88 years old, we are headed to the VA.

they said he has to stay for 30 minutes afterwards to watch for side effects.

i don’t like him being a guinea pig, but it’s his call. He thinks once he gets the shot, everything will go back to normal.

My wife is getting Her second dose Wensday.
She had zero affects also

Just made the two appointments through MY Ochsner account. Much like making any other appointment. Didn't get a prior notice to do so, but met the current requirements to get them.

My father is 70 and a Navy Veteran. Is the My Chart app the only way to check his availability to receive the vaccine?
I refuse to get it myself. But he wants it because of his age and the fact that he spends so much time with his grandkids. My sister is a nurse and has had her first shot already. No side effects. Yet.

You need to call your closest VA to get on the list. You will be asked a series of questions to determine your priority.

My father who is a 101 year WWII vet got his from the VA last Saturday, no side effects for him. My son who is pulmonologist for the VA and UMMC Jackson MS got his two weeks ago. He had some side effects for two days.
