Roger is 78 years old, so I'm assuming he'll be near the top of the list in our small town. He's going to get it as soon as it's ready. I'll have to wait a bit longer, being a young 68 year old with no pre-existing conditions. I'm not a big fan of vaccines or shots, but I'll take that over the virus.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-447321916012029979.post-31537099760124301652020-12-29T08:43:31.111-06:002020-12-29T08:43:31.111-06:00I almost had a chance to get the vaccine but the p...I almost had a chance to get the vaccine but the pharmacy had made an error and said they were not supposed to offer for over 65s yet just medical and essential people so my appointment was cancelled after all.

Don't forget the second dose!<br /><br />For me the absolute worst news on the virus is this study on small infants, which found that even in kids who had the virus without symptoms or a very mild course of disease, biomarkers were detected in their blood (after recovery) that indicate a possible high risk of organ failure, esp. kidney, in later life.<br />https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2020/12/201208121044.htm<br />OK, so it's hard to keep kids at home right now, but honestly.<br />Sabinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09015827501648296977noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-447321916012029979.post-20158705047774181742020-12-28T21:00:38.892-06:002020-12-28T21:00:38.892-06:00Get the vaccine nowGet the vaccine nowJohn Kurmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04607323621206823686noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-447321916012029979.post-43118357267508795492020-12-28T19:31:26.440-06:002020-12-28T19:31:26.440-06:00It is too difficult to assimilate all the data.

I am allergic to penicillin, anaphylactic shock. My dentist had me taking an antibiotic before any dental work, after the new hip. Three or four times on the way home I was curious about my hands getting numb, and then my lips. The last time it happened I made it back to work when the reason and the reaction hit me at the same time. I turned to the phone to call 911, but couldn't lift my arm. Fortunately one of the road guys came in and called 911.Now I have a new primary whose judgement I do not trust. I think I'll ask several doctors for an opinion.Joanne Noragonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16601010208310707750noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-447321916012029979.post-6426515114147881922020-12-28T19:16:57.099-06:002020-12-28T19:16:57.099-06:00I don't know if AZ will ever get vaccines.
