Emtbsam Posted January 21, 2021 #76 Share Posted January 21, 2021 In North Florida it is a “cluster”. Even as a first responder and well over 70, we have been unable to get a vaccine. I heard a local doctor might have the vaccine but only for her established patients! Unfortunately, I might have to go to her because I think I re -injured my meniscus after a long walk today. Bummer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joseph This is from The Saga Website; What if I am exempt from receiving the vaccine? If you are exempt from receiving the vaccine you will be able to travel with us by confirming the exemption at the time of booking and again at the time of travel.

dun123das Posted January 23, 2021 #82 Share Posted January 23, 2021 I had my first AZ vaccine yesterday, my 88 year old sister had hers about three weeks ago. Sore arm today and a bit tired, but nothing to put me off the second dose when it is offered. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare drron29 Posted January 31, 2021 #83 Share Posted January 31, 2021 Yes here down under we are waiting for our vaccinations but that is the fair and proper thing.There is no Covid emergency here so we have not had Emergency Authorisations of vaccines.Pfizer does have Conditional Authorisation now. We also don't know whether Pfizer will begin it's delivery on time.No Moderna or J&J vaccine coming our way as they refuse to negotiate with the Government. But the Oxford vaccine is being manufactured here so will be what most people get. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, not yet. We are in the fortunate position we can wait given our limited amount of community transmission nationwide (there are only 16 active cases at present outside of hotel quarantine). It may be a few weeks or so away. Further, there may be restrictions on categories who receive it given some evidence of lack of efficacy in older people at the present time. There is, too, general public tolerance of keeping our borders closed for now. I'm sure drron29 has a view.

Rare drron29 Posted February 2, 2021 #86 Share Posted February 2, 2021 No approval yet.only the Pfizer vaccine.But as the UK and EU have given authorisation and the Oxford vaccine is to be produced here I have no doubt that will be forthcoming.

MrsWaldo Posted February 2, 2021 #87 Share Posted February 2, 2021 (edited) Miss Dr W (or is Dr Miss W?) has been told via her hospital they will be given Oxford in late Feb. As a JMO she isn't eligible for Pfizer.. A friend who is also JMO but is on ICU rotation got the go for Pfizer.... given she will be on a different team a few days later and Miss Dr W in ICU ????

Rare crusinbanjo Posted February 2, 2021 #88 Share Posted February 2, 2021 Being 65 and healthy, we will not even be considered until sometime in April, assuming vaccine is available in our state. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure when I am going to be able to get vaccinated. I’m in the 1b category so qualify but the supply here is very low and appointments extremely difficult to get. Still waiting in my wife’s hematologist to say yay or nay to her getting vaccinated. My wife’s next routine appointment is in April so we may not know until then. There is an outside chance that her agency.....a military medical command but on the administrative side not direct patient care....will start vaccinating their personnel sooner than April. If they do my wife will contact her doctor for guidance. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rucrazy Posted February 2, 2021 Author #90 Share Posted February 2, 2021 We are due for our 2nd Moderna shot Monday the 8th... we are so excited to have a chance at beating this virus...Gotta be honest this thing scared the Sh*t out of us...

Rare PaulMCO Posted February 2, 2021 #91 Share Posted February 2, 2021 We will get our 2nd dose of the Pfizer vaccine tomorrow. Was very lucky in January to be on the county site when the opened vaccine appointments in January. Was able to get two appointments plus called our cruise friend neighbors and they were also able to get appointments the same day. Following week they opened vaccines at Publix and was able to get my neighbors mom an appointment for the Moderna jab. Basically luck in first case and combination of luck and IT persistence on the second. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Emtbsam Posted February 3, 2021 #93 Share Posted February 3, 2021 We did get out first vaccine last Friday not because of our ages, but because we are first responders. I was shocked to learn that the entire county had only received 100 doses for the week! I was also amazed to see that the reception staff at the county health department was not wearing masks and the RN who administered the shot had a mask that kept slipping down below her nose.

Hope it's not a doozy 🙂 Those who got the 2nd Moderna last week said no reaction at all. Perhaps it's all personal. Hope so because I've decided not to flinch:-) 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
