Yes, MD's and nurses at the hospitals are qualified IF the hospital has the refrigeration needed to keep the vaccine cold, but most of these people are already working overtime taking care of patients.</div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:tahoma,sans-serif"><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:tahoma,sans-serif">Walgreens and CVS seem to be hiring people and will be giving shots, but it takes time to gear this up and get the people trained.

There is supposedly a lot ( hundreds of thousands of doses) of vaccine in NY, but not much going into arms that are officially counted. Perhaps if the right people are known, a bit of green moves you up the unofficial line. Politicians cry the money blues as the reason it is not hitting arms faster. Politicians seem to easily get the vaccine. Flu vaccine was distributed in record numbers this year, those people are now available to do the same with COVID. I don’t see an excuse for not rapidly moving what is had into arms. Oh yes, the soft ground is almost frozen enough to skid some logs without making a mess with my D-14.<u></u><u></u></p><p class="MsoNormal">Carl, Manlius, NY<u></u><u></u></p><p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p><p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p><div><div style="border-right:none;border-bottom:none;border-left:none;border-top:1pt solid rgb(225,225,225);padding:3pt 0in 0in"><p class="MsoNormal"><b>From:</b> AT <<a href="mailto:at-bounces@lists.antique-tractor.com" target="_blank">at-bounces@lists.antique-tractor.com</a>> <b>On Behalf Of </b>HERBERT METZ<br><b>Sent:</b> Sunday, January 3, 2021 12:28 PM<br><b>To:</b> Antique Tractor Email Discussion Group <<a href="mailto:at@lists.antique-tractor.com" target="_blank">at@lists.antique-tractor.com</a>><br><b>Subject:</b> [AT] O.T. whan flu vaccine?<u></u><u></u></p></div></div><p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p><div><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif">Vaccine schedule? <u></u><u></u></span></p></div><div><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif">Barbara & I use the same heart doctor; during his talking with Barbara Thursday(?) about her high blood pressure he mentioned that he had been vaccinated for wuhan flu.
