#97 Second Dose of Covid Will Kick Your Butt

Neal had a stellar week immunizing over 3000 people in Ulster County, NY. He explains all the successes and hurdles he and his staff experienced across three days of intense clinics in three towns. With episode 100 comes a big announcement.

Neal’s effort to vaccinate disenfranchised communities is getting some media attention, which is exciting and hopefully encouraging to others fighting the good fight. He and Daena also talk about the effect of painkillers on the efficacy of the vaccines, doing the math on Covid risk in a mixed vaccinated population, and love in the time of Covid- it’s a many splendored and risky thing!... Lotta risk talk today, folks.  Please check out https://www.woodstockvitamins.com/ and https://drnealsmoller.com/  Twitter @BigmouthRPH, Instagram @drnealsmoller  Facebook https://www.facebook.com/WoodstockVitamins/  Email questions to [email protected]  Blog https://www.woodstockvitamins.com/blogs/learn

Neal has requested 10,000 doses of the Covid vaccine and it’s looking like he will get them so he and Daena go through the details of planning equitable and efficient distribution of that many doses. If you are a pharmacist, listen up! Daena got her second shot yesterday and is suffering a bit today, but there were some surprising precursors she noticed yesterday before the symptoms really set in.  Please check out https://www.woodstockvitamins.com/ and https://drnealsmoller.com/  Twitter @BigmouthRPH, Instagram @drnealsmoller  Facebook https://www.facebook.com/WoodstockVitamins/  Email questions to [email protected]  Blog https://www.woodstockvitamins.com/blogs/learn

Life is still hectic in the independent pharmacy world so Neal and Daena do a quick recap of how it's going with the second doses. The side effects are worse, people are getting flaky about showing up, the chain pharmacies have gotten involved, plus the task of maintaining a second dose stand-by list has Neal ready for a bourbon, of which he has A LOT.  Please check out https://www.woodstockvitamins.com/ and https://drnealsmoller.com/  Twitter @BigmouthRPH, Instagram @drnealsmoller  Facebook https://www.facebook.com/WoodstockVitamins/  Email questions to [email protected]  Blog https://www.woodstockvitamins.com/blogs/learn

Today, Neal continues his talk about the vaccine roll-out. He explains how extra doses are extracted from the viles, the shame of doses being wasted, how different groups will likely get their shots, vaccine brand loyalty, making sure doses make their way into minority communities, the pros of a single payer insurance system, and as an aside- his new dog.

Covid vaccine distribution is underway and Neal has been doing an exceptional job getting as many people vaccinated in a timely fashion as he is capable with the doses he’s been allotted. He has held two clinics at the time of this recording and tells us all about the process for procuring doses and the technology issues he’s run into in dealing with both a limited supply and an elderly patient base less familiar with the internet. He also addresses the feelings of frustration and jealousy among those not yet eligible to be vaccinated, the lie about the federal cache of doses, and he explains how he went about picking his first 100 recipients.  Please check out https://www.woodstockvitamins.com/ and https://drnealsmoller.com/  Twitter @BigmouthRPH, Instagram @drnealsmoller  Facebook https://www.facebook.com/WoodstockVitamins/  Email questions to [email protected]  Blog https://www.woodstockvitamins.com/blogs/learn
