I'm scared about a larger spike for USA for winter 2021-2022 as Christmas too, is really gonna happen or not?For what it’s worth it looks like case growth in FL has really slowed down. Still maybe increasing but at a much slower rate. The week over week change in the 7 day average is up less than 1%. Could be a small plateua or hopefully the peak and we start to see the cases go down again. Here’s to hoping
On a local front our cases look like they have plateaued this week too. Still too soon to call it, but looking better. We peaked at right around 10 cases per 100,000. It’s crazy that we were under 0.5 cases per 100,000. I do worry the winter could be a larger spike but hopefully kids 5-11 are vaccinated and we are well into the boosters for the highest risk people before that hits.
Next month should kids 5-11 will be vaccinating as people getting boosters through October-December/January. @GoofGoof
If you are scared get your booster shot after Sept 20 and when eligible

Kids 5-11 should get approved in October and since the higher risk people were vaccinated prior to the end of April Theu should all have a booster by the end of the year. So that‘s going in our favor, but we need to get more unvaccinated people in and as soon as possible.

If kids 5-11 got approved in October, as unvaccinated people will getting vaccinated by Christmas aka Winter then there won't be a larger spike or future spikes anymore by Winter. @GoofGoof

Effectiveness of Pfizer-BioNTech and Moderna Vaccines in...
COVID-19 mRNA vaccines, Pfizer-BioNTech and Moderna, are effective against infection among nursing home residents, but effectiveness declined in recent months.
www.cdc.gov
I'm 8 months on 10/5 since my second Moderna - our Disney trips starts 10/20.
I'm already bugging my employer about my booster...(I work at a hospital, but not a clinician, so not sure if I'll have to wait).
If you had Moderna, does Moderna need to be your booster?
I either want it 2 weeks before my vacation or I'll wait until after. I got Covid arm last time 10 days after my shot!

That's correct. Moderna / Moderna booster , Pfizer / Pfizer booster. It was easy peasy scheduling online for my eligible now mother for her booster ( Pfizer ) at the pharmacy for next week. Are locations going to hold all of us to that 8 month deal to get a booster? Some may try to get it earlier than 8 months.

Comparison of two highly-effective mRNA vaccines for COVID-19 during periods of Alpha and Delta variant prevalence
Although clinical trials and real-world studies have affirmed the effectiveness and safety of the FDA-authorized COVID-19 vaccines, reports of breakthrough infections and persistent emergence of new variants highlight the need to vigilantly monitor the effectiveness of these vaccines. Here we...

I worry because while Moderna was easier to get way early in the game, I feel like everyone now has Pfizer only, my hospital does!
But my hospital gave us all Moderna in the beginning, so I'm hoping they are figuring that back in.
I suppose when the time gets closer, I will "shop" around and see who has Moderna and just schedule. I don't have to go through work-it was just easier.
That would be two weeks before I would be due to fly to orlando. If I can get a booster on the 20th I certainly will. Unless they stick to the 8 month minimum part. Otherwise, I am sure every pharmacy in the area will be inundated with phone calls.
What you said is true. A lot of Pfizer, short on Moderna in pharmacies.
Argh.
Now I just got competitive butterflies in my stomach.
I WILL FIND YOU MODERNA!!!
I’ll agree, we don’t need the government to dictate every scenario. But, it would be nice if they helped with the tools and information. They don’t even need to do it all. That means states, doesn’t have to be federal, working on how to expose vaccination information from their vaccine registries. Private companies can work on how to deal with cross state multi jurisdiction checking them.
Likewise, something like a health department rating for business. That outdoor beer garden gets an A+ for ventilation while the hole in the wall basement bar, not so much. Then, customers could use the knowledge and vaccine requirements to make judgements. The beer garden, who cares if they check. The bar, customers may not care, but they probably should. That way businesses can compete on if vaccination status is important or competitive or not. Different for different ones.

They say it’s preferable to get the same vaccine for your booster shot as what you got first time already. But, if not available or you can’t get it for some other reason, then you can get the other. Read it here and also somewhere else that I can’t find right now.
U.S. will begin wide distribution of Covid booster shots next month, saying vaccine protection wanes over time
U.S. agencies are preparing to offer booster shots to all eligible Americans beginning the week of Sept. 20.

CVS has an option for currently eligible to click a radio button for their manufacturer. In my area, there is one location with Moderna for my wife’s shot. The rest are Pfizer locations.
