COVID Vaccine poll?
 

5 hours ago Linda and I got our first of two COVID vaccine shots at a local community college event sponsored by our County health department to inoculate all residents who are part of North Carolina's phase 1b plan.
Yea, we're really old folk's.
Neither of us have any injection site pain or for that matter any of the reported symptom's.
I hope all of the drag racing community can get the shot soon so that we don't have to be distracted about infecting others or getting sick when we are competing.
Has any one else had or are scheduled with an appointment to get the shot?

Wife and I are 1A and unable to make an appointment as yet. Glad for your sake NC apparently has a better plan in place.

Re: COVID Vaccine poll?
 

The wife and I both received our Covid 19 Moderna vaccine shot on Monday Jan 6.
The Amarillo TX operation was setup by FEMA and was really good for an operation for something like it setup by the Government.
The only question we were asked to enter for the shot was if you were 65 or older. The wife and I both fit that category and above.
We were in and out in less than an hour.
It was like clockwork.
In line maybe 10 to 15 minutes.
Sitting socially distanced filling out a front and back one page sheet with personal info etc. 10 to 15 minutes
Getting the shot card filled out with info with a person verifying the info on our drivers license. maybe 5 minutes
Getting the shot from the RN Nurse, who was very good and her filling in our cards with the info on the shot lot, date and time. maybe 5 minutes
She told us to keep the cards for the follow up shot in 28 days. She also said we should take a picture of the card and keep it in our phones as at some point we may need that or something like that to get on an airplane or to enter some government buildings.
Then out to the last room to self time a 15 minute time to see if there was any reaction to the shot and we were out.

I had a regularly scheduled physical scheduled on Wednesday Jan 8 and it took well over 2 hours in and out without any shots. So by the comparison it was easy to get the Covid shot.

The RN said in 7 to 10 days we should be 40% to 50% protected and after the second shot it would be 95%.
The Dr. on Wed. told me he had his first shot that morning and that in a week or so he should be protected to 90%. He also had the Moderna.
I am not sure who to believe on the protection.
Both indicated for now we still needed to wear a mask and socially distance if we were out and about.

I have been contacted by the VA hospital in West Haven, CT, which is where I receive my healthcare. Due to the fact that I am 73 years old and I have asthma; I will be among the second group to receive the vaccine (after those who are older and have more serious or more numerous underlying conditions). Hopefully, I will receive the first shot by the end of the month.

Re: COVID Vaccine poll?
 

Amarillo TX ran out of vaccine on Thursday evening and no shots were available on Friday.
I think they started out last week mid week with 10,000 doses.
It was announced on the 6 pm news that 1000 more shots will be available on Saturday from 9 am to 2 pm.
FEMA is doing a good job in Amarillo.

Re: COVID Vaccine poll?
 

The VA has them available. I'm staying home and putting my garden in. Someone else can use my shots.

In my family, 4 cases....all appear to be OK. My grandson and granddaughter, both police patrol officers. Another granddaughter that is a RN. And my great grand daughter... they should all be fine.

On Fox news today, two gorillas is a San Diego zoo tested positive for COVID19. How in the hell do you put a swab down a gorillas nose?

My wife and I got our first shots last night.

Our arms are a little sore but we feel fine otherwise.

Re: COVID Vaccine poll?
 

Oldest daughter gets hers on Friday. She is not a bit concerned, she is a BCBA that works directly with autistic children and parents of same.

Re: COVID Vaccine poll?
 

My wife was persistent (no surprise there LOL) and finally got through to the health department (reservations by phone only) on Monday and got us reservations on February 4th. Will miss the first day of the Orlando Divisional but consider getting the vaccine a priority. Canadian racers won’t get to come south and many states will continue to limit track events until we get the pandemic under control. Whether we believe in those limitations or not that’s the reality.

Re: COVID Vaccine poll?
 

I have an appointment this Saturday, Jan.23, at my local VA hospital to get my first dose.
At 73 years old with asthma; I feel a definite sense of relief.

Re: COVID Vaccine poll?
 

I'm 78 going on Tuesday to Lovell FHC VA for mine--FED 387

Re: COVID Vaccine poll?
 

I received my first dose as scheduled on Sat. Jan.23 at 11:40 AM. I was held at the VA for 15 minutes of observation and I was on my way home at 11:55 AM. I received the Pfizer vaccine, so the second dose is scheduled for Sat. Feb.13 at 11:45 AM which is exactly 3 weeks after receiving the first dose. I am hopeful that we can return to some semblance of normalcy by mid year.

Re: COVID Vaccine poll?
 

Tomorrow 10:15 am, Loma Linda VA Medical Center.

Re: COVID Vaccine poll?
 

Thank god Trump was president or you would be waiting 2 or 3 years for that shot.

Re: COVID Vaccine poll?
 

I am thankful we aren’t shining a light up our arses and drinking a disinfectant cocktail. Before Pfizer’s vaccine was proved highly successful in clinical trials, the company offered the Trump administration the chance to lock in supplies beyond the 100 million doses the pharmaceutical maker agreed to sell the government as part of a $1.95 billion deal over the summer. But the administration, never made the deal, a choice that now raises questions about whether the United States allowed other countries to take its place in line. Loma Linda VAMC got 600 units to provide with tens of thousands Veterans in Riverside county. My disability and age got me in the door, not some political hack.

Freedom of choice is a wonderful thing, I am proud I took an oath to defend it. Semper fi

Re: COVID Vaccine poll?
 

LOL, and you are defending a guy that will take it away from you. Your a socialist admit it. Bet you read the Huffington Post daily.

Randy

Re: COVID Vaccine poll?
 

Laughable.

Re: COVID Vaccine poll?
 

The daughter who is in the Houston area and works in the hospital system as a RN received her second dose of the Phizer vaccine.
She has been rather sick for about 24 hours after receiving it.
She was told that might happen.
The wife and I are scheduled to get our second dose next Monday Feb. 1 of the Moderna vaccine.
I hope we do not have the same reaction that the daughter has had.
By the way, Amarillo TX leads the nation in getting the vaccine out in their coverage area as reported locally and nationally. I can say the system works like clockwork from experience.
The Amarillo distribution covers the Texas Panhandle and parts of Oklahoma, Kansas and New Mexico who travel to Amarillo for the vaccine.
Lets all hope and pray the vaccine gets us all back to normal as soon as possible.

Typical n.j. embarasssing bits, some big shots who are friends of this hospital in Hunterton county, got snuck in and got shots ahead of reg. folks, and got ratted out. Oh, we had leftovers we didn't want to waste. A grocery store up north announced they had shots left over, come and get 'em at the end of the day. How long was that stuff sitting out of the freezer.I am just going to wait, especialy here, tooo much politks and cow pies with this whole deal.
