    Covid Vaccine Updates and General Discussion About Vaccines

    My daughter detests shots. She was so very nervous, chattering up a storm. She did not even realize the nurse gave her the shot until the nurse was putting a bandaid on it. No pinching skin- just cleaned the area Needle seemed "thinner" than the flu shot needle. Daughter had minimal arm...

    Covid Vaccine Updates and General Discussion About Vaccines

    Don't be nervous. My special needs daughter is nervous about everything, and handled it like a trooper. She loved talking to all the national guard people there. And the nurse who gave the shot was very compassionate, as was the man who signed her in before the shot.

    New to DAS..

    We also get a DAS for my daughter, who has a seizure disorder (brain tumor x 2) and speech language/developmental disabilities. She also looks "normal" until she speaks or has a seizure (not grand mal). We HAVE had people comment to our faces on why we are "cutting the line" at airports...

    Covid Vaccine Updates and General Discussion About Vaccines

    Literally just got home from my Pfizer shot. Was at NY's Aqueduct Racetrack - state run site. Very well organized. Was in and out in 25 minutes for 2 of us to get our vaccines, which included 15 minutes of sitting time in a dedicated area to make sure we tolerated the shots. Took way...

    Covid Vaccine Updates and General Discussion About Vaccines

    Getting my 1st vaccine today. Hubby had just slight arm soreness from his. My arm usually gets very swollen from flu shot. Hoping I have nothing, though I wouldn't mind a day off from working out either.

    Disney in May?

    We are going May 1-6, and are hoping for smaller crowds, even though we are arriving on a Saturday. Have reservation for MK, but Won't be there (staying at CR and will walk there) until early afternoon, so are hoping the crowds lessen a bit by then.

    Covid Vaccine Updates and General Discussion About Vaccines

    Just saw this- don't know when your first shot is, but maybe this is sooner. Eligible New Yorkers can start making appointments at New York/FEMA mass vaccination sites in Buffalo, Rochester, Albany and Yonkers. These four sites open March 3 and appointments are initially reserved for eligible...

    Covid Vaccine Updates and General Discussion About Vaccines

    They are doing that in city and Long Island also. Supposedly they may open it up to more people (any NYers) when they think the flow of people who "qualify" slows down.

    Covid Vaccine Updates and General Discussion About Vaccines

    We were lucky enough to get appts the day they opened them up to NYers with underlying medical conditions. My husband got his Pfizer shot this past Friday, I have mine next Wed., and my daughter has hers next Friday. After finally getting through on the phone my husband also got his brother...

    Universal Stay with a few Disney Days (trip observations and thoughts)

    Thanks for the review. We are heading to Disney (after 4 cancellations due to covid) May 1. My family will have our vaccinations by then (getting 1st dose next week) and plan on being as careful as possible. My main worry is "other" people who may not follow the social distancing, etc.

    Describe your first trip to WDW. How old were you? What year was it?

    My first visit was in 1976. I was 18 years old. My family did not have any money to spend on vacations. In lieu of any kind of high school graduation present/party/money I asked that we go to Disneyworld. My dad did not want to go, so I took my mom (first time there for her at age 48) and my...

    Coronavirus and Walt Disney World general discussion

    My daughter had covid the beginning of last March. Got antibodies tested, donated plasma as she had antibodies. Had to have a covid test (negative) December upon returning to NY from a short vacay in Florida. Had another antibody test done just for the heck of it at same time. Guess what -...

    lol - yes! We feel "alive" again as we may be able to open up our lives a bit more after the vaccine.

    Coronavirus and Walt Disney World general discussion

    NY just opened up vaccines for underlying medical conditions. After more than 12 hours of trying on Sunday (the day it opened) we finally got appts for the first week of March! So excited. Now we don't have to cancel our 5/1 Disney vacay, which has been cancelled 4x already! And we will...

    Coronavirus and Walt Disney World general discussion

    TY for update. 4/6 definitely better than none. Maybe with Biden increasing the amount of dosages we won't have to wait until Sept. Maybe just June. Will still have to cancel our May Disneyworld vacay if no shots.

    Coronavirus and Walt Disney World general discussion

    Hope they get it. My aunt was supposed to get her shot tomorrow (Tuesday) at a church in Hempstead. Got a call last night that it was cancelled because they ran out of vaccine and she has to re-schedule, which was a pain in the butt last time. Terrible.

    Coronavirus and Walt Disney World general discussion

    I just want a vaccination. The chances of my family and myself getting one before May here in NY is slight - even with 3 of us having pretty severe pre-existing conditions - none due to our lifestyle/choices. Guess we will be cancelling our Disneyworld trip (5/1) for the 4th time.....
