Doses Delivered: 4.7 million! (very big day) (152,000 J&J)
Total Administered: 2.3 million (strong day) (196,000 J&J - up a bit)
New People Receiving 1st Dose: 1.5 million (strong)
People Fully Vaccinated: 947,000 (good day)
Strong inventories on hand (34.5 million).
Nationwide, deaths, hospitalizations and new cases continue downward trends.
J&J has not yet picked up to a significant rate of administration - just dribbling along 100-200K per day. They should ramp up to more like a million a day over the coming weeks.
Here in NY, the state runs a centralized website for appointments. Still having cut-offs of 60+ age and/or chronic health issues, or public-facing workers
Nonetheless, I have noticed available appointments are appearing at many of the State vaccine sites only 7-10 days out. A very big change from just a week or two ago.
Will the CDC also give on-going updates on the number of side-effects caused by the vaccines ?
My intuition says they will not.
Had both shots of Moderna. Left arm was sore for a couple days after the first shot. Less sore with very slight swelling after the second shot.
Colleagues reported fatigue, headache, and slight fevers. All resolved within 1-2 days.
Most people i know have had a rough day the day after the second shot, and thats it. I got the J&J vaccine and no side effects whatsoever. Not even a sore arm.
Most people I know had no reaction after shot 2....including me.
I had dose one of Pfizer so far— similar side effects, not much different from the last flu shots I had.
This is what’s going to convince 95% of the skeptics out there: hearing from their friends, neighbors, and family members who got the vaccines that they’re no big deal. Given the choice between a sore arm, fever, and/or headache and a disease with a 5% chance of putting you in the hospital and a 0.65% chance of killing you (across the entire population), it’s a pretty easy choice.
There will be a small number of people who will never get vaccinated (probably under 1-2%). The other 98-99% will be happy to put this all behind us.
I had much better luck booking a vaccine appt with CVS pharmacy than that CDC VAMS web site.
Will the CDC also give on-going updates on the number of side-effects caused by the vaccines ?”
Not on the same website.
They are tracked through the Vaccine Adverse Events Reporting System (VAERS), like all other vaccines.
Bottom Line: All vaccines have some side effects, The authorized COVID vaccines don’t particularly stand out, from general vaccine norms.
While I don't know what the accurate number is, I think 1-2% is way too low. I know many who will not get the vaccine.
I’m healthy, in my early 50s. I normally wouldn’t be in a hurry to try a new vaccine, but my mother-in-law has cancer, on immunosuppressants.
She needs my wife’s and my help for everyday things, so for that reason, we are both trying to “jump the queue” to get a jab.
About 40% of the American public will likely decline the vaccine. Almost everyone I know says no way. I said not in a million years. You don’t need an experimental vaccine for a virus hardly anyone dies from. If you want it take it at your own peril. Don’t try to coerce others into it.
Perhaps I should have stipulated :
the long-term side-effects.
Indeed. I don't understand the incessant push for the vaccine. My mom is 82 and doesn't want it. With everybody pushing her to get the vaccine, she is less and less interested. I only know one person who was vaccinated and now they wish they didn't. Why, I didn't ask.
I have talked to over 100 seniors in my condo complex.
No one had any serious side effects from the vaccine.
Tell your Mom if God forbid she catches the China virus and gets sick enough to require hospitalization, she will be isolated in a air-tight plastic tent, and no one will be allowed to visit her, or comfort her.
My mom will do my mom, you can do you. I’ll do me.
He can also tell his mom that the doctor will prescribe HCQ, zinc and a Zpak and she will likely be fine.
We’ve really entered an age where everyone wants to do the thinking for everyone else. It’s completely in-American. Let me be me.
