Indeed !!!! The world s is ill equipped for handling world wide crisis like a pandemic. Will it learn from this current experience??

There are major evens like this one that transcend individual politics and all nations must work together. There is no real WORLD leadership/organizations . for these kind of crisis.

 

I stand corrected.
Moderna is the one we are getting.

 

One thing I did learn today. It seems I was wrong that our government hadn't thought of ordering vials in advance, they were pushing manufacture last August, just takes longer than I thought to make 200m vials. So well done Boris on that one.

 

You stand corrected.
<thinking of Star Fleet formality, maybe USN too>


So why no easier access for vaccinations
as with flu shots and shingles vaccination
available at many local pharmacies?

Accessing the limited vaccination sites is absurd
for a government system promoting, vaccination.


AND do support anti viral medications!
Side effects so minimal, they should get jump started!
Ivermectin. Flumadine. Etc. & combinations.

 

Actually I was sitting corrected. But no matter.

Mine is coming from the local pharmacy 1,000 at a time.

 

Question: Are the vaccinations normally given out at pharmacies pre drawn (supplied in a syringe)? In the UK pre drawn drugs can be given by a pharmacist, but where the drug comes in a vial it has to be a qualified medical practitioner.

 

IMO the mRNA vaccines are not practical for general use

 

More infectious Covid-19 variants have emerged around the world, and experts are saying the United States must adapt to a changed pandemic playing field.

The next six weeks are not going to be that good.


According to the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, these variants spread more easily, and it’s unknown whether the illness caused is more severe. The Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine was found to be only slightly less effective against the South African variant.

 

Following a record nationwide surge in early January for hospitalizations from COVID-19, which has so far infected over 26 million Americans and killed more that 444,000, health care workers at U.S. hospitals are speaking out about the toll of serving on the front lines of the pandemic.
Health Care workers are saying on how exhausted they are. who can blame them?

 

Dodger Stadium mass vaccination site briefly shut down by anti-vaxxers this weekend, police say (msn.com)
This anit vaxxer raid was uncalled for. That's all I will say for now.

 

Reading the article, they had no effect on the number being vaccinated. What is more scary is that a country like America is failing so badly to give its citizens the most basic education.

 

Amen to that.

 

Federal government to ship Covid vaccines to retail pharmacies next week

https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/wh...acies-next-week-n1256500?cid=eml_nbn_20210202

this should help in making things more organized.

 

Look for it at Walgreen's and CVS Pharmacy? How much will they have. Will government ship to Grocery stores as well?

 

Never shake! Only swirl. Even us hicks administering vaccines in the neck with 16 gauge needles know to be gentle with the product!

 

I have a friend who’s a retired pharmacist. I just texted him your question. In the US pharmacists can and do administer both pre drawn and vaccines supplied in a vial.

 

Russia's Sputnik V vaccine 91.6% effective with two doses, tests show

https://news.sky.com/story/covid-19...-effective-with-two-doses-tests-show-12206918

 

I'm not sure I trust this.
What puzzles me is that Russia claimed they had their vaccine tested and passed back in August 2020, yet they claim only 1.5 million people vaccinated since then and even this number is much disputed.

America at its worst might try to justify its errors, but its still democratic enough not to falsify its numbers.

 

What would be better? Get the COVID-19 vaccine shot at a place like Walgreen's, CVS Pharmacy, Rite Aid or any other pharmacy, Or at a medical Clinic/ Hospital environment? It is a question that we should answer whether we decide what is best for us when we want to fight off this pandemic. We must all be prepared for this before it gets worse. It goes to us
all wherever we live, work or whatever. Think about it.

 

After you get the shots, how long will it take effect? Does anyone know?

 

Coronavirus cases falling across the country

If the vaccine require two shots, after the first one you are not exactly protected, so you have to wait for a week after the second shot to be really protected. Then the protection should last for no less than 6-8 months and for no more than 1 year.
We can say this on the base of the experience with the flu vaccine. Anyway there are no available statistical data regarding these new vaccines [obviously]. This is also why it's better to vaccinate how many persons is possible in a relatively little time to reach the herd immunity before that the first vaccinated subjects will be no more protected ...

But even if annoying, I cannot exclude that there will be the necessity to vaccinate all a second time before of the end of 2021.
We will see.

 

Johnson & Johnson seeks emergency authorization for vaccine

https://www.politico.com/news/2021/...ks-emergency-authorization-for-vaccine-466033

More "ammunition" to combat this virus.

 

That's sounds reasonable to me.
