My wife got her first shot about 2 1/2 weeks ago. Her arm was really sore and hot to the touch for a few days, but that was it for the side effects. The county health department made the appointment for the 2nd shot when she got the first one. They said not to call, to just show up at the appointed time. Knowing her, she will call. Just to make sure. In Florida anyone over 65 can get it. I'm only 60, but hoping to get mine soon if there are any extra shots at the end of the day. Small towns, that sort of thing can happen.
Also my cousin and his wife got theirs on Friday. Haven't heard from them.
