2nd dose in

My second dose left me feeling miserable from about 6 hrs after till about 30 hrs. Not "down and out" level of miserable but would have much rather not been stuck at work. 
 The good news is that it did clear after that... so a day of being sick was worth it.

Good luck both of you. My mother got her 1st yesterday.

Glad to hear, wish the roll out would speed up.  
Good news is that most folks didn't end up with much more than a sore arm, and even if my reaction was beyond that it still was no big deal in the scheme of things. 

Not feeling too bad, slept through the night, arm hurts a little. ( first shot hurt more). Have a few more body aches than normal

My wife got her second in a hospital in Vt.  Good thing she works across the border.  I applied yesterday, almost had 2/24 in Utica late in the day, which meant a trip to the river. I got cut off though,  and never got the ticket. I tried again and again, finally got a ticket to Potsdam on 3/30. 400 mile RT twice . Nearly not worth it.  Only reason for me to do it is to feel a little less selfish when I travel. Getting Covid and dying is not much different than my daily life. The roll out is insane. I can understand waiting and some lines, but a lot of the people I know are driving  hundreds of miles to get their vaccinations. Really strange. None are available in my area for this round. NONE.  I was initially supposed to get it through my dialysis center, but apparently they were denied, even though renal failure is number two on the list. I'm number one and two on the list of co-morbidities. Don't want a place that's filled with qualified people in an aseptic environment giving vaccines, now would we?  Much better to have volunteers in a college gym.  I understand we have a large population, but we also  have a gigantic bureaucracy to deal with it.  Vermont is 1,000%  more organized than NY.  I pity the older folks that aren't internet and e-mail savvy. Either you have a printer or a smartphone  to get the vaccine. Otherwise?  There's a phone number, but from what I hear, you can call for days without  getting through.  If you live in NY and suspect you have a  neighbor that might fall in this black hole,  you might want to offer some help. I have some neighbors that are barely literate, but great mechanics. I helped them, as they are decidedly not good with the internet. The VA is going to take care of them, in the end.  We also are helping another very bright  but older friend, too. He hates the internet, but has read thousands of books. What a loser.  Not. What a screwy time. Stay safe. 
 
 HT, have you heard bad reactions to the Moderna? I have.  My wife got the Pfizer and had  zero reaction to it. Her co-worker chose to wait and got the Moderna which made her pretty sick.  I've heard others with reactions to it, also. As far as I can tell, you have zero choice when you make an appointment. Roll of the dice with house odds, I guess.
 

I know of many personally that have had bad reactions to moderna, my son included.
My sister's healthcare program is setting their clients up for their vaccinations but I'm not sure which type, when or where. We are trying to get her into the Pfizer location at suny in Albany as yes, it's volunteers but well run by the national guard.
No way are we going to " chase " the drug driving all across the state or lines. We will keep doing what we've been for the past 11 months and wait.

Good luck.

What I mean is people are driving all over the place to get a vaccine. You have to go back to original site for second dose. It's not something we are going to do. Vermont is close to you so I can understand. I don't understand though why states allow out of state to get in line before in state. As what's happening in NY as well.
Also my wife ,mother in law and 2 friends went to SUNY Albany and said they were set up top notch.
Hopefully our nitwits in charge will stop playing politics and do things that should be done correctly.
Maybe with pharmacies now, it will be more available as long as above sentence prevails.
Good luck in finding a place.
No sarcasm intended

Good luck and willing.
What happens here is say we get 10 k doses in our region per say. 50% of those are set aside for the privileged., per say. 25 %of those are utilized. The other 50% goes into the mass " chase race " . About 8 % go to out of state that get an appointment made on the internet. Pretty much leaves the average joe dirt, a 1% chance at this point.
No matter, we've been doing things just fine. At this point, hopefully the masses get their dose

Average joe dirt people were getting vaccinated if you had the right connections or met a meaningless criteria. This I know for fact. It's tightened up considerably now that the mass people in need has been allowed out of the gate per our state leader who let the joe dirts in politically but now crying vaccine poverty but keeps opening new mass sites without the goods to support. Sad , sad stuff.

Enjoy the trip. You'll probably find that the precautions are nowhere near out there as they are here.
Most I know in the south and west think we are crazy for the things we're doing.
As always live life like there's no tomorrow because tomorrow never knows.

New Mexico is currently enforcing  a $ 100 fine for mask non-compliance,  Az. has mask requirements but it varies by county. Maricopa, which includes Phoenix, is the strictest. My nephew's wife came within a hair's breadth of dying from Covid  in November. She works in a nursing home there. She told me it's no different than what precautions we take, except for a few cowboys.  I spoke with a friend who lives on the San Juan this morning and he told me guides and clients are wearing masks.  Not everyone is interested in killing family and neighbors by accident  or feels it's an infringement to wear a mask and follow common sense protocols.  Even Mardi Gras was socially distanced and my wife's best friend who lives in Nawlins said it was sad, but fairly  safe. I am not a libertarian, by any means, so I may be biased, but I  wouldn't travel if I thought there were looser standards at my destination.  Even an electrical engineer I know who has offices in Troy and Phoenix and  is  pretty radical is wearing a mask in stores, both here and there.  I plan as little contact as possible, but it is good to know that people are trying.

That's not the information I'm getting from snowbirds I know that traveled to AZ via their motorhome passing through to the west since November. I also have friends in FL that keep trying to get me there because live music, bars and non social distance is happening.
Its very rare to see people adhering to the standards of the east coast is what I've been told. Safe travels.

Gerry, it's the second dose of modena that is given issues.

I'm going by the official site and actually having filled out the application, chosen from the sites offered me , not by speculation.  I was offered Plattsburgh, Utica, and  Potsdam. Utica and Plattsburgh disappeared almost immediately. All other sites were closed.  People in my town that got to apply earlier went to Glens Falls,  Fort Edward, and Utica. I have zero doubt there were those driving north to get vaccinated in the mid Hudson and Capital region. F........  thieving travesty.  Your sister is worth far more as a human being than some  slimy investment banker in his Porsche Cayenne heading to the chalet or  ranchette.  
I met your shark fishing buddy, I have no doubt a party is going on. Not for me, though . I am doing web music and did a  Zoom acoustic blues concert.  
 
 
 

Gotta look around and be your own best advocate for the shots-
seems every place giving them is allotted a certain amount of doses and makes reservations accordingly.
 
A week ago I called the local health dept for a shot reservation- they said 2 to 3  months wait and would call back much later with a reservation.
Not wanting all my eggs in one basket I also called the State number- they called back a week later and said to call the local Health dept.
OK figured that was that-- 2 or 3 months at best.
 
Few days later my wonderful Wifey called a Hospital and got me a shot for this Sunday---they had multiple open reservation dates.
 
Seems they all get separate allocations and if ya shop around ya just might hit a place with openings.
 
Steel may well be back on the horizon---

I really dont care if I catch one or not- just want to go up there and fish and relax after a year of  living like a scared hermit and then gettin blasted anyhooo with something getting real scarey septic outa the blue.
Thanks to several doctors thats over- I hope.
Think I will go old school and stick with the light spinner and blue sacs this time - but the 5 wt will be available too.
Might want to keep it real simple and that spin outfit has lots of luck attached to it and its easy to use.

Surprisingly -after all the co-morbidity hype- no place I contacted gave a rats butt about the heightened morbidity issues.
They just  lumped all together based on age.
I was a bit surprised at that and had brought it up to all contacted.

registration for 65  just started here last week.
Many places not giving shots for this group till this week.
Over 75 and front liners was before this.
 
Think that after the over 65 grouping it may get crazy with the rest of the population being pretty much in line= hope they get a big increase of doses for them.
Infection rates are already dropping and will likely decrease dramatically with the more vulnerable groups being inoculated.
 
Hope thats the case so Canada will open up- have a Canadian Rockies trip planned late Summer.
