There is no excuse for a health care professional that wants the vaccine or is required to get the vaccine to not have gotten at least one dose. As the first group (1a), they have been eligible since before Christmas. At this point, for whatever reason, they have chosen to not be vaccinated. Their choice.

College Station school board draft agenda.

The "booster" the media and Pfizer are babbling about is not available and not expected to be for months.. This would be one designed for the much hyped "variants" which the media acts like will kill us all.

Hoping for a serious answer rather than an F16 one, TIA.

And Moderna is also working on one, not just Pfizer.

It was a serious answer. It is not available yet and nothing from Moderna so far unless they announced it today.

Try F84 if you don't like the answer to the question. I'll mock the media any chance I get because they deserve it.

The Eagle would not have any "breaking news" if the Covid crisis ended.

I think once we get to that point, it will be available the same places as flu shots and other vaccinations.

Antibody levels in the original trial subjects are still looking really good right now though.

Has it been determined that delta is here?

On a positive note, the Moderna vaccine helped with my post covid symptoms. I have less pain when walking. Still not up to running and the weight gain is depressing. Surprised I am gaining weight since food still tastes of nothing or of minerals/dirt - especially meat. BBQ is beyond horrible, which is unfortunate since one side of my family lives for BBQ. The dr says that it may have been because taste/smell is neurological than muscular and that there is a chance that it will not improve. He is also concerned about diabetes - they are now seeing diabetes show up in post covid people, but they do not know why. He went looking for it because of my weight gain. I think it is more of not running and some depression dealing with my life going from fit healthy person to now apparently chronically ill person all of a sudden. I had no reason to think I would get like this. I was led to believe younger, healthy people had little risk. Well, I did not die. I guess that is what was meant by lower risk.

I am sorry for those who are unable to get vaccinated, or those like me who caught it before there was a vaccine. If I had gotten the J&J, I would be looking for a Pfizer or Moderna shot as a booster now, not later. If I had only gotten one shot, I would be getting my second ASAP. You do not want to be living with the post Covid symptoms like me. By the way, my case is not included in the numbers since when I got it, it was too hard for me to get a test and I was too sick to go searching for a test or stand in a line. Those numbers for our county are low, IMHO. If you have Covid, there is a good chance you are not going to go stand in some socially distanced outside line.

It was likely here before the news media started focusing on it. Lamda is probably already around as well.
