i have talked to some seniors who aren't sure if they even want the shot. but i feel we all should if only to keep us from spreading the virus ourselves to others. the shots have been proven to be safe and effective.
its a personal choice, but statistics in the uk have proved that mass vaccination is working and deaths from covid 19 have dropped dramatically since over 20 million people have had the first jab.  (me included)
also hospital admissions have dropped by over 65%.
anyone who does not take up the vaccination offer out of fear of it, is putting themselves and very possibly others, at great risk. jmo.
covid-19 booster shots are not a new idea. since the vaccines were first introduced last december, scientists have acknowledged that boosters may someday be needed. this would mean a third dose of vaccine from pfizer-biontech or moderna, or a second dose of johnson & johnson, which are the three approved vaccines in the u.s. march 26, 2021 the fall in covid-19 cases across much of the world over the past ten weeks signals a new dawn in the fight against the disease. vaccines are proving effective and rapidly scaling, bending the curve in many geographies.

DISEASES THAT CAN INCREASE RISK OF COVID-19



  

So, hopefully useful. Stay healthy. Hello Elisa, Thank you for the question.



  

Immunization is one of the measures to prevent infectious diseases by giving vaccines that will stimulate the immune system to be immune to a particular disease. Besides children. adults can also receive immunizations.



  

Have you ever received a polio vaccine when you were a child? Polio or poliomyelitis is a viral infection that enters a person's body through the oral cavity or nose, then spreads to the bloodstream that attacks nerves, causing permanent muscle paralysis. This virus is easily transmitted through direct contact with the stool of the patient, consuming food and drink contaminated with the stool of the patient, through coughing or sneezing from the patient. This disease can be prevented by giving the polio vaccine. Polio immunization is a compulsory immunization given to children. Even adults can receive the polio vaccine.



  

If you have never received a polio vaccine at all when you are a child, you can receive a 3-dose injection of polio vaccine, with the first and second vaccine spacing is 1-2 months while the second and third vaccine spacing is 6- 12 months. If when you children have received 4 doses of polio vaccine, then you are recommended to receive 1 dose of booster vaccine that will last a lifetime.



  

Please consult your doctor immediately to receive the polio vaccine. Also discuss with your doctor about how many doses of vaccine you should receive.



  

Hope this helps. nurses? sure. at first i thought you meant teachers. i think nurses having easy access to it makes sense. i don't think they need it in their pockets all day unless maybe kids are frequently dying from this. even if they are, i don't think the nurse having it in their pocket would do much. it would only help if the nurse happened to walk by an incident happening. if using that type of logic, it would be more effective to just have the drug placed on school walls every 20 feet and training kids how to access it like a fire hydrant. i'd think that 99% of cases happen with the kid being sent to the nurse or the nurse called to the kid. in that case the nurse could access the drug when needed. i'm not a fan of forcing rules on people unless they are seriously needed. i err on the side of people being able to think for themselves and use their own creativity. I'm so sorry. This is hard to accept. But sometimes people get to the point that they don't want to socialize. My mother - who was once very social - simply arrived at a point where she only wanted those close to her or the nursing home staff around. She was in a lot of pain which I think was much of it.   
  
If your mother was once social, then you could ask the doctor to experiment with her medications. There may be other options.  
  
However, sometimes we have to accept that these diseases take their course and we can only do so much. Forcing what the person obviously doesn't want isn't helpful.  
  
Offering suggestions - yes - so continue to do that. I'm certain that the AL staff does the same. But you can't make it happen if it's not going to happen. Offer all of the support that you can.  
Take care of yourself, too.  
Carol Sometimes yes. But let your doctor know. "insurance companies view older, new drivers just as high risk as younger, new drivers. the reason why older drivers have better rates is typically because they've been driving longer. 
 
older drivers are often able to prove to insurance companies that they're reliable. a new driver hasn't had that experience, so insurance companies are taking on more risk by insuring them.
 
additionally, since you live in a large city, your rates will normally be higher than a suburb or smaller town. 
 
to find out what your rate will be, you'll want to request [car insurance quotes](https://getjerry.com/car-insurance) from different carriers. this will give you a good idea of how much you'll be paying in car insurance. 
 
while your rates may be high to begin with, your rates should begin to decrease if you maintain insurance and a clean driving record." these are some of the safest drugs but not totally devoid of side effects. have you ever consent an allergist about your condition? see more... in such a situation, a couple typically can just add condoms for may, and not have to think about these things. june will be the second month back on birth control pills, and if no missed pills, june will be fine and safe. condoms work great, and a couple should always have some on hand. condoms are versatile. good for back up use, etc... no worries. see more...
