[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I love the assumption that all MCPS teachers are young and healthy people who will only get vaccinated if it’s through their job. I know so many teachers who are high risk. Plus Biden is opening it up to everyone anyway.[/quote]

We will see what Biden does when he gets in office. Right now, vaccines are distributed to states and in Maryland, the county gives out the shots.  The science shows that not getting a second shot on time could allow the virus to mutate to the point that the vaccine is useless.  For the Moderna vaccine, the second shot needs to be given between 24 to 28 days. Currently, Montgomery County has been giving out the Moderna vaccine.

Other states have converted sites for 24/7 vaccinations and converting stadiums to be mega vaccination sites so more people can get their first site. Montgomery County needs to come up with plans to vaccinate on a larger scale. However, for the vaccine to be effective in stamping out COVID, there needs to be coordination so people can get their second shot on time.

Where does the science say that? My doctor said that the second shot is a booster and will extend the shot's effectiveness over  more time, but that the benefit of the second shot is marginal compared with the benefit of getting the initial shot out to more people.[/quote]
