I like to think we are a good cross section of America! And I saw another poll and am curious if we are close to it.
If the vaccine is proven effective, yes.
All vaccines go through a rigorous set of trials to determine if they are safe and if they do what they are designed to do. Once the powers to be say they effective, I will surly get a shot. I guess if someone thinks that this whole thing is a hoax, they should probably pass.
We have had all three of ours.That's odd about the test kits. I was able to place a second order as soon as it was announced. As for the vaccine I have had all 3 shots. My mother is in assisted living and I think I did it more for her safety than mine. And it seemed to work as I was heavily exposed to 2 people with covid back in December. I didn't catch it.
Email from Post Office said I could order 4 test kits twice.
So I ordered the 4 test kits and as soon as I completed the order it told me I could order 4 more right away. Weird...
I tried to order 4 more and it told me I couldn't because I already had two orders.
Guess it counts the "2" I got back in January as 4.
That's the government for you...

Did you get the 2 kits when they were first offered ?

I am apparently all alone. I voted and am the lone no vote currently.
We went out today to Sams and a couple other places. You wouldn't think there is any type of virus. people everywhere, very few masked people.
I got a notice this morning stating that a second booster has been approved.
Is the fed still paying for it ?

I'm not eligible for my second booster. Yet I agree with this sentiment. COVID as a crisis is over, we're going to need to learn to live with it. Part of that includes a good portion of the population getting annual shots. Just like the flu.

Ideally, at some point, they figure out how to merge flu into the covid shot so it is only one shot per year.
Just got my 2nd Pfizer booster and my pneumonia booster shot a couple hours ago.
Just got my 2nd Pfizer booster and my pneumonia booster shot a couple hours ago.
Is that pneumonia booster solely for viral pneumonia or does it handle bacterial too?
Just saw this today.My wife and I will get our 4th on Monday
CDC recommends fourth Pfizer and Moderna Covid vaccine doses for people age 50 and older.
I gave what they call Power Red. I started off many years ago giving whole blood. Then, for about 15 years did apheresis. They asked if I had the time to give this Power Red. It may have been 90 minutes with paper work, but the draw was about 40 minutes. I will let them explain it...
Power Red Donation
During a Power Red donation, you give a concentrated dose of red cells, the part of your blood used every day for those needing transfusions as part of their care. This type of donation uses an automated process that separates your red blood cells from the other blood components, and then safely and comfortably returns your plasma and platelets to you.
With just a little extra time at your appointment, you can donate more red cells and increase your impact on patients in need. Learn more about Power Red donations.
Who it helps: Red cells from a Power Red donation are typically given to trauma patients, newborns and emergency transfusions during birth, people with sickle cell anemia, and anyone suffering blood loss.
Time it takes: About 1.5 hours
Ideal blood types: O positive, O negative, A negative, and B negative
