Opening Day, not so much.
Both of my favorite Major League Baseball teams had their Opening Day games postponed today -- the Red Sox for rain up in Boston, the Nationals for several covid-19 positive tests. Boston will play tomorrow, but who knows about Washington?
I am still feeling no effects from the first Pfizer jab. However, I have a slight bruise from the blood test at the doctor's office on March 25.
I wish I could get R. to get his vaccine. He is 69 years old and lives in Loudoun County, Virginia. He has been eligible for a while now, and the rest of the Virginia adult populace will become eligible on April 18, so there will be another rush. But R. just complains darkly about how "Fairfax County has been prioritized for vaccinations." I tell him I've heard no such things on the news. Maybe Fairfax County represents all the parts of political liberalism that he hates so much.
Honestly, I have no idea where R. even gets his news these days. He doesn't own a TV set. The radio in his 1993 Honda Accord has been busted for years. He says the internet connection to his apartment is very poor and he can't get online very often, but his ADSL provider cannot fix it because that would require him to let them into his apartment during business hours, but he can't possibly take the time off to do that because he is under so much time pressure at work, yadda yadda yadda. So he is living as if this is still 1993. Except ... it's NOT 1993 anymore.

But people over 65 should be able to get appointments at pharmacies (mostly CVS) if they persist.
