CT is doing really well with the vaccine. I believe we have the 3rd highest state vaccination rate now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

weatherwiz Posted April 6, 2021 Share Posted April 6, 2021 Got mine at Waterbury Health Center. Process really couldn't have been easier. As soon as I neared the parking garage there was signs directing where to park and signs within the parking garage of where to park. Then they had signs leading into the facility and it was all set up for perfect social distancing. Walked right in, gave them my license, then they directed me where to go. It was a pretty large clinic with at least 15-20 vaccine stations. Waited maybe one minute then they told me which station to go to, they reviewed information and asked a few questions then boom...shot done. Didn't even feel a thing. Went to the next station where they scheduled the second shot and then went into the observation room for 15-minutes and was on my merry way. Biggest stressor was nearly running out of gas...forgot to get gas the other day and while I had enough to get from Windsor Locks to Waterbury, I certainly didn't have enough to get back home...or very far. Made it to a gas station with 7 or 8 miles on the range 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Made it to a gas station with 7 or 8 miles on the range When running out of gas is a bigger worry than the "deadly virus"... a sure sign of a serious pandemic, for sure. 1 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PhineasC Posted April 6, 2021 Share Posted April 6, 2021 So many disingenuous and sarcastic arguments have been tossed out there lately... "Your phone spies on you and you don't care!" "You already need a vaccine passport to travel (to parts of Africa)!" "(Some) schools already require proof of vaccines (e.g., MMR)!" I feel like people are just purposely dodging the real concern because deep-down the precedence it sets bothers them too. Whatever. Can people please be honest and acknowledge it isn't "standard practice" in this country to need to show proof of vaccination and health status to walk into a store or attend a baseball game? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not to wade into this garbage too much, but there has been zero substantive discussion from actual policy makers (on a federal level anyway). What I've seen is from talking heads, the very online, or private entities. Like I really don't see this as an actual threat, but rather something for people to argue about. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tamarack Posted April 6, 2021 Share Posted April 6, 2021 IMO, the vaccine passport potentially becomes problematic when it's used to tell us where we can and cannot go - depending on the breadth of the no-go places. Edit: As noted right above, no one with real authority is moving to a broad-based V.P. requirement - yet. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s being implemented in Europe. I think 2020 has shown us these conspiracy theories come true sometimes now... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
