well i think i was!
I say that as i saw the needle but i didn't feel anything and so far i've not even had a sore arm - guess i'm not having a bad reaction to the vacc! Probably just as well - i'm not great with needles. I haven't managed to get a 5G signal yet and i'm not sure what platform Microsoft control me with - i've tried the usuals but nada - mayhap its just a treatment for Covid 19 after all.
Now its the wait for the second dose, its most effective when there is a longer interval between doses but it feels like its a lifetime away even if its only 10 weeks.

Ten weeks?
The two whose names I recognize only require around three or four weeks. (Mine required four weeks.)

Congrats!
Agree with Daphne, 3 and 4 week waits between doses. I get my 2nd shot (after a 4 week wait) this coming Saturday. First one made my arm sore for a day or two and I was pretty tired the evening of the day I got it.
No 5G out here where we live - small town in the upper Midwest. Hard enough to get any cell signal at all at our house. At least it’s finally getting warm enough to go out and ride. Most of the snow is gone now.

Time
They are starting to say that up to 3 months between the first and second shot help to spread the love around with partial protection, and it might be offering a better protection with more time between the two.

Time between jabs
Here in the UK the gov has made the time between jabs 10-12 weeks instead of 3-4. This is to get as many peeps their first jab as poss.
I had my first jab 1st feb so I’ll get my second end of April beginning May.

The mind control system isn't
The mind control system isn't working well- it turns out that the cellular companies lied to the government about how well they'd be able to support the transmissions, and they're about 12 months behind.
Oxford-AstraZeneca (I think that's the spelling) is a two dose, as is Pfizer-Biontech and Moderna. Johnson&Johnson is a single shot, but they're experimenting with a two shot regimen.
Like any sort of vaccine, a 'booster' shot isn't going to be a bad thing with SARS-CoV2. The major deal is getting the two additional variants into the vaccines going forward.
Anyway - full expression of antibodies is 29-56 days. So, even if you get the single shot, you're not protected for quite some time.
I'll get a life when it's proven and substantiated to be better than what I'm currently experiencing.
It’s not the mind control ....
..... it’s the itch at the base of spine where my tail’s growing that worries me .....

Three Weeks Later....
Almost 4 weeks since my second shot, so I should have some immunity now, but I'm still not ready to take chances, especially with this new variant in NYC now, B.1.526, sporting some of the same mutations as the worrying South African and Brazilian variants. My county is logging 1,000 new Covid-19 cases every single day, sometimes many more. I don't see death stats posted for yesterday, but it's been averaging two dozen a day most recently, which, believe it or not, is something of an improvement.
Everyone should definitely get the jab. It's the only defense we've got in addition to avoiding inhaling anything anyone else breathes out. Even if it's only limited immunity to the variants, the alternative is unacceptable. I only just found out how sick my cousin has been. She was hospitalized early last year, ICU, ventilator, the whole bit for a month. She later told me she had had it, but not how bad. So now I find out that she never really got better, and has been struggling with "long covid" (a.k.a. Post-Covid Syndrome) ever since (like nearly a year now!), with pulmonologists, cardiologists, therapists, the whole deal and she's too tired and weak to do anything anymore.
Get the jab (shot), continue taking precautions, including protecting yourself with a mask, and let's make this damned pandemic end if we can!
as usual some people haven't read things correctly
This vaccine is not actually a true vaccine. In this case its a t cell that activates t cells quicker to overcome covid infection. It is NOT a complete cure against covid 19. One or two "jabs" does not mean you are free to do anything even after a month or two. What it does mean is that if/when you get covid19 you are unlikely to have anything more than sniffles, cough, and feel lousy till it runs its course..ONLY then are you "immune" to that strain of the virus and ONLY that strain. Since there is variants popping up all over you will get it multiple times just like the common cold and flu already. Note for some people they need multiple exposures to same virus to be immune.
Your best course is to boost your immune system. Exercise, aerobically, take vitamins, eat lots of fruits and veggies and goodmeats. reduce sugar intake as much as possible.
There are several vaccines,
There are several vaccines, so about the only thing you can go for is to say that these are not 'killed virus' vaccines. (I believe there's one in testing). They are all vaccines. They teach your body to recognize trigger points to be able to activate faster in the case of infection. You never truly develop an immunity to a virus, what you end up with is an immune system that reacts fast enough that the virus can't establish itself to the point of seeing illness.
So, yes, they -are- all true vaccines. They just work differently. Pfizer/Moderna are RNA, Johnson and Johnson is adenovirus carried, and so forth. (I don't know about the other four out there, my brain isn't working well right now memory wise)
I'll get a life when it's proven and substantiated to be better than what I'm currently experiencing.
Several Varieties
There are a number of approaches taken in developing these inoculations. They all aim to teach your immune system to protect you from the disease. While the original "vaccine" (the smallpox vaccine, which was actually live cowpox virus, and hence the Latin word for "cow" is the basis for the name) was an unattenuated live virus, none since then have been. Even the smallpox vaccine was replaced with something safer, the closely-related but milder vaccinia virus, whose actual origin is lost in the annals of time, but may be related to a horsepox. But, anyway....
Here's a list of all currently available Covid-19 vaccinations/inoculations anywhere in the world, as well as those still in development and testing. (As of today, updated through 3/25/2021.) Many different technological approaches are being used in the race to develop effective, scalable, inexpensive, and safe protection against this pandemic.

Side effects
Only a minor arm ache for me on first dose. Oh yes, and a strong compulsion to buy those boots that popped up on the screen, and the leggings. I have resisted so far as I reckon the rights to the mind control bots have been sold out to marketing companies and I dislike my data being passed around. They're the wrong colour anyway.

Still Waiting
Still waiting, I imagine will eventually become available for us. My parents got theirs so that's good. I dont leave my house anyway since I work from home for the most part so I can wait.

PS Neither of them had any problems with it. Looking forward to visiting them maybe this summer.
