China Posted March 31, 2021 Share Posted March 31, 2021 Was in a Kroger in Appomattox this afternoon and the pharmacist was walking around asking customers if they wanted a shot as it was near the end of the day and they had unused shots available. Having had ours (my wife both and me the first injection), we turned her down. Asked if our daughter, who is 15, could get one but she said no because the Moderna shots she had aren’t approved for use for those under 18. I hope she found somebody to inject so the vaccine didn’t go to waste. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tshile Posted March 31, 2021 Share Posted March 31, 2021 J&J Friday. Super stoked finally getting it done. glad the cdc guidance is you don’t need to social distance or wear masks in small groups with other vaccinated people. Obviously we’re not 100% normal but it’ll feel good to just take that step. I consider it a big step. 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My sister in law got hers that way. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah 2 or so weeks after the first dose of Moderna/Pfizer you have some immunity. The second dose (3 or 4 weeks later) improves the immunity and possibly length of. But you have to wait another 2 or so weeks after that 2nd dose to get all those benefits. I am between doses right now. Basically, what I've read is that the first dose starts the process of building up protection in your body. The second dose works to greatly impove this protection (which is why that 2nd dose kicks some people's asses).

Califan007 The Constipated Posted March 31, 2021 Share Posted March 31, 2021 Over 100 fully vaccinated people contract COVID-19 in Washington state, officials say Over 100 people in Washington state have tested positive for COVID-19 more than two weeks after becoming fully vaccinated against the disease, officials said. The Washington State Department of Health is investigating reports of the so-called breakthrough cases, which it said are expected with any vaccine. Out of the 1.2 million people who are fully vaccinated against COVID-19 in Washington, epidemiologists have reported evidence of 102 breakthrough cases in 18 counties since Feb. 1, representing less than 0.01% of all fully vaccinated individuals in the northwestern U.S. state. Most cases were patients who experienced only mild symptoms, if any, according to a press release from the Washington State Department of Health. However, at least eight people with breakthrough cases have been hospitalized. The Washington State Department of Health is also investigating two potential breakthrough cases where the individuals died. Both patients were over 80 years old and suffered from underlying health issues. https://www.yahoo.com/gma/over-100-fully-vaccinated-people-115339262.html 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LadySkinsFan Posted March 31, 2021 Share Posted March 31, 2021 Thus the importance for fully vaccinated people to continue to wear masks and practice social distancing. Until we have more people vaccinated and the spikes from unvaccinated people who don't wear masks and/or practice social distancing die down to near zero, and we see more variations of Covid emerge get under control, no one is really safe. There are a lot of stupid people in the United States. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NoCalMike Posted March 31, 2021 Share Posted March 31, 2021 I wouldn't say driving into Trump counties is a "liberal trick" so much as the people in those counties are not signing up to get vaccinated so the appointments are just sitting there to be filled by other folks? Also, like others have mentioned the quickest way to render the vaccines less effective are for people to continue acting irresponsible, especially younger healthy folks who are the most likely to be prime hosts for variations and mutations of the virus. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's astounding. It's frankly a double-win for us. People with means can get vaccinated, and the city can focus its resources on the communities in the city that don't have the means.

China Posted April 1, 2021 Share Posted April 1, 2021 Demand for vaccines is already waning in some parts of the country Some states are expanding vaccine eligibility partially because of a troubling reason: Not enough people want to get vaccinated. What we're watching: Vaccine supplies are still limited, but they're already outpacing demand in some parts of the country, especially rural areas. And that could be a bad sign for the future. Where it stands: 14 states have made all adults eligible to receive a coronavirus vaccine, and the vast majority have said they will do so by or before President Biden's May 1 goal. Many local governments have also broadened their own eligibility criteria, and demand can vary significantly within states. Those states and cities generally have below-average vaccine demand compared to the rest of the country, and officials say they're letting more people in simply because they weren't getting enough sign-ups. What they're saying: Vaccine appointments "are not being snapped up in 10 minutes like they were a month ago,” Nirav Shah, director of Maine’s Center for Disease Control and Prevention and the president of the Association of State and Territorial Health Officials, told the Washington Post. “This I take as the very earliest sign that we are shifting from urgency to hesitancy,” he added. "One of the reasons that we are pushing forward on expanding eligibility is because our uptake has been lower than expected," Tennessee's state health commissioner, Lisa Piercey, recently told News 5.
