it becomes available at my doctors office. I'll not be chasing it around the state. To all you that do....kudos.

I'm 67 and my survival rate is above 99%. I've a better chance of falling off a ladder and becoming a vegetable. So I'll stay off of ladders, wear a mask where required, wash my hands frequently, use sanitizer(75% alcohol), avoid crowds out of doors, sneeze and cough into my arm and use ridiculously common sense to be safe.

Best of luck to all.

Better be careful around ladders and do you prefer broccoli or spinach if you fall?

Are you thinking healthcare staff are worried, as opposed to a regular person staying in their house for 11 months.

HUH? Please translate. I tried Google translate and it didn't help. I have absolutely no idea what your point is/was assuming you were actually responding to my questionable "vegetable ?humor?" in the 2nd post.

Well, whatever. I guess it something everyone needed to know. I’m 67 also and decided to get the shot to up my odds of not getting the virus.

To each their own....

Definitely is easier that way. I just had my 2nd shot today set up at my hospital through my doctor. Very easy and organized.

I just got a call from Synexus, I pre-qualify for a Covid vaccine study. Next week we'll have a phone appointment to find out if I qualify for the next step. This is pretty interesting news, since I'm not eligible for a normal appointment - I'm under 65, and not at risk, and no longer an essential worker (I retired in December). So I might end up being a (paid? not paid? No idea yet) guinea pig for a new covid vaccine!

CONGRATS on your retirement, OOB. Good for you!

Did you sign up with Synexus? Actually, I haven't heard of them. Keep us posted.

You are 1100 times more likely to die from it than a group of people who are between 5 and 17 according to this graph from the CDC. My age group is worse than that. I do not care what you decide but I am sure there are several people who wish you would increase your odds simply because they love you.

I would imagine anybody that smoked, drinks, and on drugs legal or none legal odds go up especially if they have congestion problems in lungs? If and when I am able to get the shot I hope If I get COVID it at least reduced the symptoms, at 70 and smoker until early 20s I feel my lungs are compromised.

Good luck

I'm glad you are willing to take the chance. What about other folks that you might infect and kill?
