ktgrok Posted March 10, 2021 Share Posted March 10, 2021 4 minutes ago, frogger said: Part of it was that people in the tiers that were open were letting appointments go unfulfilled so even though not everyone who is in previous tiers has been vaccinated they have all had a chance to sign up. If you want to move quick, let people who are ready and willing get'er done is the thought process. That seems to be what is happening here. And honestly, they are not checking closely - at this point having a few "sneak" through is better than holding up the line to investigate and keeping others from getting it efficiently. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ktgrok Posted March 10, 2021 Share Posted March 10, 2021 So, there are two FEMA sites near me now. One is the main one, on a community college campus. It is so efficient it is almost scary, lol. They have no real wait, maybe a few minutes, as of the last few days. Only crunch time is early morning, because people are expecting it to be a problm, show up and line up hours before it opens, so there is a backlog to deal with. But after that clears out there seems to be no wait. A few days they have run out by mid afternoon, but other days they had fewer show up than expected. The other is a pop up site at a local park, smallr, and I'm hearing it is hours of waiting and some then still getting turned away. You'd think they'd at least cut the line off so that people don't wait who won't be able to get a shot, but no. So both FEMA, but run very differently. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frogger Posted March 10, 2021 Share Posted March 10, 2021 When I got my shot through the tribal health consortium there was no line anywhere. I moved from station to station smoothly though they had x's on the floor just in case. The only spot I was really in a room with others (besides staff) was getting the shot and that had dividers and the wait room to see if you had a reaction. Chairs were spaced apart and cleaned when you got up to leave. Your name was called at 15 minutes where you were asked how you were feeling and if you already scheduled your next shot. You left by a different route so you didn't really pass people. It really was a thing of beauty. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suspect they already know that 2 doses is more effective, but also know that a "1 shot" vaccine is a big selling point. I will not be surprised if the data from the 2-dose trial gets released this summer, after all the first doses have been distributed, and then they'll announce that everyone who got the "1 dose" vaccine should come back for a 2nd shot. I just wish they'd release their data on mild illnesses, like every other manufacturer, so we'd know what the real efficacy is. 12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
