Our Docs have had both doses now and this week it was open to support hospital staff...
Required to not be scheduled for work the day after and possibly the day after that.
Got mine this morning so only had to confirm not scheduled to come in Saturday... I switched my Saturday shift to Sunday.
The main hospital was super organized with stations and lots of distancing in the large conference room and 100% outside air... all done by appointment at 5 min intervals per each of the 4 stations... so about 50 per hour for 12 hours or 600 per day.
This is my first vaccine in more than a quarter century...
Only 6 hours post vaccine so far but it does feel like someone punched me in the arm and some face swelling and redness noticed this afternoon by others... the day after is typically when whatever is to happen kicks in thus the being off the day after.
The second dose 4 weeks later is reported to have more reactions in those so inclined...
Mom actually wants the vaccine... she was 45 years an RN... so far nothing available for 86 year olds outside of nursing homes... qualified yes but not available... I don't want to take her to one of the mass sports stadium gatherings...
I asked if she could go in my place but not an option since employer sponsored...
If everything goes to plan... in 6 weeks from now I should have my max immunity... for how long is unknown.
Covid has reshaped my job greatly... lots of public interaction now has we have strict screening and entry restrictions... they say that I am effective with the public in a non confrontational or alienating way and admin has received positive patient feedback...
Very interesting. I’m getting the shot next Tuesday. Was told I had to wait 15 minutes after the shot because if there was a negative reaction it would occur within 15 minutes.
