If you are planning to get in line pronto, let us know how it went. Planning to delay or skip it, why? (Because I have been severely allergic from early childhood, I will skip the 2-dose vaccines in favor of 1-dose. And made in America only. No multi-dose vials either.)
See: https://www.cdc.gov/injectionsafety/one-and-only.html
Remember VA: “Safe injection practices are part of Standard Precautions. A good rule to remember is One Needle, One Syringe, Only One Time.”

Thank you…NO.
I feel sorry for anyone on active duty. You belonging to the Government have no choice in the matter. They’ll be the Country’s human Guinea pigs.
The volunteer clinical trials have been large–40K +
But yeah, they will have to be vaccinated & adverse effects noted.
Does anyone remember Anthrax vaccine in 1990? How about Swine Flu Vax, or mandatory annual flu shots, or mandatory typhoid, typhus, cholera, plague, small pox vax, etc, etc, ad nauseum ad infinitum. It all came to you courtesy of the guys and girls of the United States armed forces after the experimentation on all of us unsuspecting FEP (fing enlisted pukes in the words of an academy zero) souls being experimented on.
Then when one gets a reaction and goes to the local “Wisdumb” of medicine in the form of a medical corps zero, he or she says “Oh the xyz vaccine didn’t cause that.” Then when looking up the list in the package inserts that shows just the opposite the then “Wisdumb” of medicine will comment “Well I’ll be damned. It does say that” dismisivly. But you can bet that the average General zero didn’t get that experimental vaccine. Or for that matter a medical corp zero either. Why do I say this? I was a Navy Corpsman for 26 years.
The vaccines require TWO doses to work. RESEARCH. Our son is getting his first one next week. He works the packed COVID floor in a Miami hospital.
It’s great that he’s going to get the vaccine soon. 😊
Pfizer’s is now approved for emergency use. There is some protection with the first dose, but excellent after the second.
Johnson & Johnson is testing one-dose (& two-dose) vaccines.
https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2020-12-08/u-s-counts-on-deals-with-j-j-astra-to-deliver-enough-vaccines
“AstraZeneca Plc and Johnson & Johnson together would provide 150 million to 200 million shots in the first quarter, said Moncef Slaoui, chief scientific officer of Operation Warp Speed. This could immunize 110 million to 150 million people, if the doses are evenly split between J&J’s single-dose vaccine and Astra’s two-dose regimen.
That’s on top of vaccines from Pfizer Inc. and Moderna Inc., from whom the U.S. has ordered enough doses for 100 million people combined.”
This NPR article covers some concerns:

Who the hell made this list? North Las Vegas VA ? And what does the greater Los Angeles VA mean exactly? Long Beach? Loma Linda VA, or how about San Diego VA? The great one is the Caribbean Puerto Rico VA?? I too will be not rushing to receive the Vaccine as that’s what made me sick to begin with back in 1972… sorry, don’t trust the government as all that’s missing is a jet gun to dispense… goin to sit back this time!

“…sorry, don’t trust the government as all that’s missing is a jet gun to dispense… goin to sit back this time!”
Oh shoot, I just found this from the FDA and the Pfizer vaccine comes in multi-dose vials! If you scroll down to the graphics and instructions, you might see the possibility of errors. I have to think about this, knowing what we do about blood borne transfer of disease causing agents via unsafe injections. Like the jet guns.

No idea if vets near a VA hospital on the above list would be faster than private care.
With Covid surging, most people are eager. I am too BUT I have to be careful given my history of allergic reactions. My siblings will also have to be careful.
