Are you getting a Covid Vaccine?

[Jon Miller]

I know someone in the J&J trials who has health complications but is my age.

My understanding is that they include thee elderly and sick in their trials which is why vaccines generally get recommended for them. They are not including children in their trials, which is why vaccines are not recommended for them.

will they have to test it out on kids before recommending it?

[Uncle Sparky]

This is about Oxford-AstraZeneca tests on children and teens in England in late February.

I haven't read any results from this, but I suspect they'll have a better idea soon.

I have already gotten my first shot (Moderna) and the second is scheduled for April 3rd.

Going to VA clinic Saturday at 1:00 for Phizer.

VA has been especially fast at rolling on the vaccination.

[Kidlicious]

Don't forget to wear 2 masks after you get the jab just like Fauci.

Got here early and walked right in. Shot done and in chairs.

Operation Warp Speed Head Says Trump Administration Responsible For 90% Of Vaccine Rollout

[-Jrabbit]

Per Forbes: He also gave credit to Biden for his use of the Federal Emergency Management Act and sports arenas as mass vaccination sites. The former Operation Warp Speed chief also acknowledged that the Trump administration had some failures in “communication” regarding the vaccine rollout, and lamented on the “politicization” of the shot (which is hilarious, considering he freaking went on "Face The Nation" to say that).

But who the hell cares? Seriously. Frankly, neither POTUS deserves credit for anything more than than saying "make it happen" and signing the check.

The scientists and manufacturers deserve ALL the credit. Period.

But for the record: The Pfizer vaccine was not part of OWS, and the J&J 1-shot is just now being distributed. So, 90%? It's a deliberate distortion. But hey, if Trump is so desperate for credit after his sh1tshow of pandemic management, let him put a big check mark next to Moderna.

Same as Proteus and BeBro, will get it, but since I'm young and healthy and can work from home I'm very low down on the priority list.

[pchang]

My 1st shot is scheduled for April 2.

[-Jrabbit]

Got my shot yesterday. By luck of the draw, I received the Janssen vaccine (Johnson & Johnson). It was a Walmart Pharmacy location.
No noticeable side effects either yesterday or today - not even a sore arm.
One and done,baby!

[Lorizael]

I won't be eligible until the end of April, but I'll get it.

[Donegeal]

I got the 2nd Pfizer shot a month ago.

[Jon Miller]

I want the Oxford/AZN to be successful, but I keep hearing warning signs for it (same for SinoVac). When it comes time, if OxfordAZN is the one offered, I might ask for one of the others (I like all three currently available in the US).

I think OxfordAZN is better than nothing, it is just that we will have enough Pfizer/Moderna/J&J for everyone by end of May (I think) and they seem so much better.

I read somewhere if you get the vaccine and have a significant immune response you might have already had the bug, I guess the thinking is your system saw the virus the 1st time and developed a stronger defense. Which is why I suppose anti-biotics are problematic since we just keep 'evolving' stronger critters to make us sick.
