Yes, but these are still emergency and experimental.I suspect they’re opening up the availability because of the large number of people refusing to get the vaccine.
“I suspect they’re opening up the availability because of the large number of people refusing to get the vaccine.”
As of today’s report, 99,565,311 Americans have received at least a first shot.
Operation Warp Speed estimated about 100 million priority people (vulnerable and essential) would need to be vaccinated, to control the disease from a Public Health emergency perspective (hospitalizations and deaths).
So the bottom line is that the priority population is now substantially finished with first shots.
100 million Americans have already gotten a COVID-19 vaccine and that’s with most people not even eligible. Nearly everyone who was hesitant at the start has watched their friends, family members, and neighbors get vaccinated without issue. That gives them the confidence to move forward. Even now, it’s difficult to get your hands on a COVID-19 vaccine even if you are eligible because three major manufacturers can’t keep up with the demand.
There will be a small number who choose never to get it, and that’s fine. They have every right to do so. But it will be - in fact - a very small number.

For whatever reason, people are often not showing up. I have relatives who are PAs in NC. They told parents (under 65) & other aunts, etc. to go to vax clinics near the end of the time they were open to give shots - they would be able to get their vax regardless of what “class” they were in because the clinics didn’t want to waste what was unused. This happened to a number of people who were tipped off & in every case, there was no waiting, they got their jabs without leaving their cars & were even able to stay right where they were during the ‘waiting’ period because no one else was in line. One of the relatives drove by another vax site just to see if it was busier & it was empty except for law enforcement & medical personnel. I’ve heard similar stories numerous times.
I got invited today by mail for a COVID vaccine shot.
Still being magnanimous and letting some underserved person have mine. I feel so good about that.
These experimental vaccines are potentially dangerous. No one knows the mid to long term side effects. They make no sense at all when there are perfectly safe, cheap and effective treatments available.

DECEMBER 2020: SheepWhisperer household permanently closed to the experimental “fauci-ouchie”
Thanks for posting this info.
The next 10 yrs is going to be interesting. Using sacrificed babies can’t be good.
That worked for one family member and an adult offspring early in the game.
They actually got a call as they had signed up at a local hospital in case of no shows.
Since then that hasn’t worked for anyone. The husband of the relative, mentioned at first by me, had to drive over 50 miles and out of his county past 12 pharmacies on his way to get his shot.
He will get his second shot on Easter Sunday at the same pharmacy. Again he will pass those 12 pharmacies with the vaccine.
A SIL and a sibling in two other states got their first shot by signing up, and supposedly are in a computer line for the second shot. They are approaching the 42 day notice with no phone call nor computer connection.
Save electricity by not posting your old B$ and feel even better.
“I got invited today by mail for a COVID vaccine shot.”
Congrats.
I expect mine in the next few weeks.
One Frreper recommends tylenol for the side effects.
How many of the 100 million are actually double counted for their 2nd shot and how many only got the first and not the second shot?
As of this morning at 6am:
Fully Vaccinated: 56,089,614 Americans
People Vaccinated, At Least One Dose: 99,565,311

Who is getting the shots? I read overnight admission that about 50% of medical personnel have refused it, seen 1/3 and more noted for other law enforcement, etc., even prison guards. In any case, I think the numbers are very suspect as the media and government push is that this is going well, everyone that can is getting it, etc.
“How many of the 100 million are actually double counted for their 2nd shot and how many only got the first and not the second shot?”
It can be hard to suss out exact specifics, because some get the single shot, and there is also some reporting error.
The way they have been reporting however, there should be no second shots counted as firsts (except for small amounts of reporting error).
They don’t regularly report on how many fail to show for a second shot. In Israel, it was a very small single digit percentage, but they likely had tight follow-up procedures.
But if we work back from the CDC totals, we have 153,631,404 total administered, minus 99,565,311 with at least a first shot, equals 54,066,093 remaining.
56,089,614 are reported as fully vaccinated, so presumably, they received either a second shot, or their first was the J&J (single shot).
3,429,880 J&J shots are reported as administered, so presumably, they would be counted as both “At Least One Dose” and “Fully Vaccinated”.
So if we presume they were counted among the first shot group, we should subtract them from the second shot (Fully Vaccinated) total, when accounting for total shots administered.
56,089,614 (fully vaccinated) minus 3,429,880
(J&J), equals 52,659,734 (presumed second shots administered).
52,659,734 (second shots, excluding J&J), plus 99,565,311 (first shots, including J&J) equals 152,225,045.
That is about 1.4 million different (less) from the total reported administered (about 1%).
I really don’t know how to account for these variations. I chalk it up to reporting errors/update anomalies.
Even if people miss their second shot, studies out of Israel indicate that the first shot does the lion’s share of building immunity - up to 90 of the total effect.
“Who is getting the shots?”
Initially, Nursing Home Residents and medical personnel had priority. Nursing Home residents were largely fully vaccinated by the end of February.
Priority, and the lion’s share of of new first shots, shifted to those 75 or older, as the first group was mostly through the line for first shots.
As that group reached about 2/3rds, the proportion going to those 65-74 increased. As they reached around 2/3rds through with first shots, the proportion going to those 50-64 as increased. They are currently the biggest group getting first shots.
Second shots are pretty much on auto-pilot, trailing 3-4 weeks after the firsts.
Ah, you forgot the special people like AOC that jumped ahead of everyone.
