Walgreens and CVS Health have the ability to vaccinate 50 million Americans a month against Covid-19 once the shots are available to the general public by the end of March and early April, the drugstore chains said this week.

In separate presentations at this week’s JPMorgan Healthcare Conference, the nation’s two largest drugstore chains opened a window into how all retail pharmacies plan to dramatically ramp up vaccinations to one-third of the U.S. population. Of those Americans that will be eligible to get vaccines, “roughly 100 million (will be) available to retail pharmacy, and all pharmacies will take part in this mass vaccination,” Walgreens co-chief operating officer Alex Gourlay said Wednesday during the virtual JPMorgan event.

Walgreens, CVS and other retailers that include Walmart, Rite Aid and myriad grocery store chains are ramping up hiring of pharmacists, nurses and pharmacy techs to handle about one-third of the general public’s vaccines

^^^. There is also talk of letting Dentists vaccinate as well.

You'd think they'd provide it to the places that are best getting the vaccines administered.

My wife and I got our first dose today. It was the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 Vaccine. We have to wait 21 days minimum to get the second dose.

We had to sign up on-line on the Oklahoma Health Dept site, and then they sent an email to us each to get an appointment to get the shot. All the nearby places were booked, so we had to drive 95 miles each way to Weatherford, OK get the vaccine.

Now I guess I will have the uncontrollable urge to by Microsoft products and the genetic mutations begin.

Mom and Dad were jabbed today. Moderna. We will see if they start to crave mosquitos and start to hang upside down...

Covid vaccines may not prevent you from spreading the virus.

Vaccines can provide two levels of protection. The measles vaccine prevents viruses from causing infection, so vaccinated people don’t spread the infection or develop symptoms.

Most other vaccines — including flu shots — prevent people from becoming sick but not from becoming infected or passing the virus to others, said Dr. Paul Offit, who advises the National Institutes of Health and Food and Drug Administration on covid vaccines.

While covid vaccines clearly prevent illness, researchers need more time to figure out whether they prevent transmission, too, said Phoenix-based epidemiologist Saskia Popescu, an assistant professor in the biodefense program at George Mason University’s Schar School of Policy and Government.

“We don’t yet know if the vaccine protects against infection, or only against illness,” said Frieden, now CEO of Resolve to Save Lives, a global public health initiative. “In other words, a vaccinated person might still be able to spread the virus, even if they don’t feel sick.”

Until researchers can answer that question, Frieden said, wearing masks is the safest way for vaccinated people to protect those around them.

If you have the vaccine, you will not develop the disease. If you are exposed, you will quickly fight it off. You will certainly be LESS INFECTIOUS than a person who develops a regular case of COVID since it take you body more time to fight it.

Just a data point for everyone. My wife and I both got our first shot on Jan 15th. The Pfizer shot.

Both of us had virtually no side effects. I had a tiny little red spot of blood at the needle site. The next day the inch or so around it felt warm to my fingers if I touched it. I did not get sore at all, and after three days there is no evidence we received a shot. I would expect that much reaction from a saline shot. So for us, it was a total breeze. (In fact the winds were winds up to 52 MPH that day) so a big breeze.

My wife and I got the Moderna on Saturday. No pain nor reaction of any sort. Hopefully the 2nd shop in February will have no side effects as well.

LOL!! Two days pal! That's all ya got left!

The shot went fine. We had to sit in a room for 15 minutes after getting the vaccine to be observed. No pain in the shoulder YET and no knot at the injection site which is something I normally get from a flu shot. Only thing I'm noticing is some muscle spasms in my shoulder but that's probably unrelated. My wife and both kids had soreness and my oldest daughter had a headache and was fatigued the day after getting her shot.

I did take a cetirizine (allergy pill) before I went to get the vaccine.

Something of interest, or at least it was to me. I received the Moderna vaccine. I was discussing the vaccine with the person that was monitoring folks (no instruments or anything like that just watching to make sure no one has any reactions). I don't recall how long the timeframe was, but they only have a certain amount of time from the first injection from a vial to the last before a vial has to be thrown away. I think she said there are 10 doses per vial. So once tapped, they only have so long to give those 10 doses or the remainder have to be pitched. She said they're scheduling to make sure that every dose is being used.
