@carol888 : and this one is shown to be 95% effective.

@Leila : we are in group 1b. Memorial Herman sent us an email with instructions on how to schedule the shot. Various locations, we chose the humble location.

@ParksideRes : 95% of how many??? Really for something we supposedly have had less than a year?

How do y'all know which group you're in and how does the hospital know to contact you?

@carol888 : over 40,000 people participated in final phase.

@eighteen : www.cdc.gov/coronavi rus/2019-ncov/vaccin es/recommendations.h tmlTexas expanded this group 1b to 65 and older. Hope this helps.

@book73 : Looks like I'd be in group 1c. I'm waiting for @sandman to go first!

Well, I don't fit into any of those categories. But for 1b, how do they determine who has underlying health conditions and who doesn't? These people will be showing up at CVS and other random places that don't have medical records.DH has diabetes and is an essential worker. I wonder how we will know when it's time for him to go. Do they announce it on the news? How do we know where it is available? I am so confused by this 1a and 1b distribution.

I've answered my own questions. Texas phase schedule info:

Looks like there have been some anaphylactic shock reaction with Moderna. Really depending on you now @sandman. Your willingness in my study is epic. Stories will be written about your sacrifice for years to come.

@eighteen : Dude, I wouldn't even where to start here... remember, this is like a different country. AMZN Prime does not take 2 days to get here.

@Sammee : CVS knows they dispense asthma medication to me. I would think that's a good indication I would at least be group 1C

Got mine yesterday morning at 9:30. I also got a email from Memorial Herrmann, all of my doctors are part of the MH network. I felt fine most of the day, then in the evening started feeling a little achy and tired. But feel fine today, except for a little soreness at the injection site.

@book73 : Memorial northeast or med center. How did you get your appt?
