I just got my shingles shot. I think I have every vaccination now - except chicken pox, I guess - I already had the chicken pox long before the vaccine came out - hence the shingles vaccination. Measles, mumps, rubella, meningitis, many flu shots, covid, shingles, tetanus, small pox, HPV. Am I missing any? Pneumonia.

It looks like the Pfizer shot will be available to 12-15 year olds soon. The school just sent out a survey asking if I would gets my kids vaccinated at a school clinic. Abso-freakin-lutely. I’m not giving them a choice. Yes, they announced on Monday that it would be soon. I was hoping for today so the providers could plan over the weekend and then we can just take the kids early next week. Hasn't happened yet. So, maybe Monday or Tuesday. They are messing with my carefully planned arrangements, grr

My niece got her 16 year old son in for a vaccine the first day he was eligible. That was when it was still difficult to find vaccine appointments. I know she will do the same with her 13 year old. She is a nurse after all and saw more than she cared to and heard more than she cared to during the worse of Covid.
Not to mention that her husband and son got it because hubby's mother is a fool. She got covid and needed her son to do something at her house. He went to do it and on the way out she gave him a kiss and said she had covid and he should probably get tested.
He also lost an aunt (mom's sister) to covid.

Measles, mumps, rubella, meningitis, many flu shots, covid, shingles, tetanus, small pox, HPV. Am I missing any? I just had my physical this week and Dr said I was overdue for Tdap. Pretty sure I last had one when pregnant with DD12. "Tdap vaccine can prevent tetanus, diphtheria, and pertussis. Studies estimate that diphtheria toxoid-containing vaccines protect nearly all people (95 in 100) for approximately 10 years. Protection decreases over time, so adults need to get a Td or Tdap booster shot every 10 years to stay protected."

Not enough to make a difference. I talk about this vaccine every day with patients. The ones who have yet to be vaccinated have no good answer for why not. It is all I am not comfortable, its been rushed, conspiracy theories, or my particular favorite, "I don't put foreign stuff in my body." especially funny when they smoke or have a bag of food from a fast food restaurant. Over 100 million people have been vaccinated to date. We know the short term side effects. We know the risk of the infection. People who are not vaccinated are not willing to listen to reason My favorite are the "all you need to do is eat right and exercise" I read that one as well but my favorite is the Vaccine will (the greatest of all horrors) turn you into a Democrat

DH and I probably both need TDaP, and it was on our radar before becoming eligible for covid. Getting vaccinated for covid trumped that, so still need to get a booster. I also need to go on the hunt for yellow fever for a trip we have planned in Nov.

My sister told me my beautician believes that. I asked why it mattered to her. She is in her 60's. Apparently it will affect her daughters and their ability to give her grandchildren.
I am reconsidering hairdressers but I don't know where to go.

My mom heard that if I am not vaccinated and she is then it could stop MY periods if I am around here. Both of us were trying to figure out why that would be a bad thing. If it was that easy to stop my period I'd be rubbing myself all over vaccinated ladies.

Measles, mumps, rubella, meningitis, many flu shots, covid, shingles, tetanus, small pox, HPV. Am I missing any? I've had measles, mumps, rubella, and chicken pox - the actual illnesses, not vaccines. I got the small pox vaccine as a kid and I'm current on tetanus. I got the pneumonia shot a couple of years ago, and get the seasonal flu vaccine every year. I had some sort of hepatitis vaccine when we were supposed to go to Russia and a couple of years back the doc insisted on the polio vaccine. I've elected not to have the shingles vaccine.

I still plan to wear a mask for the rest of my life, and gloves in some situations like Asian groceries where it's expected. If folks don't like that, they can look or go elsewhere. My state is poised to adopt constitutional carry which will allow anyone to carry a weapon anywhere. If I have to look at someone's weapon, they can damned well look at my mask. Why would anyone get mad at your for wearing a mask? Even the mask holes that we see caught in video were angry because they were forced to wear a mask. I’m not saying some idiot won’t be an ass, but I would think that would be rareI’m not sure what I will do. I’m still petrified of Covid and I don’t see that changing anytime soon. It is rare but very uncomfortable. I have had unmasked individuals point at me, go "baaaah" (you know, I'm a sheep mindlessly following lies, etc.), and on one occasion, try to explain to me why I should go unmasked. And I think Tucker Carlson's statement that seeing a masked person is like seeing a man exposing himself will make it worse in a state where God and Fox both have 3 letters and are equally worshipped.

I have heard some researchers are starting to look into reported cycle changes. Mine was different after the first shot. Could have also been caused by other things. Who knows.

It's terrible but part of me keeps thinking maybe we can strengthen the future gene pool if covid wipes out some of the stupid people.

I wish they would start posting statistics of those that are vaccinated when they report on the cases/deaths, because I'm hearing of way to many getting covid after being fully vaccinated. I get that it's only 97 or 98% effective or whatever, but it sure seems like quite a few.

I get that it's only 97 or 98% effective or whatever, but it sure seems like quite a few. Like this? 89 cases in 800,000 fully vaccinated and 1.4 with partial vaccination. That is roughly 99.99% effective. www.webmd.com/vaccines/covid-19-vaccine/news/20210325/minnesota-finds-89-covid-cases-in-vaccinated-people

One of the things we must avoid
is vaccinated people (tourists) ........ going to areas with high infection.
The only virus they'll be able to pick up.......and bring home .... will be vaccine resistant
and thats really bad news.

But that can't be catching them all though because I know 2 already personally and they tested on their own at the saliva clinic and it doesn't ask if you're vaccinated.

For me, I'm mainly interested in how severe of a case a vaccinated person gets. If they are getting nothing more than a cold then I don't find it alarming.

Just because you carry the microbe, it doesn’t mean that you can transmit it, or have covid. Remember, metric for efficacy of the vaccine is whether or not it prevents severe disease, hospitalization or death. If someone encounters a covid positive patient and their vaccine protects them and kills the virus, then their body will shed the dead virus. None of the tests will tell you if the virus is dead or alive.
