The reports of clotting (such as they are) only apply to AZ being used in Europe.

The Moderna vaccine should be 4 weeks (slightly longer okay) between doses.

More good news, 2+ weeks from second dose infection is close to unheard of. Also those that did recovered quickly without hospitalization. No deaths.

Got'r done. That was the easiest chore I've had to do. I was told while I have an appointment, I could have come anytime from the start of the day until the end of the day. I got through an hour early. Wasn't overrun and they were ready for a larger crowd. My wife's employer is telling her that as of the 25th the vaccine is open to everyone in Georgia.

Turned out not to be that one. It was the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine, which is a comeback in three weeks. She said a month ago they were administering the Morderna.

Glad you were able to get it. It's not hard to get the vaccine in Georgia. The hard part is knowing how to sign up to get the shot. But everyone I know who wanted the vaccine shot have gotten it now. There are couple people I know like my older aunt and uncle who declined to get the shot because their church pastor brainwashed them into thinking the vaccine is the mark of the devil. And my brother-in-law declined as well even though the hospital he works at offered him Pfizer vaccine really early on. He's a big Trumpster.

Ex-gf of mine that moved back to Austin booked her appointment for her first shot now that it's open to general pop in Texas. Unfortunately she has to drive 2.5 hours to get it deep into Trump country, which is where people don't want the shots. By her, everyone wants them.
Not sure how it is in other states - but where I'm at in Texas they seem practically desperate. I'm getting alerts on my cell-phone from the likes of where there is an emergency (e.g. Tornado warnings, AMBER alerts, etc...) where it basically says "WE HAVE VACCINES, PLEASE COME ASAP. ANYONE, EVERYONE!" lol.
I have plenty of coworkers across the states and in places like north-east where that definitely isn't the case.

Friends in Louisiana are saying all adults (over 16 years old) can take the vaccines next week.

Texas distributes more shots per capita to rural/small town Texas than to urban Texas where there is still huge unmet demand. Lots of people are driving 3 or more hours for vaccinations.

I posted in the other thread but I’ll say it here too.
Second Moderna dose really kicked my ass. Felt very sore and sick for 24 hours. Spent most of Wednesday napping on the couch.
I recommend taking that day off from work.
I am all good now but no way was I doing anything productive yesterday.
I will gladly do it again if needed.

It's a bit silly. I looked at the numbers by state yesterday, Texas is in the bottom 5 for percentage of residents vaccinated, at around 11%, but people of any age can get them. Texas is also in the bottom 6 of percentage of distributed vaccines administered. Jersey is doing better in both categories, but it's much harder to get an appointment, and it's not close to being open to general pop. Frustrating
Wut? I haven't heard that in the slightest. I live on the outer suburbs of Houston and had no problem getting them at a hospital 10 minutes down the road.

Definition of ANECDOTAL
based on or consisting of reports or observations of usually unscientific observers; of, relating to, or consisting of anecdotes; given to or skilled in telling anecdotes : anecdotic… See the full definition
www.merriam-webster.com
Whatever Texas is doing, it's in the bottom 10 states for all the main vaccine distribution and shots in arms numbers. And my friend in Austin and the people she knows all have to drive over 2 hours for their first shot. Also anecdotal. But the statistics:
States ranked by percentage of population fully vaccinated
Vermont has the highest percentage of its population fully vaccinated against COVID-19, according to the CDC's COVID-19 vaccine distribution and administration data tracker.
States ranked by percentage of COVID-19 vaccines administered: Nov. 30
Wisconsin has administered the highest percentage of COVID-19 vaccines it has received, according to the CDC's COVID-19 vaccine distribution and administration data tracker.

Great to think about, but their numbers are not accurate for Covid. It is up to 123,000 viruses from a cough of someone with a high viral load:
Modeling the load of SARS-CoV-2 virus in human expelled particles during coughing and speaking
Particle size is an essential factor when considering the fate and transport of virus-containing droplets expelled by human, because it determines the deposition pattern in the human respiratory system and the evolution of droplets by evaporation and gravitational settling. However, the...
Since you need roughly 1000 Covid virions to get sick, you'd have to breathe in ~250 highly loaded coughs in a short period of time to get sick. (Or, wear it wrong and get sick.)

Most people I know who have gotten vaccinated had to go out of town. Some quite far out of town.

I LIKE the way you think!
Seriously the last person I told I my age that was looking at me was shocked ... and NO not because they thought I was 97!
People who can see me usually guess mid-40's.
Why am I not surprised at all by this?
