Canada and the US both depended on the Danish company to supply the vaccine and it had closed down new production so countries could just rely on what they had already ordered and had set aside for them. Canada had sufficient supplies that they quickly made available in the hot spots of Montreal and then Toronto. The provincial authorities then made the vaccine available to all comers, including foreigners who by early June were taking advantage of the offered vaccine The US took 3 weeks as I recall to start the process of getting the vaccine from Denmark. It was precious time squandered. So I don't think kudos are in order for the US response. Omg three weeks!? Have you checked with the cities and provinces outside of Toronto and Montreal how long some had to wait?

Jim_n_NYC Posted August 16, 2022 Share Posted August 16, 2022 I was just coming to terms with my sexuality when AIDS started in the 80's, so I got to live through that and the HORRIBLE government response to it...and I ended up losing 3 friends to it eventually. I can not imagine if there had been a vaccine (yes, I know there wasn't one) for it that could be given within 2 months of the outbreak, how different the world would have been.

I’m not saying it’s wrong but it doesn’t match the reality that most of us experienced. It sounds very much like an "official US government" spin on the facts. I honestly would appreciate being educated if I’m wrong, but it seems like the arrival and release of the vaccine was severely delayed because of a flat footed and completely uncoordinated response by the FDA, the CDC and the US Department of Health and Human Services. Quite frankly, it’s a been public health and public relations disaster. "Jurisdictions may also request shipments of ACAM2000 vaccine, which is in much greater supply, but due to significant side effects is not recommended for everyone." https://aspr.hhs.gov/SNS/Pages/JYNNEOS-Distribution.aspx So if the particular local health authority wants to administer ACAM as opposed to Jynneos, there appears to be no shortage of the vaccine (but that ugly scar ...)

Let's hope not. This is how the authorities in Florida are doing it. My first dose was subcutaneous and, when I went back for the second dose because Florida is scheduling them, the second dose was intradermal. Incidentally, that second dose hit me harder than the first. Felt under the weather about 12 hours in. JUWS and goodguynyc 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BtmBearDad Posted August 17, 2022 Share Posted August 17, 2022 Anyone else in NYC who has gotten their 1st Monkeypox vax get a text from NYC saying they’re prioritizing 1st doses, and will let you know when 2nd doses are available?

I don’t know of any second doses being given in NYC. So far it seems the rules and protocols are regional (and as a result a confusing shit show), but it it’s what it is. With the move to 1/5 intradermal shots, the number of available shots should increase dramatically soon.

CaliMuscle Posted August 18, 2022 Share Posted August 18, 2022 LA here. I just got mine yesterday. Got it thru my insurance where nobody else has it to offer. Going in for 2nd dose in 30 days but happy I got it. Got it in my rear delt and didnt feel a thing. No symptoms afterwards either. They're injecting sub-q just FYI vs intramuscular hence why most people don't report anything. Good luck out there guys and stay safe! + Pensant, + Vegas_Millennial and JUWS 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DapperGent Posted August 18, 2022 Share Posted August 18, 2022 I don’t know, periodically new diseases are coming out, all exaggerated by the news. I’ve taken my precautions for the last 2 years and I haven’t even gotten the common flu. Is not pretend stuff isn’t happening in the world but is also not live in fear either and inform yourself from a lot of different sources to make the best decision, not jump into the wagon.

Jim_n_NYC Posted August 18, 2022 Share Posted August 18, 2022 (edited) Does anyone know if there is any problem getting the second shot less than 28 days after the first? I may have a chance to get the 2nd shot this weekend, but I'd be cutting into the 28 days by a couple. I've been looking online but all I find is recommendations to get them at least 28 days apart.

+ Pensant Posted August 18, 2022 Share Posted August 18, 2022 I hope I can get it before heading to Portugal on 13 Sept. I wonder if I could get my second jab in Portugal? I’d love to partake of some of the hotties over there, but will remain celibate if unvaxxed. The prospect of contracting this at my age is too ghastly to contemplate!

EZEtoGRU Posted August 18, 2022 Share Posted August 18, 2022 Some pretty graphic photos on a MP sufferer in the UK. He also had un-diagnosed syphilis and HIV so he was more susceptible to a severe case of MP. If these photos don't cause one to take pause I don't know what would. https://news.yahoo.com/graphic-photo-shows-severe-monkeypox-113233387.html?fr=sycsrp_catchall + Pensant 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
