A question for the Global Warming regulars: When will you be able to get vaccinated for COVID-19?

My doctor would sometimes tell me to get the flu shot, not to keep me from getting the flu but to keep me from dying from it.  I suspect the Covid vaccine will probably also provide some partial immunity to most of those 5% that caught it even after being vaccinated.  I will get mine at the first opportunity.  People at my work tended to want to wait maybe to see if it was safe.  Not me, I got my flu shot a couple months ago and I will get the WuFlu Vaccine at the first opportunity and hopefully within a couple of months.  I have seen reports where our racists leaders were considering using race to determine who gets vaccinated.  When you have governors like Gavin Newsome in charge, there is no way I could predict when I will get my vaccines.  They were also considering putting prison inmates in front of the elderly.  

I’m not sure what global warming has to do with the corona virus . I am not getting the vaccine though and I never had a flu shot before . why is that necessary?  people should not be forced to get it based on their Job or getting benefits or anything . probly in a communist country then they’d make everyone get but this is not a communist country and we have the right to refuse stupid shots 

I am one of the few that can not take any type of flu shot because of what they use as a carrier, and they are using the same carrier in the cov-19 shot.  Plus some people that have had cov old strain have contracted the new strain, so will the shots protect for that or not. They think so; but do they know enough to come up with that conquition?  Me no think so!

FSM here.

I expect I will be able to get vaccinated some time this summer and will take it as soon as it becomes available to me.  In the mean time we can continue to work from home. There are others who are at far greater risks and should get it before me.

Best wishes for 2021 all.

It varies a bit by state bur generally, the health care workers get inoculated first along with people in long-term facilities. First responders may be in the second rank and "essential" workers, whatever that means. Us old farts who are in good health otherwise come next, so I expect to be getting mine in the first couple of months of 2021. After us, the general population, probably in the spring or early summer. Your state may be different.

To some extent, I'm glad to wait. That increases my opportunity to get the Moderna vaccine, which was 100% effective in the trials when given to senior citizens.

In my state, I'm currently included on the schedule for late January.

I'm a healthcare worker, but not "front-line."  Which puts me in the early part of phase 2.

My sister in law (a nurse) and my niece (a doctor) got theirs already.  My mother, who's in a long-term care facility, is getting hers this week.

Still a lot of uncertainty but, assuming the "Oxford" vaccine rolls out in early January as expected, then I would expect to have the first jab in February.  (I'm In my early 60's).  My mother, (in her 90's) had her first jab on the 19th and is due to have the second on January 9th.

The uncertainty is over any change in the priority of the different groups; also the speed with which the vaccines can be given.  With case numbers increasing rapidly, it is possible that vaccination resources may have to be diverted back to caring for the sick.

I don't think anybody knows for sure, but right now it's supposed to be relatively early, in the second round.  That's because I teach a university.  There's some debate about this, though, because the CDC is recommending priority for primary and secondary school teachers, but not college level, so things could change.
