https://www.healthline.com/health-news/pfizer-and-moderna-covid-19-vaccines-are-90-effective-in-real-world-setting#Masking-and-physical-distancing-boost-vaccine-protectionThe Biden administration has upped its initial COVID-19 vaccination goal to 200 million doses administered in the first 100 days of his term.
The White House also outlined a four-part plan to increase the availability and access to vaccination sites.
Currently, 46 states are track to open vaccine eligibility to all adults by May 1.
The vaccine rollout, however, is continuing to play out very differently in individual states based on available supplies and local vaccine hesitancy.

This past Thursday i got my first Pfizer dose @a Walgreens, and my daughter got hers at the county's mass vaccination location (at a drivethru event in the parking lot of a sports complex). She said the rollout was very orderly. My experience at Walgreens was also very orderly. Before and after me there were several vaccine recipients, and we each were processed and in & out in a half hour, including the 15 minutes post-shot wait period. The nurse giving the shots was very professional and caring. I could not have asked for better and other than the slight arm soreness for a couple days, had no reactions at all. More importantly, i was so relieved that both my daughter & i finally got vaccinated.
Current vaccine administered is 162M - the work of a highly competent administration :

(35,325 posts)there are 500000 plastic caskets being stored at Area 51
for vaccine deaths. Must be another Q conspiracy claims they were seen on Google maps but the govment blacked them out now. Then there is always that Bill Gates tracking chip.

(13,036 posts)They've tested the vaccines for children now so the hope is the kids can be vaccinated in time for the fall return to the classroom. Great news for your grandson 🙂
