COEUR d’ALENE — Ron Davis had no doubts about getting the vaccine he believes will keep him safe from the coronavirus.

Davis even displayed a button that reads, “I got my COVID-19 vaccine.”

“I’m all for it,” he said Friday just after knocking in the 8-ball to win a game of pool at the Lake City Center as a handful of seniors looked on.

Davis received his second shot on Tuesday and said he was "feeling great.”

“I haven’t had any side effects on either one,” he said.

Davis said he couldn’t recommend others get vaccinated but did say they should consult their doctor. He hopes the vaccine could help turn the tide against the virus that has taken lives and devastated the economy.

“I think everybody wishes that,” he said. “I think it’s whether we can get enough vaccine and get them produced to where everybody can get them.”

Cathy South, Lake City Center’s Meals on Wheels coordinator, said her main concern is that her drivers are well. Some have been vaccinated, while others are waiting for appointments.

“And they have been. We’re very strict on the mask and everything with Meals on Wheels. So far, so good,” she said.

South said she tried to get a vaccination appointment online for herself a few weeks ago, but finally gave up as it was too frustrating. She plans to try again soon but said it's not a huge priority for her.

“I’m a pretty healthy person and have good immunity. I’ve been exposed a couple times and got tested and was negative,” she said. “I know I should get vaccinated.”

She said the battle with the virus has gone on longer than expected.

“I’m wondering when it is going to get open,” South said. “I’m hopeful that we’ll all get to open up pretty soon.”

Bill Faris, a Meals on Wheels driver, has received one “painless” shot — and is scheduled for a second in early February. A retired physical therapist, he is for vaccines.

“They have a purpose, very preventive,” he said. “They can protect us.”

Elaine Eberly, standing nearby after her pool game, wasn’t so sure.

“I have never had a flu shot so I decided not to do the vaccine,” she said. “I always said if I ever got the flu bad, I’ll get the vaccine and flu shot. That’s where I’m at."

Ray Nash was also not planning to get vaccinated as things currently stand.

“Right now, I don’t trust what’s going on. I’m hearing too much bull,” he said.

He said he’ll wait for a few months and monitor the vaccine situation.

“We’ll see, when I think I can trust the people handling it," he said.

Don McSparrin, 96, said he tried to get an appointment but hasn’t been successful. He’s not worried, as he’s feeling good, but still hopes to get vaccinated soon.

“I’m anxious to get my shot,” he said.

McSparrin lives with his daughter and she’ll have to drive him when he does get an appointment for his shot.

“She does all the driving since they won’t let me drive anymore,” he said, shaking his head. “Never had an accident and they took my driving privileges away.”
