By proceeding, I agree that I understand the following disclosures:
I. How We Work in Washington. Based on your preferences, we provide you with information about one or more of our contracted senior living providers ("Participating Communities") and provide your Senior Living Care Information to Participating Communities. The Participating Communities may contact you directly regarding their services. APFM does not endorse or recommend any provider. It is your sole responsibility to select the appropriate care for yourself or your loved one. We work with both you and the Participating Communities in your search. We do not permit our Advisors to have an ownership interest in Participating Communities.
II. How We Are Paid. We do not charge you any fee – we are paid by the Participating Communities. Some Participating Communities pay us a percentage of the first month's standard rate for the rent and care services you select. We invoice these fees after the senior moves in.
III. When We Tour. APFM tours certain Participating Communities in Washington (typically more in metropolitan areas than in rural areas.) During the 12 month period prior to December 31, 2017, we toured 86.2% of Participating Communities with capacity for 20 or more residents.
IV. No Obligation or Commitment. You have no obligation to use or to continue to use our services. Because you pay no fee to us, you will never need to ask for a refund.
V. Complaints. Please contact our Family Feedback Line at (866) 584-7340 or
[email protected] to report any complaint. Consumers have many avenues to address a dispute with any referral service company, including the right to file a complaint with the Attorney General's office at: Consumer Protection Division, 800 5th Avenue, Ste. 2000, Seattle, 98104 or 800-551-4636.

I agree with others on here. I certainly don't want to be a guinea pig.
There is a video out there by an English or Australian woman; it's about the vaccine by Astra Zeneca. Towards the end of the video, she points to the wording on the back of the box which says,
"The MHRA urgently seeks an Artificial Intelligence (AI) software tool to process the expected high volume of Covid-19 vaccine Adverse Drug Reactions (ADRs) and ensure that no details from the ADRs reaction texts are missed."
The vaccine manufacturers are expecting a high volume of adverse reactions, although they won't be mentioning that to us beforehand, most likely.
I won't be taking any vaccines until more information/statistics come out about them. And any long term effects will not be known for years to come. That's the scary part.
Can they require you to take it?
This makes me second guess it if healthcare workers are skeptical about it.
Plus because it’s new, many people will be skeptical to take it.
I will take it after it's been through the 3 (?) level test, and administered more widely. Something created under as much political meddling but legitimate medical need isn't anything I'm going to chance.
If there's any option to take a German vaccine, that would be my priority choice.
On a second note, I wonder before one gets the covid vaccine, will they need to get tested for covid, a rapid test? Because if one has no symptoms yet has the virus, I wonder how that would play if they do get the vaccine?
Yeah, the freezing temperature is going to make it a different situation.
We can’t go to our doctor’s office or our neighborhood Walgreens to get the vaccine like we can for our flu shot or shingles vaccine. I feel for the hospital staff, don’t you?
I think that you speak for many in saying that this has impacted how we will think or feel about social interactions. Good point!
I think, for me at least, the biggest adjustment is going to be when we no longer have to social distance, especially when I'm on line at the grocery store. I can see being very uncomfortable for a while when people are back in my "personal space"; it's amazing how quickly that became normal. I only hope going back will become normal quickly, too. But I can see, especially at first, people's tempers being a little frayed when others get too close to them.
It’s true. We have all been effected by this. Some much more than others. God bless all the survivors of Covid. Glad your 92 year old made it!
It feels like a sci-fi movie.
My life has been changed, but as the caregiver of a feisty woman of 92 who is a 6 month survivor of this horror, I am counting my blessings and hoping and praying I’ll see her again soon.
I’m not sure how soon the vaccine will be available to my husband and myself, and as of July 2020 our doctor wasn’t recommending it, but I sure would love to feel as though I had more freedom of mobility than I have now.
How is your family? You and your family have been in my thoughts and prayers.
