My mom was animated after her (BioNtech) shot, almost to the point of being giddy. I think some anxiousness was relieved with her getting it. This morning she worked out on her treadmill with me for 35 mins and hit a new PB in distance. No soreness, no fatigue; she can't even find where they gave her the jab. 
My mom felt horrible on Saturday after getting the 2nd shot on Friday but I guess that's good because they say that feeling horrible is a good sign because it means your immune system is kicking in strong.. My dad was the same way a day or so After his last shot too. Next up will be my wife if they ever schedule her.. There haven't been Any appointments open yet !!!!!

I’m still waiting to even be eligible to register here in my neck of the woods. Multiple people have suggested that I just lie about medical conditions (“your high blood pressure is cardiovascular disease! Right? Right?”). I can’t do it. Feeling awful about doing it wouldn’t be worth the outcome.

Integrity is important, Bob.
I got my first shot last week. Our state opened up to people over 50 last Tuesday. I called a local pharmacy and was able to get in the next day.
I'm eligible for the second on the 14th but the scheduling set me up on the 21st.

Wifey got her first shot last night; no after effects at all and she can't even find where she got the needle. Her 2nd shot is now booked for the end of July, which is probably when I will be allowed to get my 1st one. Due to vaccine supply chain issues, we get the 2nd shot after 4 months.
WHOA! Does that effect efficacy at all? I didn't know places where doing that. Here they are trying to schedule second dose to the day!

Yup, 4 months (16 weeks actually) is not a typo. The 2nd shot is scheduled as part of the 1st shot's process.

8 Things to Know Before Your Second COVID-19 Vaccine
Here are 8 things to know about the second dose of the vaccine. Side effects may be stronger than after the first dose, and immunity isn’t immediate.
3. The timing between doses doesn't need to be exact
The second dose of the Pfizer shot is supposed to be given 21 days after the first; for Moderna, the recommended interval between doses is 28 days.However, if you can't get an appointment on the exact day — or if you have to miss your scheduled appointment for some reason — the CDC does allow some wiggle room. Although the agency recommends trying to stick to the suggested interval, it says the second dose can be given up to six weeks after the first.
If your appointment is scheduled earlier than the recommended date, ask for a later appointment, Schaffner advises. “Your immune response will work perfectly well if you take more time,” he says. “But if you do it too early, the second dose may not invoke an optimal response.”

Timing of the second Covid vaccine doesn't need to be exact. Just get it, experts say.
It's OK if you can't get the second dose right away. But experts strongly recommend getting it as soon as you can.

"The second dose should be administered as close to the recommended interval as possible," the CDC said in an update to its website Thursday. "However, if it is not feasible to adhere to the recommended interval, the second dose of Pfizer-BioNTech and Moderna Covid-19 vaccines may be scheduled for administration up to 6 weeks (42 days) after the first dose."
Rina Shah, group vice president of pharmacy operations and services at Walgreens, which plans to administer doses at its stores across the country, said that "patients can receive the second dose as long as it follows the immunization window," meaning that the second dose is given no earlier than the designated time frame.
"We encourage patients to schedule the second dose appointment as close to the earliest appropriate date, but a bit after is OK," Shah said.
That runs counter to the official guidance from the Food and Drug Administration and Pfizer-BioNTech and Moderna, the drugmakers behind the two vaccines currently available in the U.S., which states that two doses, given at specific intervals, are necessary for maximum protection. For Pfizer, that interval is 21 days; for Moderna, 28 days.
