MJIG Posted December 23, 2020 Report Share Posted December 23, 2020 (edited) That puts two products into the vaccine arsenal now, as well as two supply chain pipelines. The Moderna one doesn’t require the drastic extreme cold storage that the Pfizer one does, so it may be easier to get to more places.

DRIFTER_016 Posted December 23, 2020 Report Share Posted December 23, 2020 This is the one we're getting in the NWT. I don't know why we're not getting the other one as it could just be stored on the porch. The Moderna one will need to be brought inside to keep it warm!!!! 😜 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AKRISONER Posted December 23, 2020 Report Share Posted December 23, 2020 (edited) great news...the light at the end of this friggin tunnel just got a bit brighter. Really great results so far, very limited negative news so far aside from people experiencing allergic reactions to PEG in very small numbers. Unfortunate news for people that have severe allergies, hopefully everyone does their part though and gets vaccinated to protect those that cant get the vaccine due to allergies.

Moosebunk Posted December 24, 2020 Report Share Posted December 24, 2020 I'll begin vaccinating those who choose to receive Moderna next month. It should be interesting, there may just be the opportunity to vaccinate Canada's entire most northern community, myself. Being that individuals can accept or decline, I'll respect anyone's choice when I offer it. Hopefully, people are beyond Facebook educated by then and best able to control their opinions and just respectfully take the shot in the arm, or not. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aplumma Posted December 28, 2020 Report Share Posted December 28, 2020 Do not argue in this thread or it will be locked and people modQed Thank you Art 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ketchenany Posted December 29, 2020 Report Share Posted December 29, 2020 NO arguments needed, I agree with you. My first time that I have answered to your post. Sorry, Apluma but we are bombarded with opinions from both sides. We are doing a lot better up here and hope to keep it that way. Everyone of us as an opinion, that is a democratic right for us all. My family follows what we are expected to do and will follow what our leaders say. So far we have not been affected by following the rules. My hope is that this will come to an end and we can all work together no matter what are political beliefs are. “It is about survival”, and for me seeing my children survive and their children. Keep well. This not may go over well but then democracy is what our parents fought for. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aplumma Posted December 29, 2020 Report Share Posted December 29, 2020 Everyone is entitled to have an opinion no matter what it is. The issue is when people do not accept other opinions as being valid is where the problem lies. People seem to want to argue about their opinions backed up by what they read and feel all other ones are wrong. If someone disagrees with an opinion that is o.k. just leave it as "we will have a difference of opinions and move on." I haven't the time or energy to referee adults on how to respect other views. It is easier for me to be the bad guy and lock the thread and put the offenders in modQ which I hate doing to adults.

cisco Posted December 30, 2020 Report Share Posted December 30, 2020 More vaccine choices the better IMO. We can all better decide based on side effect issues which may arise. I hope little to none, but we should keep ears to the ground. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our local paper is saying 80% of nursing home residents are accepting the vaccine, but only 60% of nursing home employees are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave524 Posted December 31, 2020 Report Share Posted December 31, 2020 Reading that they are considering using it as a single dose given that it is 80% effective as a single dose and 95 % effective as a 2 dose. Long time since I studied statistics , would twice the people with 80% immunity be better than half as many with 95 % ? Also, though they really didn't have enough time to study it would the immunity last as long ? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Considering that vaccine requires two injections several weeks apart, I think I can wait for a slower release. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
