I've had the anthrax series, it was worse than the COVID vaccine. I got my first shot yesterday (Moderna), and right now, the spot where the shot was feels like a got shot by a paintball at close range about an hour ago. Woke up this morning a little tired, but otherwise, it's no big deal.

Thanks for the info. I've also had the Anthrax series and numerous yearly boosters. So not as bad as Anthrax, cool.
 
Just a random thought here...considering the temperatures these have to be kept at, is the injection cold?
 
One of the major health care system providers in Louisiana recently started using some of their "unwanted" Pfizer vaccine, that had been set aside for Healthcare Workers on members of the general public who are over 70 years old. This is great news. If the healthcare workers don't want the shots, they should go to the next people on the list.

I have been saying for a while, the point where we run out of "very" willing arms will happen sooner than most people think. People who REALLY want the vaccine in Louisiana and who are in the next group up, can get it if they really try. I have three relatives in that above 70 age group, that group was just opened up for vaccination last week, they all got their first shots over the last three days. (One Moderna and two Pfizer.) I have another relative who was too cheap to drive more than 15 miles.....

there appears to be a very strong correlation between education level and willingness to get vaccinated thus far (at least among healthcare workers)

My one relative who did not take the possible opportunity to get vaccinated is very intelligent, just too cheap to drive 30+ miles. I would take an International Flight to get vaccinated. I would also walk across broken glass on my hands and knees to get vaccinated, I wonder what that says?

All of my fellow scientists in my department have gotten their first dose. I don't think anyone (that I know of) has turned it down.
 
Can someone explain to me how Tulane gets 5,000 doses considering the current eligibility?
Based on the distribution issues all around the country, my guess would be convenience.

Feds are punting to the states.
States are punting to the cities.
Tulane is the largest employer in the city, is run competently, and has a hospital system. If you want to just get vaccines in arms, that's probably the fastest way to do it with the least amount of effort from the government.

And current LA eligibility includes staff of health education institutions which includes Tulane. But whatever it takes to get shots into the population.

I am sure the "Tulane" allocation is to their hospital system and they will be vaccinating people who are healthcare workers who have not been vaccinated yet, other people in the first two groups, including people who work in the Tulane teaching part of their medical center, others who have not been vaccinated yet in those groups and people over 70 years old. If you have any relatives who are patients of Tulane Doctors and they want the vaccine, they should ask about it.

I know I’m down the line, but I’m checking that page daily
