- bigbillheck 5y agoWhat happens when you get the usual reactions to the second shot (knocked low for a couple days) and you lose your job because you can't come in? EDIT: I'm eating the downvotes on this one, but it's an actual excuse I've seen reported in the wild. Even if they don't lose their job, many people are living very close to the edge and the loss of a couple days salary is a big deal. I personally was unable to really work for a day and a half, and couldn't have driven myself there (or back) anyway. I'm very lucky in that I work from home and have plenty of paid sick leave, but that's not a situation experienced by lots of people.
- leesalminen 5y agoSchedule the vaccine for after work the day before your day off? So if your day off is Tuesday, schedule the vaccine for Monday after your shift ends.
- bigbillheck 5y agoNow you're gambling that you won't be out for two days, or be called in on your day off.
- Symmetry 5y agoThere's a difference between Wal-Mart offering free vaccination in fact and members of minorities being informed and believing that is in fact free. The US healthcare system does, sadly, have a bit of a reputation for surprise fees.
- underseacables 5y agoI don’t think you can find a single community of minorities in America that hasn’t heard of the vaccine.
- sudosysgen 5y agoEven here in Canada I had people ask me if the vaccine was going to be free. I don't think such things are unrealistic.
