Thanks for the recommendation!

Got our 1st shots at Groveland this morning (2/10) with an appointment for our 2nd shots on 3/3.
We left our home in The Villages at 7:30am and arrived home at 10:30am.

This afternoon I will be very pleased to delete all the websites I’ve been spending frustrating hours on in failed attempts to get shot appointments.

The original place behind Fresh Market seems to have reopened for business.
My wife got a call from the registration that I set up for her. They asked if she would like an appointment date and time for her shot. She told them that she had already gotten hers at the Publix in Deltona and they said thank you and that they would give her spot to the next in line on the list.
Folks just have to be patient, because they really are distributing the vaccinations. Over a 130,000 already given in the Tri-county area.
I received a call from the Villages VA clinic asking me if I wanted my first shot.
We registered in several places, so that just means that someone else will move up on the list.

Why are so many asking what kind of vaccine?

Has one been shown to be better?

Yes, one of them causes hair to grow in your ears and feet, tiny horns at your hairline above your forehead and long nails.................

I think that some of the vaccines may have a reputation for causing harsher side effects than the other. Even though, at one time the CDC was saying you could get your second shot from a different kind of vaccine, "experts" are now saying that you should stick with the same original serum you started with on the first shot. They are admitting that they have not done any studies regarding mixing the two.

Not to change the subject but, I read about an Israeli study on vaccines that came to a hesitate conclusion or hypothesis that after about 26 days of the shot, the vaccinated should not be able to pass on the contagion. They are saying that the vaccinated should not be able to carry and transmit the disease because once the virus enters the vaccinated person, it would be eradicated. Of course, I am paraphrasing the long study and I am NOT an expert at interpreting medical studies. This is just my take on it, and being as it is a positive possibility, I'll accept it until proven otherwise. Of course, the study also stipulated that there needs to be much more time put into tests regarding this issue. Their point was an educated guess, based on the evidence so far.
AND the way the current infection rate has dropped, I am attributing this stat as correlating with the influx of mass inoculations going on at this time. There has been over 130,000 vaccinations given in the Tri-county area already. It won't be long now, that we will be able to shed the masks and get back to a semblance of normalcy.

The Israeli data is very promising. Another theory was if becoming infected after receiving the vaccine, the viral load is greatly reduced minimizing the risk of transmitting the infection. Time will tell.

After talking to police, not necessary to go early, they never run out of vaccine, traffic lightens up after 11am. Must be 65, no appointments.

After reaching Amazon, traffic splits into 5 lanes, than 4 lanes, park, receive vaccine, wait 15 minutes, head for home.

AH.....not so. Went today and they ran out
