Yeah, I forget where the directive came from. Somewhere in the state. Then it was reversed, then reversed again, it was a huge back and forth. I’m curious if any school has actually tried to force a child to go to remote. A district has an obligation to educate a child. Making a medical test on a minor without a parent present a condition of education is a legal nightmare. I would be shocked if any district actually tried it. We got the necessary number at our district but parents absolutely opted out. I think once our district hit the minimum they kept it pushing. There were some that did, actually. I do not know what the final result of it was after parents pushed back on it. The district has to provide education to children. It does not have to be in person instruction. Yeah, I’m guessing the lawyers said that remote is a reasonable accommodation. Which we learned this year, it truly isn’t. I have a few friends from law school that do educational law. I’m going to ask them what happened with it. It just seems like such a nightmare to bar kids from school over Covid tests when there’s been such a problem educating children the past year.

Yay! Are you going to Javits? You can tell me to mind my business. I volunteered today and we had 600 no-shows. 600. All NYErs, make your appointments! 600 no shows?? Damn. I wonder if people made an appointment then found a sooner one and never canceled. I'm going to the Aquaduct Racetrack in Queens. Were you guys able to take walk ins or advertise that you have extra shots? So even with the no-shows, we did our highest number of shots to date. So we weren’t able to advertise extra shots bc it was so busy, but it’s a mass vax site. So they will just open up extra appts later in the week. People are getting appts now and just not cancelling old appts. Also, we are so short on volunteers. We were operating with half the number of normal volunteers because people got vaxxed and peaced out. So we’re doing the highest amounts of shots ever with the least amount of volunteers. I’ll be there pretty much every day this week because my Catholic guilt insists upon it.

Why are people no showing???? I think we’re flush with shots. So people are getting the opportunity to get vaxxed before their appt and just not cancelling.

Why are people no showing???? DC was having this issue too. I’m not really sure why it was happening, but they opened it up to everyone early because there were a lot of no shows or appts weren’t being booked.

You guys.
DD is going back to school next week. First time she will enter the building in 13 months.
I’m between tears of joy, anger for the kids who still have to stay remote even when then want to come back, and fear that somehow it will fall apart.
I need a drink.

Some of the nurses at our site say don’t take NSAIDs after the vax. Which who knows how true that is but out of an abundance of caution, I didn’t. Tylenol for cramps is some bullshit.

When I got mine, I had booked it, gah, 40 or so minutes prior to the time slot. I had 2 other appointments scheduled as well, one at the same site. The woman checking me in saw the other appointment for that location, said she’d cancel it, but it wasn’t.. I still got the reminder notice the day prior. I manually canceled it then, but I can easily see people not realizing they needed to go back and cancel it Or ending up with two second vaccine appointments and not fixing it... that also happened to me and was fun to fix 😅

I can totally see how it would be difficult to cancel it. Let alone that a large number of NYers are not computer-savvy or even have access to a computer.

So MH and I were both told no NSAIDs when we got our shot at Javits. Since I heard it so much recently (from MH after his shot, at the site I volunteer at), I asked why. The nurse said there’s studies coming out saying NSAIDs may weaken the antibody response. I just googled and this popped up. So I guess it’s being studied. www.verywellhealth.com/pain-reliever-covid-19-vaccine-5111319

I had one scheduled the end of this month for a state site, but my SIL texted me about the county site and I got in there last week. I did cancel my other appointment though.

We have been so super lucky but my kid's school has moved to virtual for two days (at least, probably longer) while they contact trace an outbreak.

cmb that’s great news but do we have enough Pfizer to do that? Like will they end up not having enough for 2nd doses?

They will likely redistribute- the fema site near me has tons of pfizer open appointments from this week’s allotment and so do other state sites. I don’t think 2nd doses will be an issue for those going today. That said, cuomo said it was only for today’s appointments. I do not know if there is enough to continue this plan

Ugh my FIL is/was scheduled for j&j tomorrow at the fairgrounds. If they switch it to Pfizer it’s going to throw our plan to visit in 2 weeks for a loop. ETA nevermind I see that’s definitely happening

First dose in. Waiting the 15 minutes. These mass vax sites are so efficient
