Getting the vaccine??

[ApatheticNoMore]

What if you got a vaccine because you wanted it to be safe again to go to a tattoo parlor.

The last three times I have been in New Hampshire, they are advertising walk-ins at Walmart, Hannaford, and Walgreen.

I'm in central Ma, and the local CVS, Walgreens and Walmart all have walk in service. I got my J+J shot on the last day appointments were required and that was 2 weeks ago.

It should not be so hard to get the shot as it is in Mass. The last three times I have been in New Hampshire, they are advertising walk-ins at Walmart, Hannaford, and Walgreen.

I think it may be easier for those not trying to get Pfizer. But supposedly you are not supposed to switch brands. A study is underway to see if switching is okay at least for booster shots.

The end of the month the ability to preregister for a shot goes away in my state, so people will be even more on their own.

My brother does not drive so he wanted to preregister so he could arrange a ride.

It is NOT supposedly. We do NOT mix brands. Vaccines were not studied for this in the clinical trials that were submitted for EUA.

Mixed vaccine trials are ONLY occurring in Europe. None in the USA. The European results will not be out until June.

Why must you constantly reach for crap? Why can you not accept the guidance we have.

Because she wants to try on clothes without a mask.

Here's an article where the CDC says if you can't get the same brand for your second dose, take what you can get:

FYI in case any of you run into this situation. Be sure to click read more to see this section of the story from the very reputable WMUR.

Beware of people who will misrepresent the science and lie about what the CDC says out of animosity towards me.

This is an article about mixing brands under "exceptional circumstances." But I think right now all the different shots are pretty available, so people should definitely go the preferred route and get the same one:

Correct. We will not mix them as they are not studied, which the article DOES point out! If the world is crazy because we're barely approaching 2 years, why the hell would they take something voluntarily, not studied at all?

But hey, Y is the expert on things Covid so I'll let my organization know 'mixing it is' because Y said so

It doesn't sound like there is any need to mix them, for sure. That article was from January, when there was not much availability. SO much availability now, everywhere I go they are advertising, "walk in and get the shot!"
