Hey all my fellow Bulldogs. I wanted to let you know that the State of Hawaii is finally opening up registrations for COVID-19 Vaccinations for those 60+ years of age. Finally us young kids get our turn!
HAWAII DEPT OF HEALTH MEDIA RELEASE (3/25/2021)
Vaccinations expand to people age 60 and older
HONOLULU – The Hawai‘i Department of Health announces the state will extend COVID-19 vaccine eligibility to people age 60 and older beginning Monday, March 29.“We are closely monitoring current and projected vaccination numbers, appointment availability and most importantly the amount of vaccine allocated to the people of Hawai‘i,” said State Health Director Dr. Elizabeth Char. “Our analysis of these indicators tells us it is time to expand vaccine eligibility to more people.”
To date vaccines have been reserved for those in phase 1a and 1b of the state’s vaccination program as well as those age 65 and older, those being treated with oxygen for severe respiratory conditions, those on dialysis, chemotherapy or other infusion therapy, as well as essential workers at hotels, restaurants, and bars.
Registration opportunities for those 60 and older will soon be available through links posted on hawaiicovid19.com and from healthcare providers around the state.
Go sign-up! I got my two Moderna shots, the first one a little tenderness at the injection site for a couple days then back 100%.
The second shot some tenderness at the injection site again, was fine that night. Next morning felt a bit tired but I still got on my exercise bike in the morning and went for a ride. That night, tired, some body aches, a headache, I took a couple Tylenol and that helped.
The next few days I felt tired, some brain-fog, felt like I needed a Venti Starbucks coffee, headache, but it would be like a roller-coaster of fine to feeling some effects. This is GOOD! This means the first Vax is working and detected the second shot with anti-bodies saying, “Wot Brah! Like Beef!?!” And certainly by the end of a week after the shot I was 100%. You mileage may vary. Others I spoke too, younger than me too, were hit harder with the aches but for them it went away and were like 100% 24 hours after Vax #2.
So no be scared, get the shot to protect yourself, and your loved ones.
I swear Every time I made a milestone birthday I thought “Now I’m old.” Turned 50-years-old, no discounts on anything in the stores, WTF!?! Only could get AARP insurance. Turned 55 “No discounts, full price everywhere.” Finally when I turned 60, “Kupuna discount at Foodland!” But too young for COVID-19 Vaccination! Double WTF!?! So go get it kids, now is our time.
Registration info should be on the HDOH website on Monday (March 29) here: https://hawaiicovid19.com/vaccination-registration/
