Ok- this comic isn't the best vaccine comic ever....but I needed something so that I can announce that 3 more McClearys are scheduled to be vaccinated next week.
Joel's doctor sent a message to me the day that Iowa opened vaccinations up to the general population. Of course I called right away and he is scheduled to get his Pfizer vaccine next Wednesday after school!! (since he is umping and playing soccer he is our weak link)
The University of Iowa has plans to vaccinate all of the students before the end of the year. That said, given the Johnson and Johnson problems last week, the number of doses they are getting next week is a fraction of what they were expecting. Plus Michigan is having a huge 2nd wave and MN and IL aren't doing so hot either. Anyway that raised my worry level, so I went to the Twitter sight for IA Vaccine Alerts and there were vaccines available 1.4 miles from Matthew's apartment on Tuesday! I quickly called both kids (several times to wake them before 9 on a Saturday......actually, Carolyn was picking up her breakfast in the dorms) Fast forward and they are both signed up! For the 2nd dose, they aren't on the same day, but Matthew will transport Carolyn because he is a sweet brother and very pro-vaccine too!
Also Pfizer asked the FDA for emergency authorization to vaccinate 12-15 year olds 2 days ago!!!!
