India has not authorised any vaccines yet

I read somewhere that they are approving Oxford next week. Pfizer is still pending

I read on bbc that they’ll start in January and I’m assuming that the health care workers will get them first

Oxford thing has been in news since Aug. Until EU approves it, India won’t. Pfizer is too expensive, Indian govt will never pay for it

Yeah! I thought the same when I was reading articles about it getting to India by Jan. How will the govt afford it

I agree with rest of the comments here. No news about vaccine yet in India. I read the Oxford vaccine (AstraZeneca vaccine) is running into some issues because of their vaccine trial data. Not sure how true any of it is but the article mentioned that the AstraZeneca vaccine would have very little chance for approval in USA right now due to the quality of their trial data. Pfizer vaccine even if approved in India will be hard to distribute due to the very low temperature required for storage (-95C).

Just because Pfizer is expensive, India chooses not to pay for it? Is this the time to go shopping or for once use the tax payer money for the greater good rather than filling their pockets?

SC1, I wish india would buy pfe vaccine too, but probability is too low

I probably have the flu or Covid. Testing appointments are very difficult to find right now. Should I just isolate for a week? Not sure what I would do with the result of the test.

Need a hug! Afraid of losing my job because I have Covid again!!! I had to go back to work after being away 8 years caring for my mother with dementia. I am an only child and my husband had a good job. He just left me after being together since we were 17. Took all the money and ran. I can’t afford a decent divorce attorney. His mummy is paying for his. Trying to afford a retainer and I get sick in my first 30 days of work!!! Unpaid!!! Plus having to do my own divorce case in all my spare time 🤦🏻‍♀️

Seeing your guys posts have me really sad.. So I started at Rite aid 3 years ago at start of Covid when I lost my job (factory) closed with no experience or training.. I’m now MI state licensed, not nationally certified. I fought with the union to get raises in our district and they did give us pay raises on the first of the 2022 year. so making 13.50 with a 25 cent pay raise a year.. I love my job and coworkers and my pharmacist.. but seeing these pay rates y’all have I’m very disappointed.

So, I started watching “Limitless” with Chris Hemsworth. Apparently, he found out he carries both genes for dementia which puts him at a higher risk. So the series is about him changing things in his life for longevity. The third episode is about fasting and he fasts for 4 days until the day he has to hunt for his food. Does anyone in healthcare have thoughts on this type of fasting? I know it is done in some cultures and religions, but to what extent?

On a plane with my kids for the long weekend. Although I don’t want to go back to the multiple cities per week schedule I had before Covid, I can’t believe how energizing it is to travel today. Airport was a mess, the lines were crazy, the food was mediocre - but the people watching was great and the energy was invigorating. I have missed this.
