More like I don't really want some of my relatives finding me if/when they get out of prison.

So, ........ they stole your horse and you turned them in.... ??

:confused0068:

Not to make a big deal but I wonder how they'll establish whether they are valid.

Well, back in my Army days, I always carried my shot record with me on my person. Although we were responsible for carrying our medical records with us when we changed duty stations, I found it handy to have my shot record in my billfold.

Why? Because the aggressive medical personnel at the entry point always wanted to give me another series of shots! I wasn't going to take any chances on getting a "peanut butter" shot.

:eyebulge:

Maybe for the same reason the dentist usually gives you a card showing when your next teeth cleaning appointment is - just as a reminder?

:iono:

It's not hard to imagine a few different ways they could be used.

Some examples:

1. Getting into nursing homes to visit at-risk relatives (although I suppose care homes are supposed to be some of the first recipients so maybe not as important). Right now I can't visit my grandfather except for specially set-up appointments for a very short amount of time and it has to be outside on a patio even in the cold. You can't go into the facility or anything.
2. If areas have restrictions on number of patrons in a store, like there are right now, then maybe having a vaccination card could allow you in as a separate queue so you don't need to wait. (right now in California some counties are going back to like 25% capacity allowed at a time in stores)
3. Maybe being allowed to do indoor dining?

Hah, yea something like that.

I stopped carrying paper/card stock in my wallet because of how often my wallet got soaked but I do have a handy bifold vaccine form jobbie, also issued. It stays with my passport though. Id rather get an email. lol

Well, have you considered building a better bridge, crossing that stream between your cabin and town, there in WV?

BTW, where is HF in WV?

All of my kin folk, on my mothers side, were from the hills around Beckley, WV.

:cheers:

LOL! Touché but when the waters low I can cross the Potomac without any bridge. I’m in Harpers Ferry which is the eastern most point of WV. Beckley is a 4hr drive from me.

May have finally successfully convinced my parents to do a Zoom Christmas with our extended family.

Happened to see that members of that part of the family were completely disregarding guidelines and being careless, so I showed my parents proof and both myself and my older brother spoke to them about it.

I wouldn't have made such a stink about it if at the very least the extended family was being careful enough about it but after what I saw I knew I had to say something.

Well done!

We`re just having the normal Christmas, 3gens. Can bet it will bee all good because we`re the land of the free

Vaccine conspiracies are nuts. Something about heavy metals that turn your body into a 5G antenna?

Hopefully it isn't really this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lO2-YxWkRxk

have you looked into the 'anti-5g' devices? amazing snake oil.

Hell, I just learned what 5G was - NOW I have to get one of those to protect myself from it?

:bonk:

There's always this method:

History in the making, a 90year old lady living in Coventry, UK is the first person in the "real" world to be administered with the Covid-19 vaccine..

They should hand out "I'm vaccinated" stickers, like the "I voted" ones. lol

Well, we now know who that someone is.

Margaret Keenan, 90, is the first patient in the UK to receive the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine, administered by nurse May Parsons at University Hospital, Coventry, England, (Jacob King/Pool via AP)

... shes probably still at the pub.

Filed to: "Questions that will eventually be asked on Jeopardy."

The vaccine can be kept in a refrigerator for up to 5 days before administering. Up to that point it has to be well below freezing for transport. Details are here.

The side effects noted have been aches and fever, basically flu like symptoms similar to some other vaccines but may be more intense, from what I've read..

Wrong country.. England instead of Wales.. but good job done!!

Well, true, I was going with the whole first in the UK thing, assuming if she was the first it was for everywhere. Guess I wasn't thinking of it in terms of specifically Wales.

Witnessed it this morning on TV.
Apparently it gives one "The Vapors" while being administered.

They should advise keeping a lookout for an uptick in wibble.

Completely missed your post before mine somehow.

Left side or right side?

1/ Why is it a good question? According to who? It can't be according to you because a/ that would be incredibly biased and b/ you have not posted results from the survey showing the outcome to be "good".
2/ See 1
3/ Your phrasing of the second question is somewhat leading. That is, you are asking "how many side effects" not if there are known side effects.
I would have thought a quick look-up using your favourite search engine would have given you an idea of what to expect regarding side effects.

Side effects? lol

Allergic reactions to vaccines aren't unusual, particularly if you are known to have allergies.

Heck, I had an allergic reaction to a TB test, which is very, very rare.

It's not all that rare. I test positive for TB (long story) so I can't even get the test. It's just a chest Xray and voila.

2 National Healthcare workers have reacted adversely to the vaccine..

'Two NHS staff members who received the Pfizer/BioNTech vaccine on Tuesday – on the first day of the mass vaccination programme – suffered an allergic reaction, the NHS in England has confirmed.

Both are recovering, it is understood.

The NHS in England said all trusts involved with the vaccination programme have been informed.'

I should be getting the vaccine soon per my work. I don’t know which one yet. They are going to start testing us for COVID weekly soon too.

Meh... I think its kind of silly that this has to be said.

It's definitely weird. The article flat out says they tested it on 42k people with no issues but intentionally avoided testing people who've had issues with allergic reactions to vaccines.

I don't test positive, I break out in hives from the "prick test" but the test itself is negative, happened on two occasions.

I had to get a medical waiver at work since it is required annually, after I refused to take it again, and they didn't want to pay for the more expensive xrays annually. I told them they could fire me if they want but I wasn't going to willingly take a test that I knew caused me to have an allergic reaction, and they had failed to document it when informed and had witnessed both times it happened.

We settled in one xray test and future years me certifying I had not been exposed. Given I'm not a front line caregiver it wasn't a big deal. This year (7 years after the above) they have now dropped the test for anyone not directly involved in patient care.

It shouldn't have taken all that effort and I"m shocked your previous doctor didn't record the issue.
