It’s been very slow at the federal site in Jacksonville.
At the same time, Publix, Walgreens, CVS and Walmart appointments are packed.

And have you ever been on one with a Covid case in a post vaccine world? 🤷‍♂️

Have you? All any of us know is what has happened. How anything will be handled going forward is complete speculation at this point. I think you overlook the very short word "if" in many posts.

 

And... my post that you quoted was in regard to medical emergencies. IF cruises will not be terminated and everyone confined in this new post covid vaccine world then great.

My daughter got Johnson & Johnson at Walmart Monday. In Jacksonville. 
She was online at 6:45am to try to get a Publix appointment, and then was told none left, so she tried Walmart. 
Disappointed it wasn’t Moderna or Pfizer, but her doctor told her not to worry about it. He said she might have a higher chance of getting COVID, but still no chance of a serious illness. 

 

 

Those who receive the Johnson & Johnson vaccine will be fully vaccinated at least three weeks sooner than the other two current options.

 

Also, J&J was tested against the new strains when the other two were tested on the original strain.  J&J  trials also had no hospitalizations or serious illness - that is huge!

 

And one and done!

Is chicken pox as deadly as Covid? Just wondering.

All though record low Flu rates this last yr, many Vaccinated, more kids actually died from Influenza then from Covid. At least here in US.. But get your point Chicken Pox to Covid, 2 different Animals though none my kids were Vaccinated against Chicken Pox.. When Royal returns in US I see kids Cruising no Vaccine required and even if Vaccine for Adults is required to start or during Test Cruises it won't last or be Permanent.

IIRC in order to start school we were required to have the chicken pox and other vaccines. This wasn’t the case with your kids?

Here in Michigan J&J Vaccines to County Health, Homeless, inner Cities. Talk is will follow with Rural areas and people requiring shots at Home. Easier give one and done no reason to return for 2nd. Sounds like plan. Of the 4 places that called me last week to get Vaccine County was only one that had J&J. Not that I care, took first offer/appt and received Moderna

Nope to Chicken Pox, kids graduated in 2006, 2011 and 2015. Two my kids caught it around late 90's-2000, 6 months after their Cousins who had Vaccine and gave it to them. They'd not caught Pox before their Annual Physicals probably received it. They all had same Dr's. Not sure, do you get that Vaccine after you had Chicken Pox?

No way you were required to have a chickenpox vaccine that probably didn't exist in your childhood.

Poster asking about my Kids, graduating in last 10yrs

It stinks here in CA. The counties are fighting with the state and with Blue Shield who is supposed to take over administration of the vaccination program.  So once again it is back to political bickering. And in the meantime, those of us that are slightly under 65 are trying to get vaccinated. Unfortunately we don't seem to be underserved, educators, essential, non-Caucasian, caregivers, public sector workers, congregate housing inmates or residents.....or any of the other special interest things in California that would qualify us. 

 

So while they are fighting about all of this, we are anxiously awaiting our opportunity to get vaccinated. I have been waiting patiently, but I am started to get perturbed as other states increase the eligibility BY AGE.

Are you saying I’m old? 🥂 That’s ok, I am. I made a mistake and meant to say mumps/measles.

Not sure if you still get it after having chicken pox. Hopefully your kids would be immune, but I have no idea.

No. After you have had Chicken Pox you get the Shingles vaccine when you are 50 or older (Shingrex). And believe me, Shingles is 10 times worse than anything I remember about chicken pox.

We feel lucky to have gotten our first vaccine on Feb 20th...now waiting for the email to schedule our 2nd dose appt. which we should get early next week.

 

As of May 1st everyone 18 and up is eligible to get the vaccine ...no more tiers...Best of luck

Thanks. I had not heard that, but unfortunately it will be another free for all and scramble. I actually would like another 50-64 tier.  So we aren't competing for appointments with everyone......

Sign up to become a Uber Eats driver, get the shot and then quit. Heck, you might not even have to make a delivery. 😊

Update is that all passengers must be vaccinated by two weeks before and must also have a negative Covid test 72 hours before. 

 

They are playing it safe while also capitalizing on the pent-up demand for cruising. There are enough people in this hemisphere to pay Crystal prices and are old enough or have the means to have received a vaccination and are willing to travel -- anywhere -- if allowed.   

 

Crystal's parent company, Genting, is in financial dire straights and needs the revenue.  They own primarily hotels and casinos which haven't done so great in this pandemic.  Their shipyard in Germany is also suffering.  The sooner they restart, the better off they are.  Now that vaccines and tests are readily available for their segment of the market, the decision to restart in July makes sense.

Ha, well no older than me. I'm in my mid-30's and am still too old to have been offered the chickenpox vaccine.

Typically no. Usually all you need is physician documentation of having had natual disease. If that can't be obtained antibidy levels can be checked for proof.

I don't recall the exact years but the chicken pox vaccine became available for maybe a little over twenty, give or take a few, years ago. It took a bit of time after that before schools started mandaring it.

I managed to catch chicken pox when I was 20.  My new DH and I spent Christmas with his family and a nephew broke out Christmas Day.  So, a few weeks later I was covered in pox.  I had to call my college professors and explain why I was missing class.  They got a good laugh.

Same here.  We both feel very lucky that we got our first dose of pfizer last week and scheduled for 2nd dose on march 25th.  I'm early 50s and my DH is 61 but is a transplant recipient so I was allowed to get vaccine since I live with high risk person.    I felt guilty at first since I have no medical issues but now I feel thankful.

We just booked reservations for Easter brunch with my brother and his wife who have both been vaccinated as she is a charge nurse working with covid patients.  Her hospital allowed her to pick 1 family member in household to get vaccinated too, my Brother.
