And some counties in Florida are experiencing 4+ hour waits for vaccinations.  Not exactly the gold standard in scheduling/administrating vaccinations

 

Pinellas County is still forming a plan and hasn't even started taking appointments yet.

I am another to admit I have not read every post... At this time, even if I was eligible to get it right now, I can't and won't...
I am allergic to a few things and there are so many unknowns still. 
When I had to have my spleen out I needed to get a few vaccines first. They made me schedule an appointment to have them done in the hospital "just in case". It wasn't fun then and those were vaccines that had been proven for years. 

I am thankful they have not mandated a vaccine yet in order to cruise.

Agree.  I’d extend that to some of the statements and sentiments I’ve seen recently respecting incarcerated persons.  Often, they have families, friends and others who would like to see them do their time in often over-crowded facilities without having to fear illness or worse because others feel they’re not worth protecting.

Don't do the crime, if you can't do the time.

ridiculous.  Why are the vaccine sites allowing this? I had to show my badge, ID and drivers license and they were actually holding my license up to the light (like it was a fake $20). 

At least with the 2 shot dose the vaccine can't be stolen by what criminal or gangs like your bloods or crips or MS13 and sold on the streets for what bucks a pop? As you need both doses on a timeframe there would be no point to buying a stolen shot. Theft might be a danger with the single shot johnson and johnson vaccine.

Yes, but so do the ones that could have gotten the vaccines that have been given to prisoners & illegals. They have families & friends too. Not saying they shouldn’t get it but let them wait.

Let's see. The term is "illegal". Why should someone get the shot ahead of a US citizen or someone who is here legally? If they don't like it they can go back where they came from. Just saying.

The facilities wouldn't be over crowded if they didn't commit a crime. Sure some are petty crimes, but what about murderers, etc? They shouldn't have done the crime if they don't like the conditions or sentence.

I think people are missing the point of how to control the pandemic. Everyone needs to be vaccinated and those in close quarters especially as it spreads so easily and will escape into the community easily. Other than a few who jump ahead you need to allow health personnel decide how best to proceed. I do agree we need a national strategy as state lines are a blur and we do not live in isolation. Kindness to our fellow man. Not one of us is perfect or never made a mistake. If so certainly go to the head of the line.

But can’t they wait until after the 65+ and first responders are vaccinated?  Why should they get priority over the general public?

Do you know if all in nursing homes/care facilities have been vaccinated? 

[A&L_Ont]

Have the individuals that reside in FL long term care had their vaccines yet?  
 

It seems as though they are having a hard time getting it to the general public from what I read here and in the press.  I am wondering if all front line staff at Hospitals, care centres, first responds etc have had their opportunity to be vaccinated on top of LTC residents. Seems like a cluster “f” to me.

I do not. The vaccine need to be stored at ultra cold temperatures. Not sure the are setup for the refrigeration units.

In our county they have vaccinated the front line workers and are doing the LTC residents.  That is why they don't have the reservation system for the 65+ set up yet.  When they first mentioned the vaccine I didn't expect to be vaccinated before April, now it looks like it will be sooner so I am happy.  I think part of the problem is that once it was announced people thought they would get appointments the first day.  It takes awhile since people have to be observed for 15-20 minutes after the shot and Florida has a lot of people over 65.  There are 30,000 just in our county.

Anyone who would buy "black market" vaccine is an idiot plain and simple. First off, no criminal is going to store it properly so it is most likely going to be worthless when you inject it into yourself. Secondly, why would criminals bother to obtain the stuff? They can just fill vials with saline and sell to the above referenced idiots.

Not sure. I think it has to do with the refrigeration required. 

[suzyluvs2cruise]

I was just reading in another FB cruising group that residents over 65 can get the Moderna vaccine. I've asked about those in LTC facilities. Interesting how distribution is being done.

That will only happen when politicians and lawyers turn medicine back over to doctors.

The Pfizer vaccine can be out of the deep freeze for 4 days prior to use and the Moderna vaccine I believe is good for 30 days after. Most standard freezers are perfectly fine for the Moderna vaccine.
