Kolek planning to go pro
That's not happening (at least in large scale). They go through vials one at a time, keeping them in the deep freeze until needed. If there's not enough appointments, or a few no-shows and they have doses left in a vial, they start calling their waitlist - and nearly everyone has a list a mile long.
You are correct. Unfilled appointments doesn't necessarily mean wasted vaccine. Still, it does mean we aren't moving toward herd immunity as quickly as we could. If places are seeing unfilled slots and they can't fill them from waitlists (or if it takes significant time to call through the waitlists), it's a clear sign they should broaden the eligibility criteria.

I don't know how you counter the vaccine hesitancy. I was talking with my colleague and she's dead set against it. Countered every objection and it didn't matter. Now going through it with my parents. It's so maddening.
We just had an informal poll in our work group. All but one currently eligible has got at least one. The hold out is due to availability, not unwillingness. Happy I work with smart folks.
You can't have a rational conversation with an anti-vaxxer. My brother-in-law and sister-in-law are refusing. When I said that we are in this together and need to do our part, her response was ..., to start crying about how mean people are being to them.
You are weighing down the average, flyer.
I hoped you laughed in their faces. Tell them to send you any data they have that vaccines are dangerous. And that you'd be happy to read it and then file it appropriately... In the trash with the National Enquirer.
We have been very careful. Only have done carryout about three times since last Feb. Tonight my wife really wanted pizza so I said I would go. The place where we got it was packed. And since it was a restaurant not many masks. I felt uncomfortable. I think it will take a long while before I feel "normal" again. Three weeks to dose number two..... Cannot come quick enough.
Still going to mask up to be polite.
gee, someone has a different opinion than you? whodathunk?? i got the vaccine, but i respect those who have their own thoughts and opinions. please don't cancel them out like everything is getting today. this is more complicated than "we are in this together bull hockey. get the damn vaccine and move on
Absolutely. Even after I am two weeks out from my second dose, I will mask up as long as CDC recommends it (and possibly longer). A small price to pay for both me and those around me to feel more comfortable.
