The odds of that are growing shorter weekly. I’m in the last “who haven’t we gotten yet” group also. I’m picturing myself taking precautions and not taking any trips until end of 2021. Irony is seeing 65 and older having priority and I’ll be close to that by time I do get vaccinated Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are no vaccines approved for youth yet. edit: obviously, none of the kids who are in "in person" school or will be in "in person" school soon have been vaccinated either.

The Pfizer vaccine has been approved for 16 and up and the Moderna for 18 and up. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keystone3ply Posted February 10, 2021 Share Posted February 10, 2021 The NEA just released a survey today that only 1 out of 5 teachers have been vaccinated. 😡😷 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm hoping the J&J vaccine gets approved so I can receive it as one dose & not have to worry if they kept if cold enough. There have been & will be human error involved with some of these extreme cold storage requirements. What I read showed Warp Speed initially ordered 100,000,000 doses from Pfizer and another 100,000,000 from Moderna early on, and then in December added another 100,000,000 from Moderna. Pfizer declined another 100,000,000 at that time due to what they promised other countries. J&J had a 100,000,000 does commitment early on as well, plus options for more. Of course, being single dose, the J&J dose count covers double the people as the other two. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both my marching members will be fully vaccinated by April Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The State controls who is eligible to receive the vaccine, not each county. People 16-64 can sign up and register, but that does not mean they are eligible right now to receive it, barring other issues. https://www.camdencounty.com/vaccineregistration/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know things are different depending on the state one is in. I was asking for status on any individual state that one might know about. Just trying to get a handle as PA is 🤮 imagine a nationwide coordinated effort......sigh 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How many corps have no kids under 16 or 18? (I expect the top corps, 2 of which are not playing this year, perhaps have the fewest) Perhaps those kids will not be allowed this year?
