I used my Walgreens cash rewards from my vaccinations to get 2 pints of Haagen Dazs…can I get a ” “Himesama Yes! Yes! ” for that score ? ( shes so cute )

Tomorrow, God willing, I will get my second shot. I can’t wait.
WaterGirl
@Betty: That’s so great! Come back tomorrow and we will celebrate with you. :-)

No shots for me as I’m in New Zealand (although I would have them if I could!)
Although the MiL got her second shot last Thursday.
Amir Khalid
Got my second dose on Friday. A picture of Lily for me, please.

@MagdaInBlack: Thank You. I know I’m triple dipping, but Ice Cream! ?
WaterGirl
@Royston Vasey: That’s good for a celebratory sticker! What would you like.
As for your news from New Zealand, maybe you would like one of these?
WaterGirl
@Amir Khalid: Always an excellent choice!
WaterGirl
@MagdaInBlack: I am all about ice cream, so I approve.
Betty
@WaterGirl: Thanks for your encouragement!

Copied over from the previous I Got the Shot Thread. Edited to update.
I got my first shot Sunday afternoon! I go back in three weeks for the second dose of Pfizer. Had a sore arm, but nothing else, which has disappeared by this morning (Tuesday). The shot itself was a prick and over and done with. The whole thing went very smoothly. May I have a sticker of Zevon, the dog with the fluffy ears, last row, right photo?
Here in Japan, your municipality sends you coupons. Until you have a coupon, you cannot do anything. And, even if you have a coupon, you still may not be able to do anything. For example, our coupons came, but only people with underlying health conditions were allowed to make an appointment. You have to wait to get a postcard saying that you are now able to make an appointment. It’s very typical Japanese bureaucracy.
It’s all been unevenly applied as well. My younger colleague, aged 38 or 39, will get his first shot Tuesday in his ward in Tokyo. Another of my colleagues, over 40, has yet to even receive his coupon from his city. Meanwhile the government has asked municipalities to slow down their vaccinations because supply is running low and they won’t get restocked until September.
Of course, the Olympics go on and there are already three ? positive cases in the Village. What could possibly go wrong?

@Amir Khalid:
Yeah?
Royston Vasey
@WaterGirl: Make it Happen, Jacinda!
WaterGirl
@Royston Vasey: I am guessing that mean you wanted the “Make it Happen” sticker, but I also wonder if that meant you wanted them all? It will just take a second, whatever you want.
Betty
@WaterGirl: No luck. All out of A-Z vaccine. No more expected for about a month. They have some Sinovac, and I was happy that they didn’t want me to take that. The wait continues.

During recent travels to the States, I stopped in and got a boost of mRNA because that was the advice regarding preparing for the delta variant for people (like me) who had previously had J&J’s one-and-done vaccine. My reaction to the mRNA wasn’t as strong as it was to the J&J, but I still had a bit of an oogly afternoon and evening about 24 hours after getting the shot.
Back in Germany now, still cross that the national immunization authorities won’t issue an opinion concerning the 12-16 age group. Many pediatricians (including ours) won’t vaccinate without such an opinion.
Anyway, I’d like Hamilton.
WaterGirl
@Betty: Oh, I’m so sorry to hear that. You need some stickers.
WaterGirl
@Doug: Smart move!
