Welcome to Our Forums. Once you've registered and logged in, you're primed to talk football, among other topics, with the sharpest and most experienced fantasy players on the internet.
We're already there in my area. When I got mine, at Wallgreens, there was no one else there, no line. I asked if my wife could get one and they said "any time today, or tomorrow, or whenever she can get here." I tried to make an appointment and they said she can just stop in anytime for the shot. We had to check a box on the form that said we are "essential workers" - which is technically true but not really the case in any practical sense.
At some point, even in the slow-rolling northeastern states ... most or all of the vaccine-eligibility protocols will probably all kind of fall away at once without a lot of warning. That's basically what happened in Louisiana on March 9th.
Good news for your hopefully
What you described is pretty much how it went for me
Your neighbors to the north are doing no better, though finally yesterday did announce that we're moving to a new phase next Wednesday, after nearly three months in the 65+ group. Next up are grocery store workers and the like. I suppose I'll be eligible May 1 only due to Biden's statement yesterday; otherwise I expect it would be summer...sometime.
I'm in OC and I think I'm going to need to volunteer at a vaccination event to get mine before June. Or lie on my check-in... which I won't do.
Were in the IE. My wife wants one bad too and was talking about the volunteer thing also. Seems like a good idea. The lying thing (which I know you said you won't do) won't work, security was tight. I had to bring my Drivers License, a pay stub and a note on letterhead from my company. All got checked 3 or 4 times by different people. Was no joke.
My wife, who has been the "extra careful" one in our family, wants to wait on the vaccine for some reason. Definitely NOT an anti-vaxxer. Just wants to wait a year or so until potential side effects are known.dkp993 said:
Does that go for personal air travel too, or just work?nirad3 said:
I was a little surprised at the shoulder soreness (I also got Moderna, if it matters).El Floppo said:
Is there a BMI number or range listed? EDIT: Went and looked it up -- BMI has to be 40 or more in California to be eligible. That's about 280 lbs for a 5'10" man, or 300 lbs for a 6'1" man.I heard you have to be SUPER-obese to qualify under the "obese" pre-existing condition. I'm "fairly fat" and don't think I'll qualify there. Maybe I should take up smokin' cigs.
my shoulder was crazy sore that night. Hurt like hell to raise my arm even a bit. Next day was 80% better
NC opens up to category 4 soon. Having smoked 100 cigarettes in your lifetime counts. This is really a sign of not enough demand for vaccines
I have no plans to travel for personal reasons in the next 6-8 months. Potentially going to Tahoe in the Fall, but I could very well just make that a longer road trip.
Yeah I'm a good inch one way or the other and 30-50 pounds away from the California numbers.
Kind of regretting this run-of-the-mill obesity I've got going on and not the morbidly kind though I am always up for a challenge.krista4 said:
The one that sticks in my craw is the gal who does some bookkeeping for my boss and has been a vocal anti-vaxxer (both in our office and on her social media) her entire adult life and got fully vaccinated two weeks ago because she teaches yoga once a week to ONE - 111!!!!11111juan - one elderly person who lives in the mildest form of an old folks' home.bostonfred said:
Good god, I could move to your state and work every Christmas party in every Perish as the fattest man in your state and retire at 65 comfortably. My word, I haven't seen 180 in years.
Not a chance, slimGood god, I could move to your state and work every Christmas party in every Perish as the fattest man in your state and retire at 65 comfortably. My word, I haven't seen 180 in years.
We got a lot of big-eatin' Cajuns down here. And that's before you get into the folks that live on Creole food, soul food, Popeye's chicken, the jillion po-boy places, the rockin' Vietnamese food. All the festival food. Crawfish. Lenten fish fry. Lots of eatin'.
I understand why that’s annoying, and you have a right to be peeved, but it’s good crazy people like that are getting the shot.
I'm getting the Johnson and Johnson shot next Friday.Ilov80s said:
General Malaise said:
Why is my question? You can get a Dr's note for anxiety right now in Florida and be over 18 and get the shot. You would think you couldn't get an appointment to get the shot but of course not true, CVS has appointment slots not filled up almost everyday. Publix(grocery store) runs pretty steady but you can get in within a week or less right now.krista4 said:
I think I might cut in line.
Washington State has administered a higher rate of shots and has a higher percentage of their population fully vaccinated than Florida.
Texas is like last in percentage of population fully vaccinated.
Sounds a lot like IllinoisGeneral Malaise said:
That is why it is so easy to get them in TX... people arent showing up. Just spend a little time on internet registering and it might take a few days for an appointment.Texas is like last in percentage of population fully vaccinated.
Where is everyone just getting these shots
I’m getting screwed here.
And FL has a lower rate of people who ultimately want the vaccine, which is why it is much easier to get one in FL than WA. (or IL.....)
90+% of people in WA want a vaccine, but they only have received enough doses for 20-25% of people to receive a shot so far.
If you drive into the smaller towns, there is a lot of availability. LIke you said - people just aren't taking it.
Yep got mine in Victoria. Literally just walked up to the convention center a month or so ago while I was out there working.
