I work in radiology in a Philadelphia hospital. Last week they announced that they are expecting to start administering a vaccine in December. Of course this assumes that they will be FDA approved at the Dec 10 meeting. Initially I was shocked that the hospital is not requiring it like they do for the flu shot. After chatting with our docs they feel it's good to make it voluntary since it hasn't had long term studies done. IIRC, NJ announced that priority will be first given to HCWs, then first responders, then essential workers. This would cover dh and ds23 who are both essential. Ds20 will likely be in with the general population unless factory workers are given any priority. I will be very relieved when my father gets it.
Anyway, this is such great news. I am almost crying with relief that this nightmare might soon have an end in sight.
For now all we can do is hope and pray the FDA has all the evidence they need to give approval.
We already moved our Feb WBPC cruise to 2022 and I don't plan to move it back but we still have a 4 nt quickie booked for May. There is a chance this might happen!
I soooo need a day at CC.
I'm sure the FDA is under IMMENSE political pressure to approve ASAP.
