I am a little proud of my nagging because I wore DH down from "not getting vaccinated" (even though I did in Dec/Jan), to "maybe when it's FDA approved" to "okay fine". I scheduled it for him for Walgreens this afternoon because I want to get him to get at least the first dose (Pfizer) before he changes his mind or is "too busy" or whatever.
So the second dose I scheduled for him for May 30th. Except that we are leaving for Florida on June 1 (driving). We won't really be around people in Florida (condo on beach, we will do take out for the most part). So....would you still have him get it May 30th and cross your fingers he doesn't have side effects or side effects while we are driving?! Or just wait until we get back? (We are only staying a few days because kids are doing summer school, so it would only be slightly more than a week "late".) I am leaning towards having him wait until we get back. I'm afraid if he has bad side effects while we are in the car for 11 hrs I'll never hear the end of it and he'll never get any boosters or anything (which he still might not anyway.) On the other hand, then he'll have both shots done.
Even though he's a grown man he won't know the difference if I tell him to go get it again after our trip vs. before. (I made the appointments). I don't really want to stress the side effects before I've decided what the best way to go probably is. (And it's not like he's oblivious. He knows my mom felt pretty crappy for like 2 days after her second dose of Moderna.)
Also anyone with difficulty getting vaccine appointments still should come to Missouri. I checked yesterday afternoon and just through Walgreens there is over 100 doses/appointments available to us within 10 miles I'm glad it was easy to schedule, quickly, but makes me sad.
ETA: Anyone with experience getting Walgreens to allow the second vaccine a few days sooner to avoid this? I don't think the system let me schedule it before the 30th, can DH ask when he goes or do we need to find somewhere else to do the second dose a day or two sooner?
