Coronavirus Outbreak: Part 4

It seems that Americans learned nothing from the global pandemic.
Be careful out there, people, especially in Florida.

I don’t think the world learned anything. I’ve had a Greek & French dr. tell me, ā€œCovid isn’t here anymore. I don’t recommend the vaccine. It’s only for the very oldā€. And in the next sentence tell me, w/o a mask on, that they have ā€œdiagnosed 7 covid cases in the past few daysā€ :thinking: :astonished_face: :woman_facepalming: :face_with_medical_mask: :face_with_symbols_on_mouth:

I checked w/ a French pharmacist last week about a covid jab and she said she didn’t have any vaccine but expected it w/in the next month w/ the flu vaccine delivery. She actually went and physically opened her mini fridge to look for vaccine for me :heart:

Just got my Nuvaxovid (formerly Novavax) at CVS. Latest data still shows it as having a slightly better side effect profile than the mRNA vaccines. If you book on the CVS website, it shows which Covid vaccines are available at each location. (If you previously had a good experience with one of the mRNA vaccines, it might be a very valid decision to stick with that one.)

So we are currently living in France and have been inquiring about covid & Flu (grippe) vaccinations. The dr. said he didn’t believe in covid (I’m hoping it’s a language transition issue), the immigration office told me they would be available Oct 13th. We are on a waiting list at a pharmacy for covid jab but already walked in and got our grippe jab (makes me laugh to say grippe instead of flu :woman_shrugging: :smirking_face: :rofl: Another American reported the pharmacy couldn’t figure out how to bill them w/o a French SSN and so they were unable to get their covid jab. I’m hoping our small beach town location knows something more b/c they put us on a call list. :crossed_fingers: :crossed_fingers:

Here’s some pics from France (south)
