Good. I already booked mine for Monday but I am glad it's so soon just in case something comes up by Monday.
This is after Orange County Mayor Jerry Demings lowered the age to 40 on Monday after DeSantis bitched.
Eat Shit DeSantis
Eat Shit DeSantis

anyway this is good get that science into peoples arms.

Yeah I probably could have gotten it by now if I really tried but I figured they would open it up to everybody pretty soon.
By the way, everyone in Florida of all ages should be preregistering now if you haven't already, especially if you're going for a specific vaccine like single dose J&J.
I already have my appointment 4/2 at the convention center but it good to see that its opening up to more adults. Be sure to preregister so you can just sign in and set an appointment the day of.
Just pre-registered. I really hope I can get it the moment I'm eligible to make an appointment.
I decided to indicate I prefer Pfizer, but any of them will do.

People are lapping him up, though. And if Trump doesn't run, DeSantis will be formidable I think.
It has the highest efficacy rate (95+%). While it's basically tied with Moderna in that regard, it takes one less week to receive the second shot.
Yeah I heard the walmart there was offering up appointments to anyone, and I know a lot of friends were driving to rural Alabama or Georgia.
cvs doesn't check either. Many people I know already have it from there.
I don't think long term its gonna make any difference but as you say the Pfizer has a 3 week delay between shot 1 and shot 2 while Moderna is 4 weeks. Pfizer uses 30 micrograms of the vaccine for each injection while Moderna uses 100 micrograms (3x as much). Both pfizer and moderna are testing new booster shots that also target the new UK and South African variants but thats probably months away from being rolled out.
Everyone in my family has gotten the pfizer (2 doses for everyone 65+), I'm the only one who got the moderna one lol. We all basically felt the same, sore arm the older folks felt way more fatigued for a few days.
DeSantis is a "smarter" Trump. He would probably beat any Dem candidate in 2024, no joke.
You're not going to stop people from partying in Florida at this stage so you might as well let them get vaccinated. Beyond that, opening up to everyone bypasses the risk of antivaxxers, which typically skews toward older people, because the people around them will be getting vaccinated.
I got my 1 dose a week ago and will get my 2nd one on the 9th. Hood to hear everyone else will be able to get it.
Amazing how the US turned from one of the worst performing countries to seemingly nailing the vaccines behind only Israel and UAE
Floridians 16 and older will also be eligible for the Pfizer vaccine starting April 5th!

not sure if this is accurate, and i'd like to be wrong, but it seems to me like the opening up of vaccine availability at a much earlier anticipated date than expected is an indicator that there's more supply than demand, which is good if you just want a vaccine, but not great if you're hoping for herd immunity.
for example, i live in idaho and everyone 16+ will be eligible to be vaccinated in april, at some date much earlier than was anticipated. it's not because idaho is better than california, it's because the demand for the vaccine isn't as high as expected, which isn't great.
i look forward to being vaccinated but i'd rather wait a few months if it meant that people ahead of me in the line were being vaccinated at a high rate - which where i live isn't the case, sadly.
Unfortunately any senior that hasn't gotten it yet here in Florida just doesn't want it. I think waiting to try to coax those into getting it would be a waste of time as getting to herd immunity might help save those stubborn elderly.
I don't know if that's true. My parents have been trying to get theirs from the beginning or were just able to. And my mom was in the pre-existing condition group.
This is true. My wife hunted down a shot for my 75 year old mother. You have to be computer literate, plus a bit savvy to grab a shot up until now.
That's interesting, what part of Florida? Here in Orlando the fema centers are taking walk ins.
