I know you may not remember me, but you and Joy had immensely kind, and caring words for me here, a couple months back, and they meant a lot to me. It maybe sounds silly but hearing this news, was like hearing the news that good friends have gotten vaccinated. Suffice to say, congratulations! I am so happy for you, Joy, and Carter!

Congrats, that's awesome

You three are such lovely, thoughtful, kind, ethical people, and I’m so happy for you all! Thank you for the dose... of good news :-)

Congrats on getting the vaccine guys! I’m a healthcare worker and I want to say that me and most of my coworkers experienced more severe side effects after the second shot. This isn’t to dissuade anyone from getting the shot, but it’s important that you don’t plan anything important 24-36 hours after the 2nd shot. I found rotating between tylenol and ibuprofen every 3-4 hours helped me get through the day, but don’t pre-medicate before the shot. You don’t want to suppress your body’s immune response in anyway before the shot. Lastly, register yourselves at https://vsafe.cdc.gov/en/. It helps the cdc to collect data on adverse effects on the vaccine so we can learn more about it as more people get the vaccine. Congrats again!

Congratulations! I can't wait to get mine this month! 🎉

Congrats. It was more exciting to hear that @joy and the rest got their shots than it was to hear that my parents got it. For anyone who wants to jump the line ethically, call local pharmacies and ask to get on a waste list, and also check out hidrb.com which is a nationwide waste list. I think it’s good that people are being proactive and hunting down protection for themselves. This situation is so fluid that advice one week is likely to be meaningless the next. Which means to there is likely to be so much spoilage and also no reason to feel bad about protecting yourself whatever the means.

Glad we were able to help in some small way, Connor. Thanks for your support!

Congrats on getting vaccine. It's amazing how different our vaccine experiences were. Where I live, the city has moved to 1C and I qualified. I filled out a simple survey, made an appointment, and we drove to a spot. It was a drive thru vaccination situation. We were never even asked for a photo ID (which was honestly a little weird) or an insurance card. We filled out the paper work and showed an e-mail with our proof of appointment. Then we drove into what was basically a garage. The nurse jabbed my partner and I didn't even realize it. Same thing on my end. A for efficiency and D for bedside manner. It was kind of anti-climactic but an emotional relief too.

Congrats so glad you and the bubble got it. Looking forward to getting it myself asap.

So glad to hear you all successfully got the vaccine and did it ethically. I’m in Atlanta and two weeks ago my wife and I were able to get it in a similar way at a Walgreens. After calling several near us, we found one that said they give away their extra doses after their appointments at the end of the day. We went and waited, and at 5:45pm after all appointments were finished they had 4 doses left (6 doses in a vial of Pfizer). Because of missed appointments, it throws off how many vials they open during a given day, resulting in extra doses in a vial. We talked with the pharmacist about how those extra doses are handled, asking why they don’t have a better system for getting those doses to people on a waitlist for example, of people who may need them more than people like us. They told us that aside from the fact that they were relatively new to having received the vaccine and dispensing it, it’s too much work for their small but busy Walgreens to start calling people and expecting them to get there on time for what could be 1 to 5 doses at the end of the day. This is anecdotal from only one Walgreens in the metro Atlanta area; other Walgreens we called said they didn’t typically have extras, told us they had waitlists where they could take our names and call us when they got to us based on their extras, etc. We were assured that these doses would be wasted if people waiting for extras did not get them, so we felt ok taking them. I still felt there could be a better way to get word out and have local organizers get people truly in need to these places but in the meantime it seemed this was how unscheduled doses would be handled at this particular location. The day we went there were five people waiting and 4 extra doses. The next day a friend told me they had 2 extra doses and fifteen people waiting. Anyway, I gave Devindra a heads-up and I’m hopeful he and his family are able to get themselves vaccinated sooner than later. Georgia seems to have picked up the pace, as have many other states. Things are looking brighter. Edit: I actually wanted to add what getting vaccinated will mean for my family. My grandmother is 94 and lives in Los Angeles. She's a Holocaust survivor and before Covid she spoke every week at several local museums, telling the story of her experience in Auschwitz, losing her family and then being liberated and coming to America. At the end of January last year her first great grandchild was born, my son, Julian. In anticipation of his birth my family out west had gotten her setup with an Echo, which meant that she's been able to see him via video chat and also continue to speak to students over video during the pandemic. There are obviously serious considerations to be made before we jump on a plane after our second doses (and the two weeks afterwards have elapsed) but now that she and us are vaccinated it means that she might finally be able to meet him. When the pandemic started about a month after he was born it began to feel like she might never meet him. That thought was absolutely devastating and has hung over our entire family throughout the last year. We now have serious discussions and decisions to make but they have been made that much easier with the safety the vaccine affords all of us.

Congrats guys! Loved the play by play on this one. I am about to get my 2nd dose of Moderna on St. Patrick's Day. My wife got her 2nd dose a week ago and tonight we celebrated out at our local wine bar for the first time in probably 5 months. My wife is a 2nd grade teacher and has been back since late Jan with a class of 22, 5 days a week! We also just learned that my daughter who is a freshman in college qualifies as a food service worker due to her part time job, so I found an appointment for her the end of this coming week. In a couple of weeks we will be able to travel and visit my mom and father in law who will both be fully vaccinated by then. I hope everyone is encouraged to share their stories as they get vaccinated. It is important that this is a group effort. Thanks again for being so honest about the experience!

I finally had the chance to listen to this and thank you guys so much for sharing your thoughts! I'm currently scheduled to get the vaccine this Friday (Moderna) and I have been dealing with a range of emotions about it that I did not anticipate feeling, so it is reassuring to hear you all discuss it. In my household, my sister & I are the last ones to get the vaccine (my mom got Pfizer, and my brother-in-law got Johnson&Johnson) so I feel extremely grateful that we have been able to get it as early as we have. I totally understand the stigma folks have about "cutting in line" to get the shot early (it is something I contended with recently), but I also feel strongly that if you can get it early you're doing a service to society in addition to making a conscientious (good!) choice about your personal health. Everyone deserves the vaccine, and the inability of a particular group/person to access it is more of a failing of the government (either at a local or federal level) for not making it more widely available, or organizing a better distribution of it so that all communities have equal access to the vaccines. Anyways, I appreciate as always what you guys think, and looking forward to hearing about your experiences post-vaccine (possible grocery store runs, eating out, or going to a theater)!

I really love the episodes you do with Joy. You can feel the love between you guys in the way you speak to each other. I, too, really appreciate how ethical you are and Joy is always such a pleasure to listen to.
