Frobro, there's a federally mandated Tier system of classification states supposed adhere to. Med pros and med frontline first.
Then homeless and prisoners in Tier 2 along with a bunch of others. Tier 3 is over 65 and peeps with underlying conditions.
Tell them she lives in the alley behind your house.
That's the problem. Most states haven't bothered to figure this shit out. A lot of people who don't belong to big integrated health systems will be going to CVS and Rite Aid and places like that, who don't have their medical records. Obviously age can be checked, but medical conditions, essential workers--how is that supposed to be verified? I'm with Kaiser, I'm hoping I'll get a shot through them and they'll notify me when it's time.
It's not like getting a flu shot--they give a shot to anyone who shows up, except in Florida.
Giving the shot is quick, but I'm sure there's paperwork to deal with, insurance info, etc that will take a lot longer for each person.
I'm not sure I'd want to have an allergic reaction at CVS.
BTW--65 and older is Tier 1C, not 3. It means the same thing but sounds sooner.
My FIL'S doc said he should not get the Pfizer shot but the place he lives contracted with CVS to come in and administer the shots. Unfortunately they only give the Pfizer shot not Moderna and his docs aren't doing it. We can't find anywhere locally that can tell us if or when they'll get that and the place he lives wants all of the residents to have their first shot this coming week. This shouldn't have to be a hassle...
I figured I would post an update, but my dad ended up being given the Moderna vax instead of the Pfizer. He was supposedly the first person at the hospital he's on staff at to receive the Moderna shot. He got it on Tuesday morning, and thus far says he has experienced precisely zero side effects of any kind. No soreness in his arm/at the injection shot, no fatigue, nothing. "Like it never even happened."
He gets his second round January 26.
I called my doc to figure out my place in line. I’m mid fifties, with heart issues, and a wife who is a front-line RN. I was told, “I have no clue.” Great.
I'm curious as to why Moderna but not Pfizer. Any idea?Quote:

His other doc won't offer an opinion because he doesn't feel like he knows enough about either one. If it was administered in a medical setting rather than a chair in the lobby of the place and there was a doc on site rather than a pharmacist we might be willing to take the chance but it's all so shaky my wife doesn't trust it if he has a bad reaction.Quote:

Curious if anyone else has seen this kind of thing from the Moderna shot?
Not abnormal for ANY injection. Can use an OTC hydrocortisone cream such as Cortaid. Severe acute allergic responses to Moderna's vaccine are trending at 1:100K FYI.Quote:

Excited here. Father in law is scheduled to get the pfizer shot on Friday. At the last update, 18 of the 28 residents at the care facility have covid. He's still negative and has been isolated.
Wife got her vaccine an hour ago. She has not started eating my brain yet.
My sister got Moderna vax last week; no side effects at all
Well, for you who assumed I was an anti-vaxxer, I took the Moderna vaccine last Thursday. As a first responder through ski patrol, the local health department said I qualified.
Drive through. Filled out a form. They asked if I had eve had an anaphylactic reaction, which I had in response to penicillin many year ago. Drove to the next station, got the vaccine in my left arm. Needle looked like about a 23 gauge; never felt it go in. Pulled to a parking spot and waited 30 minutes because of the prior anaphylactic reaction.
Injection site was sore for the next two days. No skin irritation. No other side effects.
YMMV.
Yeah, she used some hydrocortisone which helped some. She's had lots of shots/vaccines over the years and nothing like this. Clearly it doesn't appear to be a life-threatening issue by any means, just odd for the delayed escalation after pretty normal stuff the first few days.Quote:

Woke up around 2am with a terrible headache, body aches and a 100.8 fever. Took some Tylenol and tried to sleep. Fever finally broke around 7am to 99.7 and now fever free (10am). Body still feels wrecked and the headache is lingering. They had to stagger our schedules so all of the Er nurses have the day off after receiving the second shot. No gills or scales yet so that’s a plus.
