Nope, I’m still some 13 years shy of the cutoff for phase 1. Hopefully not too much longer…we have a vacation we planned for last fall that could happen instead this coming fall…
We have our 50th in April that is not going to happen then. Eventually, we will celebrate… We do have a small vacation planned with two other couples at the coast in late September though. Should be OK (We hope).
I’m not seriously expecting it until summer (at least). There’s still a lot of more vulnerable people in line ahead of me - - as they should be, I might add. I can wait my turn.
A little bird told me, if your spouse is getting vaccinated before you, drive them to an end of the day appointment. The doses go bad if not used, so you may get one if others “no show” on their appointments.
My wife works in a hospital kitchen. I took her for her second shot today.
The vaccine was not in yet. Back tomorrow.
She had a text on her phone about the one day postponement but hadn’t checked her messages.
One of my daughters works with the elderly and has her shots.
Hopefully I can get a shot next month, but we’ll see if the government
schedule holds up for another month.
Australia hasn’t rolled out much vaccine yet. At this point it seems to me that international travel will be a nightmare unless you have the vaccine, so my guess is we’ll get it. I may be a little higher up the list than my wife, as I am fat and have a smashed up immune system, thanks to surgery/chemo. in the short term I am quite happy to continue with social distancing.
My wife works at a hospital and has had both shots.
One daughter works with the elderly and has had both shots.
Myself and 229,999 others became eligible to book an appointment today.
The website crashed at about 16,000.
Later today the number of appointments was reported as 75,000.
I haven’t been able to get through yet.
I’ll keep trying.
Good luck Bill. Wife’s parents (in their late 80’s) have not been able to book appointments yet in VA. May try and enlist their grandson to do some internet magic to help them out…
I finally got my appointments for COVID shots.
Mar 8 and Apr 19.
I waited out the queue three times, one time for over an hour.
I endured a couple of dozen site crashes without losing my place in the queue.
“Select a time from the list”
“I’m sorry, that time is not available.”
…
“Now make your second appointment.”
“There are no appointments available.”
Repeat three to six times.
“The website is unavailable. Please try again later.”
Now I’m waiting for delays and postponements.
Despite the frustrations, people are getting immunized.
