Narrative:
Flying into san; the marine fog bank just came in. As we were intercepting the course for the RNAV Y 27 approach several planes ahead of us all went around. Tower gave us a short delay vector off the course and re cleared us on the localizer 27 approach. We did a very quick and dirty brief and quickly briefed flying managed/selected with another go around brief. I loaded the FMC while the captain flew. I felt we were being rushed with the last minute approach change and on top of that it was only my third flight [in the last month]. I was slower than normal and a bit rusty as well. I didn't notice that the derived decision altitude (dda) I set (730) was above the 500 feet AGL call out. As we neared the minimums I was looking to make the 500 feet call and completely missed the 100 feet above 'approaching minimums' call and subsequently was late with the 'minimums' call also. The captain called 'minimums' for me followed by his 'going around' call. He pushed the thrust levers up to the go around detent; called flaps 3 and began to pitch up. I was still a second or two behind him thinking about the minimums call I just messed up and didn't immediately retract the flaps. Before I could set the flaps to three; the captain said the runway was in sight and that he was going to land. We had hit a hole in the clouds and the runway was there. We were still configured and in position make a safe landing.

We did a very quick and dirty brief and quickly briefed flying managed/selected with another go around brief. I loaded the FMC while the Captain flew.
