            Where's the Gates operation that was supposed to vaccinate the world within 6 months of a vaccine?

            Also, those 18-year-old Walmart employees really should stand aside...

            We talked again about this maybe 3 months ago. Simple answer is I don’t know.

              A friend of mine's wife got the call yesterday, and the jab today. She's a harbormaster on
              Cape Cod.

              I was only joking

                    So she sits in a tug by herself most of the time and 3-4 times a day joins one person in a cockpit for 20m. But by all means she 'deserves' it.

                    Her 74 year old mom on chemo is just gonna have to wait.

                          Jolly, I must have missed something.
                          Why did you decline?
                          It's pretty important to me if you're not taking the vaccine, you are the most knowledgeable on this forum when it comes to how things like a vaccine works.

                          Of course it's none of my business, so there is that.

                            North Dakota, West Virginia, Connecticut and South Dakota are winning the vaccination rate game at 74%,64,60 and 58% of distributed vaccines. Smaller populations of course but good lessons learned I suspect.

                            National ave is 34%

                              Here's my problem...I declined, but I told the IC nurse that I'd like to be vaccinated at a later date. She told me that a later date may be a long, long time away. Nobody can define what that timeframe may be...

                                Ohio seems to have it pretty well together.

                                Ohio’s Phased Approach

                                Ohio’s goals are clear: to save lives and get students back in schools. While vaccine supply is limited, Ohio will follow a phased

                                approach to vaccine administration. In the first vaccination phase, priority will be given to individuals at the highest risk, as well as

                                essential healthcare workers and personnel caring for COVID-19 patients. The speed at which Ohio will move through the phases is

                                largely dependent upon the number of vaccine doses available. As supply increases, COVID-19 vaccines will be available to all

                                Ohioans who choose to be vaccinated.

                                • Phase 1 (Supply Limited) – Vaccine is available in limited supply and will be available only for specific critical populations.

                                Ohio will focus on vaccinating those most at risk, as well as essential healthcare workers and personnel caring for COVID19 patients.

                                • Phase 2 (Supply Increasing) – Vaccine availability is increasing and can be offered to a larger group of specific critical

                                populations who choose to be vaccinated.

                                • Phases 3-4 (Widely Available) – Once the vaccine is widely available, Ohio will continue to strategically vaccinate Ohioans

                                if they choose to receive vaccine.

                                Phase 1A

                                During Phase 1A, which began December 14, 2020, priority was given to vulnerable individuals who live in close proximity and those

                                who care for them:

                                • Healthcare workers and personnel who are routinely involved in the care of COVID-19 patients.

                                • Residents and staff in nursing homes.

                                • Residents and staff in assisted living facilities.

                                • Patients and staff at state psychiatric hospitals.

                                • People with developmental disabilities and those with mental health disorders, including substance use disorders, who live in

                                group homes, residential facilities, or centers, and staff at those locations.

                                • Residents and staff at our two state-run homes for Ohio veterans.

                                • EMS responders.

                                Phase 1B

                                During Phase 1B, the focus will continue to offer protection to those at high risk and have K-12 students back in the classroom by March

                                1. This phase will specifically include:

                                • Ohioans, age 65 and up.

                                • Individuals with severe congenital, developmental, or early-onset medical disorders that make them particularly vulnerable.

                                o This includes cerebral palsy; spina bifida; congenital heart disease; type 1 diabetes; inherited metabolic disorders; severe

                                neurological disorders, including epilepsy; severe genetic disorders, including Down syndrome, fragile X syndrome, Prader-Willi

                                syndrome, and Turner syndrome; severe lung disease, including cystic fibrosis and severe asthma; sickle cell anemia; and alpha

                                and beta thalassemia.

                                • Adults/employees in K-12 schools that want to go back to, or to remain with, in-person or hybrid learning models.

                                Tentative dates to start vaccinating these Phase 1B populations are:

                                • The week of Jan. 19, 2021 – Ohioans 80 years of age and older.

                                • The week of Jan. 25, 2021 – Ohioans 75 years of age and older; those with severe congenital or developmental disorders.

                                • The week of Feb. 1, 2021 – Ohioans 70 years of age and older; employees of K-12 schools that wish to remain or return to inperson or hybrid models.

                                • The week of Feb. 8, 2021 – Ohioans 65 years of age and older.

                                When a new age range opens, vaccinations will not be complete for the previous age range. It will take a number of weeks to administer

                                all of the vaccine given the limited doses available. In order for K-12 school staff to receive the COVID-19 vaccine, schools are required

                                to return to an in-person or hybrid learning model by March 1, 2021, and should submit the K-12 Notice of Intent form no later than Jan.

                                18, 2021.

                                How To Find a Vaccine Provider

                                A provider search will be available at coronavirus.ohio.gov beginning Thursday, January 14, 2021, allowing Ohioans to search by

                                county, ZIP code, and Phase 1B population to find a provider in their area. Groups defined by age will receive the vaccine from local

                                health departments, hospitals, federally-qualified health centers, as well as some retail pharmacies. Providers for other audiences are

                                yet to be announced.

                                Future Phases

                                The vaccine distribution plan for future priority populations are still under development and will be shared publicly once finalized. As

                                more information becomes available on who can receive the vaccine and when they can receive the vaccine, we will communicate this

                                information publicly through the news media and share information at coronavirus.ohio.gov/vaccine.

                                The vaccine has been shown to prevent COVID-19 and to decrease the severity of illness in people who catch the virus that causes

                                the disease. Vaccinating a significant portion of Ohioans will help prevent serious hospitalizations and deaths.

                                Using all the tools available to help prevent the spread of the virus continues to be critical until a substantial number of Ohioans can be

                                vaccinated. Continuing to wear masks that cover the mouth and nose and social distance will reduce your chance of being exposed to

                                or spreading the virus. Proper prevention measures, coupled with the vaccine will provide the best protection from COVID-19.
