Actually, the corner of La Cienega and Santa Monica Blvd. - used to be a bowling alley then a roller skating rink in the 1980s.

Just a few blocks from my last home there, on Kings Rd.

Vaccine booked for Monday and then the 29th of March for second one. North Hollywood, which was completely available last night but couldn't be booked, was full up today, but West Hollywood was open for all times so I grabbed 11:30. It's on Santa Monica Blvd. probably between Fairfax and La Brea.

Fantastic. What site did you use to book it?

I like that you are already booked for your second appointment, plus by the number of days you know you will be getting the Moderna vaccine.

Is that at a CVS pharmacy?

Yes, a CVS.

Booked on their site.

Picked up one package, as the second package was coming from Amazon delivery so I'll get that one tomorrow.

Listening to music right now. Have already proofed about forty pages and I'll either finish tonight or early tomorrow. Grant thinks we can do the corrections on Sunday, so that will be good.

Who here has had the Moderna - reading about possible side effects makes me want to cancel immediately. The only thing I've read is about Phizer or whatever it's called, and that's usually just sore arms.

I read that quickly as “I used to be a bowling ally”. I thought you were cheering on the teams

You won't have to wait in a long car line

Good vibes the process is simple-just don't forget your mask & remember you have to wait 15 minutes after the vaccination before you can leave.

Keith & I had Moderna. I know many people who have had it without side effects.

First shot I had a sore arm which really wasn't a big deal. The suggestion is to get it in the opposite side you sleep on, if you sleep on your side. I of course avoid all shots in my right arm. Oh, and I slept great that first night.

First shot for Keith was a bit more of a sore arm. That night a low grade fever, nothing really bad. He also had a mild headache. The problem with headaches is knowing if it is just the weather or due to the shot.

Jane · « **Reply #134 on:** February 25, 2021, 05:55:09 PM »

Second shot was basically the same for Keith. His mild headache lasted longer, his arm hurt less though he still get a red arm that looked worse than it felt.

Second dose for me bothered my arm less. Chills and low grade fever the first night which were not a big deal and gone by morning. A worse than usual migraine the next day and I didn't feel great. All in all it really was not bad and nothing compared to covid unless you are lucky and asymptomatic.

As Keith reminded me, they only last 24-48 hours. We still worked out and we still functioned.

Jane · « **Reply #135 on:** February 25, 2021, 05:59:36 PM »

Two weeks after your second vaccinations, if you are exposed to covid, the quarantine time is maybe a couple of days vs 14 days. There may be other advantages if you can show you have been vaccinated. Right now they deal with travel but there might be other work related ways down the road.

I have had the first Moderna shot. No problems, except for a slightly sore arm for a day.

Watching The Great British Bake-Off for the first time. Fun. A little better than the American version. But I can feel my blood sugar rise. And I want Swiss Roll.

Well, I think I should not watch that show for a while. Just makes me want to bake.
