Who hasn't had a shot at all?

[GW11]

Been away a few days...

I saw MSM reporting this morning that Israel says the Pfizer vaccine is now only around 64% effective.

The threat of "mandatory" may hang over a lot at the moment, but the more news like this we see the less chance anything will hold up as mandatory.

I think that is for one of the variant but it still prevents you from getting very sick.

No Vaccine protects 100% and all eventually fall over time. I just had blood work done to see what my immunity is to the childhood diseases like Chicken Pox, Measles, Rubella, Mumps and what ever else there was. Although I am still immune one has fallen quite a bit and I will have to get a new shot. Down the road at some point if I am still employed at the Hospital I will need to get that shot again.

I am not sure of the practice of other Hospitals but where I am working all vaccinations must be up to date I also have to get the 2 step TB test and must also have had the Covid Vaccinations. yes this is all a condition for employment.

Oh and at 100 + grand a year you can bet if they ask me to get some other vaccination I will be getting it.

That is just an average wage at the Ottawa hospital. RN's make that and more.
Why do you need shots working in IT?
No contact with patients.

I will be around Nurse and Doctors and yes patients

As a contractor I do the same but no shots required.
Different strokes for different folks.

These are also my final years I need 4 more years and I am done, not going to rock the boat, although it doesn't pay as much as contracting for the government I am taking a 30 - 40 grand pay cut, it's a permanent position and I won't have to worry anymore and a friend of mine who got me into computers 21 years ago at JDS will once again be my supervisor and I will be the top System Analyst which means I get to have a say.

Working for the government and seeing them hire 5 people to do a one man job (average project had 15 people on it when 3 were required), at least my job will have some meaning and I will have control and real input into things.

Your in IT as well?

I wear many different hats. Ever hear of DICOM and PACS? How about HIS/RIS?
Pretty well all modalities at hospitals have an IT component to it.

Congrats on your new position BTW. Looks like a good move.

I think that is for one of the variant.

That will become dominant very soon leaving us more valuable by fall.

Notice how every few changes its getting less and less effective ?

How many shots do you really want before it even gets approved?
