What ever happened to women and children first?

The vaccines do not necessarily stop you transmitting the virus, hence protecting those most at risk first.

They say by fall everyone should have the op to get the shot but wont a new strain be out by then? England, and I think Denmark have new strains now.

Hoping for your speedy recovery, Roger!

Panel: People over 75, essential workers next for vaccines

NEW YORK (AP) — A federal advisory panel recommended Sunday that people 75 and older and essential workers like firefighters, teachers and grocery store workers should be next in line for COVID-19 shots, while a second vaccine began rolling out to hospitals as the nation works to get the coronavirus

Thank you. The real goal is to get enough people inoculated so that the virus's chances of finding a new vulnerable host are drastically reduced.

The now famous "herd immunity"...

They're having some odd quirks with the distribution of the vaccine in California w.r.t. the medical community. Apparently, Stanford's staff is all up in arms about the prioritization. Anyway, I hope everyone gets it soon!

Now we should all know that some will butt in line, it's what we do. Some will get caught, some will not, never the less, nothing will happen to the ones that get caught, it's what we don't do, anymore.

I have no idea when I'll be eligible for the vaccine, but whenever that is it can't come soon enough. It killed my brother. I found him dead. It's been two months of hell since.

So sorry for your loss Q. I hope you can get the vaccine soon!

I recently lost my sister-in-law and several friends to this awful disease.

Damn dude. I'm sorry to hear that.

This is a multi-generational disaster in the making. I fear too many Americans have become desensitized watching the numbers creep up everyday on the news and won't actually take it seriously until it hits close to home - or IN their home, as it did mine.

I'm so sorry to hear about the losses in your family. We're dealing with one and it's absolutely surreal. I can't imagine losing multiple family members/friends. I don't know how else to it describe to people who haven't experienced it. It's just surreal. He had a fever on 10/24 and he was dead on 10/31. That's what happens. That's how fast it is. There is no time to prepare and no time to come to grips with your new reality.

 

[Qvart]

BTW - he was 49.

FORTY-NINE.

So when I hear about the staggered vaccine rollout regime.......

It just needs to go out to everyone. NOW.

Very sorry for your loss. Sending positive energy your way.

Damn. I hope you continue to improve. A friend of mine in California has been battling it since March. Him and his wife improve then it comes back and smacks them down again. And there are so many long term effects that we're only beginning to understand, because it's not just a respiratory illness, it's a vascular illness too. Ugh. Take care, brother

From what I've read the current vaccines are at least partially effective against known new COVID variants. The virus will keep mutating, though, so we're gonna have to keep on top of it with periodically tweaked vaccines or even new ones.
