SaysWho? Posted March 1, 2021 Share Posted March 1, 2021 Just because this is really great news, I wanted to make this into its own thread. Because a year ago all the news sucked. Quote The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said 75,236,003 doses of COVID-19 vaccines had been administered in the country as of Sunday morning and it had distributed 96,402,490 doses. The tally is for both the Moderna and Pfizer/BioNTech, vaccines as of 6 a.m. ET Sunday, the agency said. Both the Pfizer and Moderna vaccines involve two doses. The CDC on Saturday had reported a tally of 72,806,180 vaccines doses administered and 96,402,290 doses distributed. The agency said that as of Sunday, 49,772,180 people had received at least one vaccine dose while 24,779,920 had received the two doses. Seems like we're easily going to blow past the 100 million in 100 days goal. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marioandsonic Posted March 1, 2021 Share Posted March 1, 2021 It's very encouraging news. These rates should continue as distribution increases, along with the J&J vaccine joining the party. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CayceG Posted March 1, 2021 Share Posted March 1, 2021 Is that people, or doses (meaning half that number is the people vaccinated). If it's people, that's 1/4 of the country. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CitizenVectron Posted March 1, 2021 Share Posted March 1, 2021 Unfortunately Canada has only administered 1.8 million doses, which is the equivalent of 20 million in the US. Fortunately daily vaccinations have ramped up to where they should have been prior to the interruption. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Though we're still in Phase I, they are apparently calling people 70+ now for general appointments. I would expect we move into Phase II proper (age-based) in the next few weeks. However, they are still insisting it will be determined by age only...so anyone in their 30s will likely be waiting until June/July-ish, at the earliest. Government has also said they will be stopping the calls (right now they are calling people to make appointments) since they've figured out there are huge holes in the Sask Health records, and will be setting up an online booking system instead. I don't have confidence it will be online for at least a month. If it's just an online booking system then that's easy...but tying it into the ancient Sask Health systems? Might be years, lol. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TwinIon Posted March 1, 2021 Share Posted March 1, 2021 Last week in my tier got effectively removed. I'm not sure if San Diego entirely follows state guidelines or what, but currently the county has phase 1A-1, 1A-2, 1A-3, 1B, 1C, and 2, where 2 is everyone over 16. (They're currently up to 1B) A week ago 1C included a broad swath of "essential workers" as defined by the state that I would have been eligible for. As of last Friday 1C is now only for people with underlying health conditions and there is no priority for the broader essential worker category. I won't argue the change is bad health policy, but it is a bummer that now I have to wait for essentially complete general availability before trying to get an appointment. I was really hoping that being part of the last phase before that would make it easier to get. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Logically I could justify it given I smoke weed (and smokers are in the current phase), but I don’t know, I’d just feel to awful given how hard it has been for so many people to get an appointment. Besides, I can just stay inside and keep getting stoned, I’m well positioned to wait awhile longer. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I smoke weed too and tried getting the vaccination anyway, saying I was a smoker (though I understand your reservations) but I had to give my birthdate as well and at least according to Rite-Aid's website my wife and I don't pre-qualify yet for one. I even said I was an essential worker and still nothing, which makes me think it was my birthdate preventing me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaladinSolo Posted March 1, 2021 Share Posted March 1, 2021 The only sites with appointments in NY are the FEMA sites they recently set up, the state run sites are always full, other than that its hit or miss with county appointments, if you're 65 and older pharmacies started taking appointments. So even though i've been able to get one for over a month, i haven't been able to get an appointment as i can't just sit at a computer all day looking and calling.

CitizenVectron Posted March 2, 2021 Share Posted March 2, 2021 This is great news for Canada, too, since we will likely strike a deal to get the excess production across the border when the US finishes (or even starts dropping in demand).
