Health Editor’s Note: For those of you who have not been contacted for an appointment to receive your COVID-19 vaccine, as of next week (Feb. 11) there will be one million vaccine doses sent to thousands of pharmacies in an attempt to ramp up inoculations. These vaccines will be in addition to the shipments already coming to states. The number of pharmacies receiving and giving the vaccine will move from the initial 6,500 stores to 40,000 retail pharmacies including Rite Aid, Walgreens, and CVS. These vaccine doses will come directly from the federal government.
Continue to practice safety measures, masks worn properly (I now wear two masks), physically distance, wash hands all the time and never touch your face, eyes, nose, or mouth without first washing your hands, stay home if you are sick, stay away from groups of any size, and stay away from anyone who is ill. I see no reason to jettison these safety measures even after you have reached the 2 to 3 week mark after your second vaccination. These safety measures will help you to avoid flu and regular colds. Also, unless you are wearing your vaccine card on a string around your neck, like a identity badge, how will others know you are not a potential COVID-19 spreader?……Carol

I get mine tomorrow.
I carry 70% isopropyl spray in my watch pocket, and wear a bandana.
I got lazy spraying after every purchase last week and picked up a head cold.
Covid tested negative with the fast test.
Signed up for the jab….
Jim, Congratulations on getting your vaccine. Everything I read says you should not expect full immunity until like three weeks after the second vaccination. Moderna, you receive your second dose in four weeks, Pfizer, 3 weeks. Also, second dose may bring more side effects but that is because your body recognizes that you have already been sensitized and will be prepared to fight the virus when it sees it again. Safety measures will still be more than appropriate, but you will have the satisfaction of knowing you will not contract COVID-19, nor will you be able to spread it. You will no longer be a potential host for the replication of this evil virus.
Heard that Jiffy Lube is now going to administer the vaccine. Can’t wait. I wear 3 masks.
