So, for those who are interested... arm is sore but no worse than a tetanus shot, mild body aches like you get when you first start feeling a cold coming on, but advil makes that go away....

Pretty much the same thing from my sister in law. She said her arm was sore for about a day and that's been about it.

You want that slight reaction, even up to a mild fever. It's a sign that your body is reacting to the introduction of a virus (such as in the vaccine) and everything is working the way it's supposed to.
Exactly. Good thing is though, this is not a live virus vaccine so there is no chance of getting COVID from the vaccine or passing it to others as a result of having been vaccinated

The U.K. government announced the new coronavirus strain on Monday following an increase in cases in the southern and eastern parts of England. Just over 1,100 Covid-19 cases with the new variant had been identified as of Sunday, according to a statement from Public Health England.
Now, it's thought that the new strain could be up to 70% more transmissible than the original strain of the disease, Johnson said on Saturday, adding that it appears to be driving the rapid spread of infections.

Hopefully the vaccines are effective for this strain too?
No shit. If not this is a disaster and next year will make this year look like a beach party

Maybe those working in healthcare can confirm, but... is it still possible to privately buy Covid vaccines?
I get there is some controversy about queue jumping in terms of public health allotments and all, but for those who have privately sourced and procured their own supply direct from the manufacturers... like the NHL was originally supposed to do... is there anything that prohibits that?
(I'm expecting all of our players would be vaccinated at training camp, but wondering if that's actually true after all.)

Got my first dose of the Pfizer vaccine today through HCA. They allowed referring providers to get one. I signed up to do the cdc vaccine symptom tracker and reminder. So far, I just have a sore upper arm.

I have been posting on the main board. The pharmacist who spoiled the Moderna vaccine in Grafton has been arrested. A person on Twitter posted that he will be charged with 3 felonies. My tv news says that he is in jail and the motive is unknown.

Hopefully they hand out the harshest penalty possible and set an example.
The latest on the former Pharmacist in Wisconsin. I am beginning to think that he has mental problems. Please read the linked story.
Pharmacist sabotaged vaccines because he thought they were 'unsafe,' police say

Part of me tries to reason that pharmacists are human and have their biases. I've heard of pharmacists who won't dispense birth control or those who won't dispense it if you aren't married. To me, that's not okay, but there are those who agree wholeheartedly with that position. There are a lot of anti-vaxxers out there. Again, I don't agree with their position but they're there, and some are no doubt employed as pharmacists. He could have refused to dispense, but destruction of the vaccine is criminal. It is not his place to make those decisions for others, only for himself and maybe his own family. Prosecute him to the fullest extent of the law.
Woman who works in my office building was diagnosed with covid on 12/31. Just told us yesterday, but to be fair none of us go in to the office much and I haven't seen her since 12/19. Even then we were in relatively safe proximity on different sides of a production stage (30-40 feet apart, I'd say) except for a few minutes when she handed me a gift basket. So I'm honestly not worried for myself at all. She's miserable and I hate it for her, but she is young and immortal. It's probably just a bad case of the flu to her.

Yeah when our friends got it they said the weirdest part was the no taste thing. Just as a warning that doesn't apply to spicy lol.
I'll have to tell her that, lol, or not..l
I've heard it can last for weeks after COVID.
I know of someone who is 5 months post infection and still has very little taste or smell.

They made a video of trying hot peppers. They said it was really odd to taste nothing but be smacked in the teeth by the heat.
