Second Vaccination Done

Be glad you are not in the Vancouver, Seattle area where even those who are scheduled for shots will have a hard time reaching the facilities giving out the shots. It's been snowing like mad up here, where snow levels vary from 4 or 5 inches to more than a foot. Most off the snow came Friday night. and it is snowing right now.

I loved the snow for the first few hours. Now, I am getting a little tired of it.

Pete, you can keep that snow. I never want to see snow again except in a picture.

I agree with rafterbr, any information we can put out there for the folks at lakeside is for the community benefit. Let each individual make their own decision on whether it is valuable to them or not.

I probably should have stayed more on topic, it is just that our host, CanuckBob comes from Vancouver and I was just letting him know how lucky he is that he is down there lakeside and not up here in the thick of a snowstorm.

no true because the vaccines we are getting here are RUSSIAN, Chinese and astreca seneca.. the pfizer ones are for the health personel for their second vaccine..
How many of you in the states are getting Russan Chinese or astreca Seneca?

well this morning I jeard what I was wondering about.. All vaccines are not equal but they allprotect 100% against severe covid.. so ne it..

You mean they have a vaccine against Russians & Chinese?

ha ha that would be good but I do not think we are there yet.. Seriously .. we are the guinea pigs IF they give us stuff that is not approved but who knows, we may learn something good out of this all mess..

My oldest sister, who lives in California, had a mild case of covid-19 last summer and got through it with no lingering side effects. A few days ago she got her first shot of the Moderna vaccine and after a few hours she started feeling very bad---achy, chills, fever. She called the clinic and was told that her reaction is not uncommon for people who had already been exposed to the virus. They also told her that it is the same reaction that happens to some people (people who have not previously had the virus) after their second vaccination . It took her about 24 hours to start feeling better.

A doctor I know almot died of covid a year ago.. He felt the same as your sister  after the  first shot but was sick for a week with the second shot..but he says it is worth it because he says that if you get a strong case of covid it is horrible..

Masks work, just some are not as effective as others. I read last week that if you combine the blue surgical with a cloth mask over it, it is pretty protective. Who knows really? There are so many contradictory studies out there who can decide. Whatever the CDC recommends (flawed as they may be), that is what I am sticking with.

Received my 2nd Moderna yesterday morning.

I had a little discomfort in the middle of the night, nothing serious.  Ready to travel about 1 March.

I am sorry she has had to wait so long. There is probably zero data on this, but waiting too long between doses, will it affect the effectiveness of the vaccine? I would hope that it does not, but I worry like everybody else.

My wife got her first vaccine today. The Chickasaw's, my tribe, are now giving shots to tribal member spouses. She received the pfizer and complained it hurt her arm but there was no shot place reaction and after I bought her blueberry pancakes, she felt much better. They are now reporting the first Pfizer shot can be up to 90% effective and many countries may now only give one shot in order to vaccinate more people.

Some idiots that STILL do not wear masks in Florida AND every other state in the United States. It's not just a Florida thing. There are people out their who will not wear masks or get vaccinations no matter how much information is out there that they should do so.

Florida, open for business, go to the store, eat at a restaurant, schools open since Sept 2020 and infection here is lower than those states that are locked down. What does that tell you?

In Oklahoma the Chickasaws are now giving vaccine to every tribal member, every employee of the tribe (they are 3rd largest employer in Oklahoma), and every educator. Also every family member of the above whether they live at home or not. Only restriction is they must be of legal age, 16 and 18 respectfully.
