By the time the vaccine will be getting distributed to the majority of the population, we'll have Biden as POTUS who, along with medical experts, will likely be constantly drilling into our heads the proper way to take the vaccine.Second shot no-shows could undermine COVID-19 vaccination efforts
Experts say a vaccine-resistant mutation is more likely if millions of Americans end up getting only one dose.
Over/under on America whiffing this one in a way that's only possible here, like we're doing in every other aspects of our response to covid?
There's like 70 + million people who won't listen to Biden and don't believe in science. Unless there's some wide spread enforcement I'd be surprised if they even took the first shot tbh.
Yes. Non completion of a series is a huge deal even with normal shots. It's why drastic measures like "can't enroll your kids in school until they have completed all shots" are necessary. With Covid I'd say businesses should simply say "no flying" or "no staying at our resort" unless you complete a run and provide verification.
You've got too much faith in health care professionals that are PROFESSIONAL and arent also nutters.
The Oxford team botched their data collection/analysis so badly that it's hard to tell what their data actually shows, but if their solution is similar than one dose still offers some immunity, so if that's the case for Pfizer and Moderna as well then I don't think it'll be anywhere near the problem that people worry it might be.
Well I'm assuming you aren't going to take 1 day off if you can't take both off
We do that now with all kinds of medical follow-ups and people are still pretty crummy at responding for a variety of reasons. Hopefully the seriousness of covid would motivate them to stick with it, but you've also got to consider people working jobs with unpredictable and inflexible schedules, people with limited transportation options, kids who would need to be watched, etc.
Honestly, I would definitely base trips/stays/vacations around the stringency of their requirements.
Not a good response for a variety reasons. Those people aren't just hurting themselves, they're endangering others because the vaccine isn't 100% effective and not everyone can get vaccinated.
Yea, a lot of people will have to take a vaccine to keep their job and somewaht function in society, regardless of political orientation. I fully expect travel, guest services, essential workers, school, healthcare, child care and elder care workers and fields to require it as a baseline of employment. No business wants to be the one that is seen as spreading the virus when customers can easily go to the hotel across the street or whatnot.
As well as people being unable to pay, that would also result in some people using it as an excuse to push themselves away from the vaccination processs.
Lol good luck having universal credible proof without a unified government database for that.
Agreed. Couple that with being excluded from large gatherings and travel and people will be waiting with bated breath.
