Covid Vaccination?

Got a phone call from Optum at 3:30 yesterday to see if I was available to get the jab that afternoon. Hell, yes! Went over to their facility and got the 'jab' of Pfizer juice at 4:30. WOW!

Nothing weird to report, just a sore shoulder. Pat got the Moderna version at Disneyland the other day.

Nice. I was supposed to call starting today to maybe get happy. Was on hold for two hours, then disconnected! Truth!

Ohio? My siblings have been having a terrible time getting theirs.

All depends on what outfit you hook up with. My "mother in law" in nice suburb had no trouble getting scheduled at a place half a mile from her home. At age 88 she was a priority of course. I'm getting mine at big hospital in inner city. Cattle call, took 45 minutes to get there, then spent another hour standing in three lines. But I got shot number 1, and number 2 is scheduled.

My youngest sister got hers from the VA hospital in Cleveland. She's 66. My #2 Brother got his from a clinic in Kent. He's 75. Middle Sister got hers at a hospital in Youngstown. She's 67. Not sure about the rest of them. (I am the youngest of seven siblings at 57.) So, it is slowly coming together in Ohio.

I'm set up for the 16th, wife who was five minutes behind me in registering is on the 20th.

Here we have to go through the health department, gave them my contact info back a month or more. Checked periodically during the intervening weeks. Then a email informing me to register. Had to wait for the 65 and over to kick in.

I'm supposed to get my second shot on March 3. I'll be so glad to have both shots done.

I'm not sure when my boys and daughter in law will get theirs. They are in their forties so it might be a while.

For what length of time is the vaccine effective?

Unknown is what I have read and heard.
We are just at a year into this one.

Might be a six month to year booster needed.
