  • I thought it might be helpful to have a separate topic related to the vaccine.  If this is too much duplication, mods please delete this thread.  I thought it would be good to talk about who can get the vaccine, where they can get it, what side effects people are seeing, and in general what is going on with distribution.

    The CDC has published vaccine distribution guidelines, and if you care, they are worth reading.  They are dividing the timeline into:

    • Phase 1 - Potentially limited supply of COVID-19 vaccine doses available
    • Phase 2 - Large number of vaccine doses available
    • Phase 3 - Sufficient supply of vaccine doses for entire population

    Who you are will determine if you are eligible for a vaccine in the various phases.

    Phase 1 is divided into a Phase 1a and a Phase 1b:

    • Phase 1a - Mostly healthcare workers
    • Phase 1b - Other essential workers, people with higher risks, people over 65

    If you are eligible to get the vaccine and they have in in stock and you want to get it, it is important to go get it.  Both of the first two vaccines can spoil, so if a dose is sitting there and you aren't there to get it, they might have to throw it away.

    Both vaccines require two shots.  It is important to go get that second shot.

    Who fits in phase 1b and who has to wait until phase 2 might be a sticking point.  The "people in higher risks" category includes a lot of folks, maybe more than you would think might be in that category.  Hopefully we can quickly get to phase 2 so that we don't spend too long arguing about who is or is not in Phase 1b.

    Anyway, I'm interested in everyone's experience with the vaccine and especially getting the word out for those that can go get it, so that every dose ends up in an arm rather than in the trash.

    The problem with the database is primarily it cannot fractionate out which vaccine causes which side effects. There are tons of vaccines that did not make it past Phase I, II, etc. As well, reading through the disclaimers you must agree to before even searching suggest this data dump in not verified and likely is coming directly from patients. Past that the vast majority of the reported side effects are benign. Cough, Nausea, Vertigo, etc.

    I've been a part of a massive role out of both Moderna and Pfizer. The vast majority of patient's deal with some arm pain and maybe 24-48 hours of fever/malaise. Past that we haven't needed to use Benadryl once for any concerns of an allergic reaction.

    Anyone at this point suggesting the mRNA vaccines are either ineffective or has unknown side effects is trying to find an excuse to hold onto to not get them. I wish the vast majority of those looking for other avenues (Hydroxychloroquine, Ivermectin, Beet Powder, etc) would simply just say they don't wish to be vaccinated for whatever reason and stop trying to explain their reasoning.

    I'm tired of people coming to me after all of my training and experience and letting me know how they are more informed and better educated on how to approach the Pandemic. You are not and you are simply not willing to be vaccinated. I hope it doesn't cost you your health/life.

    I requested the moderna booster (full strength, not the pussy ass half strength shit they are about to roll out) in my right gluteus but couldn't get any takers. So I just stuck my arm out the window.  

    Does the pussy ass half strength shit limit side-effects? I am planning a trip in December and will probably get the booster in late Nov. The second dose kicked my ass. I worked and it was a pretty sucky day.

    We see you, Tonto.  You’re willfully spreading misinformation disguised as “collecting data points to add to the discussion”, but all of your “data” is from other misinformation sources.

    As far as the WHO data and Ireland shit, you are spreading misuse of information or flat out ignoring the most key information.  Willfully.

    Summary
    No new safety signals emerged upon administration of the booster dose in
    Study P201 Part B, and the safety profile of mRNA-1273 booster was similar to
    that observed following the second dose of the primary series (in Study P301
    Part A).

    Most solicited local ARs were grade 1 to grade 2 in severity; no grade 4
    solicited local or systemic ARs were reported in either prime series group.

    Unsolicited TEAEs were infrequent and mild to moderate in severity, and no
    SAEs or AEs lead to study discontinuation up to Day 29 in P201 Part B.

    No cases of myocarditis, pericarditis, or relevant AEs suggestive of any of
    these conditions were observed up to Day 29 in P201 Part B.

    In the post-authorization period, a total of 301,035,380 doses have been
    distributed worldwide, and the data show that mRNA-1273 has an acceptable
    safety profile.

     

    The frequency of systemic ARs in Study P201 Part B following the 50 μg booster dose
    was numerically similar to that observed following the second injection of the primary
    series in Study P201 Part A and in P301 (
    Table 22; Table 23). The most common
    systemic ARs after the 50 μg booster dose in P201 Part B were fatigue, headache,
    arthralgia, and myalgia, which occurred at a similar rate between the P201 Part B 50
    and 100 μg prime series groups. Because these 2 groups were comparable, the
    combined safety data are presented below (
    Table 23). No difference in incidence of the
    solicited AR of rash (3.7% in the 50 μg vs 1.8% in the 100 μg groups) was observed
    after the booster dose between the 50 μg and 100 μg prime series. Most solicited
    systemic AR in P201 Part B were grade 1 to grade 2 in severity. Systemic ARs were
    transient, and most resolved by Day 4. The frequency and severity of solicited systemic
    ARs was numerically comparable between age cohorts (18 to < 55; ≥ 55 years of age).

    Fatigue, myalgia, headache, and arthralgia were the most commonly reported grade 3
    systemic ARs (
    Table 23). No grade 4 solicited systemic ARs were reported in P201.

    We showed up to my 10 year olds well check last year and they said he needed to get his second MMR vaccine again.  Our kids get a flu shot or flu mist every year and apparently when he got his second MMR shot at age 4-ish, the flu mist he got a few weeks prior had "invalidated" the second MMR shot.

    They only recently caught it because they had changed over to online medical records and it got flagged in the system

    Your MIL's cardiologist might be wrong, but I had a somewhat similar situation that I also thought was stupid at the time, but there might be some validity to it.

    Yeah you would have to pretend it was your first or your second. I have no idea how they would make it mandatory for you to get another one. 

    Technically, when people are posting that they got their moderna "booster", they didn't. The moderna booster will be a different shot with half the dosage, as some have mentioned above. There are no boosters available yet for Moderna. 

    PS I will be curious what they tell us in the trial about the booster now that the FDA is saying not needed. They've been telling us it was coming "soon".

    Ana posted the FDA application. The data looks very good. It works and the side effects appear minimal. There is a paper cited in the application (I think Gilbert et al) which might give insight into the relationship between antibody levels and immune response. I haven't searched for the paper, yet. I've been too busy with real work.

    He didn't say that they have no side effects. He said they don't have UNKNOWN side effects.  Literally every substance known to man has side effects.  The most benign drugs/treatments that you can imagine have side effects, some of them fatal.  There is NO SUCH THING as a drug that has zero occurrences of dangerous side effects.

    Hemorrhagic stroke -- a potentially fatal condition -- is a known side effect of.....aspirin.  As just one of literally hundreds of thousands of examples.

    Being that we have literally HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS of doses administered, it is clear that 1) we know functionally all of the near-term potential side effects of the vaccines, and 2) the frequency of dangerous side effects is well below the frequency of dangerous side effects of hundreds of other drugs/treatments that people regularly take without even a second thought.

    Am gonna wait until I get my results from the second antibodies results from the UT health study before getting the third moderna shot. The second moderna shot totally kicked my ass the next morning with a 103 degree fever which strangely didn’t feel like one as I was able to go to the HEB no problem and then went away two hours later after some Advil. An expert witness doc I know said that probably meant I was super immune now for Covid. So i got that going for me, which is nice.
     

    The first antibody results from the UT study put me at like 1170 whatever that means without ever having Covid. If the second antibody results are similar or slightly lower,  I’ll hold off on a third shot for now.

    TLDR, team moderna FTW.

    I got a third Moderna shot aka booster at Walgreens on Monday. It exists. They don’t call it a booster because it’s not “approved” for a booster. They call it a third shot. Just fill out whatever forms online and check yes to eligibility questions and then selected Moderna

    I am Pfizer.  I got my last shot on May 22.  I am most likely getting a booster end of October/early November.  I am getting my flu shot tomorrow AM, so most likely, will go for the COVID booster in Mid-November.  That will be right about 6 months for me.

    Not really “mandatory” literally but I could see a business like an airline, for example, requiring a vaccination within x months at some point.  So the off-the-books Moderna shot could require me to get a possibly unnecessary Pfizer booster purely for things like that.
