Muh Muh Muh My Corona (virus)

Good news! How old is he? Mid-/late-20s? He'll probably feel good as new by Friday.

 

Prisoners have been excluded from Covid vaccine plans, and health experts are sounding the alarm

 

Prisons are awash in this stuff.

Order of priority should be:
1. Seniors
2. Health care workers
3. Homeless/inmates

This is good news if it works out, but I don’t understand how it happens. Wouldn’t every vial weigh the same/have the same volume? They mention syringes and needles. I’m not sure how that affects the dosing if there is a set amount of product in each vial and a set amount you’re supposed to pull into the syringe.

 

Also weird is that the instructions I googled (but I didn't read the summary!) call for a precise amount of diluting liquid (1.8 ml) to be added to each vial. So if the amount of active ingredient per vial is varying that much, that suggests that actual doses that have been administered (which are supposed to be 0.3 ml) are varying in concentration that much, too.

 

So the manufacturer screwed up somehow. It sounds great to have excess, but do you really want to create that? It puts the dispensers in a tough spot.

 

On the flip side, I've now seen reports from two states (Michigan and Illinois to be specific) that the next shipment of vaccine from Pfizer will be smaller than anticipated, ostensibly due to production issues.

 

I hope Mother holds Pence's hand so he won't be scared when he gets his shot.
