I want my Covid vaccine

[bronsin]

I want my Covid vaccine because I’m 64 years old and I have Parkinson’s. If I get Covid and it’s serious I could wind up in the nursing home. Ahead of time.

So I heard pharmacies like CVS, Walgreens, and Rite Aid are going to give us the vaccine. So I called him up and said “how do I sign up to get in line for the vaccine? “

None of them knew. There is no plan who gets the vaccine and when they get it. I’ve heard healthcare workers and the residents of nursing homes are first in line. The pharmacies don’t even know when they’re going to get the vaccine and what the protocol is for who gets it when and why.

I think the first two rounds (since the first round will not be enough) will go to the front line health workers. I believe 18-64 year olds are at the bottom of the list.

My suggestion would be to keep washing your hands properly, and if you do go out, just go out for essentials, and bring some hand sanitizer. Use it frequently, especially every time before you touch your phone or your face, and after you handle any money. Sanitize your phone when you get home. If possible, any purchases made online and delivered, let sit away from you (so in the garage, etc) for a week before fully handling. Keep wearing your mask, and make sure anyone you plan on speaking to wears theirs.

That’s pretty much what I’ve been doing all along. And without a vaccine the only option open to me. Of course even with the vaccine it might not work so you still have to take precautions

Yup. I'm doing the same thing. I even wipe down the table and chair I sit at during breaks at work every time I go there to sit down; even if people look at me like I'm crazy.

FWIW , my son is an ICU travel nurse and has been out of state working for months. He just left to come back home for two weeks, one day before the state he was in got the vaccine. He can't get the vaccine here and is hoping there will be a dose available from the first shipment when he returns to work in early January.

My wife works in a doctors office so today she went to get her vaccine. It was the Moderna one.

It took two hours and she said you would not be able to physically handle what they put you through going from room to room and in and out of the building.

One of my friends has a son who is a medic which is one step above the EMT he got his shot a week ago but recently took care of several people with Covid and now he has it. He is laid low, but still at home and hopefully will recover there.

I’m thinking even if you get the vaccine you still have to be really careful!

:eek:

A week isnt enough to build the antibody, it is estimated to take about 17 days.
And full effect is first 14 days after second dose you get 4 weeks after the first shot.
So about 45 days from first shot until you can lower the parades.
This is for the moderna, PB is a little shorter time if you get the second shot exactly after 21 days.

But now we have the british B117 mutation in Denmark and it is really scary if you look at how it has exploded in Ireland.

[bronsin]

Really scary indeed!

Of course most people recover quickly from it without problems.

Make sure you both get tested for HIV / AIDS 6 weeks from the vaccine

I had my first vaccination and go for my second on Saturday. I work in the health field. Our hospital has been giving Moderna. So far, the second dosage seems to cause you to feel ill for about a day. Another fellow was out three days post second vaccination, so everybody has different reactions.

Demand and supply can't seem to keep up for the lack of planning the previous administration performed. We got word our next delivery in February will include an extra 17% to accommodate falling short this month.

As a health service worker what do you think the most effective vaccine is?

[bronsin]

I got my Covid shot today. It was at the Blackwood community college mega site. Johnson and Johnson. That’s a New Jersey. Everything went like clockwork it was amazing how everything was coordinated

I hope the new strains of Covid don’t make the vaccination obsolete!

Excellent news! The more the merrier, everybody get out there and get the shot(s). They say it is the key to the return of normalcy. I got mine but I'm still abnormal.

As of April 1st, I'm fully vaccinated (Pfizer). Suffered side effects from the first shot and more from the second.

[bronsin]

So far no soreness, no infect at all.

But there’s always tomorrow! :cry:

[Kaotic Lazagna]

Just because you don't experience any body responses towards the vaccine doesn't mean it is not working. So don't think it's useless ;)

[bronsin]

A I don’t doubt it will work, just thankful I don’t have to suffer any ill effects.


:bow:

[stykerdk]

Congrats.
I am still waiting here in Denmark.
My father at 79 got his first shot last week with moderna, no side effects at all.
My mother 75 get first shot at friday, pfizer.

According to the plan I (49) will be noticed for booking between 3-16 may, but i dont know i that holds if AZ remains suspended.
But then if we say no thanks to AZ if they start to use it again, nobody knows how long we shall wait.
EU has really handled the buy of vaccines really bad.

From what I've read the J&J single shot vaccine is about the same effectiveness as the Pfizer when you only have the single, part 1 of 2 Pfizer shot done (about 80%). The Pfizer jumps to over 90% after the second shot. I had the Pfizer 2-dose vaccine administered in march, & didn't have any side effects from either shot, beyond a mildly sore arm the next day whenever I would raise my one arm at the shoulder.

I'm betting that soon it will be "recommended" that everyone have annual shots for Covid-19, just like for the Flu, to account for variants/mutations.

Highly likely in my non-professional opinion.

Another Bother some thing is despite widespread vaccinations there are still clusters of Covid in this country and all around the world

[bronsin]

I’ve had a reaction to my Johnson and Johnson vaccine. Kind of unusual and hopefully not serious. It’s called Covid toe. One of my toes turn purple! You can Google Covid toe and find out all about it!

[bronsin]

Is my Covid toe here is

[nortonfb]

Weird.
I had that.
Thought it was a spider bite.

Getting my first jab tomorrow (Friday) afternoon. It was supposed to be on Wednesday, but I ended up doing an unplanned trip on the Yaris. I covered 2500 km in 4 days. Maybe I should have taken photos and claimed this as a road trip....
