That's sad. I do have a question about it though. If the residents at the LTC get it, they will be protected, correct? (Up to 95%, or whatever the efficacy is). And if they do come in contact with an infected worker and contract Covid, their case should hopefully be not severe? (I think that is what the vaccine does?) I personally think all of the employees that are able to get it should, but if they won't cases should still go down in LTC facilities?
I got my first dose (Moderna) Tuesday afternoon. Mildly sore arm, no other side effects!! Bring on #2!!
Yes. Time is of the essence.That’s my thinking. That’s why I told my dad then they should just skip the employees and give it to the residents! My grandma wants it NOW. (Or 1.5 weeks ago like told originally). You don’t want it...fine...let’s get them to the people who want them. No time to waste.
I would go even further & say evil.I'm surprised that the company's message is they are "more than disappointed that this individual’s actions will result in a delay of more than 500 people receiving their vaccine.” ....more than disappointed?? Well they seem to be taking it better than I am...me? I'm sitting here like how heartless and awful do you have to be to intentionally do something like that?
Unfortunately, only vaccinating the residents won't help with future residents that may not have been able to get the shot for whatever reason. I'm sure there are also people who are severely immunocompromised in LTC facilities that the vaccine may not be very effective for.That's sad. I do have a question about it though.

Beyond evil when you see that it appears the pharmacist was going to give out the knowingly spoiled medication as legitimate vaccines. https://www.wisn.com/article/covid-...y-spoiling-of-vaccines-by-pharmacist/35105533I would go even further & say evil.
Oh my goodness that is just holy cow wow..Beyond evil when you see that it appears the pharmacist was going to give out the knowingly spoiled medication as legitimate vaccines. https://www.wisn.com/article/covid-...y-spoiling-of-vaccines-by-pharmacist/35105533
Just the usual huh?
Seriously though. The common side effects seem to be similar to severe cold symptoms, which means it's just building an immune response. Of course no everyone gets a severe immune response.
disappointing for sure. I wonder if the facility already went through an outbreak though? Perhaps good clear education wasn’t provided.Oh wow. Since residents are most at risk from the people who work there, that's really disappointing. What a waste.
Mil (in Tennessee) got her first Moderna vaccine at the local drive through site for those over 75 this morning.
Opened at 8 am. She was in line by 6:30 am with about 10 cars ahead of her. By the time she left at 8:45 the line was at least a mile long.
They were to be there until 4 or the doses ran out. They published other days this week for shots, too.
She had a 'mild' case of Covid in July and still gets short of breath easily.
She was excited to get it. 2nd dose at the end of the month.
So glad to see the general population begin getting it!
You should be eligible for it now. WI is following CDC recommendations and all healthcare workers are in group 1A. At least two of the big medical groups on the east side of the state are vaccinating all of their employees. My wife does IT for one of them and she got her first dose last Tuesday.I am a Medicaid RN care manager in Wisconsin. I have not been told when we are eligible for the vaccine. We are required to do face to face visits with our members who we cannot make wear masks in their homes. I can honestly say of my members, only 2 have worn their masks for our visits. In Wisconsin, over 75 have not yet been able to get on the list and my DD21 is a PCR at a local clinic and has not been offered the vaccination. Waiting patiently.

Also in TN and my county had the first clinic with 500 doses for healthcare and 75+. It was first come first serve and it was a mess—people bunched together waiting in line for hours. They ran out 45 min in. Another friend in a county in TN reported her parents waited for almost 4 hrs only to be turned away because they had a shingles vaccine a week ago. I understand the reasoning for not wanting to vaccinate due to recent other vaccination, but that would be frustratingMil (in Tennessee) got her first Moderna vaccine at the local drive through site for those over 75 this morning.
