There have been some high profile cases of people doing vaccine tourism. The first one that comes to my mind is that woman who flew up from Argentina to get vaccinated in Florida then bragged on social media about how she got the US to pay for her vaccination. That wasn't the only case. Canadians have been known to come down south of the border to get vaccinated. In India, travel agents sell vaccination travel packages to get vaccinated in the US. Let's just say this really doesn't sit well with a large portion of the population. That's why many vaccination sites have residency requirements.
Yes, when you hear about those instances, it’s understandable why people push to keep it to that state or county’s residents, but as Tardis Mom mentioned, you also want to get those people who are traveling from one state to the next so they don’t bring it back and infect others. I’m praying that a lot of those Spring Breakers that were at Miami Beach weren’t from California. At my hospital, we just got our surgery center opened again after being closed for 2 1/2 months so the staff could open a unit at the hospital to help handle the surge of patients we had and just yesterday the hospital was finally able to ease the restriction of having family accompany a patient or visiting a patient in the hospital.
in a lot of places, residency is proved by a local bill. I may be nieve but don't snow birds have bills to pay in the winter residence?
We do have a lot of people with a second home in Phoenix, but there are also a good number who rent a place for 3-5 months and return year after year. Plus the tourists at the resorts. Here they're requesting a photo ID most place, I think.
I talked to someone earlier today who got the J&J vaccine last week. I was surprised to hear she had the more significant side effects like body aches, fever, major chills, etc. from the one dose (on par with the side effects usually heard of from the Moderna or Pfizer 2nd dose). She's in her mid-20s, essential worker. Maybe being young really kicks those side effects up a gear. She was thankful that she had the whole weekend to recover because the symptoms were severe enough to not allow her to sleep properly that first night.
At this point I kind of think we're need to be in "vaccinate as many people as quickly as possible" mode.
has anyone had an itchy bump where they were vaccinated 8 days later?I react to everything with bumps and itches- so it's not an uncommon thing. However, it is on the exact jab spot - and it's just a little bit larger then my normal itchy bumps
The newly identified side effect has been dubbed "COVID arm," but medical experts have given it a slightly more professional label: delayed cutaneous hypersensitivity, which essentially means a delayed reaction on the skin....What makes this side effect a little unusual is that it doesn't appear straight away. "Typically, it shows up 5-9 days after the first shot," Dr. Jaliman says.
My state, Minnesota, just went from only 65+ to 16+ overnight. My family all are scheduled and will be able to be together for the first time in over a year in six weeks. I’m a very happy dad.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
