Doesn’t seem to have much correlation between eligibility rules v. % vaccinated.
How’s he defining “seniors”? I confess that I’ve just been looking at this state or that, and haven’t actually graphed it at any point in time, but I’ve been looking at “75+”
(I scanned the article, and couldn’t find where he defined “seniors”, I may have just missed it. Gotta run out and care for a senior…)
Those graphs would be helpful of the axes were defined. Simple “%” on the Y would improve the understanding by 70.
I won’t know how I will feel until I’m fully vaccinated. Through the pandemic I haven’t eaten at restaurants except for 2 outdoor dining experiences. I’m low risk, but I’ve kept my shopping to curbside pickup as best I could. It will be weird adventuring out, and I think I’ll continue to wear a mask. I think the main thing I plan on doing is more outdoor dining.
That said, I am a full believer in the vaccine and have a feeling that I will become more lax quickly post-vaccination. I mean that’s the end goal right? To get back to normal (while making sure we learn from this and don’t make similar mistakes).
Yeah, I should fix up those graphs.
Is the graph of seniors based on first dose or completed regimen?
It appears he is using data from CDC COVID Data Tracker
middle of page Data Table for COVID 19 vaccinations…
Field Percent of 65+ Pop with at least One Dose by State of Residence
so first dose.

And over 65, not over 75.
Johnson & Johnson last week. Ready to party.

aren’t you supposed to wait 2 weeks for it to kick in before licking door knobs or something?

I figure, as long as the antibodies have a good headstart, I’m willing to take some risks. Maybe start by licking windows, and work my way up.
I get my 2nd jab on 4/19, so I’ll be relaxing my current restrictions come early May.
My sister and her husband are planning a party for late May. Hopefully guests that come will be vaccinated.
Dude. Licking doorknobs was unsafe pre-covid. There’s no vaccine for that.
really? someone should have told me this before i licked all those doorknobs.
Just got Pfizer shot #1 which has shown to be 80% effective after two weeks. I’ll show up for shot #2 but I’ll be pretty open to doing most things (no crowd) mid April.

I thought it was 2 weeks for Pfizer and Moderna, and 4 weeks for J&J before you’re considered to have full protection.
You have some protection before then – just not full protection.
I’m approaching two weeks since my first dose. It’s my understanding that my risk of getting serious COVID is now pretty low…but I’m still maintaining isolation for my wife’s sake (she’s high risk for various health issues), because I don’t want to contract COVID and screw up my appointment for my second dose…and because I’m an asocial git, and COVID isolation hasn’t been too much different from normal life (aside from a lack of travel).

oh, is it 4 weeks for J&J? I thought it was also 2 weeks.
Edit - oh, you’re right per the googles -
" How long does it take for protection to kick in?
With all three vaccines, immunity builds over a few weeks after immunization. Data from Johnson & Johnson show that most vaccinated trial participants had a robust immune response 15 days after getting the shot, with significant protection reached by day 29."
Just had a 5-hour drinkfest with some buds, so pardon my typo’s.
I’m not vaccinated the but they were.
