It was that way for me too. Sadly she’s been given the run around by the Oregon Health Authority.

Well just let me know who's lawn I need to take a crap on. You and your much better half are being screwed over.

But that's the suggested interval, right? What happens if you wait 22 days? 40 days?

Good luck to those seeking getting your second shot. My girlfriend got her first a couple weeks back. She’s still struggling to find a place to get her second. She’s got about 7 more days to find one before she’s at her 21 days post the first. She’s had no luck and most reports are telling her that she’ll be lucky to find a place in time. Absolutely ridiculous it’s going this way.

COVID-19 Vaccine Fact Sheet

Priority Populations and Vaccine Distribution
Ohio has started distributing safe, effective COVID-19 vaccines statewide to those who choose to be vaccinated.
The COVID-19 vaccine
development process included steps comparable with those used to develop previous vaccines, such as the flu or measles vaccine.
As COVID-19
vaccines progressed through the thorough process to obtain emergency use authorization (EUA) from the Food and Drug Administration (FDA),
the state began strategically and thoughtfully distributing the vaccines to Ohioans most at risk. This distribution is being guided by
recommendations from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) and the
National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine (NASEM).
Ohio’s Phased Approach
Ohio’s goals are clear: to save lives and get students back in schools. While vaccine supply is limited, Ohio will follow a phased approach to
vaccine administration. In the first vaccination phase, priority will be given to individuals at the highest risk, as well as essential healthcare workers
and personnel caring for COVID-19 patients. The speed at which Ohio will move through the phases is largely dependent upon the number of
vaccine doses available. As supply increases, COVID-19 vaccines will be available to all Ohioans who choose to be vaccinated.
• Phase 1 (Supply Limited) – Vaccine is available in limited supply and will be available only for specific critical populations. Ohio will
focus on vaccinating those most at risk, as well as essential healthcare workers and personnel caring for COVID-19 patients.
• Phase 2 (Supply Increasing) – Vaccine availability is increasing and can be offered to a larger group of specific critical populations who
choose to be vaccinated.
• Phases 3-4 (Widely Available) – Once the vaccine is widely available, Ohio will continue to strategically vaccinate Ohioans if they
choose to receive vaccine.
Phase 1A
During Phase 1A, which began December 14, 2020, priority was given to vulnerable individuals who live in close proximity and those who care for
them:
• Healthcare workers and personnel who are routinely involved in the care of COVID-19 patients.
• Residents and staff in nursing homes.
• Residents and staff in assisted living facilities.
• Patients and staff at state psychiatric hospitals.
• People with developmental disabilities and those with mental health disorders, including substance use disorders, who live in group homes,
residential facilities, or centers, and staff at those locations.
• Residents and staff at our two state-run homes for Ohio veterans.
• EMS responders.
Phase 1B
During Phase 1B, the focus will continue to offer protection to those at high risk and have K-12 students back in the classroom by March 1. This
phase will specifically include:
• Ohioans, age 65 and up.
• Ohioans with severe congenital, developmental, or early-onset, and inherited conditions including cerebral palsy; spina bifida; severe
congenital heart disease requiring hospitalization within the past year; severe type 1 diabetes requiring hospitalization within the past year;
inherited metabolic disorders including phenylketonuria; severe neurological disorders including epilepsy, hydrocephaly, and microcephaly;
severe genetic disorders including Down syndrome, fragile X syndrome, Prader-Willi syndrome, Turner syndrome, and muscular dystrophy;
severe lung disease, including asthma requiring hospitalization within the past year, and cystic fibrosis; sickle cell anemia; and alpha and
beta thalassemia; and solid organ transplant patients. If people believe they fit in this category, they should contact their local board of
developmental disabilities, which will help coordinate vaccinations.
• Adults/employees in K-12 schools that want to go back to, or to remain with, in-person or hybrid learning models.
Vaccinations in Phase 1B began the week of January 19. Governor DeWine announced a tiered system for offering vaccinations to the estimated 2.2
million people who are eligible for the vaccine under this phase, beginning with those who are 80 or older. When a new age group begins, vaccinations
may not be complete for the previous age group. It will take a number of weeks to distribute all of the vaccine given the limited doses available.
• Jan. 19, 2021 – Ohioans 80 years of age and older.
• Jan. 25, 2021 – Ohioans 75 years of age and older; those with a developmental or intellectual disability AND one of the conditions: cerebral
palsy; spina bifida; severe congenital heart disease requiring hospitalization within the past year; severe type 1 diabetes requiring
hospitalization within the past year; inherited metabolic disorders including phenylketonuria; severe neurological disorders including epilepsy,
hydrocephaly, and microcephaly; severe genetic disorders including Down syndrome, fragile X syndrome, Prader-Willi syndrome, Turner
syndrome, and muscular dystrophy; severe lung disease, including asthma requiring hospitalization within the past year, and cystic fibrosis;
sickle cell anemia; and alpha and beta thalassemia; and solid organ transplant patients. If Ohioans feel they fit into this category, and have
not been contacted about scheduling, they should follow-up with their local board of developmental disabilities.
o Local boards of developmental disabilities will reach out to those they know qualify under this eligibility category to coordinate
vaccinations. These boards will work with children’s hospitals and some local health departments on scheduling. Only those
individuals in this population that work with their local developmental disabilities board will be eligible for vaccination at this time.
o The vaccinations for Ohioans in this category will only be given at Local Health Departments or participating Children’s Hospitals in
conjunction with the local boards of developmental disabilities. Ohioans in this category should not go to their local
pharmacies for scheduling or vaccination.
• Feb. 1, 2021 – Ohioans 70 years of age and older; employees of K-12 schools that wish to remain or return to in-person or hybrid models.
• Feb. 8, 2021 – Ohioans 65 years of age and older.
• Feb. 15, 2021 – Ohioans with severe congenital, developmental, or early-onset, and inherited conditions including cerebral palsy; spina
bifida; severe congenital heart disease requiring hospitalization within the past year; severe type 1 diabetes requiring hospitalization within
the past year; inherited metabolic disorders including phenylketonuria; severe neurological disorders including epilepsy, hydrocephaly, and
microcephaly; severe genetic disorders including Down syndrome, fragile X syndrome, Prader-Willi syndrome, Turner syndrome, and
muscular dystrophy; severe lung disease, including asthma requiring hospitalization within the past year, and cystic fibrosis; sickle cell
anemia; and alpha and beta thalassemia; and solid organ transplant patients.
o Please note: Information is still forthcoming regarding those who have a qualifying congenital, early-onset, or inherited
condition (without a developmental or intellectual disability) who will begin being vaccinated on Feb. 15.
Vaccine recipients must be age 16 or older to be eligible for the Pfizer vaccine, and age 18 or older to be eligible for the Moderna vaccine.
How To Find a Vaccine Provider
Ohioans should check the websites of their local health departments and EMAs to learn more about vaccinations in their community or to sign up to
receive updates from the local health department. Groups defined by age will receive the vaccine from local health departments, hospitals, federallyqualified health centers, as well as some retail pharmacies. Providers for other audiences are yet to be announced. A statewide Vaccine Provider
Locations search is available at vaccine.coronavirus.ohio.gov, allowing Ohioans to search by county, and ZIP code to find a provider in their area to
administer the vaccine.
Future Phases
The vaccine distribution plan for future priority populations are still under development and will be shared publicly once finalized. As more information
becomes available on who can receive the vaccine and when they can receive the vaccine, we will communicate this information publicly through the
news media and share information at coronavirus.ohio.gov/vaccine.
The vaccine has been shown to prevent COVID-19 and to decrease the severity of illness in people who catch the virus that causes the disease.
Vaccinating a significant portion of Ohioans will help prevent serious hospitalizations and deaths.
Using all the tools available to help prevent the spread of the virus continues to be critical until a substantial number of Ohioans can be vaccinated.
Continuing to wear masks that cover the mouth and nose and social distance will reduce your chance of being exposed to or spreading the virus.
Proper prevention measures, coupled with the vaccine will provide the best protection from COVID-19.

I don't know anyone personally who has died from covid nor even caught it. However, we do have about two dozen people where I work at (Amazon/Euclid) who have tested positive, but no deaths there from it, thank God.

The true COVID-19 death toll of New York nursing home residents is closer to 13,000, as opposed to the 8,677 reported to date by the state Department of Health, according to the investigation's findings.

“As the pandemic and our investigations continue, it is imperative that we understand why the residents of nursing homes in New York unnecessarily suffered at such an alarming rate,” Attorney General Letitia James said in a statement.

Pretty sure we already understand how they unnecessarily suffered.... it was at the hands of the guy who was on CNN 4 times a week bragging to his brother about what a phenomenal job he was doing.

Ok just how many of you know somebody who died, or was seriously effected by covid-19? I am hoping to get a honest account from my Browns brothers.

Little scary news today. My son, who had covid in the late summer / early fall, just had to be swabbed again today because he is presenting symptoms again. Now we wait.
