yep...people are genuinely trying to prevent folks from getting sick and possibly dying...and it's turned into a f'n civil war.

I think the previous mandate in 12+ will make the decision a bit more streamlined, but yeah it's still a bit away at least.  Just a frustrating conversation to have over and over again.  It's like arguing in CVON but you have to be nice.

During the george floyd protests, I kept saying to my wife, "there's never been a worse time to be a cop. They have to deal with ish daily now, it seems."

I'm starting to feel like it's that way with doctors now. We should be heralding you and others in your field as F'ing heroes after the last 19 moths, but instead a mentally ill segment of our population think you're trying to hurt them and their kids, and some have resorted to actual violence because of their delusions.

Anybody see this crazy story? A man murdered his brother, who was a pharmacist, his sister-in-law and another woman. Because is brother was administering COVID vaccines and he wanted to confront him about it.

No way, I mean, I am totally shocked.

@Mike31mt On a scale from 1 to pikachu face, how shocked are you that your Uncle Jeff took matters into his owns hands like this?

edit: nvm, he was only fleeing to WV. Dont care though, can't let a good WV joke go to waste.

That was the old recommendation, but now it's OK to get them sooner.  Even same day.

Coadministration of COVID-19 vaccines with other vaccines

Studies to assess the safety and immunogenicity of coadministration of COVID-19 vaccines with other vaccines are underway or in development. As detailed in general best practices, extensive research on the simultaneous administration of the most widely used live and inactivated vaccines has demonstrated seroconversion rates and rates for adverse reactions similar to those observed when the vaccines are administered separately.

COVID-19 vaccines may be administered without regard to timing of other vaccines. This includes simultaneous administration of COVID-19 vaccine and other vaccines on the same day. It is not known if the reactogenicity of COVID-19 vaccines is increased with coadministration, including with other vaccines known to be more reactogenic, such as adjuvanted vaccines. When deciding whether to administer an(other) vaccine(s) with a COVID-19 vaccine, vaccination providers should consider whether the patient is behind or at risk of becoming behind on recommended vaccines, their risk of vaccine-preventable disease (e.g., during an outbreak or occupational exposures), and the reactogenicity profile of the vaccines.

Ironic considering it's exclusively ishlibs who routinely wish death on their fellow countrymen in here. :lol:

It's been a **** time between misinformation, aggressive PPE protocols, angry patients, keeping up with recommendations, nursing shortages, etc etc.  Just exhausting.  The burnout is real. Much worse for docs/nurses/techs in critical care settings though so can't complain too much. 

Did just up my Celexa dose though.

yeah...the same doctors they've trusted their entire lives to help them with any illnesses they've suffered, the births of their children, etc. are suddenly in on some deep state conspiracy to implant microchips to help establish control for the government.  :wacko:

I can't even imagine how frustrating it must be. You probably get it from both sides when it comes to parents too, those like me who are tired of waiting, and then the nutbags who think you're killing babies at the behest of Soros.

Off-topic question: for administering vaccine doses, does someone in the office or pharmacy have to measure and draw the right amount out of the vial into the needle, or are the needles premeasured so that you just draw back from the vial until the plunger stops? Asking because I'm curious if new needles/vials will have to be distributed if this EUA for the 10ug dose gets approved, or if they can just use whatever they have on hand already and hit the ground running.

You can thank the dedicated WV State Police (my brother is one) for bringing him to justice.

He was probably easy to spot since he was the only middle-aged male in the state with teeth numbering in the double digits.

I wanna say they have to draw it out. I remember a story when the vaccine first started to be administered about how the vials are supposed to hold 5 doses. But some viles were slightly overfilled and actually held 6 doses, but they were not allowed to use the extra. Things could have changed since though.

Yeah some were able to draw out that extra dose in the vial if they had graduated needles. Just wasnt sure if that needle was still topped out at the right volume already, or if they were using something that could draw out more than the actual dose.

Why would he go to West Virginia ??  Oh, that's right, to hide out with the rest of the anti vax wackadoo's.

Oh come on, that was the perfect resuscitation. Paramedics everywhere gave it two thumbs up.

@DEagle7 I think you had previously asked about boosters for Moderna recipients, looks like VRBPAC is meeting on the 14th to discuss boosters for Moderna and J&J, and then hearing a presentation from NIH on mix-and-match on the 15th. Meeting for Pfizer's pediatric EUA isn't until Oct 26.

Does this mean that approval for 5-11 year olds could come Oct 26 or within a few days thereafter if everything looks good with the data?

I'm actually not positive, we haven't been offering it in our office yet because of storage limitations.  I think they have to draw out the dose though.
