Today's vaccines are probably the safest and most effective medical intervention in existence. They are probably safer than ibuprofen which has serious side effects resulting in an estimated 16K deaths and causes 100K hospitalizations in the U.S.
Are they in CO? Happy to pass along resources (nothing beyond what you can easily find with a google search) I gathered for my mom, although I think it was the local (Estes Park) sign up that finally worked.Quote:

I suggest that anyone who gets signed up be prepared for some short term disappointment.
Awesome and I hope everyone can find a way to do similar. But clearly, with the isolation caused by the pandemic, that's not going to be a solution for most of the elderly in the short-term.Quote:

The table shows the number of vaccinations for the U.S. trials not the number of people vaccinated outside the trials. The J&J trial was larger.Quote:

It's also possible the vaccines have nearly the same excellent efficacy numbers and that any differences have to do with the different trial periods.
The bottom line: Take Any Available Vaccine.
Thanks, that's what I figured, but thought I'd ask.Quote:

Daughter, 26 yo, took Moderna #2 yesterday. Kicked her ass. Nauseous, headache, extreme joint pain, fatigue.
Seems to be very localized. I know my mom would have gotten hers by now here in Gunnison county. She's in Jeffco (hence the goldenboy thing). MIL is Ohio.Quote:

Same for my friend's husband (56). I've heard 1) the Moderna is like that and 2) for younger people with a more robust immune system it is worse.Quote:

Eh... probably both because I've also heard the 2nd overall is worse.Quote:

And lots of folks that received the placebo had reactions.
Got moderna number 2, 24hrs ago. Really soar arm, more than the first shot. And a little stiff waking up this morning. Otherwise all good.Quote:

The second COVID-19 shot is a rude reawakening for immune cells.
Side effects are just a sign that protection is kicking in as it should. Dose No. 2 is more likely to pack a punch—in large part because the effects of the second shot build iteratively on the first.
When the immune system detects a virus, it will dispatch cells and molecules to memorize its features so it can be fought off more swiftly in the future. Vaccines impart these same lessons without involving the disease-causing pathogen itself—the immunological equivalent of training wheels or water wings.
Once delivered into the upper arm, the mRNA instructs the body’s own cells to produce a coronavirus protein called spike—a molecule that elicits powerful, infection-fighting antibody responses in people battling COVID-19.

I wake up on random Saturdays with migraines that last all day and unless I medicate they can be disabling. Totally random AFAIK except always on my first day off work. I have zero concern for the vaccine side effect beyond just general curiosity. Why do some people fixate? I'd get constipated if I worried about side effects on top of getting it in the first place.
My parents still seem exhausted after yesterday's double blind virtual hunger games appointment chase with Walgreens and the world's slowest internet service my dad refuses to upgrade.

You could potentially be eligible to get it in SL County. If you work in any Utah counties other than SL the lines are pretty shortQuote:
