The Jab
Once it’s your turn to get the jab, don’t take time to stop and gab, don’t be drab, grab the keys or nab a cab, as you run to the lab, It will be so fab.
I admit, I’m often short on witt, sadly my attempts at rhyme, only work some of the time.
I’ve long maintained that the single greatest achievement of the Trump Presidency was Operation Warp Speed, the effort to create the quickest possible vaccines to confront Covid 19. While no vaccine rollout in history has ever occurred without overcoming many challenges, this monumental achievement aided efforts around the world to speedily create the growing number of Covid 19 vaccinations that exist today.
It is no secret that vaccination efforts require an enormous amount of : people, time, resources, research, logistics, planning, administration, transportation, and surmounting a great many difficulties. Keep in mind that the first jab was given in the UK on 12/8, just 2 months ago.
Wow, we’ve come a long way in a very short time, but we have a long way to go. Persistence seems to be required as those aiding the rollout in various states here in the US work hard to overcome logistical hurdles. As is true on any issue regarding your health, if you have questions, about your own unique medical condition as it relates to the vaccine, please check with your doctor. The vaccines do have documented side effects that seem in keeping with the same issues faced by similar vaccines or shots.
As of the most recent data, some of which may surprise you, these are the current trends.
The United States continues to lead the world in the most doses given, at over 41,000,000 and the most people receiving at least 1 jab,at over 31,000,000.
The United Arab Emirates now edges out Israel with the highest percentage of population fully vaccinated (both jabs) at just above 41 % , with Israel just above 40%
The United Kingdom continues to be the biggest mover in a number of categories in recent weeks, and now is 3rd in the world in percentage of population to receive at least one dose. (The US is 4th) Surveys also continue to indicate that the population of the UK is the most desiring to take the vaccine when given the opportunity. If you want to see where this data comes from, go to google and type in - daily vaccine tracker.
My hope and prayer is that with the help of God, vaccination efforts around the world will continue to expand and protect more and more lives each day.
