Albany,n.y. Posted April 13, 2021 Posted April 13, 2021 What's interesting is I got my Excelsior Pass & it expires on 9/22. I guess they're waiting to see if a booster shot will be needed. I also have my CDC card. After the DMV rejected my birth certificate for my enhanced license because I taped it because it was falling apart, I'm not laminating anything from the government unless they instruct us to do so. (Fortunately I had another copy that I had sent away for so I was able to get my enhanced license) 1

Polancarz did mention the Excelsior Pass later on. I think thats what it will end up being. He also mentioned no need to test fans before hand. If you're vaccinated, you're good to go

Arkady Renko Posted April 13, 2021 Posted April 13, 2021 Let's move on from the back and forth on the politics stuff or we will lose the good discussion here on the actual practical implications. 1 1

(and I mean all that in a very positive way) The issue we're about to face is that the US is not even at 25% vaccinated (barely 1/3 of where we need to end up), and we are already seeing DEMAND for the vaccine dwindling. Herd Immunity, and a safe, full re-opening, kicks in around 70%. If we top out at 30-35%, we're going to have some major problems. is that number FULLY vaccinated? That’s not bad if so when you consider the sheer number of people. Erie County is at 50% of eligible residents have received at least one dose (assuming pretty much everyone will show up for their 2nd if it was Moderna or Pfizer).

It basically allows you to renew it until Pfizer/etc says the vaccine isn't effective anymore. Its pretty easy to renew it 1
IBTG81 Posted April 13, 2021 Posted April 13, 2021 What about kids? My son will only be 11 and the vaccine most likely won’t be available for him yet.
H2o Posted April 13, 2021 Posted April 13, 2021 I live in VA and always watch the Bills on TV or my phone anyway. Doesn't affect me personally. 1

Arkady Renko Posted April 13, 2021 Posted April 13, 2021 Just tried getting the Excelsior Pass. Doesn't register my clinical trial vaccine despite me having a CDC card for it.

Erie County is at 50% of eligible residents have received at least one dose (assuming pretty much everyone will show up for their 2nd if it was Moderna or Pfizer). Yes, I believe it was fully vaccinated. I dont know. It is good that we got that many done in such a short time. But the problem now is, for every person already vaccinated, we each need to find 2 more that havent been and convince them to get vaccinated. And that will still only get us just over 60% of the adult population. Tough ask when pretty much everyone I know who wants the vaccine has gotten it, and the only hold outs are the "my choice" crowd who don't intend on getting it. 3 1 1 1
