Walgreens at least here in Illinois seems to have one glitch after another though. Supply seems to be opening up though, at least until everyone becomes eligible statewide next week. The mass vax sites up in the Chicago area are filling almost as fast as they open.
Had Moderna #2 about 48 hours ago.Felt sore and blah, with a lingering headache, most of yesterday, but felt better as the day went on. Enjoyed Gonzaga-UCLA last night, got a decent night of sleep and feel quite good today. Arm's still sore, but otherwise nothing terrible.Better than I had hoped for given some of the horror stories. And much better than the day after my second shingles shot last year -- when I felt like I had been run over by a truck, which then backed up and ran me over again.
I think a lot of people are interested in J&J because of the "one and done" nature of the shot.
The local health system today mentioned that they are getting more vaccines this week than they can distribute at their mass vaccination site. So they are starting to take their J&J shots on the road to some rural locations.I think you are going to see vaccinations skyrocket in the next few weeks.**Appointments are open for adults in almost every state without restriction.**J&J is going to be highly sought after, especially by the young and healthy. (My adult son and his friends were searching out J&J shots yesterday. He found one at a Wal-Mart about two miles from where he lives.)**Another surge, and news about variants, is going to drive more people to get vaccinated. We aren't at herd immunity yet folks. But we can get there soon!!!
Things are definitely looking up. As long as people keep getting vaccinated, we have a legitimate chance of getting near herd immunity within the next few months.
That, and the more traditional nature of it's development vs the new mRNA.
It’s happening. In CT 65+ is now 82% and 55+ 75% and 45+ 67% (all first shot data). Great sign that vaccine hesitancy may be eroding.
Cuz you have more Dems (and fewer evangelicals). The opposite of Wisconsin.
I was getting my haircut today. We got to talking about vaccination, he said he didn't like shots but was going tomorrow and was concerned the 2nd shot was 4 weeks out. I told him that was normal, I thought Moderna was a 4 week wait. "Moderna? Oh no no no, I'm not getting Moderna. That shot paralyzes you. I'm cancelling."Facepalm. I laughed but realized he was serious. "This is false, tens of millions of people have safely gotten Moderna. Call your doctor if you are concerned." He was not persuaded.I should post this in the Doom thread.
Curious...did you ask him how he knew this or where he got that information from?
The vaccine is the end game, hey?
Just got J&J last night. I feel hungover
