I work in the ED at Yale in New Haven. Y’all...it’s been crazy. This is amazing. Got an email telling me to get my appointment set. I work a 3 day rotation over the weekend. Have a few days off after getting the vaccine to combat any side effects. I’m doing it! Here’s to hoping things can get back to normal for everyone.
It is a 2 stage vaccine. If you want, I will update with side effects for both. I’m just so excited. It honestly makes me feel like crying.
EDIT!!!!!!!!
Here is a link to the update I was asked for. https://imgur.com/gallery/KlELcyQ

I work in a COVID ICU but my hospital can’t get its shit together enough to get us vaccines in a timely manner.

Great! Just curious - do they allow you folks tranquilizers? Gotta be awful in there these days, like a MASH unit.
DemonLynx
I work in the psych side of the ED. No tents required. lol

I work for a health system in Alabama. They started our medical staff (volunteers) earlier this week. Support staff (such as myself) 1/
HarryDresdenIsMySpiritAnimal
2/ should start getting the vaccine in a few weeks. I'm super excited.
Conzo9000

Thank you for what you do! I'm getting mine this week.
Johnny5dicks
Here's hoping this isn't the T virus
lwoshea
Here's hoping it IS the T-Rex virus! (as in... it turns people into t-rexes!)
Elmhafudd
Let me know if you get sick. So I can use as evidence for my roommate that won't get one because he thinks it will kill him
Sylviastout
I'm happy for you! Yes, please.
pandamoniums
Also work in New Haven, got mine this morning at Griffin Hospital!
Mushkin1

With the Covid vaccine coming soon, it's the perfect time to use natural selection on the anti-vaxxers.
bubbersapr
I took a vaccine a few months ago when it was undergoing phase 3 testing and im just fine
TigerThong
ok Mr.Gates's robot. /s
HaikuSorrow
Thank you for participating in the trial :)
UsedCarSalesChick
Congrats! Question: Do they schedule you at the time you receive it for your second dose?
MaxximumB
@Op do you need to take out a second mortgage to pay for it though?
HelpfulCorn
Vaccines in the us are usually free with insurance or cheap from the health department.
DemonLynx
I’m frontline in the hospital. My job pays for it.
khensu83
Congratulations it’s about time front line workers were at the front of the line for somthing
TheOnlyOriginalScreenNameLeft
The sad thing is that front line workers who are not hospital staff won’t have priority access to the vaccine. 1/2
TheOnlyOriginalScreenNameLeft
I work at a bike shop that has been open to the public this whole time and I am at risk of infection 5 days a week. 2/2
ThermoNuke
While I appreciate you working, I’m oil and gas and have worked through it all as well. Someone fighting for lives can have my spot in line.
ThermoNuke
We will get our turn soon enough.
TheOnlyOriginalScreenNameLeft
Meanwhile I could get infected by one asshole customer at any time, while I am unable to protect myself unless I refuse to work.
LokJok
Congratulations! Please update!

Let us know how the 5G signal strength is
MeatSparkles
So once you're vaccinated are going to wear a mask or not? This should be interesting...

Jealous
JustAnotherLinkInTheChain
Anyone concerned about the potential long term side effects? Genuinely curious
GeforcerFX
These are programmers, so the immune system learns without the nastier side of the virus getting loose.
loser9999
The term side effects for covid are much worse
wandergeist
Nope. What are you going to do, stay isolated for 10 years while you wait to see?
Arkkeri
The 1st covid vaccine tests were 11 months ago. Even the weirdest rarest ones have shown themselves in that time (pandemrix -> narkolepsy)
HaikuSorrow
Narcolepsy?
Arkkeri
In Finland somewhat under 200 ppl out of all swineflu vaccinated got narcolepsy symptoms 6-12 months after the shot. Adjuvant had some issue
HaikuSorrow
Oh, sorry. I had read that previously, I thought you were referring to current COVID-19 vaccination trials. Thank you for clarifying.
RicardoVanDijke
Are you as concerned about the long term side effects of Covid?
JustAnotherLinkInTheChain
Yes. And considering I've been activated twice for support, I'm not too thrilled with it.
craftinscrap
I thought they are minimal considering it causes an immune response without attacking our bodies
lwoshea
Not me! Since the side effect of covid is fucking DEATH - any side effect from the vaccine will be mild by comparison.
JustAnotherLinkInTheChain
I'm a soldier and in healthcare. Sometimes death is the preferable alternative
TheS4ndm4n
So far, the biggest risk is an allergic reaction to one of the ingredients. But that's true for any medicine, or food for that matter.
TheSaddestSeaHorse
I was told point blank not to get it due to my allergic reaction to normal flu shots. I swell up like a balloon.
TheS4ndm4n
That's what herd immunity is for.

Idk if you kicked the big one, but I got all shot up and I’m still here.

I didn’t die. Nothing happened. I’m doing good!

That's good to hear! Thank you for the update. Stay safe
ProfessorSandwich
NZSheeps
If he dies?
MrSpankalot
Let's just assume that if he doesn't respond, the vaccine turns you into a zombie.
Sylviastout
Lol no!, but that would make it a little difficult
probshouldntsayitbut
Especially if he dies!!!!
ThatMedicThatNeedsAKidney
Yes
GameOfLiesAndDeath
No news is... not so good news?
ProfessorSandwich

Just let us know if you start having any unusual cravings. Or particular itchiness.

I've had mine, no unusual cravings other than human flesh so far.

As long as you don’t have allergies to any of the ingredients, you should be fine! The mRNA is not going to cause any major problems. ?

What side effects are you worried about? Honest question
TheNerdFonz
This year I got suddenly diagnosed with diverticulitis and had the surgery to remove a portion of my colon (all in the same year)
TheNerdFonz
So between diagnosis and surgery I had a FEW infections and ER visits. I’m still recovering so anything that could impact that or weaken me.
TheNerdFonz
Obviously beyond that I don’t have any preexisting conditions. But quite honestly I’ve had my fill of illness of ANY kind this year.
