I got my second Pfizer shot yesterday. No problem and my HMO in Tally has done a great job of organizing and scheduling. There were old people running around everywhere and I thought it would be chaotic. Instead, I just walked in, no wait and right out the door.
85% against severe illness is a good number. There were also no deaths in the J&J study. I’m not sure if I will be given a choice but I would be comfortable with all 3.
I think it’s before that. J&J says they’ll have 100M doses in the US by end of Q2 (June) and both Moderna and Pfizer have said they’ll have 100M doses each by end of Q1 (March). So the supply is going to ramp up. Remember, there are something 260M adults in this country and prob a full 1/4 won’t get the vaccine for whatever reason. So really we’re only looking at needing to get 200M people done. I just hope the people who choose not to don’t keep this thing around allowing it to continue to mutate, but im afraid that’s what we as a society deserve.
It was always going to mutate, as all viruses do. They know this and we’re expecting it. Not sure why the rhetoric is over the top about it right not.

Which doesn’t mean there should be time wasted in getting people vaccinated.It was always going to mutate, as all viruses do. They know this and we’re expecting it. Not sure why the rhetoric is over the top about it right not.
From June.
COVID-19 Will Mutate — What That Means for a Vaccine
The new coronavirus has already mutated a handful of times, which has many people wondering whether the mutations could lead to a more severe, deadlier disease. But the new mutations are extremely similar to the original virus and don’t seem to be any more aggressive.
Absolutely. I am looking forward to AZ and J&J vaccines approval. As you said I think it could really speed things up.
Just get down and dirty and go for it! Got my first pfizer (.3 ml) today! Will be back in three weeks.
In Tennessee, you don’t get out of your car. You go to Vol State CC in my county. You stop at first station to provide ID. Then next station you get the shot. Decided it was time to bite the bullet and get it over with.
"Antibody tests indicate you had a previous infection and that you may have some level of protection against the virus. Experts are currently looking at how COVID-19 vaccination may affect antibody testing results."
I was a the Service for 39 years and retired in 2018.. I started getting the flu vaccine about 8 years ago when I was 50 yo and the department was providing it. I want to see the results of this Covid vaccine for a few year before taking it. I am curious to know how many people who received the flu vaccine last year developed Covid. It would be an interesting study.
Very interesting. There were rumblings a couple months back that it could play a factor in protection. Haven’t heard anything since so it must be good news. 😁

My wife and I will be getting our second Moderna shot in a week or two.... we were wondering if you had any 'effects' as some have mentioned flu-like symptoms for a couple of days.... TIA! :~)
Doctors and Insurance Companies really highly recommend seniors take flu shots and two different pneumonia shots. I got 1st Pfizer shot today, after my Doctor recommended it and I did a lot of research.
Spoke to my brother today who received the 2nd Moderna dose yesterday at lunch. Said his arm was a little sore and his temperature was fluctuating a little. It wasn't affecting his day too much.
