Wow, that would be something if the BVI could get it for everyone by January or February. Is that what they're saying? Compared to the US, that is really something.

Makes me wonder if we can go and then get vaccinated there ( as "permission to reside-ers)... Are you covered by the BVI NHI?

That makes sense, since the Moderna one does not require ultra-low temps to store. One hopes that he is correct, that non high risk patients who want it, would be able to get it by March. That would be great. People who don't want to take it can choose not to and suffer the consequences. Every medical professional that I know of has stated it is worth taking, despite risks, unless you are a person that suffers from allergic reactions.

Carol, I was at my hematologist yesterday and asked his thoughts on the vaccine. He said that the Moderna one is the one his office will be giving. When I commented that I would not be in any of the early rounds and thought it would be awhile (I am not high risk Covid) he surprised me when he said that towards the end of March he expects to be giving it out to non high risk patients. Sounds like there will be lots of availability. Time will tell I'm assuming this hematologist is on a island?? If so, did he say when he thought he'd be getting the vaccine?
