Corona - what does help you? Your fears, thoughts, everything
CellarDweller:
I'm not sure how they are deciding who can get vaccines in NJ. My parents are 82 and 77, so they should be able to get them soon.
My younger brother Mike got his first already, but he's a police officer and a first responder, so he was early on the list.
My family has been told that we have to wait until April to get the vaccines, as we all had covid recently, and need to wait 90 days before we get the vaccine.

They expect the Pfizer vaccine to receive approval this week. Australia approved it last week. However they do not expect to receive any supplies until late March and front line workers will get it first so, even though I am over 75, I will probably not get it until June.
Front-Ranger:
The New York Times reports that about 40% of US military turned down the vaccine when offered it and about 60% of nursing home residents in one state. Unbelievable!
I'm concerned about increased random violence that crime fighters say is related to the pandemic fatigue, isolation, additional regulation, social disruption, and economic strife. Things like domestic and neighbor disputes escalating into violence, road rage, and the like. Is this a problem in other countries? :'(
CellarDweller:
I can't imagine all of those people refusing the vaccine.

All I can say is 'No'
The first vaccinations are being given out in NZ today (actually yesterday to vaccinators themselves) to frontline border staff and their families. There are some reports of reluctance in Maori and Pasifika communities due to their poor experience with health providers in the past.
Our severe lockdown only lasted 7 weeks and finished last June. There was a 3 day lockdown last week in Auckland due to 3 cases that grew to 7 and there are still some restrictions there.
