What It’s Like Getting Both COVID-19 Vaccines

We were fine, but a 2nd shot wasn’t guaranteed
Fast forward to three weeks after our first dose, and my husband and I never experienced a side effect. We went on about our lives, feeling hopeful. When we got our first shot, the pharmacy simply told us to call them three weeks later to schedule an appointment for the second one. So we did just that, and they told us “Oh, sorry, the waitlist is really long…might be a couple of weeks.” Keep in mind you must get your second shot within six weeks of the first, and as early as three weeks. “What if you can’t get me one within the six-week mark?” I asked. “Uh…good question…” the pharmacist said, offering nothing else. I guess I thought having that vaccine card showing your first dose was the golden ticket for the second one. And I guess I was wrong.
