Default Aspiration with injection

If blood comes into syringe, injection is not given, needle is withdrawn and entire setup discarded. A new dosage prepared and a new site selected, aspiration done and then injection into muscle. I have given many IM injections, always aspirated, and never had blood come into syringe. John Campbell says he only remembers it occurring once in his experience and as instructor.

Default Why such poor vaccine rates on the Cape?

Tourist season about to start, and there is a very low rate of vaccination even in the over 65 year old folks according to the state "dashboard". Are there lots of vaccine refusers on the Cape?


What communities have the most Brazilian variant contact/outbreak?

Err.. Cape has the highest % of residents who have first dose (56%) and second dose (37%). Reckon plenty had to go off cape, perhaps to Gillette, to get the shot.

Trump got around 40% of the vote mid-Cape. 44% in Bourne. Plenty of union retirees with MAGA hats. Lots of vaccine skeptics in that demographic.

South of 495 was also totally ignored by the state in the earlier vaccine days. If you’re a geezer on the cape, you’re not going to be excited about battling the internet for an appointment at Gillette.

That pretty much happened. Like I said, it's #1 right now in MA.

South Coast is second worst, worst is Springfield although perhaps some got shots in CT.

No worries. Google knows all. I learned something this morning. I’m the non-medical person in the family so it’s my normal state to hit terminology that isn’t in my vocabulary. We all have our technical precise meanings for words.

That’s great, but 47% of white GOP affiliated suggest they either ‘probably won’t’ or ‘definitely won’t’ get a Covid-19 vaccine.

We (society) need to figure out how to remove this hesitancy.

Perhaps a good first step would be to stop politicizing everything.
