Many countries have now started rolling out the vaccines. Some countries have started it with Senior citizens. In our country it is being started with health workers first, then the cops and defence services, later those above 50 and then they will decide on the fourth group. How many of you have already taken the vaccine?

@jstory07 Our country is starting with health workers, then the essential services and then the older people.

@mayka123 They are doing all of the Doctors, nurses, and first responders first. Than the teachers in the schools and people in nursing homes. All people that are over 70and no one in good health. So that leaves us out.

I do not want the Pfizer vaccine, for the moment only Elders in nursing homes have been vaccinated here.

@mayka123 For the moment only the Pfizer vaccine is available, but soon we are also going to get the Oxford-Moderna.

We have not taken it as yet. There is a lengthy procedure. Kinda, first the vaccines have to arrive. There has to be software that monitors administration payment dates priorities etc., as there are many variables. Trained personnel, disposable syringes, age of patient, profession of the patient, 1st dosage, which vaccine to be administered, on which date, KYC, whether intimated, booster dosage to be administered on or before, availability of vaccines, re-order, storage, transport, etc. Right now software is being developed. We are short of disposable syringes as well as personnel who would be trained to administer it. This is unusual virus. It requires careful handling. So yeah, training is essential.

They are so messed up here in the USA that most old people probably won't get the vaccine until February or March!

It's not available here in my country as they're still on negotiations to the manufacturers. That is good to hear that yours has not started in giving it out.
