If the shots are available, as the article states, why not give them out in the US to those who have not been able to get one yet, which is most of the population, before shipping the to our neighbors?

Well, I keep finding tons of openings and options now. Given that a huge majority of working people have just been eligible since yesterday. This is very strange because availability for only a small percentage had limited options. No its not because we have a vast amount more vaccine all the sudden when you run the numbers vs eligible.

I just upgraded to April 11th in Albany with Pfizer ( still)

AstraZeneca isn’t approved in the U.S. yet, thus handing off reserved doses is no loss to us right now.

Read an article on msn this morning that the AstraZeneca vaccine is expected to be approved in the US in April, so at max, less that 45 days out and probably shorter.

So the question still is, why give doses away (or sell them for the capitalist crowd) to other countries before everyone in the US that wants a shot, gets a shot — not can maybe get a shot by “X” date, depending on a lot of factors that may or may not come through, but actually get a shot?

My understanding is that the doses aren’t being given away, or sold, but rather loaned to our neighbors who are able to use them now with an expected repayment of doses in the future.

Or amnesty now, secure the border later.

My sister got her second dose of moderna vaccine today, on her birthday no less. So far so good.

Got second shot today. No side effects thus far.

My wife had her second last week. No issues until almost exactly 24 hours later. She then got nauseous, cold sweats, and throbbing arm. Tylenol took care of it after a few hours, although her arm was sore for 3-4 days.

About 24 hrs after my second moderna shot I got a fever and felt generally crappie. (Ha!) Although they say the anti-inflammatories are fine for the symptoms, I got this idea that the discomfort was evidence that my body was doing what it was supposed to to create antibodies and I didn’t want to blunt that process, so, I didn’t take anything. Probably over-thinking it. Anyway, after 8 or so hours the fever and discomfort disappeared in an instant.

We are making appointments for the other 2 girls this week ( 15 n 13). The oldest got her first dose couple of weeks ago. She had a sore arm but that was it.

If Superintendents around the country are serious about getting back to normal this coming fall, you would think they would have clinics right at the school starting now, into the summer. Just another thought on getting shots in arms.

Wow!

You are really on them.

Is that typical?

Wow-zers!!! Nice fish HT.

Nice!  if you keep on them....keep the pics coming...!
 

Hero to zero. Can't buy a bite tonight.
Jack, if you think you can mimic a 10 " herring and get it 36 feet down in a tidal current, you might catch one on a fly rod. I've tried for a lifetime and we produce with live bait
