[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There is a "healthy vaccinee bias" which is a big factor behind covid vaccine effectiveness results. People who get the vaccine often have better access to health care, less blue collar jobs, etc. and so have better outcomes. While it seldom gets mentioned, the covid vaccinated also have lower mortality rates than the unvaccinated for non-covid diseases as well for this same reason. [/quote]
Yes. Also I think this low number will change dramatically as the vaccine becomes more available in an easy way. I’m talking about no lines, etc..[/quote]

BS. I live in an area where there are no lines or access issues. They can’t give it away. There is no demand. [/quote]
For real??[/quote]

Huh? Even in Montgomery County there is no demand. Have you been to a pharmacy lately? I get two emails a week from a couple different pharmacies I use both emphasizing walk-in availability.[/quote]
Once they purchase/receive the vaccines, pharmacies are eager to dispense them lest they get stuck with them. Aside from Pfizer doses for the very young, neither Pfizer nor Moderna will offer 100% refunds on unused doses. Pharmacies remember the lower-than-expected demand for last year's bivalent booster (bivalent uptake in <=4yrs 0.6%, 5-11yrs 5%, 12-17yrs 8%, 18-24yrs 7%, 25-49yrs 12% https://covid.cdc.gov/covid-data-tracker/#vaccination-demographics-trends) and want to dispense the current monovalent doses as quickly as they can.[/quote]

Yes, and the lack of interest in the vaccines is making them particularly worried about that.[/quote]

This may be why it isn't as easy to get the vaccine on a walk in basis.  The pharmacies are ordering less. [/quote]
