So.....Who is FIRST? (Who WANTS to be first?)

As I currently test Positive, it is unlikely I am first in line. There will be no hesitation when I am eligible.

(This would have been the first year I was recommended to get pnenomia (sp?) Vaccine, too late!)

 

i will be last, unless it is mandatory

 

The plan here in FL is that the hospitals get it first, closely followed by nursing homes. I hadn't heard before reading this article that it's given by IV, not just a quick shot in the arm, and it takes two doses.

Yeah, I'll wait until all of the side effects shake out on the guinea pigs.

 

Plan to be the first to get it end of December if current timetables hold.

 

IV administered. Heck, experienced nurses screw up IVs sometimes.....so I imagine this would NOT be something you could get at your local Walgreens.

 

I'm in NY. My understanding is that the people most at risk of catching it are medical workers, emergency services types, and transit workers. I had assumed when a vaccine came around that they would be at the head of the line.

As for me? I have something like five nines of probability that I'll survive the covid, even if I don't like it. I don't know what exactly has been done for this "Operation Light Speed" program. I know lately the fed. govt. has put brutal pressure on various groups and agencies so they will do as they are told, regardless of whether it is actually wise.

I'm fine with letting Hollywood movie stars or big politicians rush to the head of line...

 

Ok, it has been two weeks since I was Positive, so today we retested and we both show Negative. (She was always Negative)

I will enquire at my drugstore if they have the Pneumococcal vaccine.

 

i get the pnu shot every 5 years. hurts a bit more than flu, but no after affects

 

As an essential worker, when the Boss says get it...I get it.

 

your wife?

 

In that story, the IV is not for the vaccine, but instead for this treatment for the already ill:
"... a new therapeutic developed by Eli Lilly. “The treatment is a monoclonal antibody cocktail. It is administered through an IV.""

For the vaccines, the state has purchases regular syringes and needles.

As for when I'll go get it, that depends on additional information not yet released. Maybe I should get an MMR booster now instead, then wait until Fauci speaks candidly with P46.

 

The first 2/3rds of what you assume, matches what I've actually been hearing.

 

Sinovac has been rattling around here for a while, but not such that I could join. Just today Shanghai airport* had a case or few, so the current play would be to fly there and get roped in.

In a general sense I would 'present arm' to many vaccines in development. I have been hiding my lungs since late January, and immune syst ought to crank up on something. Let's get this party started.

*one of them.

 

I'm pretty sure they'll have the pneumonia vaccine. We got ours at our nearby Sam's Club pharmacy. (Also the flu and shingles shots.)
