I got my second dose, it was pretty quiet at the clinic, scaled down a lot since last I was there. They said the uptake of second doses was going very well, but first doses are slowing down. We were already over 75% first doses, and 50% full vaccinated (12 and up) Hopefully it will be enough to get herd immunity together with natural immunity from earlier exposure.
Cases are still going down, there is some concern about the lambda variant having arrived from South America but so far it hasn't really taken off anywhere. Delta variant is still dominant. And some very true words:
“When we look at the big picture of this pandemic, as our vaccinations rise in this country we really, really have to start thinking about the rest of the world from a virus and epidemiological point of view and from an ethical point of view,” said Bowman. “Many places in this world [have] very low vaccination rates…these variants are going to keep coming at us. I would argue that we have an obligation to help other people in this pandemic.”
