Never underestimate the pull of the Redneck gal under all the professional stuff. Likely count your blessings for self control. I keep my Christmas lights on...

An amazing combo of powerful music, and for me the most downer lyrics ev-r. But if you belt this out full-volume in the car, you feel REALLY empowered yelling, "It's Defective"!!

Is that the baby from Ghostbusters?

LOL

Come on, sing one, Jane!

I got silly and I found a frog...

The last one reminded me to see if this still exists. YAY

LOL

K so it looks like you joined just today. Welcome! I generally look at avatar profiles, so it might help you if you develop your avi profile. Provide info on the type of activities and skills your avi personal wants to or is prepared use. Learn and understand which items in your profile show, and where they show (different viewers, web page, etc.). And in your settings to whom they show (those logged in only, all public, etc.). List the "skills" you want to be hired for clearly. Lots of opportunity to advertise oneself there, and it follows you everywhere you go. Speaking for myself, I hire when the profile shows something reliable, mature, self-developed... which skillset mentioned might somehow relate to what I need. Wishing you fun!!

So yes there are, at least in the states I have direct experience in, databases to retain vaccine data, but they may or may not be required to be updated by anyone, or even known by patients to exist. That these were in place before the Pandemic, meant measles, DPT, flu shot, etc. were in them, but again, only if the patient knew they even existed or if doctors routinely reported all shots to that database, which in my experience no doctors ever have. And they seemed to me more useful in their current state (if patients even knew about them at all), when used, to prove to someone why one *didn't* need to put duplicate chemicals in their body. But for the state to use the list to stop someone from getting multiple vaccines, I've experienced no one before C19 being concerned about multiple vaccines received at all (again, this would be measels, mumps, etc, all before covid). Pre-covid they almost seemed to encourage one to just "jump in" and inject more chemicals again its nothin. But I think what you are saying is a great usage of the data, both for managing multiples medically, and for research purposes moving forward ie reactions, duplicate vaccines, etc. In that state though, back to no requirements for anyone anywhere to report to it (at that time, in those states): If a user wanted to get multiple c19 vaxes, there would be no record of it because user wouldn't report it to the database (either not wanting to, or not knowing it existed). This would require changes in those states since then to PnP and editing reporting to "shall" in law linked to practitioners license for compliance likely, that would then require all licensed medical providers to report all vaccines given, within X hours of giving them, reporting it electronically directly to the database.

They seem to not care if you have or haven't had them. It's all on you to prove it, or take all again. You are asked if you had shot X, and either you can prove it with official records, or before access you must take all required shots again. You are excluded from e.g. enrolling in University classes until you prove it or retake it. When I tripped over this in research it seemed the requirement to build the databases occurred years ago and they were then built and maintained since quietly with no advertisement I ever saw myself, and were assigned to an entity (state and/or county) to maintain the database, and add data to it. But they made it all voluntary to add data to it. Entries of shot records were only to come from either the physician to choose if they transmit data electronically to the database contacts (no requirement to do so, and I never had a doctor do it, I always had to ask at each shot), or were to come from the individual to (magically) know the database exists and to take official data to the manager assigned in PnP to get their information added. If I recall correctly the last time I was involved in one of them, the county health department locations front desks could be visited and if they see official shot records from individuals requesting it they could manually access/add the data to the database. I took cards I found for the entire family (shots all received before I learned about any state vaccine database option), and asked them to add the kids and I, and they did. It came in very handy since for all of us changing jobs, travel. I suspect the db were built with big intentions at the time, then political climate changed and diverted money from one project to others and the db was left being maintained but no rules were added to further develop volume use. All of this is further complicated by state laws which vary requiring how many years doctors are required to retain patient records. In some states it is as short as 3 years. So calling the doctor you got the shot in for a copy of shot record or a signed document you have received a vaccine may be completely useless in that case, if you call four years later.

Hiya! Hey you completely misread the intent of my response. I got your rhetorical question, and I was playing along to help many, not just you. You know, I could have kept that all to myself. It takes a lot to share with intent to *help* when the sharing involves deeply personal stuff. That was the toned down version. You personally were not being lectured I assure you. Perhaps you're right, it wouldn't have helped anyone sharing my experience so they could consider what they might use for their own situations. It surely did the opposite for you. Regular, very concerned folks - let's call it maybe even just one - post here too. In this case, I forgot there are many more others that read more into posts many times even when intended 100% genuine. Meh, its a gaming forum. That I thought it would help anyone was not my smartest move in retrospect, I will grant you that. My bad. To that end, I will next shorten my perceived "tl:dr lecture", so it doesn't do the opposite of helping to anyone else. It's all good. Wasn't worth sharing it for slap like that. Thanks for reading it though. That anyone made it to the bottom, and found even a quarter-ounce of ideas to help their own situation and ease their concerns, would have made it worth the time I invested writing it.
