The source did not provide the exact efficacy of the vaccine against the variant. They said the full results of the study should be released soon, possibly in March.

An Oxford study of the Oxford-AstraZeneca vaccine might have more credibility if they hadn’t backpedaled on their commitment to not commercialize it.

The husband got his first vaccine today. We went thru minor hell trying to find out how to get him an appointment (Ohio has some great and some far less than great coronavirus pages), and finally threw up our hands and just registered on our county health department’s page. 3 weeks later, he got a call and an appointment for 2 days later.
I’m signed up as of yesterday. We’ll see what happens, as the site said they were trying to get vaccine doses as the state is out. Or maybe just the county is out. Ohio has each county and some cities each doing there own version of distribution.

We have county, city, university all doing separate vaccinations. Apparently Gila county has opened up vaccination to everyone over 18!

I’m not sure if it this wasn’t already posted here, but the brazilian army did exactly the same thing last year.

Young person with long COVID after mild disease

Published:March 03, 2021

Shannon is looking forward to something like normal life returning for her. “I just want my quality of life back, I want to be back at work, and feel like myself again. But for now, I’m having to deal with a whole load of physical symptoms and also my brain not working properly. Even for this interview, I had to write myself a list of key things so I didn’t forget them. Just to be able to climb stairs and not be out of breath, that would be wonderful. But for now, my partner, who has been so supportive, is helping me do pretty much everything. When I’m completely out of energy, he’s even carried me up the stairs to bed!”

At least he got the first dose. Otherwise, it would feed suspicion.

A donkey almost ends the vaccination campaign.

A donkey was minding its business on an airfield in Bahia when an airplane carrying hundreds of doses of the vaccine hit the ass. The aircraft suffered some damage, but the immunizers were not damaged. The pilot was also unhurt in the accident; another aircraft was sent to resume the transport of vaccines.

The poor animal was injured and ran away.
