Covid Vaccine Updates and General Discussion About Vaccines

[Chi84]

I posted this in the main Covid thread first but there is a Covid denier party going on there so will likely get buried in pages of the same debate.

You should check back in. The debate has now turned to whether fire safety codes should be abolished. Not kidding.

Next phase in Ohio’s COVID-19 vaccinations opens Thursday; here’s who eligible

COLUMBUS (WCMH) — More vaccine on its way to Ohio, as well as existing stocks, mean that Gov. Mike DeWine has opened up Phase 1C and Phase 2 eligibility. On Monday, DeWine announced a vaccine…

Well I believe this is good news for Helena and her family, since it looks like T1 diabetics will be eligible for the vaccine in a few days (unless I'm going crazy and no one in your family is T1 diabetic, in which case...my bad!). So that's very exciting!

Grocery store workers are still lot included. I'm starting to think we probably won't be until the vaccines are open to the general public. C'est la vie. Hopefully they can at least get cancer patients in there soon.

I wonder how fast J&J will go out. We have appointments this week for first dose, I'm guessing that's too soon to possibly get J&J. We'll find out soon enough.

It looks to be fast and furious. Friends and family are now starting to get multiple text / email messages to schedule vaccines. I think with J&J coming onboard surely helps more get vaccinated. Happy days are near ahead!!

Congratulations!

As expected, now that we are sufficiently far from the big ice storm, we are now seeing the case rate and death rate resume their declines. Stay the course!

Joe Biden just announced that we will have enough vaccine supply to vaccinate every adult American by the end of May, two months earlier than previously predicted. Excellent news!

I really do think so. I am so excited for summer!

Now I feel like I used to when I'd score a FP+ I wanted because I just got an appt for my mom for TOMORROW at a local pharmacy.
She did have one for March 15th but it was a 45 minute drive so she's happy its only 15 minutes away now.

And just like that I was able to find one for myself 2 minutes away for TOMORROW.

The Mexican President is apparently calling Pres. Biden to ask for vaccine today. I’m sure they can have some of our AZ shots...might as well play nice with our neighbor.

No USA vaccines for Mexico or Canada. This was in the news a couple of days ago.

Wonder what we will do with our surplus. Toss it in the freezer this summer until kids can get them?

Slight headache and fatigue last night, but nothing an early bedtime couldn’t resolve.

Arm pain today is admittedly worse than the flu shot for me, but still, no big deal. I get a day off from working out

On to dose 2 in 20 days!

Ironically, I drove by the Pfizer Clinical Research Unit in New Haven on the way home.

Getting my 1st vaccine today. Hubby had just slight arm soreness from his. My arm usually gets very swollen from flu shot. Hoping I have nothing, though I wouldn't mind a day off from working out either.

I wonder with this increase in vaccines AND if states like Texas and Mississippi opening and we don’t get a spike if we get characters and fireworks back for the 50th. This is exciting news!!!

For the 50th?

That is 100% the plan. Fireworks and meet and greets.

The question is how much can they move that up?

I think we may have Independence Day fireworks at WDW.

That would be great! Another version of independence!

Yes that's my hope.
Seems like we are now on track to have a much more normal summer overall including at Disney.
Locally all the county fairs released dates and said its a go unless something crazy happens.
Not sure about anyone else but last fair season I certainly didn't think the next fair season was going to be a "hopefully". I thought it was a definite until Fall came around and cases were on the rise.

BTW going to get my first shot soon.
I'll update with side effects.
