When I entered the Pfizer blind study I knew there was a 50-50 chance of getting either the real vaccine or a placebo. Last week Pfizer gave all participants the option of "unblinding" themselves and finding out which test group they were in. I immediately asked to be unblinded.
As I thought, I received the placebo twice. Yesterday I got a shot of the real vaccine and in 3 weeks I will receive my second shot. Originally Posted by SpeedRacerXXX

I am 74, almost 75. In Phase 1b people over 75 were eligible to receive the vaccine according to the CDC guidelines. I would have fallen into Phase 1c. However, the state of Texas set the minimum age limit for Phase 1b at 65. At first I was told by Pfizer I did not qualify due to the CDC guidelines but they changed their opinion.

I could try and sign up and go to Hard Rock Stadium in North Miami ( I'm in South Miami ) and fight a crowd of ten's of thousands of people but I'm not. I'll be waiting to get my shot at the local Publix grocery store where I get all my vaccinations and a $10 gift card Wahoo!, so I'm probably looking at March at the earliest.
