Moderna gets FDA OK for two changes to get extra vaccine doses from each vial

The dosing updates should help bolster U.S. supplies and speed vaccinations as the U.S. nears 100 million inoculations against COVID-19.

My dental assistant had to cut back to working only a half day recently because of a back issue. My wife, an RDA for over 26 years, has been filling in for her. Since my daughter has gotten sick, my wife is no longer available, and I have had to hire someone in a pinch. The best candidate available was a 19 yo with no experience, but a healthy dose of desire.

I hired the new girl yesterday. She starts Monday. The point of all this is I was able to arrange to get her a vaccine yesterday by simply calling a pharmacist that I knew was giving vaccines.

I don't expect to ever reach 80% vaccinated in this area. We are at the point now where if you really want the vaccine you can get it. At least it appears that way to me.

CDC reports more than 100,000,000 in U.S. have gotten a Covid-19 vaccine dose

Most of those who have gotten at least one shot are 65 and older.

I know that, at one point, the Madison County Health Department was not verifying age at all. We had several friends go down and present themselves for vaccination who were not eligible as of the time they got it. They weren't asked questions...

I read an article on the Google newsfeed this AM about it. They're being less than forthcoming about the particulars. "Out of spec" doesn't explain much...

More than 247,000 people have died of COVID-19 in the U.S. since vaccines first became available mid-December. Officials had warned that dispensing enough vaccines to reach herd immunity would take months. And with the initial vaccine supply extremely limited and the virus running rampant across the nation over the winter, it was a sad reality that some would contract COVID-19 and die before they could be inoculated.

The final insult: Some dying of COVID while awaiting vaccine

Drewes’ daughter Laura Brown was stunned by the timing of the call in January but didn’t lash out over the phone or even explain that her 75-year-old mom was at the point of death. “He was very excited to get his vaccine,” she said.

My mom and my sisters keep making excuses of why they cannot get the vaccine. None have gotten it and told me they have not been able to make an appointment. I just looked to see if it was easy or hard and just plugging in random info I was easily able to see what appointments were available. So they are flat out lying. I don't know how to convince them to do it. What can I do?

Tell them Biden is about to make a mandate that if you don’t have a vaccine card then it’s a fine

idk it’s hard to convince people at this point.

My mother and sister were in the same boat until my mother got Covid and was hospitalized. Thankfully she survived, but they both now see that it is more dangerous than the vaccine might be. Sadly some people believe the conspiracies and/or allow their politics to skew their reasoning about this and so many other things. Short of suffering, I am not sure that there is a solution.

Tell them that only Democrats are allowed to get vaccinated now.

My niece actually had covid. She was in some bad shape, but recovered. Not only that someone that worked with my sister had it and was on life support. They turned off the ventilator and were waiting for her to die. She miraculously pulled out of it. Yet none of them will go get the damn vaccine.

 

[NationalTitles18]

I'd ask them if I could help them find a vaccine appointment. If they say no then I might get more direct and ask why they are lying or do they have a death wish, but that's just me.

My wife is now fully vaccinated (I am still a few days away). She went to the Sunrise service this morning. It is outdoors and masked. She does not plan to attend an indoor service, even masked, for the foreseeable future. Most in our church are pretty old, and some are stubborn enough that they might not be getting vaccinated.
