Will you get vaccinated?

[sy2502]

Cause she works in a prison and they pretty much said she had to. She didn't want to get it. She's never been too concerned about getting sick and even after she did get the virus was like "that's it?"

But then the vaccines showed up at the prison this week and the state basically bullied everyone into getting it

There you go, typical government. That vaccine could have gone to someone who really needed it but no, let's waste it on someone who already had it...And people want the government to run the whole healthcare system, dear gawd...

NY threw out a lot of vaccines because they went bad, the healthcare workers didn’t want to take them, so they got wasted. The older folks should’ve gotten opportunity first.

Why OP don’t post that news is beyond me?

Tater lots of things are beyond you, perks of being short. Did it ever occur to your little pea brain, that perhaps the OP never heard of it? I know you look up to me, (actually you look up to everyone) but I don't have all the info and since you knew about it, why didn't you engage those sausage digits and type that info in the thread for all of us? That would have been much more productive instead of whining about something that wasn't posted. Let me guess, you were busy trying on outfits for your Friday night drunk.

Okay I'm gonna take it

How could you not know that but know all this other stuff?

You’re doing a poor job as the forum news reporter.

I heard that in Israel what they do is in any given day they vaccinate the categories according to the schedule then, at the end of the day, if there's any vaccine left, they give it to anyone who shows up. You'd think that's not so hard to do figure out but apparently it is.
Here in California they passed a race based vaccination schedule

If there are not enough doses to reach all workers at risk in a facility, then Health departments may allocate doses for facilities—if information is available—to protect workers at higher risk of occupational exposure to SARS-CoV-2 before those at lower risk.
Local facilities should consider offering doses of vaccine to workers using the following risk factors, in sequence:
- Occupational risk of exposure to SARS-CoV-2
- Descending age, in the following age groups:
(1) 65 years and older
(2) 55-64 years
(3) Younger than 55 years
- Other attributes supported by evidence, including but not limited to underlying medical conditions, race, and ethnicity

I'll definitely hold out as long as I can. Local medical center is saying positive things, but I'll put it off as long as I can. Travel vaccinations might be the next big thing and I don't see myself stopping travel. So hopefully research and information will come out and I'll decide then. Hopefully information is transparent and it's not suppressed and forgotten about.

[2nd_chance]

I hope 99% of Americans get the vaccine. I'll be in the 1% that don't.

[Cass40]

I'm not really scared of the vaccination nor covid, however considering how contagious the virus is, somewhere along the way I assume I will get the virus if I never get vaccinated.

Maybe I have mild or nor symptoms but again probably somewhere in the future, I'd have complications. Those are the reasons I think I might take the vaccine.

Even if I never got the regular flu or flu shot, this is not the same thing because it spreads so much easier, and if everything is opened up again, then of course I will get the virus at some point. Or are we still pretending it magically just disappears?

A requirement for traveling is the only thing that will "force" me to get the shot as there is no damn way i'm giving up traveling. Do that & I may as well eat a bullet since it's the one thing I do that gives me joy.

Got the prompt to get my vaccine from my employer. I declined. For now.

[OldFartTom]

Looks like I'd benefit from it, turns out (tested today) I don't test positive for associated antibodies (IgM IgG) so don't have the benefit of previous exposure (despite being surrounded by anyone and everyone round here who seems to have had it recently). I'm quite far down the list of priorities, so no idea when/if I'd be offered a vaccine.

[Gabbar99]

If I was physically near my old university where I still do some online work and am still officially on the faculty, I could have gotten vaccinated this past weekend at a special clinic they did for faculty. That state they'd gotten to the 'teacher' level of the priority list. I'm down the list a ways in the state where I am now.

My daughter, sister, and niece all got the vaccination because they're in health care.

I was with my dad and held his hand as he died from Covid19 a month ago, but I've tested negative since. I'll probably get it when it's my turn.

[OldFartTom]

Very sorry to hear your news Gabbar

[x-trainer ben]

I was certain that i would get it, 100%, but then i read about Hank Aaron and it has given me pause.
I also asked a few older relatives their opinion on getting it and they agree that a wait and see approach may be the best course of action at this point.

Ben what about Hank Arron gave you a pause?

It was the time frame.
2 or 3 weeks and boom gone!
I am searching for additional information to see if he was a sickly older guy, or if he just had a weird reaction to this.

Oh Ok, I got ya now, I never read much on him at all. Didn't know he had the vaccination until now.

Yeah, it was well publicized to motivate those that might be hesitant to get it.
The thought was, "well if hammering hank got it" then it must be perfectly safe and fine......

I didn't know that he got the vaccine on Jan 5, thanks for sharing. So the timeline of death would have been shortly after the 2nd shot.

So what I've learned - deaths shortly after receiving the vaccine is not considered related, but deaths not directly caused by covid are reported as a covid death.

I got a full blood panel test done and I'm in perfect health and vitamin D levels are great, so I'll continue to avoid taking the vaccine as long as I can, until more info comes out.

So far (and yes I've a had the first dose three weeks ago) the data are showing that it is very unlikely to cause an adverse reaction. BUT, as with all drugs being injected to people there will be problems. So far, the data are showing 90% of people vaccinated have at least some immunity (10% do not); overall, I'd say its likely that far more people will die from COVID if unvaccinated, than those from the rare adverse reactions.

Still, I understand an individual being nervous and deciding to wait. Also, quite a few folks are at risk - my wife had very severe responses to several vaccinations and now docs recommend she not get any related to flu or COVID.

[TAWS6]

I got the first shot last week. Didn't feel a thing. Not really looking forward to the second shot but I also can't wait to get it over with lol. I hear you're more likely to get side effects from the booster.

[trickyB]

I received my second shot this week. Definitely felt tired and sore for about 36 hours after. I felt fine after the first one. Working in health care and being around it all the time gave me an appreciation for what it (covid) CAN do. Nothing will have you losing your gains faster than being intubated, on a ventilator, and being feed through an IV. Hard pass on that.

Oregon health workers who got stuck in a snowstorm on their way back from a COVID-19 vaccination event went car to car injecting stranded drivers before several of the doses expired. Josephine County Public Health said on Facebook that the "impromptu vaccine clinic" took place after about 20 employees were stopped in traffic on a highway after a vaccination clinic Tuesday.

CBS Medford, Oregon affiliate KTVL-TV reported that they were stuck near Hayes Hill while en route to Grants Pass after staffing a vaccine clinic at Illinois Valley High School.

Six of the doses were earmarked for people in Grants Pass but "the snow meant those doses wouldn't make it to them before they expired," the health department said in a Facebook Post.

I am so sorry Gabbar.

I've learned from the mouths of a medical center that they still aren't sure whether the vaccination actually halts you from spreading it. They don't know a lot of things when the public is asking questions, but what they do know is that the vaccination is safe....so I'm still unsure if I'll get it. I see J&J is working on their one shot vaccine.

HA, where is any protocol? Random strangers getting injections in public, wow the virus fear is strong with peeps.

Did you even read the reason why they were given the shot? or were the words too big for ya.
