Where's The Vaccine?

What excuse are they giving for this?
Not that it makes any difference here, we just got the new strain of Covid from Africa.

A friend of mine said she got a text from our medical group (Houston Methodist) that the vaccines are available and sent her a link to schedule. She's getting the first shot January 13.

Many hospitals and clinics in the Houston area are giving them. You have to be over 65 with a health issue that puts you in a higher risk group. I have a clinic a mile from me that I registered at yesterday.
 
My mom is eligible and has to give an answer by Monday, I think. All the CVS and Walgreens stores here are accepting people's commitments to the vaccine but I don't know how that goes. No drive thru vax here tho.
 
I have no idea, Becky, but my guess is no.

Here is an introductory list of individuals being granted the powers to administer the vaccine here in Canada.

  • Pharmacists.
  • Veterinarians.
  • Veterinary technologists.
  • Midwives.
  • Physiotherapists.
  • Lab technologists.
  • Respiratory therapists.
  • Occupational therapists.

It also includes students training to become doctors, physician assistants, nurses, paramedics and dentists.

Retired health-care professionals (including those no longer registered with their professional college) are on the list as well.

I'll bet few of the above listed are trained and/or equipped to treat a severe allergic reaction (or worse).

If their only administering the shots at a location equipped to handle medical emergencies that's ok. But! If people in these occupations are administering the vaccine in their offices????
Not many on that list are equipped to handle any medical emergency.
 
At the current rate of actual vaccinations it will take ten years to vaccinate the population according to one research firm this morning. Recall how fast we organized after Pearl Harbor? Twenty million were supposed to be vaccinated by 12/31 while 2.7 million actually were. This is in the computer age.
