one of you finds appointments you can help the others in your network to get them too!

lots of love,

Me

p.s. thank FUCK for President Biden, do you realize it's not even been three months yet and he's solving this shit??? OMFG. SPEAKING of Never Again...

I get my first on Thurs, because the Nearby University Health System opened up to 16+ on Tues. Don't know which one it'll be (they've got all three) so I get a surprise!
