The Vaccine Discussion Thread

[CM Dad]

My card has those lines, but the next sticker (for dose 2) will cover them, if it's the same size as the first sticker.

My card has no stickers. Handwritten product and lot number.

I think the stickers are something some places decided to use for easier administration. Mine has a sticker, and it does cover both lines. I am sure they will just stick the next one beneath it.

I hope Americans (as I don’t know rules elsewhere) realize that if it weren’t for the “emergency” of “COVID, they would not be allowed to administer this vaccine. Ask yourself, why is there a patent for the Coronavirus well before 2019. (It’s not letting me paste the link, but search for Coronavirus patent). These vaccines have not gone through proper clinical trials as you know. So once this “pandemic” ends, they can no longer do these vaccines. So ask yourself......why continue to wear the mask if vaccinated? Why are people still testing positive though vaccinated? Why are hospitals being paid thousands for each Covid result? Just please research before you get the jab.....please....

Also, look up adverse effects of the vaccines and you see numbers of those who have had reactions.

The link to the video you are referencing was removed by You Tube in spring, 2020. It was later reposted on Facebook and was also removed from that resource for this reason:
False Information Checked by independent fact-checkers

The "patented vaccines" the video reported as a "Covid-19 vaccines " were actually approved for use against the SARS virus.

Let's please be careful about promoting False Information especially when it has NOTHING to do with Disney Cruise Line or its policies.

I went to a FEMA site.

Interesting. Here in Orange County, FL, Orange County Health Officer Dr. Raul Pino said people should get them laminated.

Thanks!
I checked the manual, but I get stuck at not being able to register. https://vams.cdc.gov/vaccineportal/s/login/?ec=302&startURL=/vaccineportal/s/
I click on the state, and Florida only directs you to the pharmacies' personal websites. I didn't even use that to get my vaccine; I just walked into my local pharmacy.

Edit: Upon more research, it seems if your state doesn't use VAMS, you're just out of luck and there is no digital tracking available to us common folk.

If your state/county does not participate in VAMS (Vaccine Administration Management System) you won't have access to that information but your State/County may likely have some other tracking system in place.

When I access my VAMS account I am directed to the Recipient Portal where I can review (and print) the information their for each appointment and the Vaccine Certificate.

  The certificate itself is nothing special or official looking so I'm not confident that it would be widely accepted as proof of anything - but am certainly willing to try to use it as proof of having received the vaccine until another means is made available.
  
  
  On another note, the local free clinic where I volunteer has been approved by the state health department to provide vaccinations as soon as next week. We anticipate that we will begin receiving the Johnson & Johnson single dose product to administer to our patient base.

That’s not the link I was referring and you wouldn’t know which link I was referencing as it never attached so I’d prefer someone not make an assumption on that which I was referencing? it was actually the patent office. I hear what your saying and my point is for those who may choose to not receive this vaccination, it may affect if they can cruise. If Disney requires it, then those of us who opt out, won’t be cruising is my point. We are willing to pass if it’s required.

Actually you did reference that when you stated above "(It’s not letting me paste the link, but search for Coronavirus patent)". My search brought up several references to what you were referencing by using the means you provided.

Taking a pass on cruising if vaccination is required is certainly your choice and posting your personal opinion about why you will choose NOT to cruise under those conditions is fine but please don't post information you can't support as fact. You are the one who instructed other posters about locating the video you mentioned.

 

[disneyfilemum]

We have a placeholder cruise and am not sure it will be of use. Do we think there'll be a vaccine only cruise? Do you think they'll push out the dates?

You said yourself it pulled up multiple results so again, you are choosing which information I may have been referencing which is presumptuous. End result, point taken and at the end of the day, it absolutely is each persons choice to make, cruising I mean. *wink*. Also, I don’t recall (I admit I didn’t go back to my original post) mentioning a video? Article was my reference. Just saying......(don’t want to put any words in anyone’s mouth now...).

Rather that respond in this thread with comments totally unrelated to this DCL vaccine discussion, I just sent you a 'Conversation' (PM) message with my response.

Enjoy!

Thanks. It's Florida... we're stuck in the 1960s.

The Biden administration plans to send a total of 4 million doses of AstraZeneca’s Covid-19 vaccine to Mexico and Canada, White House press secretary Jen Psaki said Thursday.

The administration is assessing how it can loan those doses to the countries, Ms. Psaki said, with the expectation that the nations would send doses to the U.S. later. Of the 4 million, 2.5 million doses would be sent to Mexico and 1.5 million to Canada. She added the plans haven't yet been finalized.

The AstraZeneca vaccine isn’t approved for use in the U.S.

It's really too bad to see what's happening with Astra Zeneca. In a time where we need vaccines, the distrust that's been generated will keep people from taking that vaccine even though it's now been *re*declared safe.

We have a placeholder cruise and am not sure it will be of use. Do we think there'll be a vaccine only cruise? Do you think they'll push out the dates?

At this point, the only cruises getting read to reopen (out of the Bahamas and the UK and I also read something about Israel) are all requiring vaccination. I wouldn't be surprised if all cruises required vaccinations when they re-open. (Also most countries that are opening to Americans are requesting vaccinated Americans). It's all wait and see until we have something in writing.

I agree.I think looking into potential adverse effects, especially as it goes out to a wider population (vs. those in the clinical trials) is super important. (Yay, science!) But, I think completely halting vaccinations was a bad knee jerk reaction by people who are, well, NOT in fact scientists. The potential loss of life and health (long haulers and other potential effects we might not even know about yet) from Covid is far greater than any incidence we've seen with blood clots.

Hell, birth control pills lead to increase in blood clots and YET loads of people still take them for non-life-threatening situations (I realize some do take them for life-threatening situations, but that number is small compared to those that take them for other reasons).

My vaccine booking window opens tomorrow. I feel like WDW ADRs and DCL online check in have prepared me well - multiple devices fired up and ready to go.

Good luck! Making reservations definitely has prepared you for the challenge of securing your appointment.
