I will hopefully be getting my first vaccine shot today, despite the fact that I am likely to be a zombie Bc I woke up at 5am and can’t get back to sleep. Wish me luck, I guess? And all of the caffeine.

Good luck!

Same! You technically qualify for getting vaccinated early, depending on how your country is doing its criteria, so I hope you get vaccinated soon.

[sabotabby]

Probably in most parts of the country, but we're incredibly slow to get the vaccines and I'm pretty sure my province is going to make sure teachers go dead last.

But you have a handy medical condition that is technically an autoimmune disorder, so they should be sticking you near the front if they have any sense.

[sabotabby]

Alas, I don't, and they don't have any sense either. Underlying medical conditions are not being considered right now, and even if they were, I don't have a diagnosed autoimmune disorder.

EEEEEEEE congrats! I hope the side effects aren't too harsh. What variant did you get? (Pfizer or Moderna?)

So far I just have arm soreness at the site of the injection. But tomorrow we will see, I guess? I might want to make a bunch of the buckwheat pancakes now so I have low carb food then that requires no spoons. Hmm.
