You guys are way ahead of us. Here in Alberta I might not get vaccinated until 2022.
There are thousands of shots, and 10s of thousands of seniors and high risk people who haven't been able to schedule shots because of scarcity. If I took the appointment, I absolutely would have taken the dose from someone in a higher risk group. Feeling a twinge of regret and wondering if I made a mistake, but that feeling is far less than the guilt I felt taking the spot of a high risk person. I just hope CVS is able to open the spots for someone else, and it doesn't mean we stole 2 appointment slots and they go unfilled.

I'd love a vaccine -- and I guess I'd have a case as the partner of a healthcare worker -- but given that my 64-year-old mom hasn't gotten it yet there's no way I could work to get vaccinated before her

my brother got it through work since his company is healthcare IT and he was (until the pandemic) a front-facing worker who worked with clients all throughout KS. he didn't do anything at all. just got a random email about a month ago telling him to show up to the company HQ to get his first dose

It's not thinking to deeply when my inlaws couldn't get an appointment until last week and my FB Feed is filled with people bitching about how they can't get appointments for their elderly parents or for themselves and they have comorbidities. When appointments become available, if you aren't logging in at 4:00 am or whatever time they flip, you are SOL. Most people are saying that when they see available openings, but the time they fill out the 4 questions, the appointments are all claimed.

My mom looks set to get her first shot Thursday at least but I agree with Bronto. With all the trouble she’s had getting vaccinated there’s no way I could justify getting a shot before her though it’s moot in my case obvs.

I'm surprised your wife isn't getting one through her job, Syb. My wife works at a big hospital here in Huuston and all workers who wanted one have been vaccinated. They also offered it to any employee's family members or friends over 75.

4:00 am isn't a set time, but that's approximately when her anxiety attacks hit, so she goes online and registers people for vaccines. Some sites might open at 4, or 5:17, or 6:30, but she is refreshing all of them way earlier than I am up. The glitch only works when there are appointments, but following a logical route through the site turns up no openings in the entire state, but going through another state's site then putting in my zip code works when appointments come online at individual locations before someone resets the state setting on the website.

NJ is expanding eligibility for teachers and transportation workers March 15, and restaurant workers and grocery store employees March 29. Progress, but it also means it won't be available to everyone before April at the absolute earliest. I guess it's possible they move up dates...

That's great news. We're not even close. I'm looking at September at the earliest and most likely 2022. We've got a Prime Minster and a Premier botching everything.

https://www.alberta.ca/covid19-vaccine.aspx

This is where we are now. High-risk can't go yet.
Phase 1: January to March 2021

Paramedics and emergency medical responders
Staff in long term care and designated supportive living facilities
Home care workers
All residents of long term care and designated supportive living, regardless of age
First Nations, Inuit, Métis and persons 65 years of age and over living in a First Nations community or Metis Settlement
Seniors 75 years of age and over, no matter where they live:
Starting Feb. 19, AHS will vaccinate residents in retirement centres, lodges, supportive living and other congregate living facilities with people 75 or older
Starting Feb. 24, any Albertan born in 1946 or earlier can book an appointment

She left in August. After dealing with everything in the Spring, she told them she would get them through the wave, but it wasn't sustainable, and she wanted to make up for lost time with the kids while they were home over the summer with nothing to do. Her system is giving vaccines to employees and immediate family.

Oh, gotcha. FWIW, I think you made the right decision. There are times where it's ethical for those of us who aren't eligible for the vaccine to get it, but finding a loophole in the system doesn't seem to be it.

I have three friends who have gotten it and I’ve worked the gymnastics in my head to make it ok for them but only one would I have been personally comfortable with, if that makes any sense.

If people our age are getting vaccinated then kinda wish they’d just give shots to everyone in the NHL and NBA at this point.

Well aware but that wasn’t the inference I was trying to make just saying that the distribution is apparently widespread enough to overcome the appearance of favoritism or privilege if there’s a vaccination effort to allow pro sports to proceed unhindered at this point.

Are there a lot of places where people “our” age are getting vaccinated? Other than healthcare workers or teachers?

In Utah vaccines were just expanded to 65 and up, or younger with health conditions. Don’t know when that’ll drop to 55.

I don’t know why states couldn’t have double tracked this. You could have a restricted track for seniors only, and an open track with no restrictions other than maybe geography. Restricted gets the bigger allotment until it no longer needs it. Like an express lane. As for the open lane, I don’t see the value in pitting everyone else against each other when literally every person’s vaccination is a good thing.

I might feel different if this was a 2-3 year process for everyone who wants the shot, but everything points to it being closer to 2-3 months.

And a restricted track for teachers. And healthcare workers. And essential grocery store workers. And minorities who live in crowded conditions and are more likely to die from the disease. And police officers. And firefighters. And people with certain health conditions.

This is why it's such a mess.

All vaccinations are good, but they're not all equally good.

I get much more upset about hearing about vaccines being thrown out or wasted than hearing someone who shouldn't have gotten one got one. If the opportunity is there, get it.

There are about 1500 NFL players -- with the organization they already have, the entire league would be immediately vaccinated --1500 active people in the community no longer spreading the virus. Those 1500 vaccinations aren't preventing many hospitalization compared to finding vulnerable people that need the vaccine, but with all of the disorganization and other hurdles, getting 1500 vulnerable people vaccinated may take much longer than the NFL.

Indiana is 60 and over. (55 and over as I type this)

I'm all over the place on this. I feel terrible about the initial position you were put in and hearing that people like Brian's mother can't get on a list.

That said, at the end of the day it's about shots in arms so if it's do or die, I say get thee to a shot. More immunity as a whole is a net good. If there's someone behind you and they say there's one more shot, then yea, get the elderly and infirmed to the front of the line.

This is the same thing I struggle with on things daily. I've found it exceptionally exhausting in many facets of my life recently to feel like I'm the only one holding the fucking line out here and doing "what's right". I'm tired of everyone else getting to fly in the face of consequences. It's really beat me down in the last few months. I'm tired of the "you're scared for no reason", skipping events because I'm trying to be responsible. I don't give a shit about masks and distance and whatever, I just want to be normal again for a little while. I wouldn't shove anyone out of the way, but the more shots in arms, the quicker I get out of this malaise.

Just got a notification on my phone that Summit County (where my summer home is) just opened up vaccines to everyone 40 and up.

I pay property taxes there ...

Edit: Never mind. The fine print says that the vaccines are open to people who pre-registered with the County, and it';; be 4-6 weeks to schedule an appointment if you didn't preregister up there.

I tried to register in Summit County but the website is crashed.

But hopefully that's moot because the governor just announced statewide eligibility for 50 and up, starting Monday.

my brother got it through work since his company is healthcare IT and he was (until the pandemic) a front-facing worker who worked with clients all throughout KS. he didn't do anything at all. just got a random email about a month ago telling him to show up to the company HQ to get his first dose
mom should be getting her first shot as we speak ... and I'm eligible starting Monday. hopefully I can get an appointment by Wednesday or so.
thursday is good enough for me!
