COVID Vaccine Testing and Approval​

Many people are astonished by the unprecedented speed of COVID vaccine testing.
The vaccine development process — for COVID and any vaccine —involves many layers of study, testing and review. According to The College of Physicians of Philadelphia, vaccines usually take an average of 10-15 years to create.
And yet, the COVID vaccines were developed in less than a year.
The vaccines for the novel coronavirus went through the same layers of review and testing as other vaccines. Due to the dire nature of the pandemic, certain barriers to development, related to funding and manufacturing, were removed.
To understand how this is possible, it is important to know how the vaccine development process typically works and how the COVID vaccine was created.

I had my first dose last week and noticed I was more irritable than usual for a day or two. Did anyone else have that experience?

# 1. Fine. #2. My nose itched for 3 days.

The first shot - nothing. The second shot - small red spot that itched for a day then - nothing.

The shots haven't made me cranky - certain people still do........

Based on science - Health care workers are not at a higher risk of contracting Covid on the job.

“This is what surprises some people,” said Dr. Michael Brant-Zawadzki, principal investigator. “Despite the headlines you see saying health care workers are at higher risk of contracting the disease, we haven’t seen that. In fact, we’re seeing the reverse of that. The question is, why?”

Health care workers may be less, not more, susceptible to coronavirus, study suggests

Antibodies from infection may not be “the be-all and end-all of immunity against this virus,” says a researcher at Hoag hospital. “There’s another type of immunity that protects y…

Healthcare Providers Rarely Catch COVID-19 on the Job

Healthcare workers on the front lines of the COVID-19 pandemic in the United States rarely become infected with SARS-CoV-2 through patient care, new research suggests.

www.medscape.com

"They analyzed 95 HCP SARS-CoV-2 infection clusters and 137 possible patient contact sequences; 55 of the HCP infections (58%) could not be linked to a patient or co-worker and were genetically similar to viruses circulating in the community at the time."

We have been fortunate where I work...

Not taking any credit but protocol is strict...

Ironic in my circle outside work avoided anyone working in healthcare as a precaution...

Very early prediction from infection control said based on the numbers a percent of those we work with will be no longer with us...

Some docs even disappeared for several months last year saying risk to great.

Pleased to say reports appear to have been exaggerated...

It's been over a week since I got my second shot and my hair is already shinier and more manageable. Not only that, my nails are less brittle and I've lost two pounds. I just knew it was gong to work out.
