Kind of along these lines, a coworker of mine's wife is an ICU Covid nurse. She's been wracked by all this, having had patients die alone, etc.. Anyway, she's scheduled for her first shot next Tuesday. I was surprised that she didn't already have it. Seems the Administration and their office staff already got theirs but the frontline staff didn't get scheduled until after the first group. Nice...

Yeah, I have a facebook friend from high school that was showing her band aid and saying she got her vaccine. She works from home as a patient scheduler, is healthy in her 40’s. This vaccine roll-out doesn’t seem to be going well.

Fred probably wouldnt like the universal HC or perhaps its just an inabilty for a rugged individualist to even understand the concept of the word
i've discussed this before with TGR types "yeah universal HC would be great but I don't wana pay for fat fucks"
universal means everybody eh
due to age & the type II diabetic thing i am probably in line for earlier than laterLee Lau - xxx-er is the laziest Asian canuck I know

Just got it......They’re making us wait 15 minutes afterwards, apparently to make sure you don’t die, start eating people, or broadcasting in 5G......I am not currently experiencing any of those.....

The short answer to your question is, poor. I was pretty shocked. This is a relatively large hospital organization that made this decision. It's ridiculous. The order you describe is exactly what it should be. In this case, it was reversed.
ETA: Out of curiosity, I looked for stories on the roll-out for this organization. For this hospital in particular, they received the vaccine a week ago with shots starting that day. In the story, they claimed that frontline staff such as ICU, ER, so forth would be first in line with administration to get it later. You would assume that within a week, the frontline staff would have received their shots by now. As it is, it appears my coworker's wife will be one day short of a full two weeks from the date of the story. Something is awry.

To Vaccinate or Not---The Rat Flu Odyssey Continues
I'm a full time COVID ICU Nurse at a Level 1 Academic Medical Center and I very nearly missed out on the first batch, which would have bumped me past January 4th. Their system broke down and even though we were giving shots 14 hours a day, I wasn't given a spot. I had to call my manager on a friday night and make a big stink. She called our service line director who said I could come in right then. I think it was more just cluster-fuckery than prioritizing the wrong people but still. The rollout was not well organised, and based on how the rest of this has been handled by my hospital I'm really not surprised. Cutting staff back to the bare minimum in every dept. has been the MO for years and now it's biting us in the ass worse than ever. Well, my ass, not admin. All that said, we started vaccinating on the 15th, I got mine on the 18th, and now 40% of our clinical staff, 6500 people have gotten their first dose. So overall the news is good.
This is starting to become a real problem in rural areas. Healthcare workers are leaving in droves due to being shunned and even threatened by conspiracy theory assholes.

Edit- I had a pretty bad headache for a couple days starting about 24 hours out. Worth it.Last edited by beaterdit; 12-30-2020 at 07:01 PM.

I don't know shit about fuck, but I was under the impression that many institutions were spreading out vaccinations for front line staff over a week or two, to avoid any issue with a large number of people calling in sick due to short-term side effects of getting vaccinated. If all of your ER nurses stay home for a day or two with mild vaccine related symptoms, that's not ideal.
Assuming the hospital had enough doses to cover at risk staff as well as administration, it doesn't seem unreasonable for administration to get their doses while the more at risk staff is getting theirs on whatever schedule is appropriate for staffing related concerns.

Stanford residents briefly went on strike after they were left out of the first wave while work-from-home attendings got it.
AFAIC only HCW's who do direct patient care--I consider custodial services to be direct patient care--should be in the highest priority. People who do not do direct patient care should not be in patient care areas. Newsom and Cuomo among others have threatened consequences if people are vaccinated out of turn. I hope those are not idle threats. Someone needs to be made an example of.

Ha ha. Those are some fucking amazing stories.
As for the OS, that's seriously low level (I didn't understand all of that). But I get it abstracting to events and signaling and locks/synch in Java. The whole inter process communications, from COM to modern stuff, and the way it works is mind-blowingly well put together. I'm surprised UNIX/LINUX has even survived - except it does have the whole text-file OS/DRIVER/BLAHBLAH going for it which is great for open source and hacking together new developments.

Excerpted from a bulletin from CA Medical Board:
"Licensees must adhere to the vaccine requirements, and failure to do so, including distribution or administration of vaccine doses contrary to the phase structure identified in the federal and state guidelines, may subject them to discipline, up to and including revocation of licensure.
CDPH will also be working with local health departments on compliance measures related to improper administration of the vaccine, including potential disenrollment from the COVID-19 Vaccination Program and/or CalVAX, thus preventing the ordering of additional COVID-19 vaccines and redistribution of COVID-19 vaccines to other compliant vaccination providers."
CDPH is CA Dept of Public Health.
Providers who want to administer vaccine have to register to do so and have to agree to follow the CDPH guidelines (adapted from the CDC guidelines).
Currently CA is only publishing criteria for Phase 1A--HCW's and nursing home residents.

Spouse is scheduled for a shot on Monday. She's an LCMHC with her own practice. She's been mostly on telehealth sessions, however has a few clients that just can't do it that way, for a variety of legitimate reasons. She feels bad being near the front of the line.
