    COVID Vaccine: False sense of security or green light?

    JVBT replied to Schweet's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I appreciate your request to hear our "inner dialogue!" At first, after vax number one I was extremely relieved but of course I continued to mask and distance when possible. Basically, I changed...

    Covid Vaccine

    JVBT replied to Nurseybl06's topic in Disaster Preparation

    It was. For everyone at my site who got vaccinated, at least. I'm answering their daily surveys. Yes, second vaccine's effects tell your immune system to start working, and you will feel it, but it...

    Covid Vaccine

    JVBT replied to Nurseybl06's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I appreciate the hesitancy and I admire the efforts of the educators expressed here. One thing that might be good to hear from those postponing the vaccine or outright refusing it, is how they...

    Vaccine Hesitancy

    JVBT replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    Because your immune system is reacting at full (or near full?) capacity unlike after vaccine number 1 which is kind of like a priming or introductory dose. Others may be able to explain it

    Vaccine Hesitancy

    JVBT replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    Well, again, all I can say is that before vax #1 I was where you are, wondering about the long term effects. I do not know the answer, though I have heard the concern dealt with effectively by...

    Vaccine Hesitancy

    @SmilingBluEyes You will likely feel more after vax #2.

    Vaccine Hesitancy

    JVBT replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    I consider the term to be a bit of a slur. I see where you're coming from, but during a pandemic, a vaccine (the vaccine) is not the same as not during a pandemic, I would think. We need to...

    Vaccine Hesitancy

    JVBT replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    I can also understand this - as I was surprised at myself for being among the first to get vaccinated. I thought I'd just wait it out to see how it went for .... everyone else. However, I'm less...

    Vaccine Hesitancy

    JVBT replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    I didn't think I'd be first in line, but strangely enough, I was, and recently got the second dose. I do trust the government. I like the government and I thank the government for developing the...

    COVID Misinformation/Ignorance

    JVBT replied to GS ED RN's topic in Disaster Preparation

    OK, so. When you put up a sign and expect it to do the trick of getting people to, in the words of Michael Osterholm, stop swapping air, I do not consider that effective management. I don't consider...

    COVID Misinformation/Ignorance

    JVBT replied to GS ED RN's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Our break room also has enforcement-by-signage. Weak tea. People still eat and drink where they shouldn't. Managers sometimes walk around eating with their masks pulled

    COVID Misinformation/Ignorance

    JVBT replied to GS ED RN's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Seems like those eating with multiple people present in a breakroom are engaging in misinformation in action. How I wish there was a policy forbidding eating together inside clinics and hospitals. It...

    COVID-Positive Nurses Working: Irresponsible or Smart?

    Covid Vaccine

    JVBT replied to Nurseybl06's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Not just how the vaccine was studied, but how it was approved. This is not yet a supply problem. It is a distribution, administration, marketing, communications problem. Solve that first, then we'll...

    Covid Vaccine

    JVBT replied to Nurseybl06's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I'm reading that Biden is going to "speed the release of vaccines." But has a proper conclusion/assessment of the issue really been done? Is this truly a supply problem? Or is it an implementation,...

    I Really Do Not Want the COVID Vaccine ?

    JVBT replied to AspiringNurse94's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I hear what you're saying. I said that out of frustration with some colleagues, meanwhile the motivation level among some of my non-HCW friends is high and I feel bad that they're not getting it...

    For every HC worker who refuses the vaccine, route it to a general population vaccine pool. Members of the public can register for this pool and when one becomes available, can get vaccinated along...

    I Really Do Not Want the COVID Vaccine ?

    JVBT replied to AspiringNurse94's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Observation: medical and nursing schools require vaccinations or proof of titers. Employers don't, I mean, most healthcare sites do not, though I've read on here a few do. Twist: however, my...
