26 counties reached 2m shots delivered today.
They'll be able to crank up the pace further depending on the J&J and AZ age rules.
If at first you don't succeed, then goto Plan B

Got my first (Moderna) dose last week. Area around the injection was very sore for about 36 hours or so. Apart from that, I was good.

Roll out and impact it's shown here, UK and round the world shows how important it is.

Mind boggles that people still don't want to take it.

Got my Pfizer 2 the other day. Bit of an arm ache but nothing else. Had a slight sore head this morning but that probably wasn't related.

Just got my teenagers (U16) scheduled for their first shot on Saturday.

My wife an I got the J&J a months ago with no side effects

SIL had a bad reaction to her second shot of Pfizer

I work for a large institution in NY. They're mandating everyone be vaccinated by Sept 1st. Only exceptions are religious and medical ones authorized by the state.

Religious ones are blx as any can decalre their relgon is anti vax. Love thy neighbour and all that. If your religon required you to be nudist would that be exempted also?
There will medical cases and it for these people's benefit that the rest of us have to jabbed.

At least with our HR, anyone pleading a religious exemption will have to prove their case is genuine.

Cuomo got rid of the religious exemption for skipping vaccinations of kids in schools and childcare facilities a couple of years ago (in response to measles rampaging through some Jewish sects, in particular). Apparently the appeals have failed so far.

Almost 290,000 done in the last 7 days in the 26 counties, or more than 7% of the adult population. They can probably crank this up a bit more in June, so the summer will see people done and they can start doing the teenagers by September.

So UK govt saying one dose of a vaccination is only 33% effective against the Indian variant.

Which dose, AZ or Phizer? I think they mentioned 2 doses will work better. I'd expect there'll be a rush to speed up the second dose
None of us are getting out of here alive, so please stop treating yourself like an after thought. Ea

Both, they also have said that 2 doses are "highly effective".

Jeepers Creepers

Double dose of phizer more effective than a double dose if Oxford Astrazenica. Both 33% effective after first dose (against Indian variant). Pfizer then 88% effective after 2 nd dose compared to 60% for oxford Astra. Most older people getting the Oxford AstraZeneca also a driver in Percentages.
