The J. Hopkins website does have a page where you can see vaccination data by state........

Oh Thanks! I didn't see it for some reason.

Thank you! I bookmarked it. Unfortunately, as of today this one is as choppy as the rest. Just not enough data yet.

It's a new page they added. They have been adding more states as they start doing their vaccine rollout.

No, I understand- it's not them. It's just the data is limited.

By the way, I got to the source of this one: it's the CDC, not the media. They haven't updated their own numbers since Monday.

That's what I've found. Come on CDC....get your act together (just a vent...sorry). It's just a bit frustrating. Hoping things get smoother, and faster as time goes on.

I suspect it also has to do with whether the state is sharing that information with the CDC or not.

Both my state and the one next to me absolutely have been vaccinating people already since last week. But my state last I heard was apprehensive about sharing such information with the federal government although I hadn't necessarily heard the same for the state next to me.

The bad news: only around a million people have been dosed so far.

The food: almost 10 millions doses have been distributed, so the numbers will definitely keep growing.

Yep...that's how we have to think of it. We've watched a couple of Nasa/Space shows recently. Those rockets take time to fire up, get going off the ground and really take off. It's a momentum thing.

I just know so many people who are getting Covid now....it's getting closer and closer it seems. We went out for a drive earlier so we could (really me) practice driving our new car (it's an EV....new to me).....and I mean the mall, shops, stores...are *packed*. I know mask use is good, but it's just too many people. The vaccines can't come soon enough.

I know my niece in CA and one of DD’s best friends in Seattle are both scheduled for early January. Both are nurses who take their turn on the COVID floor. My niece being in CA her “turn” has been nonstop the last couple of weeks. I will be so relieved to know both are on their way to being protected.

Four more people l know have been vaccinated - 2 doctors (local to me), a nurse (local to me), and a doctor (my cousin in Seattle).

So local news ran a story about vaccine information related to that CDC link mentioned:

Missouri Gov. Mike Parson's office on Tuesday announced 23,000 people have received vaccines in a news release. The state has released limited information on where in Missouri those vaccines went. A spokeswoman for the Missouri Department of Health and Senior Services said the agency is developing a COVID vaccine data dashboard, but did not immediately respond to a request on when that might happen.

Kansas, meanwhile, has yet to publish numbers on how many people have received vaccines. "We hope to have that soon -- we're working to get everyone fully trained in reporting," said Kristi Zears, a spokeswoman for the Kansas Department of Health and Environment. "We are currently exploring options to best convey vaccine administration in Kansas. We hope to have updates on this in the near future."

Woo hoo, got mine today!

Yeah. I hope the rollout speed improves. Right now the infection rate is much higher than the vaccination rate. At this rate we are going to gain herd immunity via infections before we can get it thru vaccines.

So today our governor announced that teachers would be one of the ones next in line. That’s me! That’s me!

The issue is it sounds like it may be going through the school districts and ones that are not in person first.

I am at a private nonprofit that IS in person. No district to go through. I’m afraid I’m going to get overlooked and I’m with unmasked little kids all day so I need it!

How do you think I should go about inquiring about a vaccine? My doctor? They’re swamped. Email health department? Email governor? Lol. I don’t want to be missed when my position is actually higher risk because I’m doing this every day in person!

Apologies if this has been asked somewhere... this is a big thread.

I know recipients of the vaccine have to come back for a second one in a few weeks. If they choose not to, for whatever reason, does anyone know whether there is a plan in place regarding what to do with those doses originally earmarked for them? Do they "lose their place" in line, so to speak? Or will those doses be allowed to be given to a "fresh" group of recipients?

Good Question, right now outside of the few that had a severe reaction who may not be recommended to to take the second dose I am not sure we will see that many skip the second since its mainly been health care and nursing homes soon. Both of which it won't be hard to be reminded or followed up on. When it gets to the main population that will be different and more probably will skip but should have more doses overall. I hope J&J one is just as good or close to it as the others since for the general population the 1 dose will have better compliance in getting.

My son immediately made his second vaccine appointment as soon as he got his first.

I would think having an appointment already would make one more likely to show up for the second shot.

 

[Jonfw2]

Just got an email from our testing center- they will have the details of the Moderna unblinding next week.

Dr. Scott Gottleib said today that you could start seeing improvement in nursing home deaths and hospitalizations as early as next week, as vaccinations start to kick in.
