My shingles vaccination was just a sore arm.

 

I hate to say anything bad about those in the health care field but it sure seems like our county health officer dropped the ball considering how long they had to plan. The state isn't much better. They seem to be just winging it. 

 

As for the vaccine being rushed, as far as I know this vaccine uses a different technology than previous vaccines that took much longer to bring to market. While it seems rushed, the best I can tell is its been properly vetted for safety.

This is such a big problem but there has been a lot of time to get to work on it.

Not pointing any fingers but sure would like to get our health dept working on this.

Soon I think we might get ours soon next month.

 

Until then just staying safe.We live out in the county so out of the mass of people.

Got mine thru work 1/08, ouch! Sore arm 1 1/2 days bad headache on left side of head same side got vaccine. Just yesterday started to feel normal. Worried about second shot. I think it’s referred to as booster shot, don’t think I want to go thru this again.

To look on the bright side - the fact that you had a reaction means the your immune system responded to the vaccine and is producing antibodies.   If you had no reaction then there would be a chance you didn't react to the vaccine and had a lower level of antibody production and immunity.

We are not expecting ours until the fall.  Still a long time before things return to something resembling "normal" up here.

I got my appointment last night for a May 14th vaccination. Being over 75 here in Santa Barbara County puts you right at the top of the list. I'm just not sure what list.

In Iowa your guess is as good as mine.. one question. Why do they not order those drug companies to share their drug recipe to ALL companies so we can get a faster rollout...ya i know $$$ ,but life over $$$$$

Be patient.  This has been a monumental success story.

Do you realize how exceptional it is to have vaccines developed this quickly? 

(Rant on)

Are you aware of what it takes to set up production lines that meet standards? Will they be reusable?

 

Logistics for volume shipping and storage from manufacturing to the states for a vaccine that must be kept at such low temps, setting up vaccinations such that the doses don’t expire before arriving in someone’s arm has been difficult.

 

Our governor has been so slow at deciding who gets the vaccine based on medical need, social justice rank, her union support, rural vs urban issues, complaining about receiving doses from the federal gov’t while being unable to organize mass vaccination events that could turn into super spreader events.

 

While I think big pharma is not always our best friend, in this case, they have really stepped up to respond to the task. 

What percent of the vaccines received has your state injected into arms?

 

How much are you being charged for your doses?

 

(Rant off)

 . . . Why do they not order those drug companies to share their drug recipe to ALL companies so we can get a faster rollout...

 

Because we want the drug companies to quickly develop drugs for the next crisis?

My dad got a letter from Kaiser. Congrats you're top of the list. Btw, we have no idea when you'll actually get vaccinated.

Well thank you for that information, had not thought of that. Sometimes I think we’re just along for the ride.
