COVID Vaccinations

We got the first round of our Moderna vaccinations today. They are supposed to 50% effective. 95% effective after the second dose which we are scheduled to get in February. It was a hassle to get our shots. Two trips to the location and a long wait, but we're so happy we were able to get that protection. No adverse side effects for either of us. It's good to know we're a little safer and also to know that we are less likely to be spreading anything to others. Stay safe. Wear a mask and stay home unless really necessary. Let's do this.

Good for you. Hopefully, COVID will soon be much less worrisome than it is at present.

It's really quite awful here now. Gets worse all the time. But we have a new administration coming in less than two weeks. The Democrats will have control of the Senate, and we are getting the vaccinations. 2021 is going to be a better year.

@pjmurphy I wonder how many lives would have been saved if the new regime had been able to start work as soon as the election was over rather than having to wait for 11 weeks?

Awesome! I'm so happy for you. If you don't mind my asking - what state are you in? Yes... so many of my friends are tired of all this and are going around life as usual. We only have a bit longer until the vaccines helps us out....

@FayeHazel There is a plan here in Tennessee--of sorts. The problem is the administration is sorely lacking. Each county in our state administers the plan differently. We have a Republican administration state wide and representing us in Washington. They seem to be more concerned with supporting an insurrection at the moment.

We're in Tennessee. Apparently each state, and even each county in the states, has its own plan to defivery.

@pjmurphy Ah I've never been, but I would like to. That's interesting. Here (MN) we're doing it like this - 1A (where we are now) - Frontline workers and nursing home residents 1B Other essential workers and assisted living residents 2 Adults over 75 and those with health conditions and essential workers 3 Everyone who wants one at least as far as I remember...

Vaccines seems still far to achieve here... Are you paying for it?

That is good news. Hubby is in the age group to be vaccinated next, but Alberta doesn't have enough!
