I'm so glad you got it and that your side effects were minimal, Kim. I always get a fever and myalgias with every vaccine I get, so I usually take some Tylenol or ibuprofen right after I get the shot, and it seems to decrease the severity and duration of those things. I hope you feel fit as a fiddle today!I didn't know that LOL, but that's the one I got. I kept asking everybody that got one before me which vaccine they were giving, and nobody knew lol. Seriously, with all the press, you do not know which one you got?? So I asked when I got up there.
It was more organized than I thought. But I had to show my driver's license 3 times to 3 different people including a security guard to get in, and also get my hospital ID zapped. And this was in a small conference room, so there was no chance of people sneaking in or swapping out, so I don't know what that was all about. One of the ID takers had a program/app on her computer that she had to fill in some information and barcode and zap your DL I think time of day and such. She didn't seem to need to put much effort into it. Also had to wait around for 20 minutes to make sure you didn't have a reaction. There was a pharmacist there keeping track of time on your watch time. I don't think it had anything to do with her being a pharmacist other than somebody with a degree willing to keep the time LOL.
It was all super-official looking and time-consuming. I half expected some MIB guys to show up LOL.
