Square Wheels Posted December 20, 2020 Share #2 Posted December 20, 2020 If I get it, I'll do it on a Friday so I don't need to use my vacation time if I have symptoms. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisL Posted December 20, 2020 Share #3 Posted December 20, 2020 My daughter has an appointment for next week but due to her pregnancy she’s going to pass. I haven’t heard about issues with the C19 vaccine & pregnancy though? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven’t heard about issues with the C19 vaccine & pregnancy though? I think I heard the other day that it is not recommended if you are pregnant on plan to get pregnant. Probably because the vaccine isn’t approved and the EUA. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The local news has made it sound like large scale public (regular civilians) vaccinations are still months away. CDC today recommended people 75 years and older and medical professionals should now be offered the vaccine. With the second manufacturer now shipping vaccines, I think those two groups will start having vaccination opportunities over the next few weeks. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prophet Zacharia Posted December 21, 2020 Author Share #13 Posted December 21, 2020 Pain free. Easy peasy. Currently waiting for my 15 minutes of post-injection observation to end. 2nd dose will Be on my birthday. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That could start by the first of the year depending on your area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parr8hed Posted December 21, 2020 Share #15 Posted December 21, 2020 My wife got hers yesterday. I am slightly pissed that I work a shift with nothing but covid positive patients once a week or so and I have not been offered the vaccine yet, but all kinds of people that I know are getting it and what they do barely qualifies as working in the medical field. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel like people that work registration at a hospital probably need it too. But seeing the images of various hospital administrators that are getting vaccinated kinda irks me. If you go straight from the parking lot and enter your office and don't come anywhere close to seeing a patient, I don't think you are much higher on the list than anyone that works in an office. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had the same reaction to various national elected officials getting theirs last week. I also think the health care distribution, at least in my area, heavily favors inpatient providers. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are not many outpatient providers that see a huge percentage of covid pos patients, but dialysis is one of them. I hope we get remembered.

donkpow Posted December 21, 2020 Share #20 Posted December 21, 2020 It's early. The number of inoculations issued to date is about 25% of the number of doses shipped. An epidemiologist this AM said those at highest risk, old and people with co-morbid conditions, number about 100 million in this country. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These people are out in the community and won’t be found until testing capacity is substantially better. Outpt health care providers are in contact with these people, they just don’t know when.

Call the County Health department-- and email the county health director-- get others in your role to do so too if you can. People are on reaction not proaction these days.

Prophet Zacharia Posted December 21, 2020 Author Share #23 Posted December 21, 2020 CDC has started a “v-safe” vaccine monitoring program with follow-up texts asking about side effect symptoms. Daily for the first week, weekly for the next 5, then at 3, 6 and 12 months. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
