    Governments screwing up the implementation of something? Huh. Who would have thought. I agree that the inequity of communities that suffered the most during this needs to be a strong factor in where the vaccines go, but paralysis through analysis trying to be legalistic on it helps no one.   
    In Canada, our largest pharmacy, shoppers drug mart offered to do the vaccinations.  They can do 3 million a week.  We just need vaccine...

    I have been reading the accounts of the vaccine difficulties up there. It is a mess for sure.

    I wish I could find the other article, because it said if they just focused on speed, getting vaccine out to whomever, it would benefit the wealthy of course, but long term it's better for the disadvantaged as well.  Vaccines should go where there are arms ready to receive.
    That’s essentially how they are doing it here.  They are loosely following guidelines, but it is a walk in system and I have not heard of anyone being turned away.  No issue at all getting these rolled out around here, and nearly a quarter of the population of about 200k have already had their first round of shots.
    The ones that are doing poorly are the ones that are adhering too strictly to certain population protocols and trying to maintain appointments, etc.  Just get as many people as possible to administer shots and give to as many as possible daily.  
    We’ve already been seeing a pretty large decline in hospital admittance after giving shots for 2 months.

    Where?
    Deep in the heart of TX.  I’m wary of giving the exact location in a public forum because there is a real fear of people from other areas flooding in.  I’ll disclose after I get my second shot on Monday, haha

    I work in post secondary education and the only one's who have been vaccinated or offered vaccination are those who are in the health care fields, but even that isn't everyone. Our research dept. is working on pulling together the data on who has been offered and who has received. Basically everyone I work with is waiting and wants to get one, but we all assume it will be at least a few more months, if not more. I do think we have more demand than supply right now so sticking with the rollout plan is probably best until they have the resources needed to give out on demand.
    It's a hopeless situation...

    That’s crazy, we have a pretty large healthcare population and all of them were vaccinated back in December...
    The 65+ population started getting theirs 1st of January and they have gradually loosened restrictions since.  How are they actually administering them there, by appointment or?  Here they have 30 booths.  A person goes in and fills out 1 page paperwork in one room, then gets called to a booth to get the shot.  It’s a revolving door.

    My personal thoughts:
    Give a 2 week window for one at-risk demographic.  
    After that 2 weeks is up, open up to another at-risk group (but still allow ones from the prior window to come in).
    After the at-risk populations have had their windows, start a lottery (like the draft) to keep too many people from flooding in.  You could do it by SSNs or birthdays or whatever.  If they are not getting all available doses administered on a particular day, open up to the next in line or to anyone willing to get it.
    The worst scenario is wasted vaccines or having vaccines expire.

    Moderna 2nd dose on Monday.  Not looking forward to it, everyone we know had a rough time after.  We are getting it at the same time so we will be down together if we are down lol
    She cancelled Tuesday's patients just in case, so we don't have to work at least.

    Has anyone here who already had Covid gotten the vaccine? I am curious because I had read a few articles that suggested that some people who already had the virus are getting more side effects with the first shot. Apparently, the first shot for someone who had Covid can be like the second shot for those who haven’t. I even read some suggestions that people who have had Covid may get the same protection with only one shot since it acts like a booster. If you had Covid and already gotten your first shot (or both shots) what was it like?
