Local Covid Report

The vaccination rate in my county is quite high, but the
infection rate is too. Higher than at any time in the pandemic
so far. I wish I knew which vaccinations are involved. I got the
Pfizer and the booster, but I'm living more cautiously than
ever. I am so ready for this to be over.

I've been feeling encouraged recently, our two schools have had
zero cases the past couple of weeks and one is elementary so
only the teachers are vaccinated. I hope this trend spreads your
way.
I wish the FDA would get off their keisters and approve the
Pfizer shot for kids.
That is great news about getting a booster. I hope it keeps you
safe.

Its been the same here. High rates of both. I couldn't agree
more with wanting it to be over.

The vaccination rate is still 45% in my state.
We're coming down a little as far as cases but our ICUs are in
the 90%+ range.
I got my Pfizer booster with a slightly higher reaction.
I felt euphoric after my 2nd shot.
Not so much this time...maybe because we're going into winter
and I have no idea what to expect.

Hang in there mojo! It is scary out there. I hope this wave
passes soon in your area.
The same thing happened here. By last week's report, my county
now has just under 63% of those eligible completely vaccinated.
The most recent wave seems to have crested about 10 days ago.
We get decent data from the county and state. Most of those
hospitalized and all but 1 death were unvaccinated people or
they only had 1 dose of either of the 2 dose vaccines. The
vaccinated person who died was in their 90s and high risk. Most
people here went to vaccination clinics run by the country and
most were given Moderna (I think about 75%). Early on Moderna
was all we could get here. For every 1 person with a vaccine
who was hospitalized late August through mid September there
were at least twice as many unvaccinated (usually more than
twice the number). This year was the worst peak by the numbers
of hospitalizations and deaths, but only just (so far).
November 2020 really sucked here too, but those who perished
last year skewed heavily toward older people. This time younger
people died. The youngest I saw was in their mid 20s. The
other change I see over last year is fewer people being infected
from workplace super spreading events. I assume that is a
vaccination effect. It seems like our higher vaccination rate
helped us squeak by as far as ICU bed availability. I am still
worried about winter but I hope it will be better than last
year.

The Moderna vaccine is most effective at reducing one's risk of
getting Covid, but it's also the one most likely to cause side
effects. I am interested to see the results of the study
following people who got one dose of one vaccine, and one dose
of another. There's some speculation that it might offer better
protection to mix and match in this way, so I'm not getting a
booster Pfizer shot yet, though I'm eligible for it (due to my
moderately severe asthma).
The thing is, Covid has grown better at spreading through the
air, so even if you're fully vaccinated and boostered, you're
more likely to come down with it than you were several months
ago, unless you're living like a hermit (not that there's
anything wrong with that, mind you). But your chances of landing
in the hospital with it are still quite small. And your chances
of not getting it at all go up if you're living in an area where
most people are vaccinated, too.
I totally agree, though: I can't wait till Covid is not the main
thing on our minds!

A third of our hospital cases are people who are fully
vaccinated.
I'm worried about winter too, because I doubt very much if
people are going to be careful around holiday festivities.
Probably even less than last year.
I'm hoping for a respite in the spring. I'm not as scared
anymore, but I sure wish this was over.
