No one should give a crap what they "recognize".
And obviously........none do.
ATC is too full of themselves.

Wife and I both received our second Pfizer shots today. I guess I will be carrying my vaccine card around with me this summer on Bartram Trail, rest of NH & ME on AT, and the Colorado Trail Collegiate Loop. At least that is the plan.

Being vaccinated only means you are unlikely to ill from it. Your immune system recognizes it quickly.
I don't think it means you cannot contract it at all, or spread it.
The chances of being less sick....do mean lower chance of spread. But most spreaders are asymptomatic anyway. Spread well before any symptoms develop, if any develop at all.

Double hit today with my flaws being advantages. In meeting today I was told older people have less drastic reactions to COVID vaccines than younger people. Then saw this article about wearing glasses making you less like to get COVID.

I get Pfizer shot number 1 tomorrow.
I've found the differences between the various registration websites "interesting." Without boring you with the details, I do want to point out one sigficant difference between the Cobb County and the State of Georgia sites.
In Cobb, appointments are taken on Friday at 5:00. So at 5:00 everyone over 65 (80,000 people) and the 4 or 5 jobs that are eligible all try to log on at once. You can guess what the end result is.
In the State system, you can register 24/7 at your leisure. When they have vaccine available for the upcoming week, they notify the number of people they can handle by email to log on and make an appointment.
One system is barely functionable. One system works great. Not hard to figure out which is which.

Our University had us fill out a Google Sheet time slot. Pick the empty spot, show up at that time and one minute later you have your shot, sit around for 15 minutes and then life goes on. Then sent email to come back at same time 2 weeks later.max.patch wrote:

Only hiccup was the snow storm, so early last week they sent email telling Thursday people come on Saturday, Friday people on Sunday. Same process with no lines, show prior paperwork, shot in 1 minute, sit down for 15 minutes and off you go.
Listening to some of the horror stories from other I am grateful it was so easy for me.

Wanna get vaccinated ASAP but you're not old enough yet or in one of the approved specific groups?
Move to North Carolina. They just made it easy to qualify.
<snip>
"RALEIGH, N.C. (WNCN) – North Carolina is moving to vaccinate those in Group 4 against COVID-19 beginning on March 24.
As part of Group 4, if you are a smoker (current or former) who has consumed at least 100 cigarettes in your lifetime, you too can get vaccinated, according to the North Carolina Department of Health and Human Services."
Is it just a coincidence that NC grows more tobacco than any other state?

Daughter in Raleigh just got her first dose of the Pfizer vaccine today. She does TA work and performs research with amputees. And doesn't smoke.
My wife and I are just waiting for J&J to announce employee vaccinations. Might be a while yet.

Getting mine from Kroger next week. You just have to keep checking multiple times a day. I checked Kroger, Walmart, Sam's Club, aND Bon Secours four or more times a day for over a week and finally got a break today. Had a long Q & A after which when I hit the last button it told me the time I selected was no longer available. I was What?? Nooooo. Went back and picked another time ( they were down to like a handful of choices) and pecked at the keyboard as fast as I could and got my appointment.

I'll give Duke Medical some credit for their vaccination plans. My son is currently in his last PT clinical rotation at a Duke U hospital. Initially, students were not eligible to receive the vaccine because they are expressly forbidden to work with Covid patients during clinical assignments. Then someone with a shred of common sense realized that there is no guarantee that the patient receiving hands-on care from a PT student isn't asymptomatic. So Duke then reversed course and vaccinated all of their med students.odd man out wrote:

Heading to Raleigh in May for his graduation. With my pending vaccination, I'll be licking doorknobs and kissing strangers. Mmmmmm... doorknobs.

my daughter did PA clinicals much of last yr.....no vaccines. Worked with drs and nurses that caught it, etc. Starts job next week, I think she gets vaccine now. We had a special graduation ceremony for PA class that parents attended.....school graduation was taped with no visitors. My son graduates in may...will be pre recorded then viewed at home.

Got my first vaccine yesterday. Pfizer. It was no big deal, just a little stick. My arm is barely sore this morning. Now the shingles vaccine, that one made my arm hurt and I had a big red hot area at the injection site for days.

In his last tip he talks about using hand sanitizer. I thought soap and water was more effective to help get rid of the covid .

The vaccination process was a lot like voting.
You drive to a central location,
you wait in line for 2-3 hours,
you finally get to do what you came there to do,
and they give you a sticker as you leave.
