Experience and experience after administering Johnson & Johnson vaccine @ Large Vaccine Station

I received a notice from the company a few days ago that employees are eligible to be vaccinated

I quickly made an appointment on the official website: https://myturn.ca.gov/ (I think the name of this website is very cute~ It's my turn)

Just made an appointment on the morning of 4/9 Friday, I didn't think too much about it, I just wanted to say hurry up and finish this round

Later I felt that Friday is the most appropriate, because if there are side effects, I really need 1-2 days off.

After I finished the appointment, I found out that it was the Johnson & Johnson vaccine.

The area near my home (East LA) provides Johnson & Johnson vaccines, and the west seems to have more of the other two brands.

Before vaccination

At nine o'clock in the morning on 4/9, there were not many people on the way, I thought not many people would be vaccinated,

As a result, when I arrived at the venue, I saw a lot of cars. It was a spectacular sight. The experience of driving thru vaccination was the first time in my life.

As soon as you arrive at the entrance, a staff member will verbally ask if you work in LA? LA resident? If no, you are not eligible

I heard rumors before that I didn't check my identity, it's not the same, it should depend on the site

I will confirm the certification documents issued by the company, company ID, driver's license, as well as the QR code of the appointment confirmation to the staff, and then pass the customs safely.

In fact, I was really worried that I would be rejected, because at the time of the appointment, he wrote that this site is only for La Verne and El Monte residents,

But I am not a resident of these two areas, but when I filled out the appointment form, I entered the Zipcode of my home, and this vaccine station popped up, so I am confused whether I am eligible....

There is a sign here, I saw Korean and Chinese, it is telling us to listen to the broadcast, probably to give some instructions, but I didn't switch to listen to it.

being vaccinated

Anyways

The next step is just like ordering Chick-Fli-A fast food, follow the instructions step by step, there are many staff on site, they will greet you and tell you what information to provide...blah, the whole experience I think is very intimate

And many of the staff are mostly African American, which I think is pretty good

I'm thinking, will they invite homeless people to volunteer? Because I think the nature of this kind of work should be very popular with homeless people, it will not be a very rough job, but it needs some sunshine

At about 9:35, it was my turn to be vaccinated, and the nurse would ask if I wanted to hit the left or right arm.

That day, I happened to be in the right seat, so it was more convenient to stretch out my right arm, so I chose to hit the right arm,

I feel that this shot should not affect my work, so I didn't want to say that it must be shot on the left arm.

after vaccination

After the fight, the route planning will make all cars stop for 15 minutes. No photos are allowed in this area.

It is to wait for the vaccine reaction to see if there is any abnormality, so that the relevant personnel can respond,

While I was waiting, I was very peaceful, just watching the staff and walking around in the sun was also very hard....

After 15 minutes it's fine (they write the time of your vaccinations on a piece of paper and clip it to the wipers as Tracking), then they'll let you go.

I really thought that vaccination was a piece of cake, so I only took the morning leave and continued to work from home in the afternoon

In the afternoon, it was still the tranquility before the storm. At that time, I felt tired and didn't feel much.

The real scary thing is probably after get off work, that is, 8 hours after the vaccine is in the body,

Start to get chills, as if you are going to have a fever, and feel weak all over

At this time, I want to say go buy a take-out dinner, and also go to Best Buy to buy a thermometer, go home and rest

I bought a stinky pot for dinner, the kind with stinky tofu. I ate about 1/20 of it. I felt like I was going to die.

At about eight o'clock, I lay directly on the bed and started to sleep,

At 10 o'clock (should be the climax of the whole game), I was woken up by my own headache, I got up and started drinking water like crazy, I got dizzy when I stood up, I grabbed a painkiller to eat,

After eating, I went back and continued to lie down. At this time, the symptoms were probably fever, chills, and muscle aches all over the body.

Yesterday, I saw on Youtube that other people also shared the process of playing Jiaosheng, and the following message made me feel emotional

 He said, It's like the truck ran over me

It's just a picture of my mood

It really hurts so much that you can't sleep, and you feel like something is flowing through your body and you can't extricate yourself.

My whole body was so sore that I felt that the bed was too soft, which would make me need to use my muscles to exert force. Once I opened the yoga mat, laid the floor directly on the floor, and lay down for a while before going back to bed.

About 11-12 o’clock in the evening, I have to officially go to sleep. In order not to think that I might not be able to sleep in the middle of the night, I first ate a CBD gummy to suppress the shock.

The quality of sleep was not very good all night, and I vaguely felt that my body was still in pain, and I would wake up in pain, but it was not as severe as it was a few hours ago.

day after the beating

The next day, when I came to Saturday, my body felt a little better, but it wasn't too good either.

There is also a regular temperature measurement, the body temperature goes up and down, there is still a fever, and then a relatively different side effect is sweating,

After sweating for the first time, the body temperature was normal at this time, I thought I was almost relieved,

But somehow, after a few hours (about a day and a half after the fight),

He started to have a slight fever again, took another painkiller to block it, and then broke out with sweat again, and the fever was officially subsided.

For the appetite part, continue to eat the stinky pot that was not eaten yesterday, and the appetite feels okay.

On Saturday night, I clearly felt that my right arm was very sore, and it continued to my right shoulder a little bit. It was probably the pain of bruises, which was still acceptable.

3rd day after beating

After two days, I got up at 10 am on Sunday and felt that my body was recovering well, about 70-80%.

There is only a slight headache left, and when the eyeballs turn, there will be a little intraocular pressure (continuous observation)

On this day, I also went to visit the American version of Don Quixote, and he is about to return to a living dragon!

The above is just my personal opinion and experience, I really never expected side effects to happen to me XD

Thank you also Teng for taking care of me, otherwise I should be like a corpse these two days......
