I (57 years old) got my first Pfizer shot Monday a week ago. My wife (60) got her first Moderna shot today. I work in a hospital so we're able to get it.
To be honest, I was really against it in the beginning. We currently have 68 Covid inpatients in a 350 bed hospital. From walking through the Covid units I would say 95% are over 70 years old.
I changed my mind after standing in front of my crew every day during our meeting recommending they register for their shots.
This past Monday the hospital started vaccinations for 65 and older, and first responders. They converted a parking deck into a nice area to do shots that keeps people from going into the main hospital. Monday they did 200 shots, by Wednesday they were doing 400 and today they were close to 500.
I had a sore arm and a headache for a day. My wife has a very sore arm and is tired. We'll see how she is tomorrow morning.
Hopefully its not some weird mind control potion.
