They really could do a better job of adjusting allocations based off of county-wide voting patterns and thus vaccine hesitancy rates...Was at the grocery store this afternoon. Pharmacy was broadcasting over the loud speaker trying to give away COVID shots.
My mRNA-hesitant, highly educated parents were being sticks in the mud. My sister and I had both laid down the law of no visiting us in Denver (we're both in the metro) until they are vaccinated, both to lower transmission and because my dad would be very high risk were he to contract COVID.
Tonight I found a nice website that listed out pharmacies in their small Oregon town, including which vaccines they offered at each site! So now my parents are signed up to get their shot of Johnson and Johnson adenovirus-vector vaccine a week from today. Intra-family warring can soon cease.
They drive almost exclusively, taking 2.5 days or so. They wore out their 2nd gen Prius making the drive over and over and now have a 4th gen one.Vaccine is probably safer than flying to Denver

You mean only if coming from the French region of Le Cobble?Only if it's authentic, of course.
Ironically, she just got one through her PCP/hospital.
Now it's just me that'll be unvaccinated.
Of course. Otherwise it's just a sparkling dessert casserole.You mean only if coming from the French region of Le Cobble?
Younger brother is in BC and I think it was Pfizer he got stabbed with last week (he got it because he's a fireman I think). Not sure when his second implant will be.BC started giving AstraZeneca to 55-65 year olds last week. My wife and I got our first doses on Wednesday. Second dose expected in August. We both had the chills Wednesday night and generally felt like shit yesterday but back to normal today.
Colorado in “fourth wave” of COVID-19, state officials say — but it’s expected to be less severe than deadly fall spike
Colorado is now experiencing a fourth wave of COVID-19 as infections and hospitalizations rise, but the increasing level of vaccination should make it less severe than the deadly spike late last fa…www.denverpost.com
and as of yesterday my parents decided to hold off for another 6 months on even the adenovirus J&J vaccine for reasons that I just can't fathom. My dad is way down the conspiracy theory rabbit hole, I am gathering. Gah.My mRNA-hesitant, highly educated parents were being sticks in the mud.

Yeah - the area my family lives in is currently a complete shitshow.Michigan says "hold my beer"
Does insanity run in your family?and as of yesterday my parents decided to hold off for another 6 months on even the adenovirus J&J vaccine for reasons that I just can't fathom. My dad is way down the conspiracy theory rabbit hole, I am gathering. Gah.
Dad came over for dinner last nightª and during the course of conversation we got talking about how difficult it still is to get an appointment for a vaccine, even in Colorado. He said he's kinda sorta looked at setting up an appointment lately, just to see what he'd have to do had I not set up appointments for him early on. He looked me dead in the eyes and thanked me for continuing to urge him to get an appointment, and eventually figuring out how and where to get him signed up. He said he'd likely still not have his first shot had I not done that. Happy kid moment for me, felt good to have helped him out. He'll be 77 this year, and he's still able to ride his motorcycle all over the damn country if he wants... hoping I helped him keep that ability to do that for a few more years.and as of yesterday my parents decided to hold off for another 6 months on even the adenovirus J&J vaccine for reasons that I just can't fathom.
