I FINALLY got my shot today.
I had been trying for weeks. My county finally had an opening at a mass hub at a local Catholic church. It was extremely well organized and put together.
I was in and done within minutes. I (and everyone else) had to sit for 5 to 10 mins afterwards to see about any reactions. I go for my second one at the beginning of May.
As for side effects, the nurse told me to expect them. So far only a sore arm and feeling extremely tired. I am thankful that I have tomorrow and of course the weekend off to rest. When I go for my second one it's on a Friday so that's good as well!
