Getting the same in that exact day too. Working from home Monday so hopefully no time off is needed.Getting second dose of Pfizer on Easter Sunday. Taking the next day off to make sure I’m upgraded to 5G

Are there any legal ramifications for lying to get the vaccine? Just curious
Depends on what you sign to get it. NYS had people signing that they weren’t committing perjury in the comorbidity portion on the rollout.Are there any legal ramifications for lying to get the vaccine? Just curious
They don’t ask. But you sign something attesting to the fact that you’re not committing perjury.That’s probably a state to state issue and not federal. From everything I’ve heard in NY, they don’t even ask. But not like it matters anymore.
lol you got me with the link
So what causes a stronger immune response with the second dose?Identical for the 2 dose vaccines approved so far. The only one I know for sure is different is the Russian (Sputnik V) that uses 2 separate adenovirus vectors to deliver the vaccine to your cells. If they used the same vector, your immune system would likely recognize it from the first dose and destroy the vaccine before it has a chance to take effect. J&J uses similar technology and will likely have to do the same if they end up going with the 2 dose regimen.
There's definitely a correlation there. I wonder how long it will take to do an official study on how covid spreads in different climates
My understanding is that it’s similar to you seeing/hearing/reading something briefly once and then when you encounter it again it reinforces that knowledge. The second dose of mRNA vaccines initiate the strong T cell immunity from what I’ve read.So what causes a stronger immune response with the second dose?
Experts who I normally rely on have been reluctant to say that seasonality plays a role. I don't know why.There's definitely a correlation there. I wonder how long it will take to do an official study on how covid spreads in different climates
Admittedly, I look at those daily update charts that 160jordansdeep posts and have noted that NY seems to have leveled out hospitalization rates and the test positivity remains under 5%, but don't follow the daily cases too closely. New infections appear to have spiked over the past week, likely as a result of restrictions being lifted and people changing their behavior thinking the worst is over. I fear it will only get worse as spring breakers bring home unwelcome souvenirs. Even in CA it seems indoor dining is back with a vengeance and we all know what that is likely to cause. People can't wait to get back to normal but it still hasn't sunk in that the old normal is gone.
good thread about how somebody could get reinfected with covid. essentially it only happened here because the patient was heavily immunosuppressed. I was thinking of 05fordgt -- depending on what drugs you're taking, it's probably not even an issue, but it may be worth following up in a month or two to see if your body has developed antibodies against covid.f If it's available to you, I would also get tested frequently for covid (at least after times where you are at higher risk for being exposed) so that, if worst case you did get an infection, you could get an antibody cocktail right away. And/or you might benefit from a vaccine booster every 6 months or something.
Most likely, the vaccine is all you need, but if it's not enough, you still have good options to keep yourself safe. It's worth bringing up with your doctor, especially as we learn more about how immunocompromised patients react to the vaccine and virus.
Also has anybody seen or a read this online coming out of England
I can’t find an article about it and I looked on the BBC website that’s how I found this article on top
Anytime. Glad to hear you're on your way to full vaccination. And with the vaccine roll-out going well, everybody around you will be on their way as well and the risk will hopefully eventually drop to zero.Hey buddy, thank you very much for the tag about the article. Read it and the patient was a kidney transplant recipient. And he had the virus once a while before the reinfection. I wish they mentioned his drug cocktail (it really is as at the beginning I was on like 18 pills a day. I'm down to about 10 or so), unless, he had it recently and is one who received the organ AND bone marrow. By doing that, the body doesn't need to have anti rejection drugs, as the marrow does the job of telling the body the organ is part of the marrow (since both are used in some cases). I'm still careful and have about 23 more day or so until my 2nd dose of Pfizer. I'll be relieved once I get the 2nd one. Thanks again for looking out for me. Your a good guy!
is this it? if so, that's a bit of a misleading headline:
"
Public health officials found two residents with "very mild illness" plus a "number" of asymptomatic people.
"
Covid: West Lindsey spike due to care home outbreak
The outbreak is at a West Lindsey care home where residents had been vaccinated, health bosses say.www.bbc.com
I haven't seen anything convincing to indicate that Pfizer or Moderna is better. They're such similar technologies that I would get what you can.thanks for finding the article
“After one Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine, it is estimated a person will have up to 89% protection, with about 91% after their second dose.
This is pretty interesting Does anyone know how much of the vaccine you would have in your body from the first shot by taking the Moderna Vaccine ?
When I do take the shot I would like to take the Pfizer but most places in nyc are offering the Moderna shot
I was told and I think I read it somewhere that private hospitals are doing the Pfizer and other non private hospitals in nyc are using the Moderna
Does anybody in nyc know about this
Am I wrong or right ?
Hopefully this means that there will also be more availability/doses. It wouldn't make any sense to open it up like that while the supply is still limited.So 8 am tomorrow people in NYS over 30 years old can try to get appointments. Wonder how much of a pain it'll be to try and get one.
