Check your county health department because they differ in priority order.

San Mateo county includes 75 year olds AND 65 year olds with pre existing condition in 1B. Contra Costa puts 65 year olds below 75 year olds.

Many states have a clear order and expected vaccination dates, Calif does not.

Be proactive and call your provider once your demographic is eligible. I am with Kaiser who still have not put up any useful information. I bet I get it at CVS before Kaiser gets it together, but who knows.

Some states are allowing 65 year olds as of tomorrow. Wether they have enough supply to do it is doubtful.

---

Kaiser this week opened up vaccinations for 75+
I was able to schedule an appointment for myself but not for my wife since she is just 74+. The hospital was adamant that anyone not 75 could not get the appointment unless they met one of the other criteria (healthcare worker, long term care occupant, etc)

I have read in authoritative sources that one possible results of taking the vaccine is low grade fever and related symptoms.

Is it even remotely possible that my taking the vaccine can adversely affect my wife. We share EVERYTHING and have been effectively sheltering in place since March except for the odd trip to the grocery store.

---

Kaiser opened it up to 65+
I know that as fact. I got my first in Oakland yesterday....Moderna.
Only side effect is it feels like I was hit with a 95 mph hardball in my left shoulder.

---

Kaiser Oakland is where my kids and I were born and we still go there! What steps did you have to take, in order to get vaccinated? Were you notified or did you contact them? How did you hear about the possibility? (I am still a bit under the age limit, I haven't wished I was a little older since I was 19!)

---

I went on line at KP.org and looked up Covid Vaccine...and struck out at many other locations. Oakland had multiple options for this past week....

---

My inlaws, who live in Placerville and are well over 80, are still waiting for their vaccine. Kaiser is saying they will let them know.... Meanwhile, elsewhere 65 and up are getting theirs. Crazy.

---

You gotta be proactive. I checked online every night the week before my appt. On Wednesday the 13th, the website said appts would be available beginning the next day for 65+. I called the number provided at 8am on the 14th, waited 30 minutes, spoke to a rep. and made an appt for the 18th.

Waiting for them to call you - not a good idea.....
Calling them and pressing the issue - good idea.....

---

I rarely agree with this guy, but have to on this.
You gotta fight for your right to party with vaccinations. Kick in the door. Gavin Nuisance has lead us to 50th place out of 50 states in getting vaccines the state already has, into people's arms. Enough dicking around.

And sign the recall petition.

---

I have some good news for you: you have been greatly misinformed. It's true the state had difficulty with early data on vaccine delivery but we are nowhere near 50th. At this point we are above average in having distributed over 64% of the vaccines on hand and we are not too far behind in the percentage of the state that has been vaccinated (and doing better than about 20 states in that metric). Our vaccination rate is accelerating and I expect us to be above average within weeks.

---

• Don't know where you're getting your information, but according to USA Today, California has vaccinated only 7.7% of its population, which places it in the bottom third of all 50 states.

https://www.usatoday.com/in-depth/graphics/2021/01/14/covid-vaccine-distribution-by-state-how-many-covid-vaccines-have-been-given-in-us-how-many-people/6599531002/

My post had a link to Bloomberg's vaccine tracker - please feel free to check it out.

As for the USA Today - it's showing California ahead of more than 20 states in vaccinations as a percentage of population - 7.7%. It's showing a lower percentage of doses relative to supply than when I made my post (and Bloomberg's tracker has been updated to match) so I would imagine that's due to recent deliveries which is great news.

The numbers are constantly being updated but it's pretty clear that California is accelerating and nowhere near the bottom of the pack.

Providing my two cents based upon my recent experiences.
1. Anyone 65+ interested in getting a vaccine shot should regularly check out <my turn.ca.gov>.
I am 75 and with persistent calling was successful in getting a vaccine appointment through Kaiser. But l was unable to arrange an appointment for my wife who is 74.
My daughter who is a teacher made her appointment for a vaccination using the <my turn.ca.gov> website. While she was in the process, she discovered that SOME appointments were available for people 65+ (who are not teachers). So she immediately made an appointment for my wife.

The appointment through <my turn.ca.gov> are for the big drive-thru vaccination site at the Oakland Coliseum. My wife got her vaccination yesterday.

I was impressed with the organization there. The CA National Guard manned the setup and crowd control. The shots were administered by healthcare volunteers.
Hundreds of cars slowly drove thru the maze of
cones at 5 mph in the huge Coliseum North parking lot.

The cars were directed to the vaccination stations (probably 18 or 21 total). We stopped for just a few minutes, information was exchanged (and appointments confirmed). Shots were given. We drove to a post-vaccination station for 15 minutes. Then drove out of the parking lot.
The entire process took less than 45 minutes from entering the maze to exit
The process was orderly and everyone was friendly. It reminded me of the atmosphere of parking for an Oakland A's game without the Green and gold paraphernalia. And without the parking fees.

But if you go REMEMBER to bring your paperwork and Identification. I know that some posters on this board do not like Big Government. This was Bug Government at its best.

2. There has been some criticism of Kaiser's response. The information available from Kaiser is very transparent. The appointment website clearly lists how many doses have been received from the
government, how many have been given to patients and how many are committed for patients with confirmed appointments. The number of vaccinations given plus the number of confirmed appointments always exceeds the number of doses received from the government.
Clearly Kaiser is not sitting on any doses and is getting shots into arms as quickly as possible. It's ability to do that is limited by the number of doses being made available by the Government (I.e. the Federal government).

---

Great news! In fact, my wife is also a teacher and ALSO got vaccinated at the Oakland Coliseum site yesterday! I think it's great that teachers are being given priority and I hope that results in schools being opened soon.

I received an email from Kaiser the other day saying that, although their vaccine supply has been very small to this point, it will be rapidly increasing very soon. Probably has to do with them helping to administer the state's program (along with Blue Shield).

If you're like me and you'd REALLY like to get vaccinated ASAP, but just don't have enough "priority points", hang tight and stay healthy for a little while longer, as the vaccine situation will be getting a lot better, fairly quickly.

Correction there were not 15 to 21 vaccination stations there were THREE sets of vaccination stations for a total of 45 to 63 stations. My mistake was that EACH set of stations was under a separate large aluminum overhang equal in size to a large fruit-packing shed. ( the kind you see if you drive to LA on I-5 or Highway 99).

BTW. I understand that Newsom is pushing hard for all teachers to be vaccinated in order to get the schools opened ASAP thereby satisfying the parents demands to open schools and to do it in a manner that satisfies the teachers' demands to be safe

If Kaiser receives sufficient doses, I hope it opens up multiple sites as it does for the annual flu vaccines.
There were 3 different drive thru sites near and around the main hospital. Two walk up sites one outside of Fabiola building and one at 3701 Broadway ground floor.

But it will be hard to beat the Oakland Coliseum site for high-volume mass vaccinations from the safety of your own car and where there is little or no contact with the general public.

got my first dose 4 weeks ago...my left arm is still in a cast...next dose is this week. I will present my right leg for purposes of cast balance. Ba lance is everything in life...

A "CAST"?????
A sling maybe. But a CAST???
Did the vaccine shot give you a broken bone????

I think you may have set a record for most severe adverse effect from a COVID-19 vaccine shot!

When you go back for the follow up shot, watch out if the health care professional giving you the shot is in the "crane" stance
Or if you hear some say "Sweep the leg, Johnny"

My dad, who was helping build U.S. Navy ships when Joe Biden was born, got vaccinated a few weeks ago with no adverse effects.

My mom got vaccinated this afternoon with no adverse effects.

Yes but they were probably part of the generation that successfully. came thru the Great Depression, WW2 and the Korean War. As such they are no ordinary people.

got my first dose 4 weeks ago...my left arm is still in a cast...next dose is this week. I will present my right leg for purposes of cast balance. Ba lance is everything in life...

If the first dose bothered you, you may not be able to shoot free throws for a week after getting the second dose. I was ok until a few hours after than went to bed with pressure headache and extreme fatigue. Ate no dinner and did not get up until the next day. Fine now, although I also developed a rash on my back for few days. Had to get-a prescription to stop the itching.

On another note, I wonder-if Grant played better for a while due to the rest he got after the appendectomy .

After first shot - sore arm
After second shot - did not feel well for a couple days

You want to "get sick" after #2 because that means the vaccine is doing its job.

I had a similar experience. I had absolutely no adverse effects after the first dose; it was easier than a flu shot. However, 12 hours after the second dose, I became fatigued and lethargic and generally felt like I had a mild case of the flu. Those symptoms lasted for 5 days. I feel normal now.

Thanks for the warning. I felt no ill effects from my first shot. But I am getting my second shot this Friday. Now if I feel bad following that shot, I won't panic.

Second shot in the morning. Woke up at 2:20 AM and could not get back to sleep, so day two was the suck largely because I had been up wince that time. Low grade fever, fatigue, body ache and stomach unrest. Day three felt 90% fine. I'm mid-40s.

Good luck with your second shot. You can relax if you experience the symptoms I and others reported.

Pfizer vaccine.

Wife had the Moderna first shot and was sick for a week with chills, nausea, fever, and arm pain. Into day 3 after the second shot, she had all of the above but is better this time. So, you can have bad reactions to the first shot too.

On the other hand, I am not eligible for the shots yet. Can't wait to be 65 just like waiting for 16 (driving) and 21...

Go Bears

I was Moderna - I'm overfat, but no other real health complications/risk indicators.

Also - worse reaction on second shot is really normal for multi shot vaccines. For those who have a bigger reaction to the first shot, my hypothesis is that they have a previous exposure.

That was certainly the case when I received my two shot shingles vaccine a couple years ago. I was felt miserable for a couple days (worse than my reaction to the COVID vaccine) after the second dose.

I got my 2nd shingles shot over the summer....I thought I might have gotten covid given the reaction I had. I felt better in a couple of days.

Haven't gotten the covid vaccine yet, though.

I got first Moderna jab 3 weeks ago with only a slight sore arm. Wife had first Moderna jab a month ago and second jab two days ago. She was feeling bad yesterday with flu-like symptoms (fatigue, slight fever etc....) and slept from 6:00 pm to 7:00 am this morning announcing she feels fine..... small price to pay. Read the December 12, 2019 NDA between Dr. Baric (UNC Tar Heels) and NAIAD/Moderna concerning their production of mRNA work on coronavirus vaccines. Very disturbing in light of Dr Fauci's previous involvement with the Wuhuan facility and experiments that involved "peer to peer" transmission of the genetically altered strains. World record time (allegedly) for development of the vaccine?? I think not; China and the USA been working on this stuff for many years. Idiots at the Wuhuan facility negligently (hopefully, perhaps on purpose) let it escape into the general population. Thanks China and the WHO for the swell cover-up.

This is intensely nonsensical. Why would Trump have allowed this? Why wouldn't Trump and Qanon blow the whistle? Or is that what you think is happening on March 4?

People like you who believe in this sort of nefarious behavior have every reason to shed light on it and yet there has been zero confirmation worldwide? Don't you find it curious that the type of people who believe I. This stuff also believe in Bigfoot, that the moon landing was faked, that JFK Jr is alive, and that Trump, a serial philanderer and sexual harasser, is actively engaged in stopping pedophilia while managing to allow multiple Republicans close to his inner circle to peddle in child pornography? You don't have to be smart to connect the dots here - it's pretty obvious who is making up these wild stories and why they are never substantiated. Maybe time to examine why it is that there are ever wilder stories coming from the same people that never come true? Nah, better to continue to revel in self delusion and pretend that one day soon all of the BS will magically become true.

Check your county health department because they differ in priority order.

San Mateo county includes 75 year olds AND 65 year olds with pre existing condition in 1B. Contra Costa puts 65 year olds below 75 year olds.

Many states have a clear order and expected vaccination dates, Calif does not.

Be proactive and call your provider once your demographic is eligible. I am with Kaiser who still have not put up any useful information. I bet I get it at CVS before Kaiser gets it together, but who knows.

Some states are allowing 65 year olds as of tomorrow. Wether they have enough supply to do it is doubtful.

---

Kaiser this week opened up vaccinations for 75+
I was able to schedule an appointment for myself but not for my wife since she is just 74+. The hospital was adamant that anyone not 75 could not get the appointment unless they met one of the other criteria (healthcare worker, long term care occupant, etc)

I have read in authoritative sources that one possible results of taking the vaccine is low grade fever and related symptoms.

Is it even remotely possible that my taking the vaccine can adversely affect my wife. We share EVERYTHING and have been effectively sheltering in place since March except for the odd trip to the grocery store.

---

Kaiser opened it up to 65+
I know that as fact. I got my first in Oakland yesterday....Moderna.
Only side effect is it feels like I was hit with a 95 mph hardball in my left shoulder.

---

Kaiser Oakland is where my kids and I were born and we still go there! What steps did you have to take, in order to get vaccinated? Were you notified or did you contact them? How did you hear about the possibility? (I am still a bit under the age limit, I haven't wished I was a little older since I was 19!)

---

I went on line at KP.org and looked up Covid Vaccine...and struck out at many other locations. Oakland had multiple options for this past week....

---

My inlaws, who live in Placerville and are well over 80, are still waiting for their vaccine. Kaiser is saying they will let them know.... Meanwhile, elsewhere 65 and up are getting theirs. Crazy.

---

You gotta be proactive. I checked online every night the week before my appt. On Wednesday the 13th, the website said appts would be available beginning the next day for 65+. I called the number provided at 8am on the 14th, waited 30 minutes, spoke to a rep. and made an appt for the 18th.

Waiting for them to call you - not a good idea.....
Calling them and pressing the issue - good idea.....

---

I rarely agree with this guy, but have to on this.
You gotta fight for your right to party with vaccinations. Kick in the door. Gavin Nuisance has lead us to 50th place out of 50 states in getting vaccines the state already has, into people's arms. Enough dicking around.

And sign the recall petition.

---

You got the shot so stop your *****ing. The leadership at the top (tRumop) f'ed this whole virus response and you are blaming the governor? Get a clue.

---

Calm down calpoly and go sign that petition to recall Gov. French Laundry.

Dear Sucks. ALL the circumstantial evidence points to the virus escaping from the Wuhan Lab.
The clincher is that, to this day, China will not allow anyone into the City to investigate the source. the double clincher is that China & The Who covered up the virus for up to 6 weeks while the virus was spreading around the world. The triple clincher is that China was working on Bat viruses in both of their viral labs in Wuhan. The fourth clincher is that there has been zero evidence that Bats were being sold in the "wet markets." The old Soviet Union had two words to describe gullible westerners like you. The first word begins with a U. ( six letters_ The second word begins with a I. ( five letters) Please google.

There is a halfway decent possibility that EITHER could have been the source of SARS-CoV-2 (lab connection or "natural", i.e. zero lab connection). Anybody who is SURE of either one is likely basing their certainty on what they want to believe, because of their politics.

We need a foreign policy in which we find common ground with countries like China and Russia (and there is a lot to be found), but don't trust them for squat and don't let them get away with messing around with us or our allies, without consequences.


Meanwhile, returning to the topic at hand, I'm predicting I get vaccinated on April 15th, just in time to write a check to the IRS. Hoping for something earlier though.

On a related note, the myturn website sucks a$$.

An accidental release from a lab seems possible, though far less probable than transmission from animal hosts as has happened with every other virus throughout human history.

It is absolute nonsense to believe China purposely released a virus into their own population requiring them to have to lockdown a province, shut down their economy and build 10 hospitals in 10 days.

You are remarkably confident for someone who is constantly proven wrong. You need to update your fantasy talking points because even Fox News has reported facts counter to your narrative. I have no doubt you will adjust your narrative slightly to continue to spew unsubstantiated garbage.

Quote:

WUHAN, China World Health Organization investigators on Wednesday visited a research center in the Chinese city of Wuhan that has been the subject of speculation about the origins of the coronavirus, with one member saying they'd intended to meet key staff and press them on critical issues.

The WHO team's visit to the Wuhan Institute of Virology was a highlight of their mission to gather data and search for clues as to where the virus originated and how it spread.

"We're looking forward to meeting with all the key people here and asking all the important questions that need to be asked," zoologist and team member Peter Daszak said, according to footage run by Japanese broadcaster TBS.

...

Confirmation of the origins of the virus is likely to take years. Pinning down an outbreak's animal reservoir typically requires exhaustive research, including taking animal samples, genetic analysis and epidemiological studies. One possibility is that a wildlife poacher might have passed the virus to traders who carried it to Wuhan.

Got my second shot this past Friday. I did feel very tired and my muscles ached as if I had the flu coming on. By Sunday I was almost back to normal.
I did drink a number of cups of decaf coffee. Maybe that helped. Maybe not.

There was an interesting article in the NYT a week or so ago reporting that human encroachment men on natural habitats of bats has put us more and more into regular contact with one of Mother Nature's all-time best disease spreaders.

In addition it has been reported by climate scientists that increasing temperatures would also foster growth of disease carrying vermin (including rats and bats).
