It's nice to know the 1st shot is so effective. There's always a small percentage of vaccines that don't "take" so the 2nd shot is a good thing.

We just learned on our county site that we signed up there on 2/16. They're now working on people who signed up on 2/13 so unless one of the other places we signed up at comes through it's probably going to be another couple weeks before we get an appointment. A woman I know in FL got her 2nd shot yesterday and said by the evening she felt like she'd been run over by a truck. Fever, chills etc. even with Tylenol. She didn't react like that with the first one. Isn't it weird to be anxiously waiting to get a shot that's going to make us sick?

The guy who gave us our first vaccine said to expect flu-like symptoms for a couple days. He said most people have them.

CDC also says the first vaccine gives us about a 50% protection and the second one protects 95% but about a week later. They still recommend masks for the foreseeable future.

Hola ..

Snow on the ground still there, got another dusting this AM .. still below freezing highs, but relief in sight ..

I took everyone's advice and continued looking for the vaccine .. the Stars aligned yesterday and I scored an 8 AM appointment for the Pfizer one, tomorrow .. and second one in 21 days .. they told me on the phone which one it would be, don't know if that's common ..

Just to be on the safe side, I have not yet called the VA to take me off their list, will wait till I go tomorrow and then call ..

It's a cryin' shame that my 90 year old Aunt Anita in Myrtle Beach has still been unable to even obtain an appointment ..

I truly hope all of you get in soon, just keep trying ..

Janet and I are on 9 waiting lists. Maybe I'll look for #10 today.

Or are 'they' putting this out because the supply of vaccine is already running low/behind for the 1st. So now telling folks they don't need the 2nd one. Sorry if I'm skeptical, but I just don't know what/who to believe anymore.

I hope those of you who do get the jab, that all you will get is the mild flu symptoms or nothing at all. These poor people suffered through more and some have lost their lives

Morning, all.

More rain here, more snow higher up. Claim is we'll hit 50 on Sunday.

The guy who gave us our first vaccine said to expect flu-like symptoms for a couple days. He said most people have them.

CDC also says the first vaccine gives us about a 50% protection and the second one protects 95% but about a week later. They still recommend masks for the foreseeable future.

We blew through the first with, essentially, no reaction. What I've read is that the flu-like symptoms are more likely after the second.

As I understand it, the initial testing, before being submitted for "emergency" use, involved two doses. I suspect (no, haven't tried to dive into the documents!) they checked periodically for the anti-bodies to gauge response. And I also suspect that as the number of innoculated folk rises and they have more data, they're now speculating that one dose gives more protection than initially thought.

Remember, this is a brand new disease, and there's bound to be a learning curve! What they thought six months ago may be changed by new info.

Ugh! I feel for both of you. Passwords make me crazy! I have a list that I'm "pretty good" at keeping updated, but even so sometimes one just won't work. Wouldn't it be great to just have one that would work with everything? That's definitely not safe though so I guess we're just stuck dealing with them.

Some version of a password "vault" may be in order. One (REALLY) good password for it, and it secures and remembers all the rest for you. Some will even generate strong passwords for whatever site for you. And let you sync them across devices. No clue what's out there for Macs, Windows and Android here.

Well, dose one over and done .. I was given a 21 Day out for the second .. I even got a nifty sticker, kind of like when you Vote .. I did not use the sticker, I kept it as a souvenir of the Times We Live ..

The young woman administering the vaccine that I had did not jab, it was more of a slower slide in, so, yeah, I felt it ..

Oddly, I did not feel any sense of great mental relief ..

Who knows .. ?? I remember a long time ago, my DR told me that the flu shot is not all that effective for various reasons, yet it is still beneficial ..

With me, it's in for a penny, in for a pound, I'll get the second dose unless the folks in charge change the protocol somewhere along the line ..

Hi folks,

Haven't been around.....honoring Lent, so computer time is diminished save for important stuff that needs to be done.

No time to back read, so hope you are all doing well! Think of you all often with warm thoughts.

Yup. Us too.

Found this:
Pfizer and Moderna vaccines prove 92 percent effective with just 1st dose

"In a study published Thursday in the New England Journal of Medicine, a pair of Canadian-based researchers suggested an amendment to the determined efficacy of the Pfizer vaccines after just one shot. While Pfizer and BioNTech reported their vaccine was just 52.4 percent effective at preventing infection after the first dose, the researchers noted that this data includes results from within the first two weeks after inoculation, "when immunity would have still been mounting." After two weeks, that efficacy mounted to 92.6 percent, matching the first-dose efficacy of 92.1 percent reported from the Moderna vaccine as well. After two doses, the Pfizer vaccine is 95 percent effective, and Moderna's is 94 percent."

So, no, no big sense of relief until two weeks

The reported efficacy of the covid shot is way above the usual for flu shots. But both do appear to, if not prevent the disease, at least greatly reduce it's affect. If it keeps us out of hospitals, well worth it, imo.

Hope they get some blankets!!

Yeah, I do still tend to think in may become a yearly ritual .. I hope not but there will be a faction that refuses the vaccine, not to mention folks in other countries .. thus leaving the virus out there ..

C'mon, pet me... just try!

I'm not trying. My cats draw enough of my blood as it is. I'm not letting another cat make a blood withdrawal lol.

 

[DavidOck]

Stella is usually pretty laid back. Until she isn't. Yeah, she lets you know when she's had enough! Max, our grey youngster (he's about 3 1/2, Stella just turned 13) is, otoh, the stereotypical "fraidy cat", he'll run if we sneeze!

 

[WhiteHighlights]

The good news, MA opened up eligibility for the vaccine to my DH and I. The bad news is, like many other places, getting an appointment is like winning the lottery. The new super-duper, easy to use website crashed when it opened. When it was fixed, most appointments were gone. It also wasn't user friendly. Many, including DH, were frustrated.

They're pushing people to large vaccination sites rather than community ones that were in the initial rollout so they can get a high volume done and show it as a success (we've been lagging in vaccination rates). Many people can't or won't go to the large sites. Communities are not happy, so maybe the distribution will change going forward. The cynic in me thinks then the governor will say 'we're making it easier for seniors and people at risk', claiming success for a problem he created.

On the positive side - we had an inch+ of snow overnight. The roads were fine for the drive to work, the trees were pretty with branches looking like they were dusted with confectioner's sugar, little traffic, and good tunes made for a nice ride. Happily home now and TGIF. Temperatures might actually hit 40deg. next week. Yahoo - bring on spring!

 

[Janet H]

Good morning. The sun is shining and the sky is blue and it's still pretty cold out there. Yesterday we were supposed to get snow showers in the morning. Well, it started snowing at 8:15 and ended at 3:30 with sleet! That was some shower. Fortunately no more snow is predicted for the next 10 days.

Hi folks,

Haven't been around.....honoring Lent, so computer time is diminished save for important stuff that needs to be done.

Well hello there Gracie! I was getting ready to send out the search dogs for you! Glad to hear you're doing well. We're doing fine here and just dealing with all this snow. It's pretty, but would be more enjoyable if it was also at least 60 degrees out there!

Mike has been signing us up everywhere for the C19 shot and we're just waiting for someone to get back to us to schedule an appointment. So, this morning he checks his mail and evidently he got an email at suppertime last night to come to a local pharmacy in an hour to get his shot and he missed it!! Sheesh!

 

[Janet H]

Whoa, I just checked our county website for the C19 shot. There are 59,628 people ahead of us! Yikes! I'm sure some of those people have been able to get their shots elsewhere so by now that number has to be lower, but still...
