Yeah 23 nasal swabs. Getting a 24th on Monday and a 25th on Wednesday. Really tired of them at this point. In reality, probably closer to 30 as the ones I had on vacation and before the contact tracing app went live I didn’t add in. Also been vaccinated since December.

My work and the area I live in, kind of a necessity for all of us to remain as covid free as possible. So we have gone through some pretty stringent requirements to remain that way. The pcr tests are only a small part of it, believe it or not. I understand the necessity of it and they have done a great job of keeping us relatively covid free but I’ll be happy when this whole thing is over.

48 hours after the first shot, the injection site is no longer sore.

I can get it after the 24th of this month. Will schedule my shot day one.

On covid-19 protocol until I get tested tomorrow, due to sniffles. Pretty sure its because I'm stupid and was grinding stone without wearing a mask, but I'm okay with the requirement.

Huge plus ... my parents have decided to get vaccinated. My mom was resisting, but something apparently changed. Great news.

Progress! I hope they get it

I have no idea when I can get mine, even when I'm eligible I don't feel like standing in line for hours only to be told they ran out of shots and to come back later. I'll just wait until it becomes more widely available and I can walk into a clinic and get in and out within an hour.

I'm also considered "lower risk" anyway since I already had the virus, even with the variants floating around so I'd be near the back of the line for it to begin with.

By the time it's my turn we'll know more about the effectiveness of the J&J vaccine.

Don't know where you are and each state is different. They give out appointments for the number of shots that they have in clinic. If they have no-shows they vaccinate random people from 4 to 5 so they don't waste shots. Might want to call and check the shot clinics to see if they have extras from time to time. It's not really jumping the line if people no show and they have to use the shots. I know a few people that are lower tiers that have done that already.

Plus, it's not that bad of a process. I walked in, and had a shot in my arm in minutes. Oklahoma had a portal system where you enter all your medical stuff online. They then e-mail you a QR code for the people at the shot clinic so you don't have to fill out any paperwork. Basically I walked in, showed the people my ID and the QR code, got a raffle ticked for my shot, and then went and sat down and got my shot. The station that took the longest was the lady writing down my information on my shot card.... The whole check in process took maybe 3~5 minutes. I then had to wait 15 minutes to see that I didn't have a bad reaction and I was gone. Total time was 20 minutes and aside from showing the lady my ID and actually getting a shot I was 6 feet away from everyone.

It wasn't a bad experience at all and I'm a pretty strict social distancer.

They do have appointments here, but the problem they've been running into is that even with appointments people have been turned away because they keep screwing up, giving out too many appointments, don't tell anybody, then find out when they run out with still a hundred or so folks in line. It's happened multiple times in my city already.

Also, keep in mind that my city alone has more people than your whole state. The logistics alone to get things like this done are on a much larger scale.
