![As I write this week’s newsletter, I am sitting in the pre-dawn dark of the local civic center’s parking lot. I arrived two hours before my appointment not sure what the wait would be for my first Covid-19 vaccination.
I didn’t sleep well last night and got up way before my alarm: an anticipatory mix of excitement and nerves. Thoughts of: Where do I park? How long is the wait? What side effects might I experience? ran through my head on an endless loop.
I can’t believe I am here. After a year of waiting for a vaccine to be developed, I am one of the fortunate people who may receive the vaccine early. My profession as an outpatient therapist affords me this opportunity: an opportunity I don’t take for granted.
As of January 21, approximately 6.42% of the total population in Washington County has received their first Covid-19 vaccination: another 5.40% of county residents have received their second. Slowly but surely our community is taking the steps necessary to stop the spread of the virus.
Unfortunately, scientists still don’t know what the magic number is to reach herd immunity. Herd immunity is when a sufficient percentage of the population has been infected with the virus or been immunized against the virus to become immune.
Some estimates to achieve herd immunity are as low as 70% of the population: other estimates are as high as 90% of the population need to be immune. One reason we don’t know is because Covid-19 has only been around for a year. Scientists are still learning about the virus and how it spreads.
In a recent United Kingdom study called SIREN (SARS-CoV-2 Immunity and Reinfection Evaluation), [additional info] approximately 22,000 health care workers (predominantly women under 60) were followed for one year. Every two weeks, the study participants received a nose swab to measure the presence of Covid-19 and every month the participants underwent blood tests to look for the presence of Covid-19 antibodies.
