(44,973 posts)So all those people in the army who refused vaccines won't have a choice anymore. I hope the same goes for medical professionals, they have to get vaccinated.

Yesterday when I tried to find a shot in VA, everyone was booked, except for places in SE/SW VA.
This doesn't match this story.

(801 posts)The vast majority of people sick, dying and hospitalized are the ones without one of the vaccines. Oh and don't forget to tell all of the hesitant that ALL of their elected leaders, including tRumf, has had theirs for a long time now !!!

(2,636 posts)I think once full approval is granted to Pfizer and Moderna, the Federal government can require vaccines for federal positions, including military. Private businesses can, too, and insurance companies may be the mechanism for doing so. WHen the vaccines are approved for kids, it'll become part of the vax schedule required for kids to go to school. The private universities are beginning to require vaccines for students this fall.
The YOu're not the boss of me hold outs will have to comply.

Even smoking isn't a pre-existing, although it does affect your rate. But that was carved out in the law for smoking.

(26,727 posts)The total "not likely" figure has been falling over time. Likely as more people get the vaccination without major complications. At one point, twice as many people said that they were not likely to get the vaccine.

(142 posts)I'm sure anyone who has kids that got the vaccine themselves or is intending on getting it will also vaccinated their kids though. Who knows how many people that is though.

(52,155 posts)56 percent are vaccinated (at least once) leaving 44% unvaccinated. 14% of the total population is intending to get vaccinated meaning just under 1/3 (31.8%) are going to get vaccinated.
