I contacted the local VA clinic and was told there was a nationwide shortage and they have no idea when it might be available.

Finally got a call after 8 months on the waiting list. Got the first shot today, along with the +1. Got them at Walgreens. Her insurance is different than mine, her shot was $85 and mine was $166. Been 6 hours, my arm is a bit sore but not more than other shots I've had.

Yesterday my arm was pretty sore, right at the injection site. Today is better, but I would say this is the longest lasting effect from a shot I remember.
The shot that hurt the worst, at the time of injection was the Hepatitis A shot I had before going to Cambodia, Thailand and Vietnam in January.

How's that arm today, Dean? My soreness and the redness lasted about four days both times.

The second shot made my shoulder hurt more than did the first one. Fourth day is still painful. Maybe slightly better, though. Glad it's done...
