In VA, that gets you qualified as part of 1B. Hang in there. You're in the queue & should have your number called soon. In MD I was not considered essential under Phase 1. My doctor confirmed this and I refused to jump the line. I hate sitting and waiting for a notification as we are soooo close and want to be more proactive but I can't see spending all day on a Walgreen site.

Sticksboi05 Posted March 21, 2021 Share Posted March 21, 2021 Got Moderna No. 1 yesterday. So far just a sore arm, mostly shoulder. I'm hearing people delaying because they don't want Janssenn vaccine. If you know people who could get it, tell them to. The efficacy numbers are not equivalent and the analysis doesn't get into antibody vs. T-cell response. It's very possible that there are some benefits to JNJ even over the mRNA vaccines. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m the coordinator for a very large portion of the Navy and actually participate in the flag-level briefings as well as work on the crafting of the messaging. Considering all the shots we are getting used up and the % of people every day is going up, i dont think they will consider it mandatory until there is an ample supply left and the number finally plateaus. 29 minutes ago, TheGreatBuzz said: Cool.

goskins10 Posted March 21, 2021 Share Posted March 21, 2021 (edited) For those who have not gotten shot #1 yet, I got mine Thursday (Pfizer) . Only very mild side effect - sore arm mostly in the area of the shot. Not debilitating at all and was gone by yesterday morning. I get #2 3 weeks from tomorrow.

I've been a server/bartender for almost my entire adult life and wasn't considered "essential" here in GA, either...I waited my turn, they lowered the age of eligibility to 55, I went through the Emory system (all my docs from about 2010 are in the system), and I got scheduled. I'm keeping good thoughts for y'all...thanks for all you're doing for the industry. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These two statements don’t seem to agree with each other. As a strictly personal opinion, I don’t see it being mandatory anytime soon. Currently, they can’t make it mandatory until it is fully authorized instead of under an emergency authorization. Once it is fully authorized, we will see if they make it mandatory. I’d be surprised if they did though unless it somehow becomes less of a political issue. And for clarity, this is an opinion of what will happen, not what should happen.

As Buzz noted, the difference is whether or not a product is approved. The COVID-19 vaccine is being administered under emergency use, and is not fully approved, and thus can't bew made mandatory by the military. With the anthrax vaccine, the military was giving it before it was approved, and was subsequently ordered by a judge to cease administering it until it was approved (Link). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here's how you do it: log onto the CVS website at 11:55 and fill out all the pre-information. When the clock strikes 12, start typing in your city and nearby city names. Typically you'll find a nearby site pretty quickly right at 12. Then you just set up your appointment with your information. It was really simple - I was able to get most of my family in Virginia an appointment this way over the weekend. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After reading this I called the number. There did not appear to be a prompt to speak with an agent. The closest prompt I heard to my situation of being pre-registered but trying to book an appointment by phone was an option to change your pre-registration info. That prompts started with "this is not the number to register for a first appointment". So I'm back to being frustrated and I don't want this. I surely don't want to have to stay up until midnight after the MD game when I won't be the sharpest to book on CVS. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
