'There is a huge uptick in the request for vaccines. We're back almost to how we were when the vaccine first came out.'
PONCHATOULA, La. - The crowd inside Floyd's Family Pharmacy was abuzz with an agitated energy.
"There is a huge uptick in the request for vaccines," Talley said. "We're back almost to how we were when the vaccine first came out." Instead, local leaders have made it less convenient to pass up vaccination with such measures as a recent schools' directive that unvaccinated teachers and students exposed to the virus would be forced to quarantine, with teachers not receiving any extra sick days as they did last year.
"The vaccinated can still get sick, though I know a lot less. And this shot was developed so fast that we feel like guinea pigs," Perrin said. "But they may get sick and miss school if they don't have the shot. I feel like I'm damned if I do and damned if I don't. But we're getting it." He said shaming or labeling rural conservatives as ignorant was ineffectual, and described complacency and timing as key factors too easily disregarded. When the vaccines first came out, many people were not eligible. By the time they were, the threat posed by COVID did not seem as dire.
