Not starting until mid Feb. I will be in the second to last group which is fine, especially if my state remains free of community transmission. The government is very worried about the UK strain - they have locked down Brisbane for 3 days after a single case of it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/vaccine/page/2#post-2164294 Thu, 07 Jan 2021 20:50:03 +0000 Aquamarine 2164294@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Staysfit, thank you for your perspective and reassurance. My 20-something daughter is a clinical researcher in a major medical system here on the East coast, so pre-COVID she was always interacting with hospitalized patients. Now she is mostly remote BUT occasionally has to go into work and as we all know, any patient who was “healthy” yesterday could have COVID today. Still, she was rightly in one of the last waves scheduled to get vaccinated in her hospital (we figured late Feb. or early March). Yesterday she was informed her wave could schedule their shots immediately, and she is going in tomorrow for her first shot. Apparently so many people REJECTED their spot in line that the later waves can get injected much sooner than anyone expected. The hospital says data is showing the no-shows are mostly lower-tiered employees who face COVID exposure daily as they clean rooms, transport patients, etc., so clearly we are not doing our best to communicate the importance and safety of the vaccine. Sigh.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/vaccine/page/2#post-2164166 Thu, 07 Jan 2021 05:39:34 +0000 Bijou 2164166@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Staysfit - thank you for this very useful update. I am so glad that you have been given this as your work is so important. Hopefully as the vaccination program rolls out, fewer people will get sick, a circuit breaker is needed. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/vaccine/page/2#post-2163839 Tue, 05 Jan 2021 18:34:53 +0000 Peri 2163839@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks toronogirl, Style Fan and Janet. He is doing well overall so the biggest worry is less, but yes, it's an ordeal to manage all this in the age of Covid. Either one would be hard, together it's just a mess.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/vaccine/page/2#post-2163742 Tue, 05 Jan 2021 01:26:40 +0000 Molly Mac 2163742@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>As a health care provider working on a COVID unit, I felt so relieved to get my vaccine last week. Relief that I won’t carry the virus home to my family, relief that after a year I might see my Mom again soon, and relief that the death toll might finally start to flatten. The last 10 months have been truly exhausting. The only way out is for everyone who can safely do so to get vaccinated.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/vaccine/page/2#post-2163728 Mon, 04 Jan 2021 23:04:25 +0000 Janet 2163728@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Peri, that doesn’t sound right at all! I hope you can both get the vaccine soon, and I’m wishing your husband successful treatment and full remission. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/vaccine/page/2#post-2163727 Mon, 04 Jan 2021 22:12:20 +0000 Elle 2163727@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks so much for posting such helpful information.

My husband is a cancer patient and I'm the only caregiver, but his Dr told me he thinks my husband will be allowed early but I won't be. How does that make sense? I'm around him all the time, and when we need something we can't order it's me out in public, not him. I also go to all Dr appointments, and have a few of my own. If I get sick it would be equally bad for both of us. I admit to not understanding or being clear on the whole priority list, but I'm really hoping the Dr is wrong.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/vaccine/page/2#post-2163528 Sun, 03 Jan 2021 00:37:08 +0000 Anonymous 2163528@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Staysfit! I'm sure I'll be one of the last groups to get it- medical field but not seeing patients, 40s, and healthy. Hopefully my parents and inlaws, and older friends can get it soon! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/vaccine/page/2#post-2163490 Sat, 02 Jan 2021 22:00:06 +0000 Anonymous 2163490@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I hope DH and I can get the vaccine soon as we are both over 73 and have preexisting conditions but live at home. In our state prison guards and prisoners are next after care givers, emergency personnel and maybe those in Care facilities. Our state got much less vaccine than expected, so we know it will be awhile yet. Thank you for the reassurance Stayfit. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/vaccine/page/2#post-2163488 Sat, 02 Jan 2021 21:20:59 +0000 JAileen 2163488@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><div>As soon Dr Fauci promoted the vaccines, I was convinced I wanted it. &nbsp;</div><div><br /></div>In my state I’m in the last group to get the vaccine (healthy 18-64 year olds). &nbsp;My husband is older and in the earlier group and will be able to get it sooner. &nbsp;When he does, he’ll have to run all the errands. &nbsp; I joke about this, but I think my state will make subgroups within the last group, as they have just announced today, moving 75 year olds to the second group. &nbsp;I am the oldest in the last group, having missed the cutoff by a mere six months.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/vaccine/page/2#post-2163485 Sat, 02 Jan 2021 19:25:40 +0000 Anonymous 2163485@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm glad you posted this, Staysfit, as a surprising number of people seem to be wavering on the decision to get the vaccine. &nbsp;I'm waiting eagerly for mine. &nbsp;Never before have I wanted a shot so badly. &nbsp;And I don't mind a few side effects, either; I've had them before with other shots, and they always went away quickly. &nbsp;Thank you Pfizer and Moderna for rolling it out so quickly! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/vaccine#post-2163479 Sat, 02 Jan 2021 17:33:20 +0000 anchie 2163479@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I only know one person who received vaccine - my 85 year old uncle who is in assisted living. My parents still live at home and are 74 and 77, but with many health issues so I hope they will get theirs by the end of January. My work is organizing vaccinations for all employees that should start end of February over few weekends (5000 people) if everything goes according to plan. My husband and son are way down priority list and will probably have to wait until summer. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/vaccine#post-2163476 Sat, 02 Jan 2021 17:17:32 +0000 Helena 2163476@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes Bella ...

There are many many people around the world (who are also frontline or emergency workers) who may not be able to get a hold of the vaccine anytime soon:&nbsp;</p> <p><a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.bbc.com/news/world-55325450">https://www.bbc.com/news/world-55325450</a><br /><a rel="nofollow" href="https://slate.com/technology/2020/12/covid-vaccine-priority-inequality-zimbabwe.html">https://slate.com/technology/2.....babwe.html</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/vaccine#post-2163409 Sat, 02 Jan 2021 05:05:17 +0000 Gretchen 2163409@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Staysfit, thank you for sharing your experience! My mom and sister (both healthcare workers) were vaccinated on the 22nd, and I am so relieved. Now I"m hopeful for my in-laws to be vaccinated this month. I know my husband, kids, and I are much farther down the priority list, but every extra person protected reduces risk. Hopefully we will get the distribution hiccups handled and be able to HUG again by mid-year!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/vaccine#post-2163407 Sat, 02 Jan 2021 04:51:52 +0000 Staysfit 2163407@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>CJH, I’m sorry to hear that congregate care has not been placed in the highest priority in your region. &nbsp;I hope your MIL remains safe and healthy in this waiting period. &nbsp;</p> </p> <p>Annagybe, I hope your state gets to you soon! &nbsp;All our &nbsp;ER and inpatient folks received vaccines first. &nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <p><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div></p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/vaccine#post-2163405 Sat, 02 Jan 2021 04:26:31 +0000 annagybe 2163405@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ok, so I actually have been doing exams on COVID patients for a bit of time. I won’t get my shot until the end of January, due to scheduling issues.&nbsp;<br />Every state has a different role out. I admit that I’m a bit upset to see “civilians” get it before me. But I’m biding my time, and trying to be careful.<br />I will be very happy for the jab. Of those that I know that have had the first dose, there have been minimal side effects. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/vaccine#post-2163403 Sat, 02 Jan 2021 04:13:26 +0000 Kathie 2163403@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>We're waiting patiently. My DH is a teacher, so group 1B in our area. Just a few days ago our department of health indicated that they'll likely be able to start "1B" in February, so I have hope that he'll be able to get it in Feb/March. I'll be waiting a bit longer, since I can work from home- the only priority group I'm in is "over 40," so if I've had it by June, I'll consider myself lucky. I'll be curious if, by the time we get to the later groups, we'll have a choice of vaccine. Hoping the data the Johnson &amp; Johnson one and (US-based trials) for the Astra-Zeneca/Oxford one look good. And that authorization for vaccination of children will follow soon! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/vaccine#post-2163398 Sat, 02 Jan 2021 03:29:00 +0000 cjh 2163398@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you for the insight and information. It’s encouraging to hear of people actually getting their vaccinations. The closest to me so far is a niece who is a NICU nurse in another state.&nbsp;<div><br /></div><div>I’ve been a bit disappointed and, I admit, more than a bit angry about the slow distribution. Our county has made exciting news reports of healthcare workers being notified to receive vaccinations, while in the same article, deaths of more nursing home residents are announced. Please don’t take this wrong, as I really feel there are good reasons for the priority lists as they stand. However, as (I’ve mentioned before) my MIL is in assisted living facility, and my personal simmering underlying feeling is those vulnerable elderlies are the ones who are dying here, so they should be the first in line. I feel so afraid for them.</div><div><br /></div><div>She has signed consent forms and anticipates getting vaccination “early to mid January.” I hope that comes true. Never has time moved so slowly IMO.</div> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/vaccine#post-2163388 Sat, 02 Jan 2021 02:43:13 +0000 rachylou 2163388@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh thanks Staysfit!!

Everyone needs all the objective information they can get about this issue.&nbsp;</p> <p>Rollout in the US has been slow and disjointed, with no clear leadership. Most states have received far fewer doses than they were originally promised. I am hoping that as an educator, I can be in line for vaccination after essential workers and those with risk factors. I probably will not be able to see my mum again until either we are both vaccinated or I can quarantine this summer. Either way, it will probably be until summer.&nbsp;</p> <p>I believe in the science (and in science in general), and I will not hesitate to get the shot as soon as it is available to me. It is certainly better than the alternative of either potentially serious illness and/or continued isolation. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/vaccine#post-2163340 Fri, 01 Jan 2021 20:42:24 +0000 Stagiaire Fash 2163340@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Excellent!
