I agree, Jules, with experienced and trained staff ready at hand in the event of an emergency/need.

Living the Dream
We live in a 55 or older community, and we have to go 25 miles away and sit in line all day to get a shot. No freaking way can either one of us do this. Our bladders are only good for 2 hours tops.
My question is: why aren’t all these drug stores, senior centers, and even my own doctors office, giving shots here locally?
Our governor said after top priority folks get their shots, then those 65 or older will be next in line. That’s bull, as anyone can wait in line and get theirs. We called our local health department and 2400 folks are ahead of us.

No clue where or if I can get a Covid vaccination here in East Texas. Some pharmacies have gotten a shipment of the vaccine but only 100 doses per pharmacy so that was gone before anyone knew it was there and they have no idea when the next shipment will come or how much they will receive. I agree with General Honore. Number 1 task is for Washington to release the vaccine in mass amounts. Once the vaccine is rolling out, states should activate the National Guard - get them to deliver the vaccines to all areas of the state - allow the Guard medical personnel to administer the shots or provide staging and coordination of clinic sites so local medical folks can administer - sites can be drive thru open 24/7 - get 'er done.
You might have to run for office.

There aren't enough people certified to give out the shots. The federal government did not provide the money to do it. The states are strapped for cash. Hopefully this will change in the latter part of this month.
I don't know how certified someone has to be. Is there something special about this shot?
I've never been certified, but I give myself 4 shots/day.

They are talking about certifying dentists to do it. What you do for yourself is different than what someone else can do for you professionally.
I don't know what that means. I'm saying giving a shot is very simple & "certification" is not necessary.

For a person to give someone else a shot in a professional setting, they have to be certified. It's like you wouldn't go to a dentist who had did not have a degree to do that. There are state and federal requirements. Yes, it is necessary, whether we think it is or not.

Yes, they do. This is serious business. Plus, if someone gave it who was not legally qualified and something went wrong, the one giving the shot could be sued.
