Millions Are Skipping Their Second Doses of Covid-19 Vaccines

Millions of Americans are not getting the second doses of their Covid-19 vaccines, and their ranks are growing.

More than five million people, or nearly 8 percent of those who got a first shot of the Pfizer or Moderna vaccines, have missed their second doses, according to the most recent data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. That is more than double the rate among people who got inoculated in the first several weeks of the nationwide vaccine campaign.

Even as the country wrestles with the problem of millions of people who are wary about getting vaccinated at all, local health authorities are confronting an emerging challenge of ensuring that those who do get inoculated are doing so fully.

The reasons vary for why people are missing their second shots. In interviews, some said they feared the side effects, which can include flulike symptoms. Others said they felt that they were sufficiently protected with a single shot.

Those attitudes were expected, but another hurdle has been surprisingly prevalent. A number of vaccine providers have canceled second-dose appointments because they ran out of supply or didn’t have the right brand in stock.

I got the flulike symptoms with the 2nd shot..I will not get a booster!

Why get this vaccine when a covid mutation is running wild in India?

[skeeter]

I think this may be expected. I just finished the second of the shingles vaccine - first one, no problem. The second knocked me on my keester.

I definitely would not even get the first one and I don't  blame you for not wanting to get the booster. I'm afraid it would be even more detrimental.

I'm also still of the idea that there is a possibility that they are microchipping people.  The injection goes into the muscle -- easy enough to do.

Why get this vaccine when people are dying from it and getting sick anyways??

This information was enlightening to me; I didn't know that one required a second shingles vaccine.

The horrible spike in India is irrelevant to vaccinations in the US.

Yes, the Shingrix vaccine is a two-dose regimen. I had a mildly sore arm for a couple of days. Mrs. PeteS had similar for her first dose, but much more sore and for several days with her second dose.

As with many other things, the millions who have received one of the Covid vaccines with only moderate or mild side effects won't make the news. Those millions are invisible because they are boring and don't contribute to thge MSM's Panic Porn.But people are free to choose.

I don't believe the MSM is creating a panic over the vaccine, they are on the side of the leftist, if anything they may
be hiding the true number of deaths and adverse effects.

If you are smart you will let the virus run its course.   If you die...you die.   The strong will survive.

[massadvj]

I had flu-like symptoms after the first shot, and I understand they will be worse for the second one.  If not for the fact that I intend to travel internationally this summer, I might have decided to forego the second one.

[BassWrangler]

Yeah, Shingrix is two doses. I had a reaction to the second dose of that too. Sore arm, a little fever and generally felt tired.

Why get this vaccine when people are dying from it and getting sick anyways??

Why?  For the same reason one gets any vaccine:  rational risk assessment.  Only the J&J and Oxford vaccines have shown potentially lethal side-effects and those happen at a rate of about one in a million, while the same sort of blood clotting happens in about 20 per million COVID cases.  And getting sick anyways is different from dying from respiratory failure or ending up in an ICU for a long stretch to get cured, neither of which happens to people who get the vaccine, and both of which happen to some people who catch COVID.

I don't get flu vaccine.  Will not get any covid, cold virus vaccine, which has 99.7 % recovery.  That number is supposed to be from CDC.   Or WHO.  One of them. Each year we have 30 to 60 K people who die from the flu.  about 200,000 each year from doctor malpractice.  One million and a half die from diabetes each year.  PLEASE...YOU GET ALL THE SHOTS. 
PLEASE.

The morning after receiving the 2nd Pfizer vaccine my mom awakened completely unable to move. She described feeling paralyzed. Not even able to call out to her husband for help.  He just thought she was sleeping in.....until it was almost time for lunch and realized something was wrong!   Gradually the feeling came back in her extremities but then an intense sharp pain beginning in her toes slowly inched it's way up one leg at a time, then one arm at a time, followed by her torso and into her head, where she had a throbbing headache. It has taken over a month to be able to do things around the house that she was able to do prior to the vaccine...and she still gets fatigued easily and has brain fog she didn't have prior! I'm an RN. I'm not taking this vaccine!

I was told by my GP to get a shingles shot sometime this year. But my doc said to wait around 60-90 days after my second Covid vaccine.

So I’ll probably get it in July or August.

As of 4/25, 6 AM EDT, ~140 million American had received at least one vaccine dose, of whom ~94.8 million are fully vaccinated. What caused all those many tens of millions of Americans to not die? If anyone thinks a vaccine or medication should be perfect before it should be used, that's not how this universe works.

Prolly smart. Be sure to follow through with the Shingles shots, though. As big a pain as they are the Shingles themselves are far less fun.

Yes, this is very true. My mom got it, and it was not fun.

[Absalom]

A reflection.
Consider the impact of politics and its twin, corruption/the sad obsession of countless/on this Plague.
The public faces of Covid-19 are our political assholery led by schmuck Cuomo and his like.
And who is lurking right behind them?
Why the Medicine Men led by flunkey Fauci, running off at the mouth for hours daily.
A query? Are Plain People more confident about what they are told by the "experts" now, than they were when this Plague began???
The answer is apparent as more and more are shutting the door to these frauds and hustlers
whose obsessions are media ratings and money!!!!

Cuomo and Fauci have something in common. I will leave it at that.

I thought you had to be 60 and over for the shot, but my GP said anyone over 50, and definitely by 55.

It was really hard to find the Shingrix vaccine for awhile. Now it's not an issue.
