Covid-19 Vaccine Information

^^^^^ I just got home from OCCC.

I'm glad to receive the first vaccine. But there were so many people there. From the time I walked in the door until I walked out the door was 1 hour and 35 minutes. Lots of time spent waiting in line.

yeah... the wait definitely seemed longer than what other people experienced... but i wonder if those locations were processing the same volume of people. if i had any criticism of the occc operation it is that they didn't enforce any kind of distancing in that long line.

I didn’t think much about this until somebody else mentioned the same at work today.

Did any of you guys notice a funny taste in your mouth shortly after the shot? I noticed an almost metallic taste when walking back to the car.

i had the j&j and didn't experience anything like that. around 10-15 minutes after i left the site (around 30 minutes after the shot) i felt a bit of a tingling sensation on the injected arm and that side of my face. that subsided within 5-10 minutes. i currently have the slightest bit of tightness in the injected arm... but it is so mild that i probably wouldn't notice it if i wasn't looking for something. who knows... tomorrow might be a different story.

I received the first dose of Pfizer and didn't notice anything like that. I had a bit of soreness and swelling at the injection site (still do a bit, a day and a half later), but nothing else.

I got Moderna and definitely did not and haven't heard anyone else mention it.

Just talked to the doc about it and they said it can happen. It’s possible to taste medicine when injected. It doesn’t happen all the time and it may not even be noticeable, but it can happen.

Had no taste with my Pfizer dose.

And I got mine through the Chickasaw Nation as the spouse of a teacher. I had to specify all of this upon sign up, but when I arrived all they checked was my ID and the QR code from the email. I'd brought his teaching ID and my marriage license as proof. Had to laugh at what overkill that seemed like afterward...

Dang, my arm was quite sore the day after my Pfizer shot.

Why is there such a difference between the flu shot, this shot, and say the tetanus shot?

They are all different technologies to create them.

I recently had a 2-does vax for shingles and the second one kicked my butt.

I was achy and my arm was crazy sore for 2-3 days.


I get a flu shot every year and that is always just 24 hours of a sore arm.

Yeah, we both had some reaction to the 2nd shingles shot, kinda the same but not quite as bad as yours. Waiting for my 2 week period from my 2nd shingles shot to be over so I can start the COVID process...

Seems they allocated too many doses to the Rural Areas. Should be way more shots available in OKC Proper.

Not interested in driving 2 hours or using any of my PJ Time flying to F’ing Gotebo.

I am guessing it is because the city appointments go faster. As time goes on and if those are not used in rural areas they will ship them closer to OKC/Tulsa.

[Bellaboo]

I drove 90 miles to Ponca City for the first dose and 70 miles to Enid for the second dose.

It was great to get out of the house.

[Dustin]

Finally found a good time and booked a first and second dose next week in Chandler! Excited to hopefully put this national nightmare behind us!

Get vaccinated, please!

[OKCbyTRANSFER]

As vaccine availability is improving, they're even doing it at work, a bunch of us have now received our first shot. I'm surprised at how many in work say they won't get it (for whatever reason). Maybe they will change their mind later as more of us get them and our second shot.

I definitely had a metallic taste in my mouth after my Pfizer shot. I mentioned it to my husband who also had the Pfizer vaccine and he said he also did. My arm was sore but only for a few hours while my co-workers' arms were sore for days. It just goes to show that every body reacts differently.

Choctaw Nation is now scheduling appointments for *anyone over 18*. Info here:

The tribal nations continue to crush it when it comes to vaccinating folks

I'm glad you brought up shingles.

As someone who had shingles and still experience very significant pain 2 years later, l can't stress enough to those who had chicken pox, GET YOUR SHINGLES VACCINATIONS!! Get it as soon as you can after Covid vacc! Don't wait, don't put it off like l did. You really don't want to feel like bees are constantly stinging you 24-7-364.

That sucks you ended up getting shingles. I've heard very bad stories.

My primary care doc strongly recommended that vaccine and I did both doses through Sam's, easy breezy.

My doctor STRONGLY suggested I get the shingles shot a couple years ago. It took a bit at the time to find someone that had it. I ended up at the pharmacy in the Integris Edmond Medical Center.

I got a pair of shingles shots, pneumonia, and flu shot on doctors order 30 days apart at Walgreens a couple of years ago. No big deal at all, except I had to wait in line awhile every time.

I don't understand why my doctor didn't give them but I'm guessing he doesn't make enough money on them to deal with it.

I wondered about the not doing them in the office too.

Did you get the Shingrix shot?
