A bit off topic but the Vaccine Center at Kentucky Dam Village is now accepting walk-ins. No appointment necessary.
It's totally free too.
Even with it being free and easy to get, not many want it. They have been advertising free walk-ins like crazy this morning on the radio since so few are making appointments.
News Channel 6 did a story on it last night about how few people were getting the vaccine, said that most are taking a "wait and see approach to it." The vaccination center at KY Dam was planning on 1,000 vaccines a day, but demand has been less than 400 a day.
If it was the Johnson & Johnson vaccine, I might consider getting it, but this "free" vaccine site at KY Dam only offers the Pfizer one.
I got both my Moderna vaccines and no problems at all. Please everyone take the vaccine.
Took both doses of the Pfizer vaccine ... sore arm at injection site was the only side effect on either occasion. Even those I know that took the Moderna or Pfizer vaccines, that had worse side effects, only had a mild headache & fatigue for one day.
It's not the side effects I'm concerned with, it's the method of which Moderna and Pfizer achieve their goal with mRNA. The Johnson and Johnson vaccine (adenovirus) is totally different and more effective against these new strains that have been showing up locally now.Quote:

The data from studies does not support your statement at all, that the Johnson & Johnson vaccine is “better”.
Updated data from Phizer shows that it is 91% effective vs variants.
Overall efficacy of Johnson & Johnson vaccine is 66% globally and 72% in the U.S.
So how is the J&J vaccine better? If you have data from a study showing that- please provide a link to it.
Regardless, all 3 vaccines- Moderna, Phizer, and Johnson & Johnson, are ALL 100% Effective at Preventing Hospitalization and Death! So I cannot comprehend why a person would not take whichever one is available to them, as soon as it is available to them.
AND .... the Pfizer vaccine has shown to still be 90% effective after 6months.Quote:

Wife and I got the Johnson & Johnson shot yesterday in Benton at the Marshall Co. Health Dept. - like redearhoosier I refused to get the two-shot deal, and I like the method that the Johnson & Johnson shot uses far better, that's similar to the flu shot, which uses an adenovirus and is a method that's been around for decades.
It's been 20 hours with no side effects. My arm really isn't even that sore, the level of soreness is about on par with shooting 4 or 5 rounds of .30-06 ammo through the deer rifle to check the scope on it.
You are entitled to your own opinions and assessments, everyone puts different values on the individual aspects of each vaccine, and weighs the pros and cons differently. From my research, the Johnson & Johnson vaccine was the one that looked more appealing to me, and I consider it to be "better" for me, but to each his own. Freedom of choice is a great thing.Quote:
