Just read this morning that the US will produce 132 million doses just in March, that's triple the rate of last month as they become more efficient in the process, start making certain raw materials on their own and getting all the people in the process trained. By mid summer 75% of Americans over the age of 12 should be fully vaccinated. A nagging problem is a relatively high percentage of people who don't plan on taking the vaccine, and that includes a pretty high percentage of health care workers who are refusing it. That needs to be worked on, but once people's minds are made up it is hard to change them.

I’m in the U.K., had my first -AZ vaccine yesterday, second one booked for June. The U.K. managed to do around 700,000 vaccinations a day, which is impressive...
844,000 jabs given in the uk yesterday so efficiency is still improving. Let's hope the predicted shortfall of available vaccine in April doesn't materialise and we can keep up the pace.
All adults vaccinated (offered the vaccine) before the end of the summer would be some achievement

If you choose not to have the vaccine that’s ok.there’s more for those you do.only time will tell who was right and who was wrong.death or life changing consequences is a high price to pay for stubbornness or suspicion.

I think I got my first shot on March 18. I say I think I got my first shot. I didn’t feel the needle, and have had zero side effects. Nothing! I don’t know which medication I received, but it was not Astro Zeneca. Next shot, April 22. No sweat!

Looks like they are trying to push out the time between first and second doses, presumably so that they can use more of the vaccine on hand to give people their first shot. The schedule you mentioned is 5 weeks between shots, which is longer than the suggested interval for either Moderna (4 weeks) or Pfizer (3 weeks). It should be fine, but it just delays your full immunity by a week or two.

why did I think you were in California?

Born and raised in California. After 50+ years it was time to leave California.

We relocated in November to Sanibel, Florida. We love it here.

Are the two stage vaccines the same and same strength?

I had first dose of Moderna the first of this month with second dose scheduled for the 31st.

Here I the US only the Moderna and Pfizer vaccines are emergency approved. Both protect from severe disease to about 95%.

Yes, but I have heard that people often have a stronger reaction to the second because their immune system is "primed" for it.

The Johnson & Johnson (one and done) vaccine is also approved for emergency use. I've known people who have got that vaccine here in the US.

One Pfizer down, one to go in three weeks....and to our Canadian friend, @Canuck, didn't they give you a card with your name, dates of vaccination and name of the Manufacture of the vaccine? We are getting this in the US.

Sore site of injection for about 18-24 hours on this 1st injection.

No card. Nope! Unless it wasn’t handed to me, but placed somewhere where I failed to pick it up.

Hang onto it if you get it. I wouldn't be shocked if you need it to fly internationally at some point.

An update.

Starting to feel a little achy, like a cold coming on but no nasal stuffiness. Thought I was dehydrated and grabbed some water. Only after getting flushed did I remember that I had the shot and people said this sometimes happens. No too bad but something to be mindful of.

It's actually nice to have something to blame other than just being old.

Yup, really common for the 2nd shot. A strong immune response. Everyone I know who took part in the trials talked about being able to figure out if they had the actual vaccine or placebo based on side effects. Water is good, you should definitely be keeping hydrated.

The CDC discourages people from taking Tylenol or NSAIDS before vaccination, but they say it's ok to treat side effects afterwards.

The UK is doing a 12 week interval. It's part of the reason they've been able to vaccinate so many people. It's a bit of a calculated risk and hopefully it turns out okay.

Things are definitely rolling here in Florida. Vaccine dropped to 50 age bracket as of today, and I had absolutely no problem signing up first thing this morning for my local supermarket. There are vaccination sites everywhere.
