Got my first dose (Moderna) on Tuesday morning. My arm was sore as hell for a couple of days and I was definitely fatigued Tuesday and Wednesday, but no big deal in relation to the relief I felt. Thursday I felt good enough to drive the 90+ minutes to a range I recently joined. Broke in a new .308, my first time shooting anything more powerful than a 9mm carbine, and my first time shooting at 100 yards. Loved it.

Definitely looking forward to being able to hug my kids!

My wife and I are going for our second Moderna shots on the 19th, six more days! I don’t know how people are managing, this vaccination process has been a really bad example of our ability to deal with a medical crisis.

Congrats! on both the first shot and the .308!
I had an immediate reaction the 1st Moderna, my Right hand itching, light-headed and a bit nauseated. Shot was in the left arm. The MD who examined me said it was because I hadn't eaten and wasn't hydrated and it was a typical reaction therefore. He said for the 2nd I should be well-fed and well-hydrated and to take a Benedryl 5-10 minutes before the 2nd shot. After that, I was pretty much ok for 24 hours, then had aches, headache, and finally a migraine. By the next morning I was fine. Tomorrow is 4 weeks since the 2nd shot.

What .308 did you get? The first one I shot was a DPMS AR-10 and I was stunned by how easy it was to shoot. Ended up with a Windham AR-10 with wood furniture. Awesome rifle!

I got a flier for CDC's V-Safe tracker when I got my 1st dose and I signed up. I get a weekly text message from them asking about my symptoms. It's been about 4 weeks since my 2nd dose and I still get a weekly text from them asking how I'm feeling. The only symptom I have at this time is still a little redness around the injection site. If you did or didn't get a flier you can still sign up, I figure it's helping in the development of better vaccines.

I signed up for that too. What a nice service and simple way to add to the knowledge base as well. They check in every day for the first week, then weekly for I think six weeks. If your answers cause concern they may follow up with a phone call.

Thank you! And congratulations on getting the full vaccination regime. I'll hopefully be in the same place by mid April.

I got a Christensen Arms MPR with 20" carbon fiber barrel. Wearing a Meopta Optika6 3-18x50, it weighs in at around 8.5lbs (according to my rough and probably inaccurate bathroom scale).

Did you enroll through the state's partnership with Optum? I looked into them, but I already had my first dose and they only accept those who need both doses as they book both appmts. at the same time.

I got the added documentation too from the county with vaccine specific information, may e-mail it to the physician I use as a primary for my medical records.

Me, too on V-Safe. Glad I didn't sign up at 12 midnight as it seems follow up is based on when you registered - or it has been with me since 1st shot last Wed. - same time every time around 5 PM + or - a few.

Easy to register and simple to complete the daily or weekly questionnaire. In our case, if it helps CDC and Pfizer get a better picture of the vaccine's side effects.

Wow! That is a SERIOUS sniper/hunting rifle! (that's your next b'day and xmas present for a couple of years! :laugh: ) Congrats!
While my AR-10 is called a "Hunter" I figure it's about the most versatile rifle because you CAN legally hunt with it (tho I don't) yet it does everything an AR-15 does, too.
Different priorities.

I went through the "my turn" website. Small population up here, so it's smooth for us.

I posted this awhile ago on the other thread. It's from University of Michigan Health, a UM immunologist explains what's happening in your body after the first and second doses.
https://healthblog.uofmhealth.org/welln ... 19-vaccine

I got the Pfizer vaccine and after the second dose again pain at the injection site along with redness and that was it. The pain went away after a few days but slight redness persists at the injection site even now and my second dose was about 4 weeks ago. Not everyone reacts the same.

Nope. But if you do get a reaction it's likely after 24 hours, and a day after that you're fine.

Got my first vax a week ago - March 7. Pfizer. No side effects unless you count a little soreness when moving my arm the first couple days (negligible). I'm scheduled for my second shot on March 29. The day after will be my birthday, so if I have to take a day off, no worries. Really looking forward to mid-April - already scheduled a teeth cleaning at the dentist, and a haircut!

People are considered fully vaccinated: 2 weeks after their second dose in a 2-dose series, like the Pfizer or Moderna vaccines, or. 2 weeks after a single-dose vaccine, like Johnson & Johnson's Janssen vaccine.
https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-nc ... %20vaccine
It means the vaccine has activated the immune system to the fullest extent it can, to the level necessary to be resistant to the disease.

Got my 1st Pfizer shot just now at the local Walgreens, but they said that right now they cannot schedule a second dose. Their computer system still will not allow them to set up appointments.

:clap: Congrats sig ! If you keep in contact with the pharmacy you'll probably be able to book your second dose. Officially the second dose should be 21 days after the first one but it can be up to 6 weeks per CDC. I had to book my second one, my county didn't have a system to do it. Any side effects?
