Well I was going to post about getting the vaccine today for a certain disease but then I reviewed the policy on topics that are off limits. So never mind. I guess the moderators don't consider it an appropriate topic for general discussion.
Just curious how old you are? My in laws have been trying to get it in Florida but the website has crashed the last few days when trying to signup.
Moderna. Mine was a drive thru and they had medical personnel there checking on you. Had to wait 15 min. before leaving.I'm susceptible to anaphylaxis. Were there emergency medical personnel on hand?
Did you get the Pfizer or Moderna vaccine?
By the way, my daughter, a surgeon, has had both the disease, and the vaccine, at this point.
She volunteered, as the person to be temporarily reassigned from her department, to be assigned to the COVID-19 ward in her hospital.
That's one of the billion dollar questions. And we don't have the answers. Will we need to get this vaccine every year (or every 6 months) because its efficacy wears off, will it work on mutations or will they have to manufacture a different one each year to keep up with it. Is there test we can all take to tell us how susceptible to Covid 19 we are. How many of us have been exposed to Covid 19 and have the antibodies already but don't know it. Maybe that sniffles thing we had months ago was the Covid 19.Everyone does realize it's not just a one-and-done shot, right?
And that it's longevity isn't known at all...
Not trying to upset/discourage/irritate anyone, and definitely not trying to turn anything political. I'm just relaying what I learned today and thought it was relevant to this thread.
This sort of crosses over into medical advice. She didn’t see the need, but agreed to simply follow hospital policy.I wondered about that. So if you have had it and recovered, you still need to (should) vaccinate?
She still wears a mask and takes proper precautions, but getting the vaccine certainly helps calm any nerves. I'm not sure if she got the other half, though.This is exactly why I posted what I did. False sense of security. Just like the masks...
