i totally agree...certainly before some AHOLE politicians who denied covids existence got it! Personally I think the military should have been enlisted to aid in the delivery.

I got it today in Virginia. The arm I got it in is a bit sore, but other than that no ill effects. I figure if it works, great, if not, it was worth a shot (no pun intended) and if it turns out like I Am Legend, then I get to be a zombie.

4.66 million doses so far according to the Bloomberg tracker which is fairly current. Weren't we supposed to be at 20 million by now? Clearly there are major logistical and other issues so far with the rollout. On the other hand, at least in the mainstream news there aren't reports of widespread catastrophic reactions.

Over 70 in SoCal. Haven't received any info yet. And I sure hope they consider grocery workers essential. Because they are.

Leon. If you turn out to be a zombie. Post pictures.

The tracker is up less than 400,000 doses in the past 24 hrs. That rate clearly is not going to get this done.

My booster is coming up this week. Luckily no side effects aside from arm soreness.

Are you guys finding that Pfizer is more available or Moderna?

The only option I had was Pfizer.

Yeah, I am in California and it seems that it has been 50/50 here. I've been told that Moderna maybe more available due to less restraints (ie temps) to keep the vaccine viable.

I am 37 years old and I ain't getting it! What if the damn thing turns into cancer after a few years? Give me the virus instead!

[bbcard1]

I am told there are only 227.7 million people in front of me in line. I'd take it tomorrow if I could. Make it today.

I work at a hospital and I got my first dose on Monday. I had an extremely sore arm for 1-2 days and a temperature of 99 - 100 for about 12-24 hours. Technically not a fever but not normal. Still worth it. I’d rather get a fever from a vaccine than from Covid. I am the one in the family that always gets mild fevers from a cold or other illnesses, so not surprising. If anything, that is telling that my body is responding to the vaccine appropriately. Stay safe!

Here in AZ they are giving appointments starting Monday for those of us 75+. Just made the cutoff. My wife still works part time in my former dental practice and therefore will be getting her first vaccine on Monday. Interestingly the lady who bought my dental practice and my daughter-in-law who is a nurse have no intention of getting the vaccine. Go figure.

Wait and see once Biden is Prez the reporting of COVID death numbers will diminish

I thought the military was supposed to be involved. Ugh.

I am considered at risk due to being a fat, wheezy f**k. I asked my MD today about it and he said they are still waiting for guidance and methods for prioritizing. Meanwhile, LA is ground zero right now.

Returning to my hiding place under my bed now.

I would think that having to be stored at -90 would make shipping a bit more difficult. Even after it is shipped not a lot of places have somewhere on site large enough to store tens or hundreds of thousands of doses

[bnorth]

Have not got mine yet, hopefully soon. In South Dakota Phase 1 is 5 priority groups. I am in group 4, they are doing group 3 now. My wife is in group 3 so she got her first dose 5 days ago.

Phase 2 is supposed to be the general public.

I am an essential employee (veterinarian) and my wife is immunosuppressed from drugs after a doible lung transplant. We live in Florida and they are vaccinating health workers and 65 year old plus people. No word on when either one of us will be eligable. Seems like no real rhyme or reason for giving vaccines.

[Natswin2019]

Both my house mates have gotten the vaccine because they work in a hospital. They both got them shortly before Christmas and are gonna be getting the 2nd round soon. I work in the food service industry and haven't heard anything about getting the vaccine yet. Both my parents have yet to hear anything as well and are both pushing 60. This is all in Central VA

Are you serious?

[atx840]

Wife is a frontline nurse, likely she will get hers here in January, me and the kids are likely a few months out (we live in Canada).
