Just scheduled my first dose for the vaccine in NyC! I have a moderate conorbidity (asthma) so this is big!
They have a vaccine site about 15 minutes down the road. They're inoculating in three stages, based on health priority. As of right now, they are still in stage one. Due to my MS and bone marrow stem cell transplant, I should fall into Stage two, but that has yet to be confirmed.Just scheduled my first dose for the vaccine in NyC!

Hopefully soon then! I’m sorry how slow it’s going in Canada (oh Canada @TheImpatientPanther ?)They have a vaccine site about 15 minutes down the road.

Do you know whether it will be the Pfizer or moderna vaccine?Just scheduled my first dose for the vaccine in NyC! I have a moderate conorbidity (asthma) so this is big!
Moderna! Not a big difference between the two; I bought stock in both to celebrateDo you know whether it will be the Pfizer or moderna vaccine?
The Finns have one huge advantage: social distancing is basically part of the culture. I remember seeing jokes about keeping a minimum of 2 meters distance where the Finn says "Why would anybody want to be this close to somebody else?" So no vaccination needed...I got couple conditions why I should get it ASAP. Expect to get it by 2022 with the speed Finland is handling this
Do they have supply or is it some weird requirement on who gets it?And here I thought Canada was in shit-shape. I hope every one in Europe stays safe!
I was going to vent how they started the clinic up in the neighbouring town on Monday. On the news they said they can inoculate up to 400 people a day, but on Monday they only had 34 people. And I'm here sitting in my house, not working, just waiting to be vaccinated. Makes no sense!
I’m sorry: it’s not right.I got couple conditions why I should get it ASAP. Expect to get it by 2022 with the speed Finland is handling this
Not to go too close but it’s fascinating how the EU bungled this. There was a neat wsj article from a few weeks ago onnitThe Finns have one huge advantage: social distancing is basically part of the culture. I remember seeing jokes about keeping a minimum of 2 meters distance where the Finn says "Why would anybody want to be this close to somebody else?" So no vaccination needed...
All joking aside, hope you'll get it quickly. In Austria, the people with health conditions are supposed to get it in summer. For the others, end of 2021 or beginning of 2022 is the aim. I'd be surprised if you guys would not be able to do it at least in the same time frame.
Would be practical to live in Israel right now...
It's a requirement of who gets it. I mentioned before, they have a three-stage program on who gets it depending on needs. They are currently in stage 1. Hopefully I'm in stage 2. Cannot confirm that yet.Do they have supply or is it some weird requirement on who gets it?
Last month we were tossing vaccines out in NYC due to strict limits on who got it; they seemed to have relaxed that!
I’m sorry my friend: you will be in my thoughts and prayers. If it’s any consolation two colleagues of mine had it in Mexicon and Italy and it wasn’t terrible...and I'm positive. YAY!
On the bright side, I'm feeling much better today than two days ago? So that's something...
Ugh: it’s the underlying problem with distribution. They care more about line jumpers than vaccinatingIt's a requirement of who gets it.

There’s global travel though: I have friends that have flown back from France, Russia and Uk back as students to NYC. States can’t stop dual citizens orHere in Greece its a joke. We have a lockdown, but its from 6pm to 7am the following day. You can go out between those times, but you have to send a message, and receive an automated response. You are allowed to go to hospitals, pharmacies, supermarkets, the post office, doctors, or for exercise (walking or running, no gyms). You are suppose to keep your distance, and wear a mask, and can only be out for 2 hours. Some people dont wear masks, others are out for hours at a time, social distance is not existent. The numbers arent bad, and are actually going down, but do we really know if the numbers that are being reported, are accurate? I live in a city of 30,000 people, and I have not seen the rules enforced that much. They hit some places with fines, but I have yet to be stopped and asked for my message and ID card.
And honestly, what the hell is going on with this virus? With lockdowns occurring worldwide, how does a new UK strand reach certain states in the US so quickly, or one from Africa, or or or. There has to be more to this than what they are reporting. It just seems too fishy to me, and Im not really one for conspiracy theories.
Get well soon. I saw on the news the other day that Czechia was doing the worst (not sure if it was in Europe, or the world), so at least you can have the satisfaction of having been right in your concerns all along. Possibly not the most comforting consolation....and I'm positive. YAY!

I mean it really varies: my sister-in-law is 23 and spent nearly two weeks with severe fever, severe cough and difficulty breathing (though not bad enough to get hospitalized). Babybro (6) is asymptomatic, my uncle (50ish) and aunt were only very mildly sick, my brother-in-law-once-removed (LOL) was sick for about a week but then recovered... My friend (27ish) was sick for nearly a month.I’m sorry my friend: you will be in my thoughts and prayers. If it’s any consolation two colleagues of mine had it in Mexicon and Italy and it wasn’t terrible
I mean that's as crappy silver lining as it gets:Get well soon.

Possibly not the most comforting consolation.
I had it back in October. One good thing that may have helped me not to lose my sense of smell and taste was a steroid prescription I got (oral, once a day, 4 or 5 days) (my drug was dexamethasone). I took it on about day 3 or 4 after I got symptoms (day 2 after being diagnosed positive). Good luck!...and I'm positive. YAY!

News update - apparently France is willing to give us 100,000 of their vaccine doses, the exact negotiations still ongoing. That's about 1/6th of the amount we got since the whole thing started so potentially a huge difference at this stage.
Legit tears in my eyes here. Please let this be real.
Still no update there, as far as I know.Any update of the EU is going to approve J&J? My guess is that the US will be giving those doses away!
