I was in CVS anyway and saw in the back where people were getting shots. I asked if they had any extra or if there was a list I could get put on. They said at the time, they didn't have extra but they would put me on their list to be called should there be extra another day. They took my name, age and telephone number.
A few days later, they called and I got the first shot. They had about 6 other people there that they called to come in at that time. I'll go back soon for the 2nd shot. I'll be glad to be done with it.
The DHEC phone number worked great when helping my mom get an appt but I wasn't as successful when I tried for my appt.
Don't forget to take your vaccine card after you've gotten your vaccines and show it at Krispy Kreme. You can go once a day for the rest of 2021 for a free donut.
I had given up and was about to take my mom up on going to Bamberg where she lives to go to their Thursday vaccine-a-thon when my spouse’s brother and sister-in-law in Aiken said their computers, some speed-typing and perseverance should snag us some appointments here. After their first day of trying, they called to apologize and said it kicked their butt, but that they were determined (some sort of tax write-off for helping people? IDK - something like that). So the next day we got email confirmation of our appointments at a local Publix. Someone on Facebook was giving me a hard time, missing my point that it shouldn’t be so hard and that it doesn’t make sense to have to find out the hard way by word of mouth that the rural places were the way to go, without an appointment - just get up early, pick a town 90 minutes away, and go for it. I told them I love driving to rural places and visiting, but that when we’re in a pandemic and I’ve waited my turn age-wise, why should I expect, and why should I know without hearing about it by word of mouth, that I would be taking a day trip to who knows where to get vaccinated? They need to do better next time.
Not sure if this has been mentioned before but the way to get one through CVS is going through their website registration just past midnight. That's when all the appointments open up for as early as four days from registering. But you have to get there at that time as all the slots run out a few minutes later, and I imagine it's going to be worse now that it's going to be open to everyone. That's how did it anyway. I went into the system 12:01am Wednesday and got my first Moderna shot this morning.
At least I think I got it because it was the most uneventful thing ever. Barely felt the needle, didn't feel any liquid going into my arm, and the whole thing lasted less than three seconds. I'm actually super suspicious that they placeboed me. Anyone else have had the Moderna and is willing to reassure me?

My daughter found the same thing at Walmart's website. At midnight they release a new set of available appointments. She got her first shot a week ago or so. I got the second shot about 10 days ago and aside from a sore shoulder both times, I had no side effects. I thought the same thing at the time... I was expecting something with a bit of pain to it but it felt like nearly nothing. The sore shoulder was unexpected though. It was sore enough that I didn't sleep on that side for a night or two. My daughter and I both received the Moderna version.
Got my first Moderna last Friday afternoon at Walmart Neighborhood Market on Red Bank Rd in Goose Creek. Waited maybe 30-45 minutes in the store for it. Only side effect was a swollen area where the shot went and a sore arm for a couple days.

The more data that comes out, the better it looks for the Moderna and Pfizer vaccines efficacy wise.
"The coronavirus vaccines made by Moderna and Pfizer-BioNTech are proving highly effective at preventing symptomatic and asymptomatic infections under real-world conditions, federal health researchers reported on Monday.
Consistent with clinical trial data, a two-dose regimen prevented 90 percent of infections by two weeks after the second shot. One dose prevented 80 percent of infections by two weeks after vaccination."
"Scientists have debated whether vaccinated people may still get asymptomatic infections and transmit the virus to others. The new study, by researchers at the C.D.C., suggested that since infections were so rare, transmission is likely rare, too."

Had Moderna shot today and it was the same experience so I think you’re fine!
