Just got home from getting my 2nd Pfizer dose.
I'll get my 2nd dose of Pfizer tomorrow morning.
As a person who works developing rapid testing for C19 ( recently published). The only reservation I had getting vaccinated was the effectiveness of the vaccine ( mostly due to the elaborate storage conditions and the fragility of RNA in general) Results to date have been outstanding. This has been a very impressive rollout and a testament to the advancements in modern medicine. The shit we can do today would blow your mind.
No, the U. We developed a lateral flow test. Like a pregnancy test but for Covid.Do you work at Mayo? A woman from my small school up north who was a few years younger than me led the team at Mayo developing the first rapid testing or something along those lines I believe.
Received my 2nd dose of Pfizer early this morning. Not feeling any side effects as of yet.
The only side effect I got was a really fricking sore arm!Received my 2nd dose of Pfizer early this morning. Not feeling any side effects as of yet.
Sorry to hear about your family friend. I keep hearing about really effective theurapuetics, but don't know how much they are in actual use in ICU's.Just had my 2nd moderna shot and am currently in the waiting room for the next 15 minutes.
The first shot left me a bit puzzled, because although I was really tired and had hot flashes for a few days, most of the side effects were delayed. It was one week to the day when my injection site started itching like crazy. Then it swelled up like a baseball. However, that only lasted about a day and a half. The most annoying problem was the swollen lymph nodes. I've read that you can get them on the side where you received the shot, but I had them all over on both sides. They were under both arms, on my upper chest.....and just painful for about a week and a half. But they too cleared up. A little nervous about if the reactions from the second round will be worse. But it's all worth it. We have a close family friend who could have been vaccinated earlier than most people due to his age and health conditions, but he wanted to wait to see if there were any problems with the vaccines. So he continued working. He caught Covid 3 weeks ago. It happened fast. He's on a ventilator. While nothing is a guarantee, it just feels like this could have been avoided.
I will say this second shot hurt a lot more than the first....still stings.
Mayo Clinic refuses to give out those cards because they have a complete lack of security as proof of vaccination anyway. They advise to just print out immunization details from the patient portal that is far more detailed information wise anyway.All I know is that I felt great relief when both of my parents reached their two week mark after the second dose.
They laminated their cards, because that's what the nurse and others had said to do early on. But now we know that there will most likely be booster shots this fall. And those stickers can be added to the same card. I'm tempted to try de-laminating them.
Private businesses have every right to require vaccination if they so choose.I hope some serious discrimination lawsuits occur over these vaccine cards wrongfully affording people various access and benefits. I hope the Supreme Court and the MN state and fed level absolutely destroy this atrocity.

Yes, for international travel, it will just be another amongst many already required vaccinations.I see these vaccine cards coming into play for international travel. My bet is that there will be some (if not many) countries demanding proof of COVID vaccination before they allow you to enter. Nothing the US Courts can do about that.
Bingo!Private businesses have every right to require vaccination if they so choose.
This is my biggest fearYes, for international travel, it will just be another amongst many already required vaccinations.
My guess, for sporting events/ concerts at full capacity, you'll either need proof of vaccination or a recent covid test showing negative.

Regarding the patient portal, what if you don't get it through a clinic though?Mayo Clinic refuses to give out those cards because they have a complete lack of security as proof of vaccination anyway. They advise to just print out immunization details from the patient portal that is far more detailed information wise anyway.
I believe Mayo is pushing for some sort of universal digital COVID vaccination confirmation format instead of the useless hand written cardboard cards.
The cards format has already been posted online and non-vaccinated people are making their own.
