Just curious on everyone's willingness to take the immunization.

I will take when available. I believe AL is currently in the 5 worse states as far as rollout. They have just started administering to those 75 and older.

I will certainly take it as soon as it's made available to me. I work in an industry where I have to come in contact with many different people, and my boss (a.k.a. father-in-law) is 80, has had and recovered from COVID, but it was pretty scary, touch and go for a while. He almost died. My wife and I both had it too. She's a school teacher, so she'll probably get vaccinated before me. I'm not willing to take the chance of getting it again, and God forbid, passing it to my wife or her father.

Yup. Even more certain today after sitting in on a meeting with Dr. Drew Weissman. He is best known for his development of the mRNA technology used in the current vaccines. After listening to him it's a no brainer.

The mechanism has been in the works for 8ish years and this isn't it's first use. It's really not new new. The more I learn the more comfortable I am with it. It's approach is fascinating.

Me too. Might get it early from my wife's job where she is considered front line. This is to increase the chance we don't infect her in the mean time. Just waiting on permission from the governor...

I had the two rounds of shots from Pfizer.

First dose, intense soreness at injection site. Woke me up from my sleep. Lasted about a day.

Second dose I had the full immune system response, which was reassuring that it works. Fever, aches, etc. Nyquil and 14 hours of sleep cleared it all up. Felt like I got a taste of the real deal for a day. Glad it was only a sample.

I'm excited to grow my beard back. 10 years of beard I had to shave to fit respirators at work. I don't like having a naked face.

Work will pay for it.

I think my answer based on todays meeting is yes and as I said before it's a no brainer in my mind, but I do want to talk to my cardiologist and oncologist first. Just cause. I don't really know it it moves me up the list or removes me from it. I suspect the former.

This is just it. This isn't entirely new. Just older research applied to a new issue that fit. The vaccines were developed for the last round of SARS but funding dried up so they stopped. Funding restarted for SARS-COV-2 and the data was applicable so the research continued where they left off.

I'll take it...almost had a chance last week, when our county announced it was including 65+ year olds in the group getting vaccines...tried getting an appointment, but all the locations were booked...

now the county says it is out of vaccines, and doesn't know when it'll get more...

First priority at work here was the suits. Admins and board members got theirs before bedside staff. Pro tip: get stupid rich and buy yourself a seat on the board of a non profit. You'll get paid a ****load of untaxed money and get priority for pandemic vaccinations.

I wanted to punch faces when I hit the post-shot waiting area on round one. It was at least half suits. The azzwholes who make us reuse face masks for a month. My N95 I wear going into covid rooms is from August. We have no more. But they're sitting in the waiting room wearing them, and got their shots.

Flu shots are just a shot in the dark. I get em, but they're free, and mandatory....

This one, we know what we're dealing with. The research was mostly done already, just had to make some modifications. Can't be mandatory yet because it's not fully FDA approved.

I read the entire report submitted by Pfizer and the science was sound. It's not new, just modified.

In the meeting today he talked about efficacy even with mutations. If it ever mutates enough to curb efficacy it would take about 6 weeks to develop another vaccine.

The amount of mutation to evade efficacy of the current vaccine would be incredible, and if it reaches that point, it would be highly unlikely to be infectious to humans.

But yes, if we get there, modifications to this type of vaccine are relatively easy to make.

That's horseshit treatment.

PM me your address. One of my equipment suppliers has both valved and valveless N95s. I'll send you what I can get.
I understand that valved will be awkward in a hospital. Maybe they will let you wear a 3-ply over them? the valveless should be no issue.
