I got my shot today. Pharmacist said the 16 oz water is a general suggestion for any vaccination. According to her, it reduces side effects. I had never heard that before. Might be some truth in it, I don't even have a sore arm (yet?).

Also, my insurance company had not yet updated their system for the 3rd dose, so I didn't get approved at first. The pharmacist ran it as a repeated 2nd dose. She said some insurances updated on Saturday, and others like mine, are still working on it.

I sent the information to Mayo via my patient portal. It is easy to photograph the updated Record card and attach it to message to transplant nurse.
