No contrary to the news I still cannot get an appointment for a vaccine! Edited April 6, 2021 by Reader0108598 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you are a senior, your health department should be able to help you. Where do you live? It is such a shame that there are so many differences in the availability to get a shot. I wish this had been a national effort from the very beginning. I just had a 38 year old friend, vacationing in a rural area, who stopped to pick up a few things in a CVS store and was offered a shot because the locals were not interested in getting one. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LoriPhil Posted April 6, 2021 #1683 Share Posted April 6, 2021 Our family in other states checked the major grocery and pharmacy chains in addition to registering with their hospital. Niece must drive about an hour over the mountains but snagged an appointment this way. It is difficult since there is little standardization with the states - we hope you can find an appointment soon! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nini Posted April 6, 2021 #1685 Share Posted April 6, 2021 We are in a very rural area on "the edge of the earth". I found out about appointments from our local FB group. It was through the county and set up on some docks about 30 miles away. I made the appointment online for the preferred vaccination and then 3 days later we were "one and done". It ran quite smoothly and was not crowded at all. So, maybe contact the health department for your county? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Ombud Posted April 6, 2021 #1686 Share Posted April 6, 2021 (edited) @Reader0108598If you are in California try Walgreens at 8am. I had to wait 5 days for the 1&done ✔ or register at myturn.ca.gov. It's becoming wide open here if you aren't trying to pick the vaccine. A little harder if you want to do that Another helpful link: https://vaccinefinder.org/ Edited April 6, 2021 by Ombud Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loki S Posted April 7, 2021 #1690 Share Posted April 7, 2021 We have a similar setup via a government website to find medical centres doing Phase 1b, then contact them or book online and select COVID for the reason. Has my first jab yesterday, no major side effects apart from a sore arm but already feeling better tonight. From my understanding Australia’s rollout is behind, one reason is due to importations of the vaccine being blocked. On some good news, it has been announced that a travel bubble between Australia and New Zealand is to open both ways in around 2 weeks. New Zealanders have been welcomed to Australia for a little while, still need to be aware that things can change at the last minute. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you our senior center is closed. Eee gads had to do my own taxes this year, it was scary but I made it through. (Very simple tax return) lol .The last few years our senior center did them.

Rare Ombud Posted April 8, 2021 #1693 Share Posted April 8, 2021 Got my vaccine today so I took it easy. Just light weights, hiking, cleaned house, and a little yard work. I'm more tired than usual but that's it. My arm isn't even sore. Ready to cruise 😁 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Papa Yoda Posted April 8, 2021 #1694 Share Posted April 8, 2021 I went to the Rite-Aid site and got us scheduled for the next day - we go for #2 on 15 April. Very well run and well set up. We were 2 of the 3.4 million to get a jab on that day! 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have been sick three weeks in the hospital last month! I can't just show up when they want and I can't stand in line.I am using a rollator hope it is temporary!

nini Posted April 9, 2021 #1697 Share Posted April 9, 2021 New Grandson safely arrived this morning around 7:00 am.It was a bit touch and go due to a rare "cord insertion" issue that could not be detected during pregnancy. Our daughter had a great medical team plus hubby.Phew! Now I can get some sleep tonight! 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nini Posted April 10, 2021 #1700 Share Posted April 10, 2021 Thank you. They were able to go home today. Barring any reasons to keep them there, they are trying to send mama and baby home within 24 hours of check in, due to Covid. Well, that was a bit tough since baby was born 22 hours after check in. At least this is our daughter's 2nd baby and is not a newbie mom. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
