I am an Essential Worker in Hawaii.
I have completed the vaccination process and I would like to share with you how it went if I may.

I know the procedure may change in the future when the scope of vaccination coverage is expanded, but
in my case, I made an appointment online with Kaiser. When you make an appointment online, you will answer a few questions.
The questions include "Have you ever had coronavirus ？?", "Are you feeling unwell ？?", and "Have you had any concentrated contact ？?".
After that, you will see several available appointment dates and times on the screen, choose the date and time that is convenient for you, and your appointment scheduling is complete.

On the day of the inoculation, in addition to the ID, I needed either a recent pay stub （ with the company's name on it ） or
an ID proving that I was an Essential Business employee, in order to prove I was an Essential Worker.
However, they did not specifically confirm that the company was Essential Business by looking at the company name, they just asked ？ what kind of company that was over there and I answered that question.
You get a form to fill out at the reception desk, where you answer the same questions that you answered online.
After filling out the form and handing it to the receptionist, you are called in a short while later, seated in a chair, and asked which arm you want to hit, and they hit you on the arm of your choice.

You can also make an appointment at Long's or Hawaii Pacific Health if you are eligible for the vaccination, but
I have not used those places, so I don't know exactly how.
Also, I did not know what kind of vaccine （ Pfizer, Modela, etc. ） until I was given it.
However, there was some news that we will be able to choose in the future, so maybe we will be able to choose the type of vaccine.

I believe that each individual has his/her own opinion about vaccination, so it would be good for you to make your choice after doing some research on your own.

I only hope that your current situation will get better soon.

Thank you for your prompt instruction. Moreover, I appreciate your very detailed information ♪

I am on temporary layoff so I do not think I will be inoculated early in my profession. I have not heard anything from the company either. I am waiting to become eligible age.

I thought I had to register at the Hawaii State Department of Health site, but I didn't. Thanks to hawaii, I now know ！
I really appreciate you taking time out of your busy life as an essential worker to give me the details. Thank you very much for your detailed information. It was very helpful.


I would be very happy if you could continue to give us some advice and cautions about vaccination from those who have been vaccinated.
Thank you very much.

Hello.
I am also part time, but I got my vaccinations in February in the Essential Worker area, and I booked them through the Hawaii Pacific helth website.
The process is almost the same as #2 Hawaii.
In my case, I could not choose the type of vaccine and it was Pfizer.

I was advised to vaccinate the non-dominant arm, so I vaccinated the non-dominant arm.
The first time, the inoculation site was sore for a couple of days, but nothing serious.
Three weeks later for the second inoculation, I was fine on the day, but developed a fever of 39 degrees Celsius in the middle of the night. I was told to take an over-the-counter painkiller, but when the medicine wore off, the fever rose, and it was tough for two whole days.
My colleagues also had some fever, chills, headache, and post-inoculation pain. These are to be expected.
But some people said it didn't hurt at all.

I hope things will be better now that Hawaii residents will be able to get the shot by the end of May.

Thank you for your experience.
I'm sorry you had a hard time after the second vaccination ！
I'm sorry you had a high fever.
I think it would be better to keep your schedule as short as possible, especially after the second round, in case of adverse reactions.

I have yet to meet anyone around me who has actually had the vaccination, so hearing your stories has made me feel a little more prepared.

I guess you are the non-dominant arm ！
In my case, even if I manage to get an appointment, there is a high possibility that I will not be able to understand ？ what they will say ？ on the day … even if it is a small thing, it would be really helpful to know. It would be really helpful if you could tell me even if it's a small thing.
Thank you ♪


I hope my turn will come soon ….

Good evening. In my case, I am in Queens, and if you search for "queen's medical center covid vaccine" on Google, you can find a special website. If it is your turn to be vaccinated, you can make an appointment on that site. I believe the vaccine will be administered at the Blaisdell site. At the moment, Essential Worker is Pfizer (vaccinated at the hospital. Others will be given the moderna vaccine at Blaisdell, but this will change.

The day's interactions include
1, check-in
2, fill out questionnaire
3, immunization
4, record and next appointment
5, 15 or 30 minutes waiting time (for those with allergy history 30 minutes)

The exchange will include:
- Do not rub the area where you received the vaccination (it is ok to move it)
- Explanation of the next schedule (it varies slightly depending on the vaccine)
- You will receive a vaccine card (be sure to bring it with you the second time you receive the vaccine) - The next appointment will be held in the same room as the first time you receive the vaccination.
- If you are planning to take other vaccines, leave at least 2 weeks between vaccines.
- Consult your doctor about the use of antipyretic/painkiller (Tylenol)

It is recommended that you make your second appointment while you are at the vaccine site. If you need to change it, we recommend that you create an account with mychart, a train chart system.


This is what I was told by a doctor at CASTLE, but CASTLE has a waiting list and you can have vaccines given to you that are about to be discarded due to not being used. I don't know how to register, but if you are interested, call them and they may be able to tell you.

Thank you for the detailed information. I think not only me but also those who are about to be inoculated will be relieved to know the process of inoculation.

I will do my best to fill in the questionnaire on the day of the vaccination, using the translation function on my phone ^^;
I see that the second vaccination can be reserved on the day of the first vaccination. I will try to do so, because it is the safest way to make an appointment on the spot.

Again, thank you hawaii, nuiloamama, and Queens for all the various information. m(_ _ _)m

Until this morning, I wonder where I can make an appointment. Until this morning, I was worried about where to make an appointment and whether I would be asked many questions on the day of the vaccination ？ but after hearing about your experience, I feel much more prepared.
Thank you so much for taking your precious time to comment.

May the vaccinations be given promptly to those who wish to be vaccinated and
may you be able to return to your normal life soon ♪.

I saw that others have written in and remembered a few things.

For the second appointment, on the day of the first vaccination, you fill out a questionnaire and give it to the receptionist, who will ask you the date of the second vaccination.
If the date and time is convenient for you, they will write the date and time on the Vaccine Card （ handwritten ） where it says "2nd vaccination" and give it to you.
If it is not convenient for you, they will tell you another available date, and if it is okay, they will make an appointment for you for that date and time.
You will need to bring the card with you for the second vaccination.

Also, after the vaccination, you will be taken to a waiting room-like room where you will wait for 15 minutes.
After 15 minutes, you will be told that you may go out on your own, so if there is nothing unusual after 15 minutes of waiting, you can go home.

The above is for Kaiser, but you can make a reservation even if you are not a member. If you drive, parking is free.

We hope this helps.

Johnson ＆ Johnson vaccination is now available, which means that I am getting close to the category where I can be vaccinated.
I would like to take the Johnson ＆ Johnson at that time, but I was wondering
where can I get the Johnson ＆ Johnson vaccination in the Honolulu area ？
J ＆ J vaccination available venue ・ Hospitals ・ Please let us know if you know how to make an appointment.
*In case you are wondering, I checked CVS （ Longs ） site, which I heard deals with J ＆ J vaccine, and at this moment
it is for people over 65 years old, people under 65 years old but with pre-existing conditions and people who fall under 1C category.
I am in the 1C category, but LONGS says it is only for educators, so I could not make a reservation.

When I was shopping at Safeway in the evening, I was asked if I would like to have the first dose of vaccine ？, as I had some left over and would have to dispose of it if I didn't. I got the first dose. I was in a room at Safeway where they do the Flu shot, and the pharmacist gave me the vaccination, and I waited 15 minutes after the vaccination to come back.

I was fine the day of the vaccination and the next day, but on the third day after the vaccination, I had mild cold-like symptoms, including a light headache, cough, runny nose, and slight fever, but it went away quickly.

Incidentally, I had been asked before, while walking Neil Blaisdell, if I would like to have the shot ？. At that time, I was not ready for it, so I declined, but this time I had to go to Japan for some business, so I asked him to play.

I received an e-mail with the schedule for the second shot right after the vaccination.

If you are an Essential Worker but are 1c and not working in a hotel, restaurant or bar, you can register for the waiting list at Blaisdell. I just registered myself.
https://covid.queens.org/vaccine/
on page
If you do not fall into one of the above approved categories, you are welcome to sign up for our waitlist under "Non-Health Care Essential Workers". Under the
"Non-Health Care Essential Workers" button, you can register by entering your name and email phone number.
Inoculations are 5 ； 30-6 ： 30PM and you can register if you can be at the venue within 30 minutes of being contacted.
I assume this is to avoid wasting the extra vaccine on that day, but if you have time in your schedule,
please register.
My husband is going to the mainland US and just got his first dose and I'm worried about him after he gets back so I decided to take it too.
