I agree the vaccine roll is not working very well I was told that wise county (and it was from a unofficial source) only got 300 does for January if that’s true it will take years to get this one not months.

We held a mass vaccination event in Gatesville on Saturday. Approximately 700 doses of the Pfizer vaccine were administered. Average time spent in line from start to finish was 24 minutes, 15 of which was the mandatory observation period after administration. No severe reactions. Everyone was very congenial and I can truly say that I've never heard as many sincere Thank Yous in my entire life. It was a long day that started with the set up at 6:00 am and finished with the take down at 5:15 pm, but I'm ready to do it again and as many times as needed. It was one of the most rewarding days of my life. The first cars in line right after we opened.

It was one of the most rewarding days of my life. The first cars in line right after we opened. Just curious Doc, how was the Pfizer stored at -94F during this event? Regarding the handling of Pfizer: " The vaccine's complex and super-cold storage requirements are an obstacle for even the most sophisticated hospitals in the United States and may impact when and where it is available in rural areas or poor countries where resources are tight. The main issue is that the vaccine, which is based on a novel technology that uses synthetic mRNA to activate the immune system against the virus, needs to be kept at minus 70 degrees Celsius (-94 F) or below. "The cold chain is going to be one of the most challenging aspects of delivery of this vaccination," said Amesh Adalja, senior scholar at Johns Hopkins Center for Health Security. "This will be a challenge in all settings because hospitals even in big cities do not have storage facilities for a vaccine at that ultra-low temperature."

They aren't injecting the vaccine into your body when it's -94°... it's brought to room temperature first. https://www.cdc.gov/vaccines/covid-19/info-by-product/pfizer/index.html

Oh? Gee I thought they rammed the frozen liquid in. Not what I was asking. How do they store it and what is the shelf life after coming up to ambient temperature? How long has it been sitting around at +66 °F and if you are among the last persons that day to get the shot, a saline placebo is what you get.

My younger brother lives in Crane, Texas pop.3,300 give or take. They have already given 2,800 shots as of Saturday When the vaccine event shut down. They had 3 separate events 900, 1,000 and 900. He got his Saturday morning. His wife is the Justice of Peace there so I have no reason to doubt the numbers. Now I live in Graham, Texas and at last word we had only received 200 doses here. Olney which is also in Young County Had received some also but I don’t know the number. Our United Pharmacy is scheduled to receive some but as of Friday it had not happened.

It can be kept at room temperature for up to 2 hours before it has to be mixed... once mixed it has up to 6 hours before it has to be injected, according to that link.

Yeah, that's what I thought. I'm out on the Pfizer because of its handling requirements and effectivity. You could be wasting your time with it, making it nothing more than a government checkbox.

as Machinist said they had 6 lanes of drive thru shots in Crane. My wife is from Rankin and her friends got their shots. I was afraid to drive 3.5 hours and be turned away!

There is no vaccine for 1B folks in Gonzales County and our senator that is on the health committee says there won't be any vaccine in Gonzales County because we are too small.?????? But they are sending it to Lavaca County which is half the population of Gonzales County. Go figure. We are told to go to San Antonio and get the shot at one of the hubs there. I have tried to register for a shot and get nothing but "registration full".

here is a link to a bombshell article talking about how the CDC is manipulating the death numbers , we are being lied to , manipulated , controlled . Is COVID serious = yes , but even the CDC in this article admits that ONLY 10,000 people in the US have died --- just from COVID . I have said many times ---- the only way really know how bad COVID is --- go back and check the death rates for the last several years of the top 10 causes of deaths , then in 2020 , look at how many of those went down and COVID took the number one slot . https://redstate.com/michael_thau/2...0-fold-also-violated-federal-law-n316048

BillS2006 it is the same in San Saba County. Small Pharmacy and not much in the way of a Health Dept so nothing gets done with the Covid Vaccine. And timing was bad because Baylor Scott and White Clinic was being moved so........

Well thanks T Bird and LoneStar Son - i got my first dose today in Rankin at the Hospital Drive thru shot clinic. Left the house at 4AM for a long day of driving but the line with 2 lanes and the shot were painless. They had 500 doses so not sure how long it lasted. So much easier than standing in line and being exposed. 2nd dose in February so another long day of driving.
