My state just announced that, beginning tomorrow, any eligible person can be vaccinated in Oklahoma without regard to state residency. Out-of-staters (and presumably, out-of-nationers (!)) can be vaccinated in Oklahoma so long as they're otherwise eligible.

No, you are very sane. I am thinking of all the people who despite their fears, political views, and suspicion of 'unnatural' modern medicine will give them up for a free ice cream.

Or make Krispy Kreme stores vaccination sites as they're already giving away a free donut with your vaccination shot!

Yup, that would definitely bring in some of the "hesitant" folks here in NC!

We just got our second Pfizer shot, and for the 1st and 2nd shot they gave us coupons worth 10% off our next grocery order up to a value of $20.

Yeah, I almost forgot. CVS (Longs) gave us a vey nice discount coupon - forget the details, but we shop there often just for stuff (If I run out of room spray or flying insect spray, found IPA alcohol there recently, special greeting card, etc.) they have EVERYTHING. They're more expensive than Sams or Costco, but oh, so much closer and I always find a parking spot by the front door. Also, unlike Costco, I can get out of there with what I came for instead of $100 worth of other stuff. Heh, heh, they gave BOTH DW and me one of the coupons even though we went together! YMMV

I did, but my husband didn’t, although we were there at the same time.
His Pfizer hurt a bit, and I literally didn’t feel a thing.
I was lucky that day.

My Pfizer shot was a pretty good pinch. DH didn’t feel anything with his shot - different time and provider.

I have noticed that some med staff do better in giving shots than others. Megacorp at my site had a WWII nurse who would scare you because she shook as if her nerves were shot. But when she came in for the actual shot or blood draw, everything stabilized and she never missed a vein or caused any pain. Other folks in the same office were not as good nor as consistent. I always tried to arrange to get 'Margaret' for shots and blood work. She was an angel - with stories from hell. YMMV

My DD, 32 and her DH, 33 received the Pfizer vaccine today at 1:00. He started a new job in 07/2020 in PA. He has not been into the office yet. He is in IT. His office just went back recently, but he talked with his boss and stated that he was not planning on going in until after he received the Covid vaccine. So far, they have not made him go into the office.
My DD was on Facebook and someone posted that there were several empty appointments for a Covid vaccine event they were having in Cranberry PA. Her DH called and they were given 1:00 appointments and needed 31 minutes to get there and it was 12:05 then. She asked the next door neighbor if she would watch the two youngest children play outside, which they could do it from their porch. I am so happy that they have received their first shots.

Just got Pfizer #2 from the health department at the county fairgrounds. Counting husband's shots, this is the fourth time we've been through their routine; it is as inefficient as ever, especially having to fill out a form while in line in one's car. But it's done, and the priceless (and easily counterfeited) little shot card is filled out.

Got my 2nd vaccine (Pfizer) as well. Quick and easy at a small town independent pharmacy. Almost 2 hours drive each way, but both times I checked in, and barely got comfy in a chair when my name was called. The 10 minute reaction time wait was the longest part of it. Nice to have that done. Waiting for the train wreck tomorrow, but so far I feel great.
I suppose there will be some counterfeiting of vaccine cards. Hopefully enough of us will be vaccinated to have herd immunity.

In my county it looks like we've reached the turning point where there are more vaccines then people signing up, the county currently has 2000 open appointments. Both J&J and Moderna available, I got my 2nd Moderna shot last week.
